It’s funny, I read it exactly opposite to that. Almost like we can’t know their genders just from this.

Isn’t this just being a chef, except instead of nutrition pellets it’s vodka and cigarettes?

Most people I know that enjoy music do it this way. Taking time to just relax, listen to music, maybe have a drink along with it.

I can’t sit and listen to music like that for long periods of time (like, maybe 2 songs), but I always figured I was the weird one for it.

You’re perfectly fine. Do what makes you happy and enjoy music however you want!

Because it is comfortable for them, it is familiar, it is safe. It definitely is sad when people don’t try to experience new things, and it almost definitely gets them stuck in a rut. But that’s what they want.

Not having (persistent) hobbies isn’t much different than only ever doing the same thing. There is plenty “new” to experience by improving a skill in something, just as much as trying something new at only the surface level.

Comfort, predictability, familiarity, routine, not needing to think about it or make decisions, catharsis, not needing to pay attention and being able to zone out, actually enjoying the thing itself and not getting tired of it when repeated, fear of trying something new, fear of mistakes or choosing wrong…

Sometimes I like to try something new, go on an adventure, experience novel stimuli. Other times, I just want to exist, or I want to comfort of something familiar.

Do you never repeat something? Are there hobbies that you enjoy that require repetition to progress? I enjoy painting miniatures, and I like trying new techniques or finding new (types) of models to paint, but in order to improve my skill I need to do the same or similar things over and over. If you also have a hobby that you return to, there’s part of your answer why people will do the same thing - they enjoy it. You don’t have to enjoy what they enjoy, and I’m sure they don’t enjoy everything you do.

That’s interesting to me. I don’t think I’ve ever lived near a Little Caesars that had in-house delivery (or delivery at all outside of like DoorDash), and every Dominoes I’ve ordered from has had delivery. I can’t say for sure if it was in-house, but it was delivered in a car with the Dominoes signage.

I was once hired as a lifeguard, but the pool wasn’t finished being renovated in time for summer so instead I spent the summer repainting speed bumps of the community.

Definitely agree. I’ve fallen on both sides of that ability to afford treatments for pets, but I find the “just let sick pets die” sentiment disturbing.

You don’t need to show ID to enter the store just because they sell cigarettes at the front counter. The staff person checking the OD at the front counter isn’t memorizing the information on the ID and using it to track every other purchase you make in the store, or to piece together what you’re doing once you leave the store.

Locking individual content behind age verification (and it entirely depends on how they are handling the age verification), is different than a blanket identification check to use the platform at all. Age verification is used to prevent children from buying cigarettes from a store while under aged, but it’s up to parents to prevent them from getting cigarettes other ways.

The time you grew up in sucks

Good ol’ Hamlet! Anytime one of these “what if centaur but different” posts come up I think about him

It’s not ctrl+shift+f10, but you may need to hold the FN button if your F keys are also media keys. Try restarting the computer if it doesn’t work the first time. Does not work with S-Mode Windows

You can also try the command

start ms-cxh:localonly

Note, this only works if both ends of the plug are on the same breaker circuit

More features, more that can go wrong. More tech, more that can fail or work improperly. Usually these are more expensive repairs, too, if they even can be replaced without replacing the whole unit.

Modern appliances have a lot more features, and usually have some very nice improvements! However, they have a reputation for being unreliable and failing early.

The overall sentiment of the thread is how appliance don’t last as long as they used to, before they added all the “smart” features. That the durability is the measure of “goodness”, not the number of features. You brought up a bunch of great features, someone replied to you that their new appliances didn’t last longer than two years before being replaced.

That is how it relates to your comment, as a counterpoint.

Don’t insult Satan by comparing him to Dump

That is the opposite of this though, like all the other comments are trying to explain.

Eucharist = wine and bread turning into Christ’s blood and flesh

Comic = Christ’s blood turning into wine

How are so many people getting that backwards? Are you all trolling?

It’s just one you vibe with. Maybe a friend or family member is a fan. Maybe it’s the rival of the local area. Maybe it’s a team from the first game you watched in person. Maybe you like the mascot (if they have one).

There doesn’t have to be a rhyme or reason, it’s just a game. Find one, follow them, you become invested in them, now you’re a fan. Some people take it more seriously, some people keep it light hearted, and some people don’t care at all.

Isn’t Saitama immune to her powers?

Yeah, I’ve heard “boss” used in prison movies and such, but I’ve also heard it in places of employment (even when the person isn’t the supervisor or boss), between customer and service worker (both directions), with strangers (“Watch your step there, boss, there’s a sudden drop”). Never saw anyone offended by it in my own experience, so it’s news to me (and good to know) that there could be groups out there that are offended by it.
