Atheism isn’t a religion, likewise asexuality is not a sexual orientation, but the lack of one, I say.

Then you must seek to increase your grunt range, or you’ll never make it.

Nah, there’s plenty of both, even mixed in very similar subject matter. Example:

An ATM (initialism) takes a card then asks you for its PIN (acronym).

It’s true, happiness can’t be bought. However, what money can buy is the removal of certain obstacles to that happiness.

Here’s a great response to that:

If you’re at a house party and you need to take a shit, do you do it with the door wide open so everyone can see and smell you? Or do you actually understand, when it comes down to it, that there are valid reasons for wanting privacy other than wanting to get away with something wrong or illegal?

Jimmy Carr said it best:

My father always said ‘Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger…until the accident.’

Redundancies do exist, but I think we naturally try to get rid of them, mostly out of laziness probably, lol. That’s the whole reason “u” and “r” ever got substituted for the words they’re homophonic with. It only saves two letters, but there it is. Contractions in general are the same thing. “Goodbye” is the final form of “god be with ye”, and even that is just “bye” the vast majority of the time.

We are a linguistically lazy lot.

You order your food through doordash. As soon as you place the order the food is made. Then a driver decides to pick up your order. It’s already been 10 minutes since your food was made. It’s now getting cold. The driver finally shows up. It’s now been 25 minutes since the food was made. The driver picks up your order and drives it 10 minutes away. It’s now been 35 minutes since your food was made.

None of this is relevant. The restaurant made the food the exact same way they always make it.

You paid more money for food that sat for over half an hour.

1. They didn’t know how long it would sit when they made it.
2. They can’t even assume it will sit at all–it’s not uncommon for the dasher to arrive at the restaurant and then have to wait for the food to finish being made.

The food is now sub par and cold. You eat it anyway.

Only because of the passage of time, not because the food was any worse to begin with.

That tells these businesses they can just cut quality and charge more because you’ll still pay for it.

That absolutely does not follow, lmao. What an absurd leap.

Firstly, the notion that a restaurant is actually going to go out of their way to tell their cook(s) to make a dish in a cheaper/worse way, but ONLY for doordash etc. orders, is patently ridiculous.

Secondly, the restaurant makes about the same money either way (doordash vs. in person, I mean); the % increase on doordash is typically very close to, if not equal to, the % cut doordash takes for the services they provide the restaurant (maybe a bit less because doordash also saves the restaurant money by them not having to hire delivery drivers). If they push the doordash price up much beyond that, it’ll no longer be competitive, and competition is already MUCH more of an issue on doordash than it would be normally, because of how easy it is to ‘shop around’ restaurants in your area on doordash.

You little piggy. You’re gonna eat this cold overpriced food little piggy. Come get your cold shit quality food little piggy.

What is wrong with you? lol

‘He preferred that’ is all the reason there needs to be, I guess, lol.

Death caused by naivete, especially when it’s a child, who is fully expected to be naive, is still tragic.

I allow an exception for cereals that get soggy/flavorless very quickly when wet (e.g. frosted flakes). Controlled ‘dunking’ with your spoon after the fact optimizes the amount of milk exposure. 🤓

To be fair, UFO is an initialism, not an acronym. But at the same time, if it was, I think it’d still be an example, because we’d likely pronounce the U like “oo” (as in “boo”), lol

I’m not really into it, but it seems I’ve been saying it right the whole time, nice lol.

“Next” would be completely redundant if the intent is to refer to the soonest occurrence, though. You can just say the day of the week by itself–the context of referring to a future event makes the intent 100% clear.

When we do use “next”, we’re literally just using it as an abbreviation of “next week’s”, because using it the word literally would be pointless for the reason stated above.

Why would doing this affect restaurant food quality at all? The only difference is that you pay more, because the restaurant passes the cost of being ‘on’ the service, to the customer.

Please elaborate.

The name was proposed by German astronomer Johann Elert Bode in 1782, breaking from the tradition of naming planets after Roman deities. Bode argued that since Saturn is the father of Jupiter, Uranus should be named for the father of Saturn, aligning the planetary hierarchy.

While it broke the previous pattern, the reasoning is solid, and he’s the guy who confirmed it’s actually a planet (when it was first discovered, meant thought it might just be a comet or something like that), so I’m cool with letting him name it how he pleases.

But regardless of what the creator says, hard G on “gif”. Sorry man, closest analogue is “gift”, and my brain is going to want to pronounce a ‘word’ that starts with the same 3 letters, the same way.

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn’t take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It’s clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother’s mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

70% of that $2.4 million should have been taxed

It’s literally post-tax income already, lol.
