Let’s also be aware of 1) what putting food in an airtight bag and 2) removing as much of the air is actually doing. Most of it is moisture - some foods are wet and you don’t want them to dry out while other foods are dry and you don’t want them to get wet. There’s also the issue of smells mixing in your fridge,…

With the current 10-digit system used in the US, there are theoretically 10 billion possible phone numbers (not counting shorter number like 911, obviously), but not every number from 000-000-0000 and 999-999-9999 can be issued. That said, the number of valid numbers is still a lot more than the number of people and…

There’s a difference between “derogatory” and “slur”. I can call someone a jerk or stupid or ugly and none of them are slurs - that’s typically how I’ve seen “spaz” used in the US my entire life and it’s an entirely different level than it is in the UK. Like, it wouldn’t be out of place on Nickelodeon or any other…

I get what you’re saying, but in the US I’ve always heard of “spastic” as meaning “erratic” or “shaky” literally or “weird” or “crazy” figuratively. Same with “spaz”, which always sounded like “generic 80s movie insult from an older sister to her younger brother”. The idea that it could be in reference to a…

That’s the thing though, it’s not a matter of knowing that the word is offensive elsewhere and deciding to use it or not, in her case she didn’t know. She decided that she didn’t want to be the reason that teenagers on Tiktok were singing a slur and I don’t think she’d be comfortable performing that word in the UK…

This got Nintendo in trouble with one of the Mario Party games years ago

I don’t think it’s wrong for people to tell her that the word in her song makes them uncomfortable or ask for her to change it. On the other hand, a lot of the responses don’t seem to get that the word isn’t remotely offensive in US English and she legitimately just didn’t know how it would be taken in the UK and…

This is an insane response. I don’t know how you get that she “does not care about black female empowerment” from her changing a word that she didn’t realize was offensive when she used it in the first place. It’s one thing to say “fuck you if you’re offended by me, I don’t care” and another thing entirely to say “I…

I never meant to imply it was a global, universal cost of doing business, I thought that was clear.

I don’t know why you think I’m trying to say something profound or enlightening - there is a cost associated with accepting credit cards and I will almost certainly not go somewhere that is cash-only, so that cost is literally the cost of doing business for me. That’s it. Obviously they all know how this works and the…

It takes almost no time to clean the toilet bowl but we all slack on it, definitely something to check when you know someone is coming over.

I never said that I wanted to put cash-only places out of business or anything like that, but there have been multiple times when I have stopped going somewhere because their refusal to take cards has made it more inconvenient to me than it’s worth. Obviously that line depends on the person (how you personally feel…

I feel like Pace Chunky salsa is like Hershey’s chocolate to me - academically I know it’s not good, but due to decades of it just being the go-to salsa in my house, it’s become like the platonic ideal salsa to me. Other stuff is fine, but it’s not the thing I’m used to.

This mf forgot what a “game” is. Like, you’re supposed to play it. For fun.

People ignore the passing lane etiquette everywhere, my friend.

Abby Trott is really making her way across the genre - April O’Neil here, Wonder Woman in the upcoming MultiVersus game, and she performed the main theme in Smash Bros Ultimate

Better late than never, but have they announced any reasoning why they weren’t included in the first part? Most of these people are still pretty active voice actors (though obviously a few had to be recasted), so was it just a matter of “we don’t want to spend the time and money recording these lines if the game is…

If I had to guess, I’d assume that there were licensing issues associated with his original Wild Thornberrys recordings. He recorded them for a tv show in the 90s, I could see a lot of barriers between that and a video game in 2022. Also, other than the strangely appropriate “SMASHING”, I don’t know how many of his…

Here’s why it works in Sweden: people know about it. If you invite a friend over or your child invites a friend over and the guest knows that they won’t be getting a meal, that’s fine. They’ll either bring their own food or will be prepared to get their own food afterwards (or else to just skip a meal). This isn’t…

There are plenty of illegal things that aren’t immoral, but that’s really up to the person doing it.
