@creedhands I'll add to that: newborn babies look like potatoes. Takes them a good few weeks to cuten up.
College sports are boring
Salad for breakfast is damn refreshing

The opinion above mine is very popular with the people I grew up around!
People who don't understand the difference between sex (physical) and gender (psychological, social) are waaaay behind the times.
@Starlost More a diatribe than an opinion . As someone who has a son that would be considered "other" who has a trans boyfriend (female to male ) I do respect your right to have your opinion. But if I heard you speaking to him or his boyfriend in that manner just realize your face would be on the ground
That's your opinion. You're entitled to it 🤗
eating dry cereal with no milk or other juice or liquid is wonderful, it doesn't get mushy, when something needs attention!
@CUD_male I'll take this one step further and say that eating uncooked ramen can be great for the same reason!
EDIT: I take this back ಠ_ಠ I'm never eating ramen again. I'll get you for this, @sunnysideup ! lol
And seasoning packets for cooked ramen should be added AFTER you drain the water.
@pmvines salad with breakfast is very standard in some cuisines, Japanese I think comes to mind.
@squeakytoy I also used to really like eating raw instant ramen noodles, until I heard about the 'acceptable' amount of rodent feces, and other foreign ingredients like insect fragments it contains
Hot sauce is essential @pmvines
@SoftPetals 👍🏼With you on this
Peeling sunburn off is wonderfully satisfying.
@sunnysideup I noticed that in Hawaii. The breakfast bars always had salad , rice , and sometimes fish to cater to all.rhe Jaoanese tourists .
@Pearl77 whoever doesn't call hot sauce a condiment is not worthy of a dinner date
Game of Thrones was very poor quality television.
EDIT: Edited original comment about ramen above
@squeakytoy Oh no, I feel terrible! Cooked instant ramen is arguably tastier as a silver lining.
Unpopular Opinion: Who ever changed B.C. to BCE and A.D. to CE and did not send the rest of us the momo was incredibly rude to exclude us older farts.
It's also confusing why they would spend so much effort changing a mere label. It's still basically the same thing: before and after the social and political effects of Christianity on the human civilization.
Momo may well be the only psychologically undamaged character in Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Since the "Common Era" thing has been in use in English since the 1700s, one would have to be a really old (and really inattentive) fart to've missed that memo.
It's recent popularity is easier to understand once you remember what A.D. stands for.
@DarrenWalker the Wikipedia article you're referring to but not mentioning is in error. C.E. originally ment "Christian Era" not "Common Era". "Common Era" did stat popping up in the 1800s but that was mainly within just scholarly articles. Pick up any movie, book, documentary before 2005 and you will see B.C. and A.D. usage. The BBC itself did not even begin switching over until after 2010. (Source: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/reality-check-with-polly-curtis/2011/sep/26/1) So I respectfully disagree with your interpretation or the cultural shift.
@CuddleDuncan it is ancient latin, the language of ancient Rome, the birthplace of the Catholic church. Thus saying "Year of The Lord" in the tongue of the culture that created that Lord makes a sort of sense. But if we used the Klingon calander then I'm sure we'd instead spew and abbreviation out for a year of blood letting or blood wine binging.
Either way, this does not excuse many of us for being left out of the memo. I demand that whoever was handling that mailing list be drug to me in underwear and dipped in salty lime jello as punishment.
Mother's day is a truly nasty idea. The fortunate - those who have been blessed with wonderful mothers - have a choice of either ignoring it or using it as an opportunity to gloat over
women who are unable to have children children whose mothers abused them orphans women who miscarried yesterday children abandoned by their mother etc
@CuddleDuncan So very right. Hallmark can suck eggs
Can we add Valentine's Day and Diamond Engagement rings to that list?
And a family with 2 mothers- they have to share the same Mother's Day? That takes some of the special treatment out of it. Like twins sharing the same birthday instead of flipping a coin for gets their own special day first.
Linking to a thing (and quoting it directly in the mouseover text) counts as a mention of and a reference to the thing.
Also, sharing a special day / candy / whatever with someone you love doesn't decrease the joy—it increases it (unless the thing itself is so commercialized / nasty that there's no joy in it to begin with... which brings me to Mother's Day, which is both).
Re holidays, I am a bit indifferent towards them but at the same time I dont think they should go unacknowledged just because part of the population might not be able to relate or have an interest in it. My mother smiled big and really appreciated the time and effort I put into spending time with her today. Sure it doesnt take a holiday to give a crap about her . But for her its special and has meaning. Who am I to piss all over that
@pmvines I get what you're saying, I'm just tired of relative strangers (ppl at work) guilt tripping me for not "doing something special" for someone that gave me permanent physical damage
@MaullySterling: The founder of Mother's Day also hated Mother's Day, if that helps.
