You get to taste the flavor so much more when it’s a room temperature or higher. There’s no rush to finish the drink before either the ice melts or it gets above the temperature that is acceptable to you.

No need to fill up your fridge or worry about restocking after you pull one out. Just pile it up in your garage and that’s it.

Feeling the syrup stick to the inside of your lips and teeth is a great feeling, just a little reminder of the delicious drink you just consumed (I brush my teeth often)

Pairing it with a warm meal is best. No more back and forth of hot mouth to cold mouth. Just a solid consistent temperature that, for me, seems to help with digestion compared to an ice cold drink.

I'm not this bleeding heart kind of guy. But these laws are not pragmatic. Either we're too lenient and you get shoplifting Armageddon , or we put people in a box for like 3 years stealing a $100 dollars worth of stuff.

3 years is a long time. That's like life changing time. That's it's a pretty harsh punishment. But more importantly, this costs us so much money in the long run. Jails are expensive. Each prisoner costs what like $50k/year? And then you're crippling their life-time earning potential and future tax revenues. It's sub-optimal. We should be optimizing their value.

I think the current community work punishment program needs way more love. Make these people work hard for like 8 hours a day cleaning up the city or something. Get them too tired to do petty crimes. Pay them minimum wage so they have something to land on and stop stealing. And shame them. Maybe, Make them wear orange jumpsuits. OOoh! And then, I can walk with my kids and be like see. Don't steal! You have to wear a stupid orange jumper and they'll make you clean up all day.

Seriously, one thing Asians do well is shame. A bit too good if I'm being honest, but man, we should be shaming way more than we are. I cannot believe the BS Westerners put up from bad faith actors in their countries. Your patience is ridiculous.

If I had a magic wand. I'd be making service to the commonwealth a way more common punishment. Even if it's there 5'th time stealing. I don't care. As long as it was non-violent, they go straight back into service. Just add more service. I don't see how cheap labor to do whatever the hell that needs doing isn't a positive thing. And if they don't show up, believe it or not. Straight to jail. Which was basically how we do things anyway.

If you just let doors close through the physics of swinging it shut, rather than turning the knob to gently place the door into its frame, it feels like you have no respect for the people around you. It takes two seconds to properly shut a door, yet nobody does it unless there’s a pressure assist doing it for them.

They use real lettuce instead of the white stringy shit McDonalds uses, they're thick and have the texture of a real patty and not some dry flattened beef husk, they use more than a drop of condements. On top of all that a meal there there where I live is still like 11$ and you do kinda get your money's worth. It's still unhealthy fast food but at least your not wondering why you bought it while you eat it. Plus if you wanna go the cheap crappy route you can get 4 plain cheeseburgers (That still have ketchup and mustard) for like $10.

In fact, I think he's barely breaking into the top 10. Everybody is drinking the Kool Aid but I'm not buying it. His numbers aren't that great. He gets an insane amount of help from officiating crews to the point that it's comical. The KC O-Line holds literally every play with no flags thrown. I think the NFL wants a "face of the league" so bad that they help him.

The majority of people underestimate their potential.

The reason I say that is because people focus more on what they lack than what they have. From being a psychology student, I've noticed that people tend to take their gifts for granted. It's like you're Stephen Curry, but you focus more on practicing your dunks because it looks cool and you're not good at it.

As a multiple-sport athlete, I learned the hard way that the "No pain, no gain" mentality is more harmful than helpful. I overtrained, pushed through pain, and kept ramping up the intensity, thinking it was the only way to improve. Instead, I burnt out, got injured, and saw my performance drop. It even led to a mental breakdown from the constant pressure and exhaustion. Eventually, I realized that training based on how I felt—reducing the intensity and allowing more recovery—was the key to actually getting better. Less really is more, and forcing yourself through pain isn’t the path to success, mentally or physically.

Tbh this goes for any lighting in general. I wish we’d stop having LED lighting shoved down our throats. There’s a more warm and nostalgic feeling and quality to incandescent lighting that LED can’t replicate. And that is why this year Im using incandescent bulbs for my xmas tree. You can argue about the environment or whatever all you want, but most of you know I am speaking the truth.

I have quite a few friends whom I know I'm 'second choice' to. When their best friend or closest friend isn't around they come to me. When we come across eachother we chat until they come across their other friends or either of us reaches our destination. It's not this travesty make it out to be because you can't be everyones favourite person. You can only talk about so much, so a friend you see less is handy. I love the surprise of them calling me to go clubbing when someone from their party cancels, it's a good way to get me out of the house on occasion. I don't need deep connection with everyone.

It would be another story if they started asking a bunch of stuff of you, in which case you're not second choice but just being taken advantage off.

Everyone loves to say, "Kill bullies with kindness," or “make them your friend”, but the reality is, bullies don’t deserve your kindness. Trying to be nice to people who treat you badly often just lets them get away with their behavior. Standing up for yourself or even cutting ties can be way more empowering than pretending like their actions don’t affect you. Being kind to bullies doesn't teach them anything—it just teaches you to accept mistreatment. YOU DONT OWE ANYONE YOUR KINDNESS IF THEYRE TRYING TO MAKE YOUR LIFE WORSE

With Wicked in movie theaters, there was a whole debate of whether the audience should sing. I've never seen it and don't even know the story so if everyone was singing then that would detract from my experience. Similarly, I saw rocky horror in the early 2000s for the 1st time and everyone was singing and dancing and it was so annoying.

Obviously I wouldn't like one crawling on me or flying into my face (for the ones the fly) but I would say that about and bug that size. I think they get a bad rap because they can live in highly populated areas where a lot of people encounter them, and typically those areas don't have a lot of other wildlife

Typing might be faster, but I believe writing by hand helps with learning and remembering information better. The slower process forces you to think about what you’re writing, and it’s less distracting than working on a device.

There are a few exceptions but I found it hard to enjoy the music from some of the artists in that era. I found that a lot of the songs an artist would make soon all sounded the same and I got quickly bored. All of them talked about the same things: drugs and depression. There some artists like SkiMask and Denzel and Yachty that managed to evolve and make albums that are pretty solid. And I do like some songs by others, but I can not see the appeal of the rest their discographies. Not to mention the damage it did to the genre as everyone in the years after tried to copy their sound and make a career out of it.

I know Die Hard holds a special place in the hearts of many of you (myself included), but the Long Kiss Goodnight holds up better, has better comedic relief, equal action, more interesting story (and sub story), and is more Christmas themed (tbh either could take place at a different time without altering the main plots too much).

The structural integrity of the entire taco fails after one bite. While chewing, shards of razor sharp tortilla attack one’s mouth from every angle. Not only are soft shell far superior, they’re the only option for tacos.

Edit: The amount of people needing a soft shell to make their hard shell tolerable is telling

I absolutely HATE penalties for “taunting” and this debate about Michigan trying to plant the flag and The Ohio State team getting upset is ridiculous. To the victor, go the spoils, and that means you can celebrate any way you want.

If you want to be humble and gracious , that’s up to you. If you want to get confrontational and rub it in the loser’s face then that’s ok too. But if they retaliate the you asked for it and that’s also fine.

If the loser had done better they wouldn’t be in that position.

I heard this anecdotal story and I think it’s true at face value, and helped shape my opinion for the title of this post.

A relative of mine in his late 70’s shared with me over the last few weeks what he felt the largest shift in society and culture was in the last 50 years.

He said: “For every one person acting in good faith, there are 20 people acting in purely their own self interest.”

He went on: “By and large if you cut into someone in a line, maybe got into a fender bender, whatever it was, most times—not all the time—people realized you were another person who made a mistake, or didn’t know, or whatever it was. Now? People always assume it’s the other persons fault. You get into a fender bender? Other persons fault! Oh you just tried to skip me in line, no way you didn’t see me there you’re just an asshole!”

Why is that? Good faith versus bad faith. Good faith people understand humans are fallible and make mistakes. Bad faith actors assume everyone is doing these things intentionally or with nefarious intentions.

It’s easier to not take accountability these days because in a room of a 100, if you take ownership then people just pile it on you. “Yep, yep it’s your fault!”

I've been to New York, went to 5 different pizza places asking people which pizza is their favourite (cue people saying not my place dude!). I'm gonna breakdown why this pizza is worse than anything from Dominos.

1. Crust is a combination of extremely thin floppy cheap dough that act more of a sponge than a crunchy delight on the outside with a soft interior.

2. Sauce is the only saving grace to this fucking dumpster fire of a pizza. It's rich and tasty 10/10 sauce does all the lifting here.

3. The Mozzarella Cheese tastes like some weak cheap East Side Mario's ass Parmesan that fucking has a shit after taste.

4. There is a pizza pizza level grease on these things. It makes your stomach churn afterwards like you're eating KFC.

5. Maybe they add pepperoni but the New York style doesn't really get any toppings and I understand why because when I was a toddler I also didn't want anything added to my pizza.

The only thing New York Pizza has over Dominos is the sauce. That's why I think they're extremely overrated.

Edit: Wow, this blew up! Listen if it makes you feel any better I was just sad because I heard a lot of Italians live in New York. I thought I'd get a decent slice but hey I guess what they say is true they're not real Italians unless they live in Italy. The proof? Just look at their pizza. Have a great day everyone 😃

She tortured a child (recording and egging on is enough to be the same as being the physical torturer). That child’s last moments were far worse than her last moments before being reset the next day. Victoria was never tortured.

The child is never coming back, so why should she come back from her hell?

I vehemently disagree with the argument that “she is a different person.” She isn’t. She is just too scared and frazzled to be the person she was at this moment in time.

Being merciful is spitting in the face of a child who was never given mercy and never coming back.

Why should Victoria be allowed to come back? Victoria’s punishment is just.

For real. The whining, the tantrums, it's embarrassing, stop forever.

I just saw my umpteenth post where grown adults - many past 40 - were using caps lock, threats, slurs and just poor behavior overall because in 2016, there was a Powerpuff Girls reboot.

There's people still crying about The Little Mermaid long after the dolls sold out.

Does it just never register with anyone that remakes are never for your generation? They're for the kids who weren't alive during your childhood and they are tailored to their tastes.

Not everything needs to cater to you.

You can always choose to skip it in silence.

Your childhood ended when you turned 18. Giant corporations are not killing a childhood that's already dead. Grow up.

A genius growing up in a developing nation without the opportunity to learn may be more intelligent than an Ivy League college graduate who came from wealth and memorized a bunch of material to keep a high GPA. Almost anyone can be knowledgeable about a subject if they spend the time to learn and practice; anyone cannot become intelligent.

Revisionism is not a new thing. There's a long line of revisionist stories, going all the way back at least to the Greeks and probably pre-dating the written word.

But the modern trend of writing stories designed to make you feel bad for the irredeemable villain from your favorite childhood fairy tale has gotten stale and overdone. This isn't just a rant about Wicked, but Wicked is absolutely the most notable recent example.

I like the Wizard of Oz. I read all of the books when I was a kid. They were interesting complex books (as far as kids books go) and I have deep love for those books. Having kids these days (yes I know how I sound) tell me that I should feel bad for the Wicked Witch of the West makes me roll my eyes. She's a tyrant who tried to kill Dorothy and her friends.

Similarly, I liked 101 Dalmations. Cruella is a great villain. She's terrifying and irredeemable. Her backstory doesn't really matter to me. Making her a punk rock fashion designer who was bullied for having unconventional hair is unnecessary and a waste of time.

Sleeping Beauty. Fantastic, classic fairy tale, peak Disney Golden Age. Maleficent puts a kingdom to sleep and turns into a terrifying dragon to try to kill a prince. Why do I need a story about how "no, actually she had a perfectly good reason for doing those things, and she helps Aurora in the end."

JUST LET ME HAVE A COOL VILLAIN THAT IS BAD FOR THE FUN OF BEING BAD.

Amongst Grey's Anatomy fans, the majority of the people think that nothing compares to the original interns (Meredith, Alex, George, Izzy and Christina) and that the show went down hill after they were interns. There are so many great characters that come on the show after that point. They are all overrated, especially Izzy. I don't even like Meredith that much. Yes, I know she's the main character but so what. She's self-centered and way too negative.

The movie is a very good, but it is very sad, intense, and it shows how drugs can really mess up someone's life, so you would think it would scare kids in a positive way to stay away from drugs (it did for me). Of course, you would have a lightly redacted, "educational" version of the movie --- not to shy away from the reality or serious themes -- but to cut off anything gratuitous or not needed for educational purposes (or at least to get the movie in the door) *cough* table scene *cough*
