Everyone’s self employed and stops complaining about their boss
I’m gonna complain even more, I won’t do what that idiot tells me
When I was self employed my boss was terrible. He’d make me stop working to jerk me off like ten times a day
About to be my first full year next month. Among the best decisions of my life - so far.
I thought of this while pre-cutting the base of a plastic bottle cap with a knife so that, when I unscrew it, it comes off cleanly - like they used to - without sticking to the bottle or leaving behind sharp, poking bits. This is a thing in the EU nowdays, and obviously, this is the correct way to open them from now on.
Okay, now that one’s petty. Mostly because I like when either of those things happens. If it sticks to the bottle it’s like having one of those skinny bottle top rubber thingies to hold it on, and if the edges are sharp and pokey I get to feel them on my lips.
Serving bacon with sweet things. No more bacon-honey-maple-cinnamon whatever. I have spoken.

Going to be pickle stonks. Get them while hot

I love garlic stuffed olives, but have to eat them with chopsticks to slow myself down.

My dogs love Pupperonis (one letter away from pepperoni), but I call them puppereenies so they don’t go ape shit when discussing toppings…
Edit: Swipe typing is getting worse every day, fixed auto assumptions…
I feel like swipe typing worked flawlessly over a decade ago, i don’t even bother with it anymore.
“Andrew Garfield nice”!?
How many times do I have to manually enter “nude”!? I wanna see that Andy G, D!
And you’ve taught your dog to eat Pupperonis with chopsticks?

The foreign language trick doesn’t work, turns out dogs can pick up words from various languages
- You’re getting paid for your commute time now. Your employer is covering tolls, transit passes etc.
I wonder how fast they would start allowing work from home again.
Not that fast really. It’s pretty common in europe if you can ride a train and work en route. I’ve even seen people compensated for driving time & gas.
And salads! It’s so much easier.

Pets will be told about foods, walks, and treats in a foreign language as to prevent them getting excited about things they love during normal conversations
And this was how TheAlbatross’s Labrador became fluent in Croatian.
Which one?
You fool! I eat chips by pushing the bottom of the bag, then grabbing one with my mouth. No utensils required.

Everything, but in too many small ways for me to list. You just keep going, and I’ll let you know when you mess up.
I changed my mind actually. I’ll just do it; it’ll be easier for both of us.
Your way is now the right way.
My way was always the right way!
But now it’s official.
We’re eating nachos with forks
Well I’m glad this is a hypothetical, you fucking war criminal
Keep your hands to yourself, you filthy germ factory.

For close to 20 years now my wife and I have bought twin sized flat sheets and blankets for our king bed. We’re both blanket hogs and now we get to be by not sharing. People used to look at us like we were crazy when we mentioned it, but I hear more and more people doing it and even saw and article calling it the “Scandinavian method” or something else pretentious sounding.
We’ve been doing it so long I feel like we invented it, even though that’s a silly idea. But I am half Scandi so, you know, maybe it was named after me.
As a Finn, “scandinavian method” sound hilarious, though technically we’re not part of Scandinavia. And yea, ofcourse people have their own blankets. You don’t share a pillow either …right?
Honorary Scandinavians though, right?

Why not get two sets of king size? I mean twin sized blankets are too small for adults in my opinion. Especially during winter.
Twin size are plenty big for my 350lb frame to cocoon up in. King sized blankets are 7 feet wide.
The proper spelling is indeed Rebekah. Also, chili is eaten over rice or mashed potatoes and always has beans. All cats have an infinite amount of names, none of which they respond to and most of which are very situational.
Chili with cornbread is phenominal. Never had it growing up in the US Midwest, but moved south and fell in love. Still make it now on the other side of the globe. Rice isn’t my favorite and potatoes wouldn’t be my first choice, but chili is basically just a curry in the modern sense anyway for most recipes so that makes sense.
- No opinion, so OK
- Criminal, and also a sign that someone has never had Cincinnati Chili
- Truth
I’ve had cincinnati chili, and guess what? I’d still eat it over mashed potatoes But, ah! It’s okay to eat food wrong. That is always fine.
No. No, over mashed potatoes I think it’d be fantastic. I’ve probably eaten it that way myself. But didn’t you say something about rice? Rice would be an abomination. Like, almost as bad as not putting pineapple on your pizza.
I said mashed potatoes or rice! A choice!
Ok, sounds good!
Cincinnati Chili
I’ve never had Cincinnati Chili but would like to. Point a fella at a decent recipe?
It’s mainly just an all-meat chili with a lot of seasonings, but not necessarily a lot of spice. Like, it has chocolate in it - not sweet chocolate, but the powder without sugar. And cinnamon.
We discovered it when we were doing a low carb diet, because it has no carbs in it. But it’s one of our favorites. I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite chili of all time, but is among my favorite dishes, if you get what I mean. I do like a chili with beans.
I couldn’t find the online original; we may have copied it out of a book. Here’s a PDF version of the recipe we like. We used to have it over spaghetti squash.
Nice one, thank you!
Chili over rice—esp. something with more flavor, like Jasmine rice–is pretty good, TBH. I always put beans in my chili, because I know that every time I do it, a Texan dies.
And yeah, that’s pretty much the way cats are now, so, no change.
I normally would have balked at the mashed potatoes suggestion, but I made a 13 bean soup with a creamy potato base recently and then I made chili with the leftovers and it was godly.
a 13 bean soup
Just a small portion then?
I had a crush on a Rebekah once. It was during music clinic.
Toilet paper only goes on horizontal rollers with the flap facing down in the front of the roll. No more feeling the back of the roll to find the loose end.
My cat wants to move in with you for some reason
I had an actual fight with my wife once about this. We’ve always had cats, and it’s scientifically proven that, in households with cats, the only right way to mount toilet paper is with the loose end down back.
I lost that fight because she played the “petty” card, but I at least got her to agree that - whichever way - we had to be consistent. Inconsistent mounting is worse than any other consideration.
If you flatten the roll before putting it on the roller the kink prevents kitter-spinnies. This lets you put it on the right way 😋
I have had cats for years and never had this issue outside early kittenhood. Interesting.
Extra points for petty, minor things.
Fine.
Only using even numbers for volume or brightness. No handshakes (between humans). No unsolicited hugs. No greetings. No Christmas, new years eve, Halloween, birthdays, etc. (only regular days). No loud talking (if any) on public transport. No phone calls or video calls. No purchases of digital goods (be it media or software) that doesn’t come on a physical copy. No buying from Nestle. Avoiding supermarket membership “discount” (read: “data collection”) programs.But even numbers aren’t primes!
Your way is now the right way.
Oh well, but it is my way.
Even numbers are so six-a-dozen.
Only using even numbers for volume or brightness.
Can 5 be an honorary even number?
Fine, those are okay. But I still prefer 16 over 15.
How do you turn it up to 11?
Football is defunded, everyone watches pro wrestling now instead
Lateral move at best.
Nobody is allowed to say “eepy” anymore.
TIL eepy and I hate it.
“Eepy” really bugs me because that’s not how sound change happens in linguistics. It’s very rare to drop the initial consonant of a word let alone a constant cluster. I would expect something more like “sweepy” since swapping L and W sounds is common or “seepy” as the L fades away completely.
However, I think it would go in the other direction and people would add an initial E sound to make “esleepy”. This phenomenon can be seen in French loan words like estate (state), esquire (squire), escrow (scroll - bonus points for L to W).
Uhhhh, words are my special interest lol
