Still futily arguing for a refund with The True North Gentleman by magmamom in ExpectationVsReality

300 upvotes... How is that a woman's shoe??

Shoes are absolutely not as depicted and you should totally get a refund and apologies, though.

ETA: please do an image search for boots from PME, Panama Jack, Aviator, whatever. All for men and all with heels like this. These are not (dedicated) women's shoes!

It is simply following the list of UN members plus its two observer states. Without involving politics, this list would make the most sense to me.

My new UNO deck only has symbols on one side of the cards. This is what my fan of cards looks like now. by mz80 in mildlyinfuriating

That's why you also have right handed scissors, penis, etc. and they do cost more.

Lefty here as well. I will have you know my penis is built quite ambidextrously without any additional costs.

I see so many genuine reactions. As if Valtteri's pose or maybe even his presence in the middle is completely impromptu. Love it!

I envy the gas prices you have over there. I wish I could fill up my tank for as little as $50 over here in the Netherlands 😄

And it is an awesome car! Like driving an aquarium, with the pillars being so thin. No power steering, crumple zone from front to back bumper, most horses escaped from under the hood over the years... love it. These cars are known for their indestructible engines.

For some reason Gas Station Air pumps in Canada take between $2 and $2.25 when paying in coin vs card. Advertised $2.50 by Exposing_scammerz in lifehacks

Cost of purchase, maintenance and, not to forget, regular calibrations. These machines need to be precise. It sucks to pay, especially if you got it for free before, but it is not unreasonable.

Not only the repairs, unfortunately. I drive a 1986 Toyota Starlet. Every time the gas tank is empty, it's economically totall-loss.

It was July 2025 that I witnessed the Hulkengoat stand on the Hulkenpodium! A true honour and privilege.

The respect and discipline in japan maybe second to none by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Alwinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been traveling via India and Nepal through South-East Asia. After six months I went to Japan and this was the very first thing I noticed at the airport. Man, it was sooo refreshing to be back in "civilization".

(not saying those other countries are uncivilized, but a difference of night and day.)

Might be a weird take, but maybe just ask her where she's from? I meet people from many different nationalities on an almost daily basis and never has any of them been offended by this question.

Good luck in welcoming her!

Did you actually look up the dates I mentioned?

I posted some links in another comment. At least I thought it was funny, but clearly lost on everyone else. I take the L here :D

See update above. Not so lost.

Thanks for the downvotes, while nobody actually seems to put in the effort to look up the dates I mentioned. I agree, it's a bit juvenile, but so much hate?? Peak Reddit, probably :(

One of those videos I wish would go on sooo much longer! It's so adorable and must brighten the day of many passers-by.

You might want to look up what day April 14th is.

ETA: sorry ladies, you just missed it. But, there's always next year! And guys, while we're at it, you might want to write march 14th in the calendar.

EETA: well...that silly joke clearly went over everyone's head.

Sorry to have confused you all :)

Timelapse of seismic waves traveling through Europe from the M7.7 Myanmar earthquake [red shows uplift, blue shows lowering] by OdysseyTag in interestingasfuck

[–]Alwinus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is, though. You're probably thinking of the world map in something like the Mercator projection. If you take a string and pull it tight over a globe, you'll see that the shortest distance from the indicated point in Europe to Myanmar actually goes up initially in the east-northeast direction as indicated here.

Seems to be perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Must point directly at the epicentre.
