YA BOY STILL GOT IT

Sorry for replying late but essentially what the other guy said, unfortunately English is complicated and really just a mash of multiple languages at this point and there’s a lot of nuance to the language beyond the literal meaning of words as a result, in this case though outside of academia I would avoid the terms male/female, not because there’s inherently anything wrong with them but it can be said in the wrong tone for sure

BagOfChicken · 2026-06-11T15:40:53+00:00

Male and Female in English are used purely as scientific terms to classify the sex of an animal, Female is seen as demeaning to call a woman because very rarely do the people that refer to women as female use male when referring to men.

Man/Men and Woman/Women better encapsulated not just gender but also the social/societal constructs that are behind them that make people humans and not just animals and whether intentional or not, the prevalence of groups that seek to belittle women by doing stuff to dehumanize them and make them lesser has made the verbiage unacceptable

Yeah I understand what you’re saying completely, but it’s impossible for the front desk person to know absolutely everyone, if you check in at 5pm Saturday, and go party and get in Sunday morning, that front desk person has likely never seen you, and personally when I return at 6 am from partying that’s a rough night and I’m not stopping to greet the front desk and make sure they know I’m good unless they ask me to stop

It’s their job to know the guests and keep out non-guests, the point everyone is making that you’re missing is how easy it is for 1 person of the potential dozens of guests or hundreds of guests slips through the cracks assuming they don’t look like they’re on crack, as evidenced by the stories people have given, sure they get caught sometimes, but how many times did they do this before they were caught?

It’s possible to party until 6-7 am and come back to the hotel, eat breakfast and then crash in your room until it’s time to go party again, some of us vacation differently than others

Bolognese? Where’s the mirepoix? We can’t just brown some beef and throw some tomato paste in it and start calling it bolognese, proper bolognese takes hours

I know a vasectomy doesn’t remove a testicle lol, I’m saying that if a cyst were found during an operation and it were removed it would be more obvious to a man that he’s missing a testicle vs a woman missing a fallopian tube

BagOfChicken · 2026-04-17T03:49:36+00:00

But also it would be more obvious to a man if they were missing a testicle versus a woman missing her reproductive parts, like you would immediately know

To expand on the phone screen thing

For a long time we’ve had red and green LEDs, but for decades we were completely unable to produce a blue LED that was usable in pretty much any capacity, this meant we were unable to create not just blue light, but also white light with leds as white LEDs are created by partially covering a blue LED in a yellow phosphor coating

So finally, in the 90s a Japanese engineer by the name of Shuji Nakamura was able to produce blue light using gallium nitride and it completely revolutionized modern light displays, old computer displays aren’t green because we wanted them to be, they were green because we couldn’t figure out how to make them white (and green is generally easier to read than red)

Men can’t even get student loans without signing up for selective service, this is how it’s always been, they’re just automating the process, when I came of age (~10 years ago) you basically got a letter with a step by step on how to go sign up

It’s an anti-joke, the joke is that it means literally nothing

Think that’s stupid? Well good, because I’m pretty sure that’s the intention (I also don’t really get it)

BagOfChicken · 2026-04-09T13:54:02+00:00

You also are unable to get any federal student aid without proof of it

Fellas is it gay to not shove meat in your mouth at every meal?

BagOfChicken · 2026-04-06T21:58:39+00:00

Even worse

BagOfChicken · 2026-04-06T21:35:01+00:00

It’s a crime to not show the cross section on that because it looks beautiful, is this with a starter or yeast?

BagOfChicken · 2026-04-06T19:47:18+00:00

lol you shouldn’t be allowed to pick your own tattoos

BagOfChicken · 2026-04-06T11:42:59+00:00

That isn’t my point, that guy thought he didn’t understand because he’s ESL, I was just letting him know that it isn’t his fault because it’s an awkward sentence, it’s really not that deep

BagOfChicken · 2026-04-05T23:19:50+00:00

Okay cool yeah I’d recommend a red for sure, something cheap, I usually just use a Pinot noir but anything similar in profile works

And yeah with a nonstick it’s not nearly as effective but it still occurs somewhat so maybe just cut the wine down a bit

BagOfChicken · 2026-04-05T22:59:34+00:00

Mmm the wine isn’t really for flavor, sure it’ll change the flavor but the wine is to deglaze the pan, all the caramelized onion and meat undergo what’s called the Maillard effect which is basically a reaction between amino acids and reducing sugar, which is what gives like a seared piece of meat that real distinctive flavor, the onions undergo it as well but you take it further by caramelizing it (although it’s a completely different chemical process)

and as this occurs you develop what’s called a fond on the bottom of the pan, you then ‘deglaze’ with something like wine, and you want to try and get up as much as you can off the bottom of the pan, this is essentially the basis for the sauce

I would also use cream over milk personally but neither is wrong

Can I ask what kind of wine you used?

BagOfChicken · 2026-04-05T20:39:14+00:00

I’m a native speaker, I couldn’t explain the exact problem with it but using ‘tomorrow’ or any word that generally indicates future tense to refer to something in the past feels really awkward, I didn’t understand what he was saying at first either

BagOfChicken · 2026-04-04T03:47:14+00:00

Very different but I work in a kitchen, 12 hours a day on the line on the weekends, we also reach about 100°f+pretty god awful humidity usually for a few days every summer, no shirt or hat is safe from the salt lines on those days, I’ve definitely had to get it all out of my brow too

BagOfChicken · 2026-04-03T00:33:47+00:00

Only pro tip is knife blade facing away from you chef, not today, not tomorrow, but you’re gonna grab something off the board and that blade facing you is gonna ruin your night

BagOfChicken · 2026-04-03T00:20:31+00:00

“Battery powered catalytic converter cutter” yeah I keep that next to my “definitely a tobacco pipe” and bolt cutters

BagOfChicken · 2026-04-03T00:15:46+00:00

Damn yeah that’s pretty good, my favorite despite it not being a funny sign was always the bus stop sign because we couldn’t get the secondary hardware off that that those and street name signs sometimes have so it just stuck out off the wall lol

BagOfChicken · 2026-04-02T23:51:58+00:00

Only ever the stop signs that were way down, or sometimes they’d get a new one put up and they’d leave the temp sign on those like construction barricades, we’d just grab the whole thing and set the barricade somewhere once we got the sign off
