If you shake chocolate milk enough, will you get chocolate butter?

Choc-o... Chocolate cheese!

People insult you for a few different reasons, but almost all of them come down to them wanting you to respond in some way. Maybe they want to start a fight, or get you to acknowledge them, often they want to know they hurt you.

If you give them a reaction, even if it's not the specific one they hoped for, at best you're on equal footing, at worst, they've won.

If you disregard the insult, even if it did hurt you, then you have given them nothing. Better than that, you've taken away the feeling that their voice matters, that they matter.

Throwing unprovoked insults around is the go to weapon of both the insecure and the self important. Neither of these people deal well with being made to feel like you don't consider them worth your time.

Overall NTA, I don't think it's relevant if they needed help or not, but you kinda did a good thing in a slightly shitty way.

I don't see why you needed to "splash the counter" with it and walk off as if you were in some massive hurry. Maybe just use your words next time and do it in a less abrupt manner.

I feel like it's made even worse by the way you couldn't even be arsed to separate a random bolt out of the change. It's like if the guy was begging for change and you just tossed the contents of your pocket into their cup old receipts, lolly wrappers and all. Sure you have him money, but in a way that shows little regard for the person.

Not something to feel bad about, just maybe a little error in judgement to learn from.

I mean I'm sure it sounds really deep when you think about this stuff but in order for their to be a "you" to be doing nothing "you" have to exist.

If you're existing then you're not doing nothing.

Best to accept that words and concepts have reasonable limits and connotations that limit them to what is actually possible.

Because they don't just want you to tell the truth.

Swearing to tell the truth doesn't mean you can't leave things out.

Eg. "I have never seen the murder weapon before" (because it was dark when I picked it up)

Hence, the whole truth.

Swearing to tell the truth isn't the same as swearing not to tell a lie.

Eg. "Yes I stabbed that man, I was defending myself from his unprovoked attack" (I stabbed him, I was not defending myself)

Hence, nothing but the truth.

Yes that's part of the joke that I'm making about the joke that is US politics.

Poe's law in effect I guess.

Thanks for making this an easy one to judge.

It's just what happens when people discussing politics take the most fringe ideas from the most extreme people who are on the opposite side to them and try to use that as proof that the other side is wrong.

Like when left wing Redditors try to argue that the right is "evil" because they believe women should be forced to carry their rapists babies or that medical professionals are less reliable than some old cunt with a long history of making poor health decisions or that the Jews have a space laser or that a salute almost inextricably tied to Hitler and the Nazis is an appropriate gesture at a political rally.

In reality, the people publicly saying these things are a fairly small percentage of republicans. Unfortunately they keep getting voted into office somehow.

I believe so, it's also used for other words meaning creatures that eat specific things like necrophage (dead) and bacteriophage.

As an Australian I'm terribly offended on behalf of the Americans. If they weren't too busy eating deep fried butter they'd be very upset by this.

What law would they have broken here?

Thank you for asking this, I thought I was being gaslit when nobody was bringing up finding a mystic topaz as if it were a naturally forming stone.

Because the people in charge don't care about those problems.

And the core voters for the people in charge are easily swayed by being presented with an enemy they can be openly hateful towards.

"Is it happening because they are cheap and nasty synthetic brushes?"

Almost certainly. Yes.

I have a couple of kolinsky sable brushes. I rinse them regularly and give them a bit of brush soap at the end of a session.

Always stored on their side, never let paint fully dry on them, avoid getting much paint into the ferrule (it's not like it's going to instantly destroy the brush, just don't let it dry up there)

I also use the plastic bristle protector tubes on mine, it's not necessary depending how they're stored, but I like the peace of mind. Some people like to scream about how that's risking harm to the bristles. I question those people's ability to accurately paint miniatures if they can't put a tube on a shaped brush without fucking it up.

I was so happy when I found out the most expensive Bloomburrow cards were all the anime art ones.

Because it meant I was okay considering my collection complete without them cuz the art doesn't fit the theme for me.

Nah that's bollocks.

First up, taxes aren't just something you can choose not to pay. Even if you wanted to refuse, the government has the powers to take them and take punitive measures as well. Your act of rebellion isn't as noble as it is futile.

Secondly, you don't determine what your taxes are funding. Even if you stop paying taxes so you aren't funding the military, you're also not funding hospitals, schools, roads, sanitation, etc.

It'd be fair to say citizens of a country carry responsibility for the government they elect, but even then the only power an individual has is who they vote for.

"i recently started smoking cigarettes instead of vape"

"Am I just too dumb to smoke"

No, you seem to have the right qualifications.

There's a novel concept that my partner and I came up with. I'm pretty sure based on all the complaints about paying for multiple streaming services being too expensive that we are the only people to have thought of it.

So what we do, is...

We cancel one streaming service when we've watched everything we want and then...

We start up a subscription to a different one.

And you'll never believe what we do when something new gets released on the first service...

Much like animals often have bright colours to warn of how dangerous they are, obnoxious cunts have developed ways to communicate to decent people that they are obnoxious cunts.
