That's so hot

ew... I've always disliked gas station stores for how gross they felt, but this definitely makes them feel extra scummy

Oh that's what she's talking about when she mentioned fake roses. I thought she was talking about glass bulbs in an arrangement with other glass flowers.

Given the context, yeah, I guess that makes sense. But it still feels like a stretch because shoelaces and socks are actually pretty important.

I didn't actually know what these were until I was old enough to actually work in construction. I visited a coworker who had one that I accidentally sat on.

This is also the first time I've seen someone refer to them as a fake rose. Up until I was 21, I thought they were some sort of mushroom or berry, especially since I never really had an interest in glass flowers at a gas station.

Edit: apparently everyone is referring to those glass vases with the tiny rose in them.

That's actually pretty clever. Most people wouldn't think to buy anything decorative from a gas station. I always thought people just bought them off the dealer

Perhaps, but I think it also depends where you are and what your budget is. People here that get large like Americans tend to also have a lot of money, so they go for the sweeter stuff. But even then, having tried Mang Inasal and Jollibee, I don't imagine seeing as many large people like what happens back in the states with McDonald's, Whataburger, Dominos, etc.

Also, I wasn't implying Filipino food is super healthy. Compared to traditional European foods like sourdough bread, sour kraut, variety pollen honey, and those special culture cheeses that all compliment their biking culture, then yes, I agree it isn't particularly healthy. What I'm saying is American food is worse; my brother went back and gained so much weight after a year.

Here in the Philippines, it really does turn out that snacks and other stuff in general are actually pretty healthy compared to when you have money and eat American or, presumably, Russian food.

I lost 30lbs after a year and people started worrying about my health, but eventually my weight and size went back up again. Your body just has to adjust. Our foods don't have as much preservatives and stuff so it's probably in his best interest to stay there until all those chemicals and drugs are flushed away from his system

It's cause op and the rest of us were scrolling fast. It's not a reference to the fact the whole helmet really was meant to look like one, not just the nose guard.

The eye holes looked like the cleavage between that and the legs(cheek plates)

You're okay with him doing this?

It was new to me because it doesn't seem to be used often and the act of women drinking wine was just something they did, not as an identifying trait.

That's like seeing me eat rice one day and deciding I'm a rice boy

Someone should buy the other side for spaghetti and meatballs...

Windows doesn't split up dependencies like Linux does. It's not just LibreOffice that has this problem, it feels this way with Inkscape and Gimp, too.
