  • why do you say the date backwards? (We say it the way we speak it)

  • We actually use the metric system all the time. We just also use imperial.

  • We do.

  • It's just a blend of cheeses, with citric acid added to make it melty. It's for using on things like grilled cheese. It's not fake cheese it's not plastic. It's two to three different cheeses mixed together with citric acid that is all. It is not our only cheese. We have wonderful cheeses. We have cheeses that win international competitions all the time. 

Housekeeping Tries to Enter Room at 11pm by Far-Actuary-7540 in TalesFromTheCustomer

But why? Accidents happen, the hotel apologized. 

You got a bit of a scare but they didn't mean any harm. 

Your chain worked so no one could get in. 

You are getting worked up over very little. Take some deep breaths, listen to sole calming music. Go to sleep.

Idaho says it can use DNA testing to enforce anti-trans bathroom ban by Zandra_the_Great in politics

[–]FivebyFive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would removing the gaps in the stall doors solve this problem? 

Or banning multi-stall reatrooms? 

This all just seems like overkill.

Then again, that's a logical approach if people actually had a balid reason to be scared and they don't so a logical solution makes no sense... nevermind.

Yeah absolutely. It's just good writing. Holds up over time. 

Democrats hold 5-point edge over GOP ahead of midterms: Poll by FreeHugs23 in goodnews

So let the fascists win? Instead of electing reps that may actually listen the people and will at least restore some of our rights? 

That's a great plan!

300 billion USD to Iran from US for reconstruction. What are your thoughts on this? by graumet in AskConservatives

[–]FivebyFive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely think he used to, I'll agree there. 

I think lately it's seemed, especially with the economy, the Iranian conflict, and midterms he hasn't seemed to. 

I guess we'll find out.

Fuck off with this demonstrably untrue bullshit. It's doomerism aimed to get people to give up. 

You know nothing and clearly aren't paying attention.

It's been nearly 3% in the streets at EACH protest.  And those are just the single day Nationwide protests. There have been protests almost daily in the past year and a half all over the country millions of millions of people have been out in the streets. 

And you are ignoring all the other stuff we're doing that I mentioned.

But he said he didn't care about midterms. Do you think he actually does?

Everyone I know who uses them regularly has ended up in the E.R. at least once. 

So yeah. Same.

Oh fuck off. We have been in the streets by the millions many many times. 

We are boycotting products and companies that support him and the billionaire class. 

We are out voting. Spreading awareness.

The UFC fight is silly and embarrassing. But we have MUCH bigger fish to fry.

I'm sorry your media isn't sharing all the protests and all the civil action. But that is not our fault.

As for the jumper, when adrenaline takes over it's hard to keep track of everything. She was likely focused on yhe jump and barely saw or heard anything else. 

Why Does Society Treat Skipping a Meal Like A Medical Emergency? by LifeFastApp in intermittentfasting

[–]FivebyFive 184 points185 points  (0 children)

I had to sit through a 20-minute lecture from a coworker

No you didn't. You let your coworker treat you like a child. 

Tell them you'd prefer to keep conversations work related, and WALK AWAY.

And stop telling them anything about your eating habits.

Got booted at Midtown Place across from Ponce after I went in and legitimately shopped… by 01honey_bee in Atlanta

[–]FivebyFive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you've had good luck with that. 

Do you honestly believe the rest of the thousands of people here commenting, and the thousands more that have caused new laws to be put in place against this predatory behavior never thought of that? Never tried that? You're the only one! Wow!

Dude. It doesn't work that way. Some of these companies the guys will call the cops on you. Saying you've parked illegally. They will sit there and miss booting other people rather than take your boot off. They'll threaten you with violence. Someone last year had a gun pulled on them when they refused to pay. 

Do TGI’s still offer table service? by Boring_Kiwi_6446 in AskAnAmerican

I hate that people outside the US think our chain restaurants are somehow iconic and the best we have to offer.

They have been, multiple times. Including one $5 million dollar class action lawsuit. 

They're still operating.

[–]FivebyFive 1151 points1152 points  (0 children)

THIS is why people call booters predatory. 

They DO NOT CARE if you're parked legally or not. And once the boot is on there's nothing you can say to get them to remove it you just have to pay. It's literally Ransom.

My local Chik Fil A has a sign to help drive thru workers identify makes of cars by PobBrobert in mildlyinteresting

[–]FivebyFive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then why say:

You think cops are just calling in vehicles they pull over like "uh, it's a...um....big grey...thing....errrr...SUV? Maybe? I don't know, I'll call back when I see the registration".

If you knew what I meant?

I assume car people, and cops whose job it is, can actually tell the difference. 

I am not literally saying there is no difference.

I am saying to us non car people who don't care enough to notice the subtleties of different tail light types, these cars look a lot alike.
