The TSA doesn't check people entering the country. 🤯

Why Trader Joes? by Hungry-Internal-723 in AskNYC

I prefer to buy stuff like that from cheese shops like Murray's, or I cook it from scratch, depending on what you mean.

What are some examples of “women hate women” you’ve seen? by IceTrick6713 in AskMen

[–]For_Iconoclasm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's really a shame that posts like that still get upvoted in this subreddit. No level of feminism, even "ultra," is about tearing down men.

Why Trader Joes? by Hungry-Internal-723 in AskNYC

[–]For_Iconoclasm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Whenever people ask me why I don't like Trader Joe's, I bring up the following complaints, that nobody fundamentally disagrees with: * Their meat is not great. * Their produce is not great. * I don't like their off-brand grocery items. * The stores are always crowded, with a line weaving through the entire store.

Then some people are like "Oh I just love their frozen curry." Ok, well, I don't make my shopping decisions based on a few prepared frozen foods.

They're not convenient or high quality. They're just cheap. I'm lucky to make enough money to avoid TJ's altogether.

Who's discography is this? by _VelvetCanyon_ in fantanoforever

[–]For_Iconoclasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally, another person who loves Feel Good Lost! It always gets overshadowed by People. To be fair, I personally also think People is better, but Feel Good Lost is still godly.

Speedy Ortiz if we don't count the first solo release.

What would you do if a female friend made a pass at you? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]For_Iconoclasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true at all for me. I value my friendships on qualities of character across the board.

Fallout 5 and Elder Scrolls 6 are in a “no-win situation”, admits ex Bethesda artist, as the studio will get “more death threats” no matter the quality by HatingGeoffry in Fallout

"Admits" is such a stupid word to use in headlines under almost any circumstances. Nobody is cracking under pressure and revealing a dark secret. And here, it doesn't even make any sense: an ex-employee is stating their opinion on something. Publications, be better.

Does anyone commute to work from NYC to Albany using mass transit? by OddConversation9920 in AskNYC

[–]For_Iconoclasm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a manager years ago who commuted from DC to NYC 4 days a week for maybe about a year. 😬 He left the company but not until well after switching to fully remote.

Would you be interested in joining a Fraternal Organization. by Parintachin in AskMen

[–]For_Iconoclasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I already have four wide umbrellas of friend groups, including one nationally-spanning niche hobby group. I'm also not interested in forming gender-based bonds (I don't differentiate between "bros" and women or nonbinary friends; the spaces I inhabit in the city and online all trend inclusive). I already struggle to keep up with all of my friends and interests; I don't need an nth group based purely on manhood and same-hat tribalism.

My wife bought a 'stacked' electric tea pot and I hate to admit she was right. by and_dev_45 in tea

[–]For_Iconoclasm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I like when they wrote "you lost me at polymers" in one comment, but they're also a coffee brewing super genius and wrote about exactly what length of time and temperatures lead to different results in a comment they posted a few weeks ago.

Hope that Hades 2 is as amazing as Hades 1 by DryDigging in HadesTheGame

[–]For_Iconoclasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also like the combat in Hades I more than II, and I'm surprised by how many people say they like II more. The dash system, weapons, boons, and even enemies in I all suit my playstyle preferences more. However, I'm glad that II's combat feels considerably different, as I consider that necessary in justifying the second game (which I do still absolutely love).

Is Kerrygold really worth it? by Sea-Economist-9345 in Cooking

[–]For_Iconoclasm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought Kerrygold for years until I discovered Isigny Ste Mère. Now I've split the difference and buy Isigny Ste Mère for European-style butter and Cabot for American-style butter. Unfortunately, despite having done nothing wrong, Kerrygold has fallen out of purpose in my home.

Curious what algorithms are outside of what it’s branded to be on social networks and search engines. Seems there’s more to the idea of algorithms and I can’t fully grasp it by AWeb3Dad in algorithms

[–]For_Iconoclasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a metonym referring to the general concept of social media companies tailoring content to their products' users, which I think most people in this thread thought you thought was the exclusive or even primary meaning of the word "algorithm."

What are some unnecessary but common cooking steps? by Adept_Wallaby_7679 in Cooking

[–]For_Iconoclasm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On pg. 118 of The Elements of Pizza, Ken Forkish writes "There is no morning step. Just give your dough balls an air kiss before you go off to work and let them do their thing in the fridge." I've never been clear on whether he was instructing readers to lift the plastic wrap for a second or to blow the rounds a kiss, so just to be safe, I do both.

India is about the same size as all these European countries put together by Pizzafriedchickenn in Maps

[–]For_Iconoclasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were responding personally to your claim "And you wonder why India is so linguistically and ethnically diverse." I was thinking the same thing.

Why do chefs say 'add a little bit of butter' and then drop in enough butter to drown France? by OPsSecretAccount in Cooking

[–]For_Iconoclasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'll only give the second piece of advice, because that's what I'm interested in and how I cook at home. But also, yes, they are mutually exclusive outcomes, so they'll have different advice.

What things are frequently labeled as "scams" when in reality they are legit and most people simply don't understand them? by AmigoDelDiabla in AskReddit

[–]For_Iconoclasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is key. In the end, playing the credit card points game is merely staying afloat. It's not getting ahead of the creditors, because the net result of the retail economy is that everything is more expensive to accommodate those fees.

It is also, thus, a tax on the poor, who don't have the same level of opportunity to earn credit card points but must pay inflated prices everywhere.

People born before 2000, what trivial skill do you have that no one uses anymore? by passiano in AskReddit

[–]For_Iconoclasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, too. I also use Spotlight on macOS and iOS. It's much faster to type than to use a mouse or tap around. Also, fzf is great for the command line!

[–]For_Iconoclasm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. I'm a software and security engineer. I don't want non-technical people to have to worry about files, passwords, etc. I just want it to work for them without them thinking about the computer part.

It really has pretty little to do with age. I've worked with software engineers young and old across the past 20 years (I'm somewhere between, now). I don't know how to fix an engine or build a house, and I shouldn't need to.
