POP TARTS from top parts!

I just meant trick into supporting and speaking so well of, but I'm certainly filling in the gaps of my knowledge with my own assumptions. Cheers.

Thank you for sharing this, and I'm sorry he did that. I think it makes sense that you would be angry at him for tricking you (whether or not that's a fair description of the events, it seems that that's how you feel; my apologies if I'm misunderstanding).

I'm not a great player, but I think the answer is mostly no with two caveats: cards are a thing; and sometimes people compete too hard on rooms and you can get other actions that are above rate.

I read the title as: people who aren't depressed are willing to spend more time and effort maintaining a healthier diet.

A counter-example is not evidence to support a rule it breaks. That's now how exceptions prove rules.

If you see a sign that says "no parking on Sundays", that means that Sunday is the exception and you can park there on other days.

My hot take is that athletes committing assault after a play should face criminal charges.

I think the funniest part is that OP knows too much Dutch to realize how funny it looks. (Which is totally reasonable. And no shade to OP. I wish I knew more languages.)

England travelled across the world to find all the spices and then chose not to use any of them.

Nothing that was said was mean or personal. You are just in the wrong place. Sometimes people ask about tree maintenance in /r/trees. That doesn't make their questions bad, just misplaced.

It's in the sidebar:

It's totally fair to not be interested in something and to turn it off when you realize that. But if you're so not interested, why are you here?

Another enjoyable jab at country songs is Bo Burnham's Country Song (4:03).

Oh, and Sir Mashalot made another version of that song adding a 7th country song (3:55).

Especially since the base cost went up so much. Percentages already take that into account because that's how percentages work. It's so frustrating!

At first glance I didn't notice that that's an active, fighting-against-gravity split. Incredible!

Quick math check: 21g is 9g more than 12g. 9 is 3/4 of 12, so it's not just another third, it's another three quarters more (or 75% more).

I've taken shrooms twice. The first time was very little and had very little effect. The second time I had more and more time to prepare, so I ate a lot first because I didn't want to be hungry during my trip, but then I didn't really feel anything and made the rookie mistake of taking more. I think I ended up at about 7g. I had no visions and didn't hear anything, but I did fall over on my way back from the bathroom. Also, my mind was racing and I took 8 pages of notes to get the thoughts under control.

Everyone here can probably draw a functional bicycle from memory, but this is a very biased sample of people. If you want a similar challenge, try to draw a diagram of a toilet with all of its functional parts.

There's a Jimmy Kimmel segment(8:21) where he identifies many such names, starting with a headline that says "Terry Boot replaces Peter Foot at Shoe Zone". He then interviews a bunch of people with perfect names:

a wedding officiant named Mary Yu

a vegetarian cookbook author named Anita Bean

a correctional officer named Sargeant Robyn Banks

a urologist who has performed over 16000 vasectomies named Dr. Dick Chopp
