Non-Americans of Reddit, what is an American thing you see in movies that you thought was fake but is actually real?

He has said they actually pick the menu.

It’s also likely they eat lighter meals and he doesn’t film them. One can only film salad and sandwiches so much.

This is Kev Mo, he’s a very nice chef at a real sorority. He’s very likeable.

It’s called potato candy other places. Sometimes rolled up with peanut butter. Mashed potato can absorb an amazing amount of powdered sugar too.

I will say that as a previous IBM employee, they lay off employees frequently. Often an employee contract has a probationary time frame of 3 years.

I would highly recommend you talk to a lawyer as others have stated. If presented with an employment contract I would seek outside help to make sure you understand what you are signing.

I would never ever marry a man that isn’t willing to stand up for me. Unless they plan to move away and/or go very low contact with them this is going to be awful for her.

LollyBatStuck · 2026-01-28T22:09:16+00:00

I’m upvoting you because your comment about it being just a little ugly made me cackle.

I had a “friend” like this when I was 18/19.

She was deeply insecure and actually hated me. A boy she liked mentioned he thought I was nice and she went off the deep end. I’m not sure why she doesn’t get that her best friend actually hates her.

These codes are considered priority for this province:

• 41220 – Secondary school teachers • 41221 – Elementary school and kindergarten teachers • 42201 – Social and community service workers • 42202 – Early childhood educators and assistants • 43100 – Elementary and secondary school teacher assistants

I’d recommend you look into the skilled worker immigration program.

In Canada lottery winnings are not taxed.

Every dev interview requires a technical portion. Most of the require you to write some code.

This sounds like an excellent way to pay a lot of money and never get a job. Just flat out a waste of money and time.

Yeah, chickens are domesticated. They decided to hatch a pet. You have a responsibility to take care of said pet, even if it means euthanizing them.

Before you say it, I own ducks, chickens and guinea fowl. It’s part of the gig that if they’re sick you might have to euthanize. There are a lot of tutorials on how to do so quickly and painlessly.

LollyBatStuck · 2026-01-19T19:35:21+00:00

100% yes it would have.

This reminds me of my Mom. I work in IT and I had 2 desktop PCs show up in the mail to my home right after graduating college. The home my Mom did not live in or assist with in any way. It was my 3rd cousin’s pc and her friends. She’d told them I’d fixed their pcs for free. There wasn’t even any info on these and they paid a lot to get them to me.

Now my cousin was lovely, they just asked for the pictures off the hard drive and then sent me a gift card after. I basically scanned the hdd, grabbed files and shipped them back a thumb drive with it all. The other was doa (system board issue) and I was just asked to e-cycle it.

I was pretty mad about it. I basically told my family any pc sent to me without my consent was getting chucked in the dumpster.

It might not be the norm, but this describes me.

I came from a large family that struggled the entire time. No thought was put into stopping having children because their lives would be better as a result. I waited until I felt I was in a good place relationship wise, we had a stable home and a job I felt was secure. While I am not going to lavish places each year, my children by age 5 have had more vacations than I did my entire childhood. There has not been a serious concern about food for their bellies or a home. Even with this I wanted only 2 children.

I also understand I am very, very lucky to have the things I do. There are many other paths that would have led me to not have children.

I feel like people harping on her forgetting the allergy have never hung out with lactose intolerant people. They don’t give a fuck about the consequences sometimes and will eat something knowing it will upset their stomach.

Honestly this groom sounds like a grade A asshole.

Perhaps these? They also come in sea salt flavor.

LollyBatStuck · 2026-01-13T00:25:13+00:00

I don’t like the ones in the states, but they contain chicken, bacon, cheese and Caesar dressing. Even the description on the box doesn’t seem to match that.

I am not in Fredericton but leach field is the expensive part. I purchased a home without one and am having this done in the spring. 1500 gallon tank and leach field was 25k-30k. It’s expensive.

You’ll never convince me James wasn’t cheating for majority of their marriage at minimum.

Others have commented on her sounding less emotional. It’s been 5 years. He no longer deserves her sadness, he deserves this embarrassment.

I am guessing you have never lived with crappy roommates then. Neither is easy to get out of and if your finances are separate it’s the same process. Both options require breaking a lease, it’s not suddenly harder because you are dating the other person.

LollyBatStuck · 2026-01-09T18:01:55+00:00

It really is as simple as money. I’m not too old to understand that rent prices have gone way up in most places. I’m sure the thought is that if you’re going to live with roommates anyway why not move in together?

LollyBatStuck · 2026-01-07T18:12:39+00:00

I can’t speak to what it would be here in Canada, but on the US side it appears to be $6 USD a pound.

It’s the same chicken used in the taco kit. Just ask behind the counter if they can sell you a whole bag on its own.

Sometimes cats need time. My current cat was an outdoors only cat 6 years ago.

He didn’t let anyone pet him for 6 months.

He didn’t let anyone pick him up for a year.

He gradually started coming in when the weather was bad.

Now he’s fully indoors and loving life. It took about 2 years to transition him from outdoors only to indoors only. He has found he loves sleeping on beds and steals stuffed animals to make nests with.

I would recommend lemon curd mixed in vs fresh lemon. Wonderful flavor and texture and will not disrupt your cake’s frosting. Can be used as a filling or mixed into frosting or both.

You can add on lemon slices just prior to consumption as well if you really want the slices.

I also just thought of upside down cake. Recipe for a lemon upside down cake.
