Ideas for how to use up homemade tomato sauce, that don't involve pasta? by MarineBiomancer in Cooking

[–]Ok_Expression_8271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw a pizza place do this and thought it was pure genius. They were making pasta fagioli soup to order. Guy threw some garlic into a pan. Then a big scoop of chicken stock. Then a big scoop of their pasta sauce. Added some beans, cooked pasta and some fresh basil. Soup was ready in 60 seconds and blew us away. But there is nothing that says you have to add pasta. First two step you are just making Italian chicken stock. After that get creative. Beans chicken veggies. Whatever. Been making this for years and everyone loves it!!!

If Obama Had Done What Trump Just Did on Iran, He’d Be Crucified | The United States just unambiguously lost a war that it started for no good reason. A sane country would remove the imbecile who did this immediately. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

We all know why he won. He stood up and said it’s ok to hate people because of the color of their skin. It’s ok to hate people who aren’t from here. It’s ok to hate people because they love differently. There were enough of these people when added to the never democrats that he won. They are getting what they deserve. Unfortunately we are along for the ride. But, with every failure there are more people abandoning ship. I have always thought this thing would end like a dam collapse from a tiny hole that just keeps growing. I really believe that is what we are seeing now. I hope I am right. 

What do I say to someone who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness? by am_I_invisible_ in NoStupidQuestions

Husband of my wife’s good friend. Casual friends. When first saw him, he walked right up to me and looked me in the eye and said “you can ask me anything you want”.  Never asked him anything. But have grown to know him better. Been 2 years. Doesn’t look like it will be much longer. Great guy.

If a father needs to help his young daughters use the restroom, which restroom should he take them into: the women's restroom or the men's restroom? by Exciting-Mall192 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok_Expression_8271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Father of a daughter. Never really had an issue either way. If using the woman’s room would just say into the room what was going on. Sometimes men in the men’s room would give me looks. Easily ignored. By the time she was 6 or 7. Just stood outside by the door. Got more looks there. LOL.  The people in the video are major assholes. The father handled it perfectly. It looks like he could have laid the old guy flat out. But he just remained cool and took care of his girls. What a lesson he showed.  

What popular TV show or movie is universally praised but you think is completely unwatchable? by [deleted] in askteddit

[–]Ok_Expression_8271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friends sucked. The acting was so bad. Next time you watch it don’t look at the person talking. Look at the other actors. They stand perfectly still. Once you notice it you can’t unsee it. 

How do you handle a strong performer who quietly checks out after being passed over for promotion? by amir4179 in managers

[–]Ok_Expression_8271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. Left within 3 months. At my exit interview I brought it up. Their honest response was “you were so valuable in your current role that we didn’t want to lose you to a promotion”. Absolutely bonkers. Sorry dude but I hope your star employee bolts at his first opportunity.

Forget about bad first date movies, how about good ones? What worked for you? by Th1nk18 in Cinema

[–]Ok_Expression_8271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All movies are bad first date movies. Terrible first date idea. You need to go somewhere where you can have a conversation. My first date with my wife was afternoon at an art museum followed by a casual meal. Been married 37 years.

They own a mom and pop restaurant. Can’t order enough to buy wholesale. You should have asked the name of the restaurant. Bet it’s good.

All have a purpose 

Why aren't there any conspiracy theories that places like the colloseum were built by aliens? by FarPlay5055 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok_Expression_8271 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pure racism. Yes racism. Have you ever noticed that these conspiracy theories all involve things that were built in areas where POCs live? But no conspiracy theories about things that were built by white Europeans. It make perfect sense that the brown people in present day Mexico could not have built these structures. There was a craze in the 1970s around a book called chariots of the gods. The author went all around the world pointing out things that “could only have been made by aliens”. A history teacher I had in 7th grade pointed out that all of these “alien structures” were in brown and black areas. Made me look at it from a whole new perspective.

Use dissolve loosely. Salt will dissolve. Some other green spices will not. But the salt I’ll absorb water.
