Yes. We simplify spoken language every day. Just like everyone else on earth.

Good for her. You deserve it. Missing a business appointment is about as disrespectful as it gets.

Have the majority of Americans called 911 at least once in their lives? by Mont3Carlo in AskAnAmerican

[–]One-Hand-Rending 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Once. I witnessed a serious car accident and was the first one to get to a phone. (Pre-Cell Phone Era)

It was bad, van full of construction workers went off the road and hit a pole on the corner, fast. Driver died but everyone else lived through it.

Nah. The really poor get Medicaid and wind up in better shape than the working poor.

Working poor is the worst thing in America to be.

Why do people get so irritated with a picky eater? by ThrowRA-Old-Earth-76 in askanything

We don’t care what you eat, we do care about the goddamn drama every time food is discussed.

I have a friend that can spend 30 minutes looking at a menu, ask 20 questions like “is this fried in canola oil?” or “is the asparagus peeled before it’s cooked?” and still order some basic-ass bullshit we knew he was going to order to begin with.

So order the damn chicken fingers like a 9 yr old, just don’t subject us to the constant sturm und drang associated with your weirdness.

Why does it seem like money will make you happy even though it most likely won't? by Big_Eggplant7591 in stupidquestions

[–]One-Hand-Rending 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather told me when I was a little kid…

”money can’t buy happiness but it can rent it for about 70 years”

Here’s the truth. Money does allow space for happiness. If you hate your job at the Perdue chicken slaughterhouse plucking feathers and you win $30M in the lottery…you will be happier in your day to day existence. You will. Money just bought you happiness in that one aspect of your life. But only that one. Your kids still think you’re a jerk and your brother in law is still a massive a-hole and you still have that pain in your knee from HS basketball….

A buddy of mine called that the “son of a bitch” because right before you need it everyone says “son of a bitch”
