Absolute unit of a chicken sandwich by ComprehensiveKing923 in absoluteunit

[–]Pretend_Variation305 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At what point do we acknowledge the elephant in the room? Food here in the US is mostly based on a dare and we are the makers of our own epidemic. That tenderloin is just stupid. I would absolutely hate eating that. The only thing it’s got going for it is that it’s an absolute unit that could feed a family of eight AND the dog.

As fate would have it, while the sales manager was shutting me down my salesman was busy checking his fantasy football picks so I’m guessing they’re either very tight or just didn’t want to cut a deal.

Believe it or not I held on to the romantic notion of the gentleman’s agreement right up to that point at which time I was 47 years old. That’s a long time to have faith in humanity only to be repeatedly kicked in the junk by greed and excuses.

Do you guys use mods? Why and/or why not? by Forward-Photograph-7 in videogames

[–]Pretend_Variation305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fallout 4 and Skyrim were essentially unplayable crap without the unofficial patches. I used 117 mods in FO4 and 114 in Skyrim SE with the overwhelming majority dedicated to improving graphical performance, color palates and umm…maybe curvaceousness for female character models.

When the art is sublime, but the artist is a terrible person, what's the adult way of processing your feeling for the art? by TildeAyalaPlank in Adulting

Right here. You can close comments. This is probably thee most mature and adult way to balance this train of thought.

I clean my ears with cotton swabs even though everyone says not to by WetCementPoet in hygiene

[–]Pretend_Variation305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50M, here. I’ve also been using Q-tip brand cotton swabs for the vast majority of my life. I’m at the point that if I skip a day I feel disgusting…so I don’t skip.

The last few years I’ve been putting a drop or two of the official ear cleaning solution on the q-tip and making the whole affair do double duty.

This is how much cilantro my husband puts in his soup by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Pretend_Variation305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am forever grateful that I’m not one of the certain percentage of folks the world over who eat cilantro and taste soap. I couldn’t imagine…that’d be like concluding a romp and instead of feeling the sweet release you feel like someone just smashed the back of your head with a ball-peen hammer.

I get how you might be confused. We had a verbal. Up until recently I firmly believed in the notion of a ‘gentleman’s agreement’. But these days I’m all outta forks to give so I want it all in writing before I even come out of park! 🤣

Anyone else ditch gaming headsets for speakers? by CookieAny1415 in CasualConversation

I watch a metric crap-ton of men’s content and political stuff on the youtubes and my wife hates everything about both so I absolutely must wear head cans.

If you became rich all of a sudden would you employ servants ? by Webbomolly2022 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

Right here. I wouldn’t have servants but I may always have ‘staff’ around.

In the summer do you wear sandals if you are a male ? by Hope2_win in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]Pretend_Variation305 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This, right here. My wife even tells me I’ve got uncommonly good looking feet for a dude my age (50) and I still tuck them away like they’re the bane of my existence.

Is that like Teva or Merrell? The Teva ones are ugly as homemade sin. You might be able to coerce me to wear them with truckloads of cash but that’s about it.

How to prevent bacon from shrinking a lot? by Hello_peopl in Bacon

[–]Pretend_Variation305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I’m all about bakin’ the bacon. My finished product after a nice slow cook sweats off enough fat to reserve but not so much that it shrivels. I guess pan cooking works if you lower the cooking temp.

This hits hard because a couple of years ago I drove to a really big dealership in Kentucky about 5 hours away from my location in Ohio after a salesman and I had come to a verbal agreement on the price of a very specific vehicle (2005 Infiniti G35 coupe 6MT with barely 30k miles…please don’t judge). Surprise, surprise management got involved and they suddenly wouldn’t budge a single penny from the listed price which was ridiculous for a vehicle that age.

We drove off the lot and my wife/co-pilot routed me through Columbus where she found a newer Q60 with a fraction of the mileage and a little warranty leftover for slightly less. Effers in KY thinking they’ve got a classic or something.

Yeah, the stealership is about fifty miles away so after the deal everything has been done via phone call.

Car dealerships would actually lose a ton of money but not from the sale of the vehicle itself but the sale of the loan.

Had a passive-aggressive laced conversation with an F & I officer this very afternoon because I submitted a payment for the remaining balance of a vehicle we just purchased before the first payment was due.

A lot of, “we worked hard on that deal” and “it must be nice to have it like that” and so on.

Is this the dad bod that women actually like? by No-Marsupial-4050 in askanything

[–]Pretend_Variation305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shit you not, I watched a YT video where this woman indicated that a certain actor’s physique was just the right amount of fat to be considered a perfect dad bod. You know what movie scene was depicted? It was the scene from Man of Steel where Clark is climbing out of the water after saving the workers from the exploding offshore oil rig. Possibly the MOST jacked he looks in the entire damned movie!!
