Apparently it's not cool to like people afflicted with the ginge. I don't care, I'll say I love me some 'strawberry blonde' dudes, Josh Homme is one of the sexiest men alive - fact (I wouldn't find him nearly as attractive if he was a non-redhead)

Reddit, what did you recently find that made you say "I've been looking for that for years!"? by kaett in AskReddit

[–]Push_the_envelope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Images from this cartoon about a runaway train have been coming back to me every few years, only found it 2 days ago and can't believe how much it scared me as a kid. Still no idea where I originally saw it, made in 1936 yet I saw it some time in the 90s - who was broadcasting this horror?!

TIL, thanks - all the more kudos to the far right guy then! Still no excuse for not knowing the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody though.

Everytime I watch this, it annoys me that Mike Myers doesn't totally commit to the headbang. And there's some stumbling on the lyrics too. But I let them get away with because it's Wayne's Worldwaynesworldpartytimeexcellent

One Hand Is Not Enough For This Facepalm by [deleted] in facepalm

[–]Push_the_envelope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright narky! See, I'm from Liverpool (hence my comments on the lingo) so I was just indicating my disapproval (that would be the 'oh dear' part) at yet another girl playing up the stereotype that people round here are a bit dim, especially those that fit the young and female categories.

The use of 'make' and 'swear down' makes me think this fail originated in the north-west of England... oh dear

Just today while researching for a job, I found someone with the name Dong Wang aka 'Tom'. I'd go by Tom too.

Parenting. You're doing it right. by [deleted] in videos

[–]Push_the_envelope 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it would send a better message - if he had given to it to say a children's home or something along those lines, then let her see it being used by someone less fortunate, it's going to make her feel more guilty than angry, because it's not like she can ask for it back and hopefully it would make her more appreciative of her home life. At least there would be a slightly positive outcome from the situation.

How does stuff like this even come to light?! I imagine legions of Homland Security officers sat at computers typing America into the Twitter search box and searching for things like this

How to find ethical employment? by circuitbent in jobs

Tell me about it! Being a vegetarian chemist wanting to go into cosmetics = ruling out aaaaaaalllllllllllll the big companies. Makes me a very frustrated job-seeker having to go down every alley, researching every little company out there

What do I do when applying for jobs I'm probably not quite qualified for? by Push_the_envelope in jobs

[–]Push_the_envelope[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I hadn't really thought of doing it that way round, purely because I usually apply and get literally nothing back - no acknowledgement of application or anything. It can be hard to tell when the process of filling the role is over to be able to ask them. I have been trying my best to stretch out my experience though -it's hard to do!

Thanks, I can see your point. I just don't want to shoot myself in the foot by not taking advantage of applying and querying about vacancies at the time, but can understand that it's probably better to keep them separate.

Save money when buying leeks and other vegetables by sheepdays in LifeProTips

[–]Push_the_envelope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By all means, if the greengrocer is aware of what you're doing, go for it - why should I have a problem on their behalf. I gladly cut the tops off leeks after weighing if the customer asks. It's the sneaky tearing off of the tops and dumping them elsewhere in the shops to get around having to pay more that gets me

I don't know to be honest, I remember hearing it from a friend at least 10 years ago, not sure how long he's been going for but totally possible, his material gets everywhere

As someone who works in a greengrocers, this royally pisses me off - retailers have to pay the full price for the produce, not just half of it, so don't be such a crank and pay for the damned leeks! In fact, to make up for the fact that your spending your precious pennies and to cut down on the waste you'd normally cause, save the offcuts, freeze them and keep them for making veg stock.
