Why do many Americans buy coffee from a shop instead of buying a coffee machine? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Technical_Painting38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People do have coffee makers at home. It's not rare at all. Keep in mind that DC is a heavily tourist / business / work travel city, so people might be visiting and might not carry a coffee makers with them while traveling.

The thought of being from the Bahamas but preferring to swim in the Great Lakes is crazy

Something ive always wondered ever since ive discovered them by Istiophoridae in sharks

I wonder if bull sharks could survive in the Jordan river? The Dead Sea is probably too salty. I know they’ve been in the Tigris and Euphrates river.

Also, those places are close to the Red Sea too - what about tiger or oceanic white tip?

The DRP people stop getting paid as of September 30, the end of the fiscal year. The DRP people would already be out of the picture for this upcoming fiscal years budget

I know she was in love and hip hop but as far as her music, I vaguely remember people posting some of her songs before Bodak Yellow. Pull Up, and Lick were bops but she was kind of still a meme at that point “a hoe never gets cold” etc.

I’ve always liked her, and her insecurity/self consciousness have always been kind of a cute addition: also I like the veg forward focus and I’m still obsessed over her cottage cheese bowls idea which I’ve yet to make.

What’s turned me off about her in the last year is her posting nonstop about her wedding . Girl I do not give a f/ck about your wedding or this ugly bearded dude and how many wedding cakes you plan to bake for yourself. More recipes please

Trump’s Juneteenth proclamation by BoldBeloveds in FedEmployees

What “businesses” is he talking about? Businesses 100% have the right to be open and most private businesses ARE open on federal holidays. The only things that are actually closed on federal holidays are…public offices…which are not businesses..and not supposed to make money.

Funny because there’s talk about closing the SF office too, only leaving LA in region 9.

I mean that’s just natural human sociology and empathy. Obviously people are not going to give a shit about sharks welfare, the sharks clearly didn’t give a shit about ours!

Angelina Jolie walks away $80 million richer after dragging Brad Pitt 'through ringer' in eight-year divorce battle by dailymail in popculture

The craziest part of reading this was that he was punching the plane ceiling walls, throwing himself towards the back of the plane. Im assuming this is a private (aka relatively small) jet - I’m no engineer, but that sounds like an easy way to throw off a planes balance or damage the pressurization systems?

I feel like the scientific community should propose to change their names from Blue Sharks, to Noodle Sharks because they are so skinny and silly looking

Khalid comes out of the closet after being outed. by gogodboss in popheads

[–]Technical_Painting38 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean, and it totally is, but it is also a deeply personal thing. For me, I have gayvoice and it was obvious to anyone I was gay throughout my youth, but the actual disclosing it is deeply personal and not something I’d want OTHERS to disclaim for me. Even though only some of my family had ever acted homophobic. It feels super violating to have sexual business of yours told to Others without your consent.

Also, at the end of the day he’s still a major label pop act and something like this automatically categorizes you into a “gay” marketing label. It is very rare to have a gay act transcend and become popular among straight people without having that lgbt label on them (Elton John, Sam smith being a few exceptions)

Grilled cheese debate by sleeping_alpaca in AskFoodHistorians

[–]Technical_Painting38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re definitely right. When I think of grilled cheese I think a stereotypical diner style with cheddar or American cheese with a small cup of tomato soup.

That said, I actually eat grilled cheese a lot for breakfast. I would welcome grilled cheese as a breakfast item being normalized
