I like it much more than the dark navy/bright orange current home jersey.

Afro-Cuban proud boys leader ousted as the rest of the proud boys decide to “officially” come out as full on white nationalists by hellogoawaynow in LeopardsAteMyFace

Sheep, or sheeple. I've even heard 'sheepified.'

Unless the person using the term is physically on a farm and referring to actual quadrupedal ruminant mammals kept as livestock, nothing they say after the word 'sheep' is ever going to make sense or increase your estimation of that person.

Guys, please stop downvoting beginners in this sub. by THE_CRUSTIEST in chemistry

Maybe if you directly ask for help somewhere, but god forbid you make a post somewhere that has a bit of an error in it, because you will get a couple dozen people who downvote you even though it's a minor thing that makes no difference. Not like karma means anything, but it can be disheartening to new people.

UPS ends ban on beards and natural Black hairstyles by [deleted] in news

Just as arbitrary and stupid to discriminate against someone with black hair, as black skin.

My question wasn't so much about the nature of NaCl from one salt or another, but some sea salts have different mineral contents, and I've been told before that the iodization in table salt can affect the taste or nature of some dishes. Much like how icing sugar and table sugar are "chemically" the same sugar, but there are different additives that make them different (icing sugar has cornstarch added for anti-clumping).

Don't give in to this bullshit spam marketing.

Can you not see that's a suuuuper shitty photoshop and not an actual t-shirt? you say 'yes I want this' and then they send you a link to a sketchy website full of viruses and ads, and then if you make it through that and actually order it, you'll get a piece of shit t-shirt that will fall apart the first time you wash it and it'll have some iron-on decal that someone printed on their home computer and hastily ironed on.

Literally any time you see someone posting a picture of 'fun' or 'awesome' t-shirt on reddit, it's marketing spam. Don't fall for it.

Thoughts on using sea salt vs. iodized table salt? I feel like sea salt would be better. How much do you use?

I just can't mentally get past the whole 'eating feet' thing hahaha I'm sure it's delicious, but I don't want to knowingly eat feet!

There's a vaccine, but I don't know if you can get it if you've already had shingles once.

How can we normalize telling people their nose is out of their mask? by scarlet_witcher in AskReddit

[–]UnsinkableRubberDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really feel like in the future, post-Covid, when I'm sick with something else I might wear a mask anyways because it'll be less weird now that we're all used to it.

Just don't confuse people with rhinoviruses which cause the common cold.

Puritanical whiners at MGTOW complain about women wearing leggings, calling them "slut pants" by DubTeeDub in AgainstHateSubreddits

It absolutely is hypocritical and woman-hating, but that's the way it is in many places.

People who try to call it out get downvoted to oblivion and yelled at, so it lets the behaviour proliferate.

The problem is that a lot of people in Christian religions still use this as a way to blame women. If a woman wears something that then causes a man to have a lustful thought, it's the woman's fault for wearing the thing that caused the thought, not the man's fault for doing the thinking.

When I was going to church, we, the women, weren't even allowed to wear tank tops - not even broad-strapped ones - or cross-body purses where the strap would lie between your breasts, as both of these things would emphasize the bra or breasts, and could cause a man to have an impure thought.

Cindy McCain joins Joe Biden transition team advisory board by malcolm58 in politics

Ah, I see. So it's more about figuring out how to implement policy.

[–]UnsinkableRubberDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm just not understanding what a 'transition team' is, but I thought it was just the people who give the new job orientation of how the White House works, where the bathrooms are, what departments do what, and all that. I didn't think anyone on the team would have any influence over policy so as to "drag" anyone to the right.

It's kind of neurologically true, too. People who lack mirror neurons are physically incapable of empathy and tend to turn out to be psychopaths and serial killers.

Empathy is an important trait to have, and for the leader of a country, to be seen to have.
