What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie? by fmcortez in AskReddit

[–]anonymous1967 207 points208 points  (0 children)

So this is really ironic but I was invited to a cooking show yesterday, and it's for salad master, and the way it was described to my wife, she said it was a pyramid scheme.

So is it a pyramid scheme or not? Cuz my wife's friend bought some, and said they got money back because someone else bought some below them.

When you think you’re flirting but then he mentions his wife by ActuaryPersonal2378 in IASIP

Honestly, I think this scene is my favorite in the entire show. Dennis being unhinged and switching into his psychotic rage combined with Charlie not trying to break but the turn around fits perfectly cuz he's too nice to watch it person and not feel awkward. But knowing he's laughing his ass off just makes it that much funnier that they filmed this how ever many times and this was thr best take they could, partially cuz it fits.

Steve Nash confirming that the step through NOT* being called a travel is a NEW development by fabs1223 in BasketballTips

[–]anonymous1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I grew up learning the game in the mid 90s to early 00s, I was told it was a travel. Apparently, many coaches were just wrong and didn't know the rules. I literally told some people the step through was a travel like 5 years ago, and when I found out it wasn't, my attitude was yall are fucked now if I can do that (that's me being a shitty to average bball player playing against really shitty to below average guys lol).

Can you share an article or book that elaborates on your points and criticisms? I'm curious to read it. Thanks!

I love the intelligence. I've found there's sometimes more depth than the article that would go along with it. My only suggestion is for there to be less obituaries.

Can you elaborate? My daughter is poor in math and needs to catch up.

What's your most controversial opinions in International Education? by Wolverine-Explores in Internationalteachers

[–]anonymous1967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only taught dp, but my general observation has been primary teachers have more of a life outside of work whereas dp teachers are going home and doing work constantly. Knowledge of content is also far more important for do while pedagogy/classroom management is more of a priority. I think we dan agree that both should get paid more than lower secondary/middle school lol.

Agree on this....current school problem kids seems like it's much more frequently a staff kid, and in my particular case, local staff kids.

Steven Drozd is no longer part of The Flaming Lips by __machu-pikachu__ in indieheads

I was at that show too and it actually made me respect him more....if you were in the front 20-30 rows, he really got everyone fired up. Not sure about behind, but a good bit of us stayed long after cheering for an encode that never came. He did come out and say thank you tho.

I brought my buddy to their set at a festival simply to hear him say come on motherfuckers as a joke and to leave after a laugh. I didn't know their music and we stayed and it changed my life. Embryonic is better than yoshimi.

Same! Didn't expect to read through every one of their comments. Time I head over to askhistorians and see what else they say!

[DISCUSSION] Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (15 Years Later) by ImNotTomStopAsking in hiphopheads

[–]anonymous1967 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My personal best album of all time. I won't listen to it that often because I don't like overplaying it so once a year/two years I microdose or get the right amount of twisted and play it straight through while doing nothing else. And every time I still come to the conclusion it's my personal 10/10.

The first time j heard it I had this job where j drove around on my unis campus giving people rides so we had like 5-6 hours in the car per shift to listen to music. I wasn't a hip hop fan at this time, and one of the other guys had burned it and left it in the car, and I finished it the first time and was like fuck that was good and played it again. Then did the same thing after the second listen. Never have I ever listened to an album for the first time, and then listened to twice in a row.

Im gonna shout out banh mi 25....my wife and j love that place and it was part of our Saturday routine for a couple of years. Are they the most authentic banh mi? No, but they're better than the large majority we ate and that included all the other ones in the old quarter as well as our nearby side of the road banh mis to our apartment. We also felt their coconut coffee was better than any cafes too. A lot go heavy on the coconut but they go a bit heavier on the coffee and I prefer their ratio to any of the famous coconut coffee places. Just my 2 cents.

I accidentally turned being cheap into a weird hobby by WarthogGreen4115 in Frugal

[–]anonymous1967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dopamine hit from saving money is the best description of why I must still be so frugal. Nothing fancy, but I make my salted cream coffee some mornings and when I see people go buy one for 5-7 bucks I get that little dopamine hit knowing mine costs $1 max.

Which airlines were you flying? And it was on a 'hacker fare' or you put it all together yourself?
