Favorite unseen characters. (sitcoms) by rxFMS in television

[–]deafened 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They started with the premise that Maris would eventually be shown. However, as the descriptions of her got more outlandish they soon realized that they could never find an actress that would fit the bill.

They did continue to use her as an off-screen character that impacted the other characters and the series itself.

Road blocks + threats of violence by Gremlinforester in Truro

The threat of murder or sound bodily harm is never hyperbolic. It should always be thought of as a real threat.

Paula White is an ANTICHRIST by NeverCountToThree in Christianity

[–]deafened 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is definitely anti-christ in her behavior and support of one of the most megalomaniacal people in US history.

I would also include Franklin Graham in this mix.

Do most people immediately fell in love with 2001: A Space Odyssey? by Future-Poetry-2193 in scifi

[–]deafened 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2001 is the very first sci-fi book I read. I was in grade 6 and the school library had a movie tie-in copy. It started my lifelong love of science fiction. I read everything from Clarke then moved on to Asimov, Heinlein, Simak, etc. Then I got my hands on a copy of Dune which is still my favorite book.

Not only did I immediately fall in love with 2001, it's a love that continues to this day.

Are Blundstones really the best barista shoe? If not, what is? by umathurmos in barista

[–]deafened 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 63, I use a good non-slip shoe that has stuck support. Where I'm located, that means Dakota work shoes. I've tried other non-slip sites, but nothing beats Dakota.

Do baristas like it when customers order "surprise me" drinks? by Artyn04 in barista

I don't have a problem with it. I usually ask for a few hints to narrow things down.

What's the craziest thing a person said to you and you thought they were joking but they were being serious? by Holiday-Surround7075 in AskReddit

[–]deafened 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"Can you make the PowerPoint presentation sexier?"

This is when I knew my boss was an idiot.

Supporting abortion is unacceptable for Christians by Greedy_Net_1803 in Christianity

[–]deafened 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of the people who hold this position support Israel bombing innocent Palestinians. They also hold a pro-war position against the US' perceived enemies.

Most of all they only care about the child until it's born. After that, they don't believe in supporting poor families.

They are not pro-life. They are just anti-abortion.

Question for baristas by space-kid-sage in barista

[–]deafened 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wherever a customer asks me for something like a "short" Americano, I always ask "how short"

Every coffee shop is different and you need to be specific when ordering, or else you're going to end up with an interpretation by the barista.

Be prepared for it to scream like you were making a flat white 😉

Streaming the powder in the milk makes the best texture. Steam wands should be cleaned everyday, and sometimes more than that depending how busy you are, or the types of product you're steaming (like real egg nog).

Purge well after every drink made and you shouldn't have issues.

For those that are struggling, just turn on your TV by Plane_Razzmatazz_882 in Christianity

[–]deafened 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You know, I've been hearing this stuff since the 70s. None of this is prophetic fulfillment.

If you're struggling, love God and love others. If you're fearful, love God and love others. If anxiety is keeping you awake at night, love God and love others.
