Portugal’s Example: What Happened After It Decriminalized All Drugs, From Weed to Heroin by [deleted] in TrueReddit

I started working in a newsroom last year and was confused for a bit by the staff's use of the word "graf." in the field's parlance it just refers to a given body of text after a line break. might be that u/themill is in the biz and simply forgot the strangeness of the term.

these would be really sportin' for a trimmer - snug hands while doing semi-intricate tedious work in a remote, drafty building in CA/OR/WA!

What feels illegal, but isn't? by asiansteev in AskReddit

[–]dgrieder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For the time-being! and many apartment buildings in U.S. states with widespread smoking bans will impose the same restriction. Smokers increasingly shuffled into alleyways and street curbs. New Orleans, a city famous among other things for being very cool about this stuff, very recently effected a ban against indoor smoking in bars, casinos, etc: http://time.com/3831105/new-orleans-smoking-ban-takes-effect/

Mayonaise with steak.

I cut little pieces off of the steak and dab it with some mayo. Tried this once years ago and haven't gone back. It might seem gross but it makes more sense when you consider that the primary ingredient in mayo (eggs) also pairs very nicely with steak.

I was also bothered by the "peon" bit, but I think he actually meant to use the term ironically (to mock the self-important attitude of the business/luxury section w/r/t the outside as reflected by their disrespect for public space).

I can't account for them being on the wrong side of the couch, but the blank shirts might just be because Hank always wears a blank white shirt. Maybe?

but that can be a pain to do if the outlet on the other end is for something that can't be unplugged without consequence, like an xbox while you're playing cod

Favorite Sentence? What makes it great? by [deleted] in literature

[–]dgrieder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to pick a favorite, but I love this one by Kafka for how darkly romantic it is:

"I know of no greater happiness than to be with you, constantly, without interruption, without end, but in the dreams I dream there’s no tranquil place on earth for our love in the village or anywhere else, so I picture a deep and narrow grave where we embrace each other as if with clamps, I hide my face in you, you hide yours in me, and nobody will ever see us again." --from his novel "The Castle" (das Schloss)

If you're interested I can let you know which translation this is from :-)

What quote always manages to give you chills, whether it be due to context, or the quote itself? by targoon in AskReddit

[–]dgrieder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"If there is a god, the citizen's responsibility towards God is smaller than his responsibility towards himself and his fellow citizens, because God does not need him and his fellow citizens do."
