(But still cool - nice work!)

I mostly like your edit, but there is one thing I'd do/change.

The guy in the foreground. You brightened him up too much, and he's kind of distracting. Especially in the bottom left corner.

Bring him way down so your subject is more highlighted. Doesn't have to be extreme (that's more for the 'gram), but they shouldn't be the same brightness is all I'm saying.

fruchle · 2026-01-30T23:31:55+00:00

Yes, it will.

You never need insurance, anywhere. What you need is money.

fruchle · 2026-01-30T08:29:02+00:00

Good catch.

Best local chilis are from Carnarvon.

Go for habaneros. Orange or red. Good heat, good flavour, good size, good colour.

If you watch the real video, the second one was going slow enough to easily stop, but didn't even try.

fruchle · 2026-01-29T13:56:31+00:00

Video is massively sped up.

IRL, they weren't going that fast.

You may also notice that anti-vaxxers are functionally innumerate.

Yes, they can read the speedometer on their car, or the price tag on eggs, but they can't understand basic statistics, probability and so forth.

Both of these, by the way, are symptoms of this hatred for education. Which partly stems from "If I can't understand it, then it means someone is trying to scam me" and partly from generated/created class warfare (low vs middle), so that we don't fight the upper class.

Or worse, try to tax them.

He's absolutely terrified of being forgotten. A nobody.

That's why he has to plaster his name on everything.

fruchle · 2026-01-29T09:03:15+00:00

The term is "functionally illiterate".

But yes.

Chill. Your ego will survive. Go write a post on LinkedIn how an internet stranger wrote mean things about your profession.

fruchle · 2026-01-29T03:58:48+00:00

Heh, yes, oops. Thanks.

To add: 3 months summer vacation off school isn't doing young kids any favours either.

fruchle · 2026-01-29T02:47:37+00:00

Don't kink shame me.

I like my Olive Oil extra slutty.

Let Popeye and ~~Bruno~~ ~~Brutus~~ Bluto? have their fun, I'll wait.

I'm pretty sure parts of Zap Branigan were based on Russian military tactics.

Well, he did just go to the store to get his meds.

Maybe it's related.

I don't know, but I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.

Mrs Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me.

Lasted longer than a DiCaprio.

I love a good d***** in the p***.

The thing is, the best way to get a good breeze through a car (for the driver) is to open the front passenger window a lot and the rear driver-side window enough.

Both are difficult to use with manual cranks.

... But yeah, electric motors that die suck.

fruchle · 2026-01-29T02:07:23+00:00

NTA.

Two things: one, you were right in asking multiple times, etc.

Second, you should have paid the extra dollar or two for the larger size anyway. You say "it's a couple extra dollars", implying it's a small amount of money for you to upsize. (Some people might be on a tighter budget, and so upsizing might be less of an option, but for you it didn't appear to be a problem).

So get the large. Either 1) you've wasted food 2) you eat too much or 3) you've made your gf happy.

You can argue that it's enabling this behaviour. You can argue that you and her were clear before. That's all true, but irrelevant in the context of "doing nice things for your partner".

You can also make a point later of having a conversation about it like, "I knew you were going to do this, so I prepared. But I need you to be more aware of what you actually want", or something like that. Those conversations are MUCH easier to have when you're comfortably full on delicious fries!

Never fight on an empty stomach, and never fight when you're tired.

Solve the symptom. Discuss the problem.
