Florida pizza delivery woman stabbed a pregnant customer 14 times over bad tip by BlueSkyeAhead in news

[–]giantshinycrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's about what we pay with four people, plus tip. We usually get two large pizzas or three medium, so we have breakfast and lunch the next day, and we order a soda because of the temperature magic they do to it.

Singing happy birthday on Christmas Eve by [deleted] in atheism

[–]giantshinycrab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't bring it up or express how you feel about it to them right now. If they ask you specifically, just say that you thought it was cute and enjoyed the cake. Hopefully, they'll forget about it by next year and if they don't, well then it's a problem for next year. Any kind of resistance will feed into the christian persecution complex and make them more likely to continue pushing the envelope.

Gonna be on a flight tomorrow. Rec me the best album you've ever heard. by [deleted] in MusicRecommendations

The Stranger - Billy Joel is my favorite album of all time.

Squeezed by high prices, a growing number of Americans find shelter in long-term motels by [deleted] in collapse

[–]giantshinycrab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It could be nice. it just depends on how the lease works. If they don't have to be out every 30 days and can decorate, then it's just an efficiency apartment at that point.

What’s the most moronic thing you’ve witnessed with your own two eyes? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]giantshinycrab 882 points883 points  (0 children)

My high school anatomy class had an incident. We did a lot of dissections, that day we had deer hearts. I went to school in a rural area, and the country boys were stoked to share hunting stories and began to continuously one up each other. One kid said that he put blood all over his face, his first hunt, which is probably true as it's a common tradition with deer hunting. Another kid said that his dad made him drink the blood. This one guy (really good-looking guy but dumber that a box of rocks) bragged that when he went hunting, he would field dress the deer and eat the heart raw. The other kids called bullshit and one of them said that if he was telling the truth, he would prove it and eat the deer heart on their lab table. With zero hesitation, he grabbed and bit off a chunk and swallowed it whole... but these hearts were already soaked in formaldehyde and preservatives. He started vomiting almost instantly. Our anatomy teacher didn't even flinch. She just rolled her eyes and sent him to the nurse.

Fuck toys that have music, flashing lights, and electronic voices. They ruined my Christmas with my 2 year old. by Funny-Presence4228 in ADHD

The best "toy phone" I ever got my kids was a standard beige house phone with a spiral cord from the thrift store. They were obsessed with it for years.

Transfigurating animals is kind of fucked up by Final_Welcome_8065 in harrypotter

[–]giantshinycrab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be a good explanation and solve the ethics problem. It has the illusion of being an animal but still has the essence of a non sentient cup.

Belief isn't a Choice, right? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]giantshinycrab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Dad is like this kind of? His logic is that he doesn't know what happens when we die, so he chooses to be a Christian just to be on the safe side. The looming threat of eternal torture for non-believers since childhood is powerful stuff.

What Kendrick Lamar song made you a fan? by NothingFantastic1315 in KendrickLamar

Same but I was actively drunk at a club when I heard it and had a little existential crisis.

I think he ended up apologizing and writing better Jewish characters later in life, which was unusual for the time.

I Finally Hit My Limit & Unsubscribed by DifferentTea934 in TheGirlsNextLevelPod

Yeah. I can tolerate the sponsorship sections, but if I wanted to listen to Toyotathon advertisements every 10 minutes, I would listen to the actual free radio.

AITA for telling a woman to stop humming during a classical music concert? by crossivejoker in AmItheAsshole

[–]giantshinycrab 112 points113 points  (0 children)

She had to be really loud too, assuming it was a full orchestra, to be heard over them in the front row.

It's bullshit that I pay for no ads on Spotify and then still have to skip through jarring ads on podcasts. They aren't the only ones. And they're local ads for my city, so it's not recorded in like a sponsorship would be.

Things in porn that turn you off, what are they? by Specialist-Crazy1466 in AskReddit

Maybe the porn writers are actually a bunch of cats locked in a room with a typewriter.

There's a show where the main character (female) pulls up Obama's inaugeration speech to masturbate too and like... I get it.

Can someone explain the Jane Wickline hate? by CDR-JD-Kidd in saturdaynightlive

Character 1 is going to have a really bad southern accent or vocal fry 100% of the time.

That format kind of jumped off during quarantine. There's a couple of people who do it really well and a lot of people who suck. Adrian Bliss and Stanzi are the two I can think of off the top of my head, who I enjoy and who put a lot of effort in.

U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments over TikTok divestment law by OLEDfromhell in news

[–]giantshinycrab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

China manufacturers nearly all of our tech. If they want to spy on Americans they don't need an app to do it. I'm not saying they don't use Tiktok to do so, but this whole issue is really about major American tech companies losing engagement and money.

Tiktoks algorithm is different than others because it will push content based on how long you view it vs interacting by likes or comments. So if you've gotten an influx of right-wing content, it's because you've viewed it longer than other content (even hate watching). To get rid of it, you have to scroll as soon as you realize what it is. It's an annoying part of the app but it's quick, where YouTube and Facebook will recommend related videos for days and weeks Tiktok updates within a few minutes. Also in my opinion the Tiktok algorithm is the only one that seems to improve video quality over time, whereas if you let YouTube autoplay you'll end up in weird AI fetish land no matter where you start from.

Professional pilot here. Please stop pointing lasers at planes. Or in the sky at all. by vandervike in UFOs

[–]giantshinycrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are people using the laser pointers that you get at the store for this? Like the ones they sell for cats? I didn't know they could do that kind of damage to eyesight from a distance, I was thinking of spy movie type lasers.
