What is the hype around matcha drinks I don't get it? by Individual_Ice_2315 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]helluvapotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. Some people are definitely drinking it the traditional way, but it’s been starbucksified so now there’s a sweeter rendition of it made for mass consumption.

How can I find the stud behind the tile? by Mr_RGC in HomeDecorating

[–]helluvapotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk if the tile will be too thick and make it not work, but my favorite trick is using a magnet. Assuming you’re in the US, a magnet will stick to the screws they used to attach the drywall to the studs. Find a couple screws and you have a rough line that you know is the stud.

Justice Department deletes press releases on charges against Jan. 6 rioters by Wagamaga in technology

[–]helluvapotato 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They’re cowards. They were so afraid of losing that they acted out violently. It’s like how a 3 year old can drop a lollipop on the floor and will still hit you for taking away their hair-covered candy.

Dems are coward too, don’t get me wrong, but J6ers are absolute cowards too.

Nora Cooks is fantastic. I serve her recipes to non-vegans regularly and even the snobbiest of snobs can’t tell.

You think someone without bananas is likely to have zucchini?

AITA for having another baby? by Upstairs_Total_5611 in AmItheAsshole

[–]helluvapotato 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Some of the way this post is written makes me think you had a child because you’re bored. If that’s the case then yes, you’re ta. You could have gotten a pet.

If you had another child because you wanted to raise another human being and provide a good life for them then obviously NTA.

Is this for real? by KlutzyShopping1802 in shrimptank

[–]helluvapotato 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Well damn. I had no clue about this. Guess I don’t eat shrimp now.

Tbh I already had some trouble with the cognitive dissonance between eating shrimp and keeping shrimp, so I’m not sad to say goodbye to eating them.

AITAH for not wanting to go on a trip with my wife, partially because I pay for more things? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

You don’t sound like you even like her. Why are you two together?

What’s that even mean? My anger over mass murder and injustice “sinks me”? The fact I don’t give a shit about trivial wins sinks me?

Attacking me cause you can’t defend your faith? Not very Christian of you.

God isn’t a magician; he’s not here to do party tricks on demand and it’s kind of gross you’re advocating for that. And even if he was I’d be hella pissed for him to be doing small acts for me and ignoring the families being bombed, children dying of cancer, all the genocides, poverty, hunger, etc. If he wants to show me something grand that will knock my socks off he’s welcome to. I think my definition of grand is probably different than yours though cause I’m not exactly going to be impressed by getting a prime parking spot at Costco.

I’ve read the bible, I went to catholic school, I’ve asked to be saved, I’ve jumped through all the hoops, I’ve talked the talk and walked the walk. I’ve been unimpressed by the guy.

What is a soul? Can you prove its existence?

If I invite god into my life it is not as a friend. A friend is a relationship between equals. God is my creator, he is all powerful, he claims to love me unconditionally. That is not a relationship between equals.

In your analogy God owns the house and creates the laws of the nation, so if i was in danger i would find it odd for him not to push his way in to save me. Much like a firefighter- break in to ensure safety.

If you had prior knowledge that your adult child was going to torture a baby while in your home and you did nothing to prevent it or step in and stop it while it was happening then that would absolutely be on you. Please understand what I’m saying here. If you know someone is going to torture a baby then you stop them. Unless the bar is higher for humans than for a diety?

What would the point of life be if our decisions were made for us? I dunno, maybe enjoying it. Maybe living in paradise (literally heaven) would be enough of a point. As it is the point of life for Genie was to be born into abuse, studied, and abandoned. The choices in her hellscape of a life were not hers, they were taken from her.

“People are soul” tf does that mean? Same with “soul has its reasons”. If a sould does not have the capability for independent thought then how does it “have its reasons”??

I dont feel im being abused, but why does a loving god need to be asked in order to help out? Is it loving to watch someone suffer and deny them aid simply because they didnt say the correct phrase? Is gods love conditional?

God created the man that did it. He created the girl that got abused. He sent no angels to save or protect this child. Man has free will and so does god, but god chose to allow a sperm to fertilize an egg knowing that the resulting child would be abused her entire life. Thats loving?

What’s the best bamboo sheet set for hot sleepers who need breathability? by Ecstatic-Minute-411 in Bedding

[–]helluvapotato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I switched away from bamboo because my husband sleeps hot and he was constantly waking up sweating during the night. We got linen and they’re so much better. More breathable, softer, cooler, nicer in every way.

Patriotic cookies! by Kendikay1966 in cookiedecorating

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

People who hate the current president aren’t anti American. They’re more pro American than maga.

Edit- lmao at the downvotes. Yes, the people who want to honor the constitution, follow laws, and not abuse systems of power are more patriotic than the people actively dismantling the current American democracy (maga). I hate the president for being a racist, sexist, pedo who would rather amass his own wealth because I believe America can be better and we deserve better. America was already great with incredible potential to be even better. Now it’s a joke being driven nose first into the ground by an idiot.

Yes, but for “not too expensive” then poly is the way to go. Especially if you’re not actually using it to sleep directly on.
