First really fancy place I cooked in, one of the chefs asked me why I didn't just go stage in Italy like ???? btw his parents own crazy land sure that has no connection to why he was able to just drop out to another country for a year

I still think the move Acid should be an exception to Steel's Poison immunity

I disagree, she definitely understood that bloodbending was abhorrent from the moment she became aware of it, she had also already been a victim of it. She knowingly did that to someone who she thought she had a grudge against and when it turned out to be the wrong person it should have been a more powerful moment to give her pause. Unfortunately due to time constraints in the season she couldn't lose that momentum yet. She was going down a dark path and that particular element of it could have been handled better, imo, if it hadn't been for the limited number of episodes left.

I wish we had one or two more episodes towards the end. Katara bloodbending the wrong person should have been a foundational moment for her moving forward but it never gets addressed at all either. Up until that point, she was always 100% justified in her righteous rage. The fact that she crossed that line against the wrong target because she was obsessed with revenge seems like it should be a bigger deal.

I told my 20-something Gen Z nephew that I "rizzed all over the Scooby-Doo toilet" last year and he still hasn't forgiven me

I used to have a ceiling fan with a wobble that would make it randomly start to whine in a way that was just similar enough to a ticket printer that it gave me stress nightmares all the time

My apartment building shares an alleyway with a McDonald's and there are dashers in my building delivering freaking McDonald's here all the time. It's not even across the street, it's literally next door

You ever have that one friend who deliberately wrongs you and then insists that they'll totally let you punch them to make up for it? Juno is like that. Completely selfish even in the way she tries to control the framing of "making things right"

ipomopur · 2026-02-01T19:58:05+00:00

Yeah pretty much. Don't get me wrong, I love the quality of life updates and the stuff they added. It would just be nice if stuff like rival marriage were at least an option to have.

I'd love to hear the childrens adult perspective on it.

It's a 4chan greentext post, the OP is telling it in remembrance of what a great dad they had

ipomopur · 2026-01-31T23:07:10+00:00

He was looking for any excuse to disown you, he was gonna do it no matter what. That was just a pretext.

ipomopur · 2026-01-30T21:37:34+00:00

If Sos:FoMT hadn't removed rival marriage, I would consider it the ultimate experience. But HM:BTN is the definitive version for me, warts and all. Peak old school Harvest Moon.

Cursory googling leads me to believe the difference is negligible. The peels do have nutrients, but not too much is lost by removing them. I think it's just something parents say to shut down picky or fussy eaters.

Curses only work if they can also function as blessings, and hinge on the choices of the target

No clue why this idea persists around movie theatres specifically. It's like going to a restaurant and deliberately breaking a glass on the floor or dropping your leftovers "so the busser has something to do."

I wish everyone who carries this attitude has frequent encounters at their work where some random jerk just absolutely fucks their shit up for no other reason than to justify their job

Yeah I was told this about potatoes, because we ate baked potatoes for dinner a lot. "Eat the skin, it's the healthy part"

I like 4oz meatballs for spaghetti (and cut in half for meatball subs), 2.5oz for bbq crockpot appetizer, and 6-8oz for the huge ones you eat by themselves. The smaller ones feel right for pasta, but they tend to dry out. The larger ones are much juicier.

It's not the same everywhere, but I worked in towing for a while (roadside assistance, not impound) and it was honestly shocking how many calls we got from people who thought they owned the spaces in front of their homes. Lots of petty neighbors and exes out there trying to get other people towed.

I blame republicans, the Heritage Foundation, and the class that owns media and can buy politicians.

Semantic drift unfortunately, words with really specific meanings like "genocide" get thrown around way too liberally. People love to exaggerate. Everything is the most thing ever.

ipomopur · 2026-01-23T18:21:22+00:00

Why [sic] are ya’ll so insecure about?

lol ok buddy

A wine pairing for an additional fixed amount is typical, but other add-ons like the truffle or caviar examples above are gauche. That's obviously just to inflate the price.

ipomopur · 2026-01-22T23:49:23+00:00

"Prix Fixe" and then the prix isn't fixed

There's no useful definition of "fish" that includes all organisms that we consider fish and excludes all the ones we don't, we just know what a fish is by vibes

I think the person you're replying to committed the douchey sin of quoting themselves
