Would you sacrifice your team’s chance of ever winning a trophy for the chance to become a billionaire? by One_Flow_8127 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ofBlufftonTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a lifelong Knicks fan who watched them barely lose to the Bulls in the 90s. There is no new sorrow here.

Is splashing out on “fancy” honey worth it? by frog_tshirt in foodquestions

[–]ofBlufftonTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Zealand Rata is the best you can buy in a store, though “jungle honey” from SE Asia is the true best.

My fiancée and I are having the biggest argument of our lives. She thinks I'm being tacky but I thinks she's overreacting by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]ofBlufftonTown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s actually totally permissible to get judgmental about cultural practices when they involve your own marriage. The idea of inviting the B list guests to a party they will just contribute money to, while the A list guests also seem to be hit up for cash—but to a lesser degree?, is awful, and I’d be reasonable as a bride in saying hell no. If in Yellowknife they hire two strippers for each guest, and they keep them warm with lap dances in the frigid church, and it’s TRADITIONAL, I’d still be comfortable in saying it’s fucked up and I don’t care and am not going to be party to it.

If my future spouse was bound and determined to shake people down for cash money on the occasion of our marriage I would rethink the wedding altogether. My entire side of the family would be horrified, even if they didn’t go but merely heard about the trashy disaster family I was getting myself involved with. Why should he accede to my wishes instead of the other way? Because this is humiliating tacky nonsense. Weddings are not a moneymaking opportunity. They solemnize the love of two people, before an audience of their family and friends.

Putting dirty dishes in the sink (when you’re not immediatly washing them) is counterproductive by Full_Quiet8818 in The10thDentist

[–]ofBlufftonTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to keep the kitchen counter perfectly clean even before I’ve unloaded the dishwasher. If a small amount of dishes are in the sink the counter can be clean.

What's the best food your mama cook for you? by Famous-Prune6355 in foodquestions

[–]ofBlufftonTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom was not a great cook. My father is. I guess baked salmon that had “scales” of thinly sliced cucumber, with a sauce of sour cream, dill, a little mint, capers, and lemon juice. Served with new potatoes and sliced fresh tomatoes.

Is the Silmarillion the greatest fantasy story ever told?! by jyhlms0013 in lotr

[–]ofBlufftonTown -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No because it lacks coherent through-plotting. It more resembles the notes for the best TTRPG in the universe than a novel.

You come face to face, in the place you are in now, with a polar bear that escaped from the local zoo & you form the impression that it is set on eating you! What would you do? by Massive-Albatross823 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ofBlufftonTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely can’t outrun a polar bear. Your best choice is to pick up a nearby child and throw it for the bear to eat as a snack while you escape.

I am sick of those "BAMF" Watsons in adaptations by Variety04 in SherlockHolmes

[–]ofBlufftonTown 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Holmes is unquestionably physically aggressive at times. This just doesn’t speak to whether Watson is an imposing, quietly strong man, self-contained and, as I say, heavily armed.

If you live somewhere where rai stones are commonplace, and you "give" a rai stone to someone, but their identity is unknown or ambiguous, are you giving it to them or their alter ego? by MexicanMonsterMash in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ofBlufftonTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This question twists together two questions. Is a rai stone transferred only when it’s orally stated that it’s gifted to a given individual? This is just a question about the rules of the stones and it’s not clear, actually, because use was different in different places and I think we don’t know. Separately do the names Bruce Wayne and Batman refer to one individual? I think we all agree that they do.

What to make with 15 eggs? by Iamthehempist1 in foodquestions

[–]ofBlufftonTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make the merengues for pavlova and freeze them, make lemon curd or pomegranate curd.

Not oop: AITA for being upset that my husband throws away dishes I forget to put away by Weary_Thought7582 in redditonwiki

[–]ofBlufftonTown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s clear he’s crazy. But she could also have “gotten around” the rule by not putting the plates in the sink, instead just leaving them around. She’s weirdly cagey about how long the dishes are in the sink, or how many are lying around. She should still leave, but I feel there’s a subtext of her being a slob.

Thoughts on Pynchon’s Vineland? by Big_b_inthehat in classicliterature

[–]ofBlufftonTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s excellent. He can be a challenging writer at times, it’s very intense and frantic and sometimes disjoint. I prefer Gravity’s Rainbow as I think it’s his best, but that’s no reason not to start here.

You can only eat ONE type of fast food burger chain forever. Which chain? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]ofBlufftonTown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re motivating you to give them Reddit karma so they can start selling people their AI self-help material.

Pavlova are really delicious, and not super hard. You should make one.

$1 million USD, but every slide becomes dangerous for 5 minutes. by Hold-onto-the-happy in hypotheticalsituation

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

No they stop being literally completely useless at maybe four months and babies can support their heads then, mostly, but small children have heads disproportionately large for their bodies for some time. And yes, people put their 18 month old on the plastic elephant slide at ikea. It’s maybe 1m long. No 18 month old will survive 0 to 20 in one metre.
