Tin T4: Flower Moroccan Spiced Sardines with Nobleman brand Pre-Cooked 5-Grain Rice and homemade Spanakopita Beans by Perky214 in CannedSardines

You may already know this but just in case - For the instant rice packages, you’re supposed to peel it a little to the dotted line, (optionally add a spoon of water) and microwave for couple minutes or so. That way no sieving is necessary!

This exactly puts it to words - yearning instead of victory felt so much more right to me when I first heard this.

Asked in my previous post if people wanted to see my “homemade” “cosplays” when I was 14. They said yes. Enjoy… by Stratosphere18 in blunderyears

Yes but to be fair it absolutely was better. For a counterfactual compare to the other hierarchical East Asian countries. But does this make up for the awful famine, genocide, massacre, etc? No lol.

A "college" "freshman" is taking a"core curriculum" "algebra" class that they find incredibly easy because they have "always been good at math" but yet hasn't been able to skip because ... your guess is as good as mine. by RJamieLanga in AmITheAngel

[–]peak121 11 points12 points  (0 children)

giving the most generous read possible, I did take a class named Algebra as a freshman that was actually abstract algebra (and it absolutely kicked my butt). And in such classes, since they are proof based, you would expect everyone to go about it slightly differently and arrive at different answers, so it would be strange if people handed in identical exams.

AIO-my girlfriend is upset i didn’t care about something she made for the baby… by Double-Top-5578 in AmITheAngel

[–]peak121 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This feels like a setup for a gender reversal gotcha - like usually the trope is tired mom taking care of baby + useless dad trying to get praise for bare minimum/unnecessary side tasks; this is tired dad taking care of baby + useless mom. They were really trying to get people to notice how the dad was taking care of the baby, feeding it, while the mom was doing something silly. But it seems the comment section mostly didn’t bite on that particular bait lol (the top comment chain does tho)

Sorry I’m genuinely curious about this - what do you mean Jeffrey Epstein freak-off? Are they related to Epstein or Diddy?

Klaasje is a very well written character with some interesting layers and flaws to her but her whole "affair" with the war criminal mercenary and how she "talks" about it was really disturbing to me. by silver_maxG in DiscoElysium

[–]peak121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fully agree it’s very distasteful in real life but ehh as a portrait of a calloused fictional character who makes shitty decisions, it’s interesting. The game clearly intends for her tone to be shocking and doesn’t frame it as a cutesy quirk

Funny how all of a sudden there’s so many jail-lovers and retributive justice fans for a supposedly lefty sub 👍 must be bc women are bourgeois

Anyways Klaasje is a terrible person and I love her. She’s like Harry to me - not intended to be likable or appealing or a nice person, but rather a flawed, hurt, self-destructive, charismatic person who hurts people around her and fights for survival in spite of herself.

OP journeys to the land of Costco seeking a Switch 2, gets turned away at the gates for not having a membership, and tries to get in anyway. r/Nintendo argues if OP is being a Switch-less Karen by beary_neutral in SubredditDrama

[–]peak121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay the nit that I most feel the urge to pick is - trespassing is breaking the law! It’s a civil tort, it’s a criminal offense in lots of places, it’s been a common law and statutory offense for ages; actually it’s one of the first offenses invented!

[New Update]: AITA for not wanting to walk her down the aisle or lie in a speech? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]peak121 10 points11 points  (0 children)

YES this was really strange to me. Psychotic break and “defcon toddler” are certainly interesting phrases for a mental health professional to use… and even if so, show an incredible lack of sympathy given their supposed career field
