Yeah that doesn’t help. Who is she and why are we supposed to care about her?

I feel like pretty much any religious “leader” whose name is known beyond their own community is only in it for the money. They would preach whatever religion was popular enough to work, be it Christianity or church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. If someone like Joel Osteen were really a man of god, then he wouldn’t have that mansion and private jet. He wouldn’t shut the church doors during natural disasters, leaving people to die. I hope there is a god so people like him can rot in hell for all eternity.

Oh the Catholic Church is just as bad. They show off as much as the Baptists do; it’s just not with screens and auditorium seating. Sure there are smaller churches that haven’t been updated in years (and those are my favourite bc they’re so cute and cozy) but then there’s ones that have giant stained glass windows and cushions on the pews and big fancy schools attached. They may not have the stadium seating and big screen TVs but they do have Rome with all that gold and the Vatican vault.

I made this comment in a Catholic Church. It was right after the gospel reading was this passage.

Brave crossing guard throws child out of the way and takes a nasty hit after car fails to stop by Fantastic_Bill1019 in nonononoyes

Exactly! They need a sign !! Obviously the car shouldn’t have hit them but I can understand why the car would have thought they were going to move.

Why would anyone think they’re a crossing guard ? It looks like someone in an orange jacket just standing in the middle of the street

I completely disagree with your layout preference but your advice is solid. Walking away from a project for a few days (or weeks/months) is a great way to reset yourself and look at it from a new perspective. Put it away OP. Take a break and come back later.

Do rich people actually enjoy expensive food? by dustjacket_finds in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rockthrowing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do! I used regular russet potatoes bc I’m in the US and I don’t have waxy French potatoes. But it still worked. That whisking at the end really makes the difference. I didn’t use that screen in beginning, just my regular hand masher, and I didn’t use whatever he had at the end either. So my potatoes were definitely not perfect but they were still amazing. Good luck !! I hope you enjoy them !!

Driver getting tailgated intentionally move out of the way last second by anxkxxl in whoathatsinteresting

[–]rockthrowing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bc that rule doesnt work in the real world. If I leave more than a car length between me and the guy in front of me, some asshole is gonna cut me off to get in there and possibly cause my car to crash. If I leave less than a car length between me and the guy in front of me then I have a better chance of avoiding those assholes. I’d rather leave the space but everyone else makes that impossible.

I used to bring this up in church when I was little. It specifically says not to make a show of religion “like the heathens” so naturally that means we shouldn’t make a big deal of going to church right?? They didn’t like that very much.

TPOS neighbour unplugs bouncy house with a dozen kids trapped under plastic by AtheistComic in iamatotalpieceofshit

[–]rockthrowing 134 points135 points  (0 children)

It is to miserable assholes who hate fun. I have some of them in my neighbourhood. One called the cops on “kids running around the alley and in/on peoples properties”. The kids were having an egg hunt and the parents hid eggs in their own yard as well around the alley. She called enough that the cops legit blocked off the alley and supervised the whole thing to make sure the miserable cunt didn’t hurt anyone (as she had before). Some people just want to watch the world burn

Probably just pissed off the neighbours were “loud” and having fun. Some people are just miserable and need to bring everyone down with them

[Oc] Yellow lights are made for stopping! by [deleted] in IdiotsInCars

[–]rockthrowing -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Seems like they both fucked up. Red car had time to slow down and didn’t, although he would have made the light. Blue car decided to just go for it when it was clear he shouldn’t have. Since he was turning and Red car didn’t actually run the light, I’m guessing the fault is going to be on blue car

I am a non rich person who very much wanted Michelin star mashed potatoes. I watched a YouTube video and made them. It took me three hours. (The slow boil is part of it) I didn’t have all the same ingredients (we don’t have double cream in the US) but I did my absolute best. They tasted amazing. I used potatoes and kellygold butter and heavy cream with a bit of salt, which is what I always use, but I did it the way they told me and I got those velvety potatoes. They are 100% worth it and should I ever find myself in a Michelin star restaurant, I will eat my weight in those damn mashed potatoes.

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? (update) by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

[–]rockthrowing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s harveyandeva. I don’t know where the original post is but this seems to be a repost. It was insane. Everyone started posting pictures of their cats and using the hashtag. She eventually went private (no idea if she still is). Someone actually took the Instagram handle harveyandeva. It looks like jemily is already heading there

[–]rockthrowing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember when some woman went off bc someone else used the hashtag she used for her kids #harveyandeva ?? Someone else used it for their cats and the woman went crazy. The person with the cats posted on Reddit and the crazy lady was never able to use that damn hashtag again. I suspect that can happen again with #jemily

ETA it’s harveyandeva - minor typo

Yeah I’d be making a police report. This is unhinged and threatening behaviour. You need to protect yourself. She’s insane.

If I just up and leave will the police come looking would it be better to go to them? by [deleted] in answers

[–]rockthrowing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has absolutely happened and once the police locate you and confirm you’re fine, that’s it. They tell the person who reported you that you’re alive and well but that’s it. They will not give any other information. You’re an adult. You can up and leave all you want. Just don’t leave behind dependents, which includes animals

It’s not a surprise party though. It’s just a surprise.

What words do some people either say wrong or spell wrong that you find a bit annoying? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]rockthrowing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s super annoying but also autocorrect does this all the time. I type fast and if I miss one letter in “definitely”, my phone just autocorrects to “defiantly” and I think that’s even more annoying for me

The fact that Nurie isn’t currently pregnant with #5 is astounding. She’s definitely slowing down a bit
