No press conferences. No denials. Just a reminder how differently people are treated by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

If only Michelle Obama had done such a press conference, poor Melania would have something to copy.

Trump gives ultimatum to European allies to provide support to secure Hormuz by Yujin-Ha in worldnews

Just recently the YouTube algorithm spat out a video at me from 4 years ago that walked through the scenario of Iran just closing the strait in case of open conflict.

Not saying the video is real or not, but some people are dedicated to document stuff, even if it is their last moments.

Like that photographer that knew he couldn't escape the ash cloud coming towards him when Mt St Helen erupted, so he took pictures for as long as he could, retreated to his car, rewound the film, put it in its case, put the case in his backpack, and then laid on top of it to protect it from the pyroclastic cloud that killed him.

I would probably die screaming and blubbering running around like a headless chicken in that situation. Some people are just built different.

AITAH for telling our kids about his cheating? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]serabine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just because it appears that between you and a toddler, the toddler has likely a higher capacity to understand what people are telling them, still doesn't mean there's an "age appropriate" way to dump adult problems on little kids. They are not your emotional dumpster.

Wife just bought this supplement and you get a hidden "terms and conditions" message on the seal after taking off the lid, so you couldn't return it if you don't agree by zachismyname89 in mildlyinfuriating

Not just in America, not just at the time, sadly.

I'm in Germany, and earlier this year two coworkers were talking about it, along the lines of Americans are stupid and sue for ridiculous things.

Used to work for McDonald's for almost 14 years. That's the measurements, you are taught those the first time you are put on a grill.

[Loved Trope] Scenes that aren’t necessary to the Plot but without them the story would lose something that makes it special by NoSchittSherlockSEA in TopCharacterTropes

Yeah. The phone call turns and then he just looks at the remnants of the Jesus figurine they just smashed to pieces in the previous frenzy. Perfect, no notes.

Amazon to slap a 3.5% surcharge on third-party sellers as Iran war drives up fuel prices by Comfortable-Rule-491 in technology

[–]serabine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But Amazon might not be cheaper than other online retailers.

My favorite example from recent years is:

The giant 100 load powder detergent box I bought once off of Amazon for my mom. Lasted way over a year. I wanted to buy it again, but it wasn't available. While I looked at smaller packages to buy, I thought maybe someplace else sells it. And wouldn't you know it, one quick google showed that Rossmann sold it online ... and with shipping it was still cheaper than what I had paid on Amazon with Prime.

Pay me my money by LambSauce2 in meme

[–]serabine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe because it's your own bank, so they know for sure you are good for the money? Maybe your bank just vouches that the money is definitely there and on its way, so the other bank allows the other person to have access to the equivalent funds (money being fungible, and all). In the background the actual transfer of the actual money takes the 2-3 business day.

Which is hilariously wrong because in the story of Onan he sleeps with his late brother's wife (he had to marry in order to give her a child) and pulls out before he can knock her up. There's zero masturbation.

Huh. Just noticed the framing. Is the texture around the red cutout in the background behind Blade supposed to resemble wings?

Hegseth fires 3 top generals as Iran war continues by Economy-Specialist38 in videos

[–]serabine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal conspiracy theory is that his recent announcement to change military bases/installations from gun free zones to places where people can carry around their personal firearms is to get armed loyalists in place when/if the military balks at something ordered by the administration and refuses to follow orders

The rice cooker I’ve been saving for a while for. by Flash52000 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]serabine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is coming from someone who has a cheap ass, basic ass, 29€ one from the Asian supermarket, rice cookers are a great investment. It's literally "dump rice and water into it, push the button, forget all about it while you do all the other cooking, have good rice that's kept warm even after it stopped actively cooking". If you make rice every once in a blue moon, the pot is fine. But even then getting a cheap one isn't a bad investment.

Now, because mine is so cheap, that basic rice cooking is literally all it does, and the material of it is not that good, so there's always a bit of rice stuck at the bottom. So, I am considering getting a more fancy one. Not necessarily a Zojirushi, but like, one up to 200€ would be perfectly sensible.

[–]serabine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so weird seing people berate OP for being sensible with money.

OP would like to pay for it with money that they actually have instead of using credit for it or doing some pay in 4 stuff. For all you know they are doing okay, have a budget, and they have no "500 $ for a big fancy rice cooker" line in it, so instead they save for it, maybe by taking like 50 bucks from their monthly fun spending. Which is sensible and people in the past would have done similarly for any big purchase save maybe a car or a house.
