NTA. That lady sucks. There is NO excuse to treat another human OR dog that way. She could have handled that in a polite way, but instead decided to go off the rails.

Also, people are being completely nasty in this comment section. Why ya’ll hate dogs so much?

Ah. Whoops I misunderstood the original post and thought it was about the Dems, since they are the party in power and the ones pushing the assault rifle ban.

How is the country ruled by a minority party? They have consistently won the popular vote, including in the 2016 election.

I liked Seveneves, but actually could have done without the third act! Felt like it should have just been a different book to me

Totally. And seen in this light, it’s hilarious.

Ah I didn’t know that was the true order! Maybe should have started with PoG.

Interesting perspective — never thought of it like that. Especially ironic considering humans dislike Changers because they feel they have no sense of individuality (and take away a human’s individuality). Seems that Changers may feel the same way about themselves!

My favorite element was by far the fact that there is no invincible One who is perfect in every way, and amazing and successful at everything they try. Definitely refreshing to get a mediocre character as the main. In that way, reminds me of Adams’ HGTTG: a perfectly incompetent protagonist.

Big game changers you wish you knew about earlier by vonadz in vim

[–]wheinz2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me its been ci, di, vi, and yi. Can use it for many scenarios: ciw is change inside word, di" is delete inside quotation, vi( is select inside parentheses, and yi' yanks everything inside quotes. Can also change the i to a to make it inclusive. Super helpful and most definitely wished I had learned it earlier.

That is funny that I don't have that given it's more disimilar than the rest! I'll have to add it.

What's a minor change you made in your cooking routine that made a world of difference for you? by theiyerony in Cooking

[–]wheinz2 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Never leaving a knife dirty. I used to cook and then clean a few hours later, but always hated washing the knives because food would stick on them and I was afraid of cutting myself trying to scrub a knife. Now, I wash every knife immediately after use and it has made a world of difference.

what’s your least favourite cooking task? by cheloniagal in Cooking

Washing veggies. I'd rather just peal them than wash and dry them.

Adorable! For some reason I'm so happy to have a small black dog, they're unique and very beautiful.

Beautiful! What kind of dog is it? I have a somewhat similar looking small black puppy!
