Semperverus

Similarly, people who write “a 100%” to mean “a hundred percent.”

What they actually wrote winds up being “a one hundred percent.” The “one” doesn’t disappear by putting “a” in front of it. If you want to write a hundred, write “a hundred.” It’s what you’re supposed to do for smaller numbers in the English language anyway.

Caffeine doesnt get substance use disorder in the DSM because people would riot if it did. It’s too ingrained in our culture.

This sounds like something an addict would say to cope with the fact that they have a dependency-based addiction to something.

This isnt even a gay thing, this is a social and privacy/personal space issue. Don’t pick stalls that are far apart because “it’s gay,” do it because other people might feel uncomfortable being near other human beings period (might get stabbed or robbed, might get harassed, or might just have extreme social anxiety - the most likely) while their privates are exposed and they’re in the middle of something.

Unless there are huge dividers between each one. Then it doesnt matter as much.

I’m feeling Randy Pitchford out of 10

Im guessing this has to do with Pantone yellow and Cyberpunk 2077?

Ahh yes, the old classic: being in the neutral position between the two extremes.

I have the same problem in real life, but with the left/right crowd. I’ll get called one or the other until people clock me for what I am and then make fun of me by calling me an “enlightened centerist.”

It’s always weird when you trigger a .ml user in particular though, because they become very aggressive or very “principaled” very quickly. A .world user is usually a little more metered, and just regular internet-brand angry, on average.

Then there are those of us who grew up in an era where usernames either didn’t matter or didn’t exist (depending on the platform), so you quickly became conditioned to just not reading their name let alone clicking into their whole account to see who they are. I am guilty of it, but people looking at your profile is creepy.

I know that on Reddit before I left, the only time I ever took a good hard look at someone else’s account is if they said something that made me so unbelievably angry that I had to look at everything else they said to find something to clap back with. By the time I would get partway through their post history, I would realize that I let a random stranger on the internet tilt me and then I’d calm down and feel stupid for a while before going back to my own business.

We are all strangers on the internet. Let’s keep it that way.

I think its not kind to insinuate that i was telling them they were misidentifying themselves when there is a QUESTION MARK in my post.

We mostly use it like a regular coffee machine though, with the cups you can fill yourself. No DRM used here.

Only if you are a coffee snob who spends entirely too much on coffee machines. Its all relative.

Clean your keurig

It may also be my region. Its always been this way for me for at least the last 15 years or so.

Now, those squarepay terminals that suggest 30% tips or similar can eat rocks.

I dont think there is. There are, however, actual instant hot-water dispensers you can install as an extra sink faucet and they are amazing.

We have keurigs now 🤡

(They can dispense plain hot water)

There’s actually a loose set of rules to it. Im not sure where the specific numbers came from, but 22% of the bill as a tip is considered “excellent service”, 18% or so is considered “mid” or “acceptable” service, and anything below that is a sliding scale of how bad you think they did. 0% is either you being rude and/or saying “i dont believe in tips”, but giving a $0.01 tip is basically saying “fuck you, you piece of shit,” (because fishing out a penny or writing it in takes more effort than opting out).

By itself or in short sentences, I default to day-ta, but otherwise I’m exactly the same.

that seemed like a job that literally only existed to give some people a job

That is exactly what it’s for, and it prevents a lot of worse problems just by existing. It significantly reduces crime rates by allowing people who otherwise couldn’t earn income, and provides a way for ex-cons to successfully reintegrate into society and not relapse, as well as providing low/no skill labor. It gives some a sense of purpose - retirees who physically can’t do any other work for example and need something to do.

It is literally there to give people jobs and its a good thing.

Salem’s not at the northern border. You still have the distance of portland to go, or at least driving around it, and even that can take a while.

From border to border, Organic Maps estimates 5 hours and 20 minutes, which does not include traffic.

I did run the calculation from salem to sacramento though, and i was off by about double. Its 16 hours to southern california (ive done the drive), but to sacramento, its only 8. I own that mistake, I don’t travel to california much and mistook the trip I took for the distance i was thinking about.
