If the Predators thought it was an honor, why kidnap them? Surely they would come willingly?

I just feel like if they were acting honorably, they would have invited the victors instead of kidnapping them via what I assume was a cowardly ambush (based off the fact they have no memory of it), and freezing them until their loved ones were dead.

I watched the animated Predator movie the other day, and was miffed that

I’ve never put chicken stock in a rice cooker, but I kind of need to know.

I did steam some nachos in there one time. They came out perfect. When I excitedly told a few friends, they all universally gave me concerned looks. I decided to retire the recipe while I still had people around me who weren’t ashamed to be near me.

Reminds me of the story of the girl who worked at subway, and she would greet everyone with huge smiles except for That One Rude Guy, who got a completely neutral expression and no chat. After a few weeks of noticing his effect on her, he apologized profusely and promised to change his attitude.

When I was a teenager, I watched this hacking 101 show made by that Kevin guy from Tech TV and hosted on his own site. The first episode was about social engineering, no computers involved.

He demonstrated how to get free pizza. First, he awkwardly followed a family in and stood nearby as they ordered, then left with them after hearing what they got. Next he called in and was like “This sausage on the pizza we just ordered is too hard, might chip my teeth. Make me a new one.” Went in and grabbed the free pizza, then strutted out like dark spider-man.

I thought this was so smart. Told everyone who would listen to me about it. This was important! The world was my oyster.

Thought about it again a few years later “Wait, everyone knows you can get free food by being a dick to employees. Hell, the manager who gave it to him probably knew he was lying and thought making a pizza was less hassle than dealing with it. The reason not to do it all the time is because humans usually* have some sense of shame.”

*I say usually because some people simply don’t have any shame at all. I once invited someone from work out to lunch with me and my friends, and they left one small slice of pizza uneaten, asked for a box, and when it came they put their thick ass restaurant plate inside and stole it. While all of us stared on in horrified fascination.

I was at a BBQ place the other day and the most expensive thing on their menu was pork ribs + two sides for $23. Waiter was all excited “On Wednesdays we have beef ribs, you have to try it!” Tried it and was pretty good. Get the bill and it was $70 not including the sides, total was $95 before tip. At no point was the price disclosed to me before ordering.

Maybe if I had Kratos’ grit I would have just walked out.

I’ve heard people say Taco Bell is so greasy it gives them the shits, but I just don’t think that’s objectively true. You open up the classic bean burrito or taco and if anything it’s too dry, you need the sauce just to level it out. I’ve never actually known someone to have bathroom issues after taco bell. Real life experience just doesn’t agree with the joke.

I heard someone posit that people who say that are reacting to beans because they don’t normally get much fiber and their body can’t handle the sudden influx.

That said, taco bell isn’t good for the most part.

I don’t think I’ve ever hyperfixated on a hobby that hard before. He’s out there every day digging up at least one skeleton.

Tried cold brew concentrate once. Thought it was normal concentration tea, and my coffee hating self was in for a hefty swig of regret.

I’m also hung up on “Crypto is UBI”. Surely this is a one off crackpot quote and not a thing, right?

I guess a Bris fits under “any excuse to party”.

My family was always open to anyone to visit as much as they wanted so my friends came over 95% of the time. Like the third time I visited one friend’s house his mom came in, looked at me, and gave a long sigh before saying “Again?”. She also made him stop what we were doing and immediately shampoo the carpet which his did nearly every day, I assume to get the smell of weed out.

Most families I’ve witnessed were dysfunctional, but I didn’t notice until my twenties.

Looks like an Onion photo.

I regret not causing at scene at the last few jobs I left. I even gave two weeks notice? Lame. Wish I was more like my idol.

I go in between the buttons to cut them into 1 button tall max slices.

No joke last week I made 48 deviled eggs for a dinner party and as I was piping the filling I got a text rescheduling the event, leaving me with 48 deviled eggs and no one to help eat them.

It was a dangerous time for me.

Unless you are wearing a hi vis vest, I hear. Then they let you walk right on by.

RIP 😭

There’s a soda machine in seattle on the sidewalk of some random street not near any store, that someone stocks with random cans of whatever. Stuff I would have bet money doesn’t exist, sometimes. Never heard anyone mention it, but when I brought it up they were like “oh yeah that haunted vending machine.”
