Idk man, I’m with you on the meme but regarding the finger I think I’m on your sister’s side. If some time had passed, I’d probably ask but especially if I was the on site person, I don’t think that would be on my mind.

Love that, I do the same. If you want to spread a bit of cheer though, I also tag good behaviour or people that sound like they could use cheering up so I can remember to say something nice next time I see them.

I would still use illiterate in that case, and would argue that is the correct term at least according to Merriam Webster:

a : violating approved patterns of speaking or writing
b : showing or marked by a lack of familiarity with language and literature

Or even just at its most basic:

having little or no education

TIL, thanks!

I was thinking specifically the dual flush ones, where you can choose the amount of water used. I’ve only seen those in the last 15 years or so but maybe they’re older than I thought.

I read this as “irrelevant statiscially” and, yeah :(

Flash freezing individual fish feels a bit different than taking out that (presumably thawed) fish, using it to make sushi rolls, and then refreezing it.

Edit: My perception was obscured by disgust and I didn’t realize these are California rolls and don’t have fish, but the point stands. Frozen rice and frozen avocado are fucking gnarly. Frozen avocado especially is a sin.

I was already upset at the frozen sushi but you just had to go and make this microwave sushi comment. I think I’m done for the night.

Wasn’t there a black mirror episode or something like this

I always thought the sink plunger was for toilet and the toilet plunger was just a fancier plunger.

Looks to me like the “shelf” is a curtain rail on closer inspection, but why is it floating and what kind of interior designer has a random ass colour element like that

I think this is because dual flush is more modern, so newer built buildings or ones that are often renovated like businesses or airports would have them. I’ve seen the dual flush top button on new residential builds because it wastes less water and therefore more economical.

Omg thank you for the explanation I was real worried there for a second

It remembers its original position?

I remember going to one of his rallies when I was like 6 or 7 with my parents and remember it was a huge deal when he became president, people seemed happy about it. I’m curious to ask my parents now what it was.

Dude sounds scummy AF from that wiki page though.

For real. I am Mexican and was a child through his presidency and I had no idea he was a CEO of coca cola lmao.

Mr Kellam said: “They saw Johnson with the bag of potatoes and in women’s clothing. [He was wearing a bra over his shirt]

“It may be this that led officers to believe that he was intoxicated.”

Oh wow, that’s fucking crazy that it took til 2020 to get that protection.

Thanks!

lgbtq people received the right to hold a job (2020)

Sorry, I’m not from the US can you explain what you mean by this? LGBTQ+ people have legally had jobs in the US for longer than that…

If I’m understanding what you’re trying to ask, yes, there are a lot of people with indigenous heritage especially in California/texas/etc (places that until the Mexican-American war belonged to mexico) and they’re now considered Latino (which I think is what you mean by “Hispanic”.

It should be noted that not all Latin American people are Hispanic (e.g. some speak portuguese), yet many share similar cultures and looks because they are all descendents of indigenous peoples that were colonized.

It’s happening in the US to Native Americans that they’ll be confused for “illegal aliens”(I hate this term but it’s what they call them) and they’ll have their American identity questioned, simply because they look like Mexicans or other Latin American people because, like I said, we’ve all descended from the indigenous peoples of this continent.

Just as an FYI, many Latin American folks don’t like to be referred to as Hispanic because a) not all are, and b) that is the name of the people that conquered us.
