Local news in particular is such poo poo. Don't forget the stories about the kitty rescued from that big tree at the corner of Lancaster and McCormick or the interview with a local woman who, a decade back, honeymooned very near to Mt. Kilauea.

Anyone whose first words when they call you is "it's me", particularly if it's someone you don't have stored in your phone or they are calling a landline. Stop doing that.

Jimmy Kimmel is so deathly afraid of animals. He has a frequent animal expert guest named Dave Salmoni and if any creature that is remotely unusual comes out Kimmel runs behind his desk or whatever. At first I thought it was an act but after seeing this for over 10 years I think he's genuinely a bitch.

Honkers. I deliver pizza and we are asked to count to three before going at a green light to avoid wrecks from people speeding through to beat it. Every few days I have some rear end in a top hat start laying on their horn at the 1-2 second mark. It's always some dick in a jacked up dick replacement truck infuriated at the tiny Fiat daring to get in their way. I swear one of these days I'm going to follow one of those fuckers home, pull out my 3 foot long maglight flashlight/bludgeon, and you'll read about the slaughter in the news. My slaughter. Because they will probably murder me.

I'd honk too. Your 3s count is right about the point where I assume you're not paying attention. Do you have a dash cam or something that your boss would check in the event of an accident or are you worried about traffic cams? Why adhere to corporate rear end covering policy when it's mostly there to cover their own rear end? You drive to and from work successfully I assume, why wouldn't you drive the same with a delivery? It's not like you're toting an organ transplant or something.

I haven’t delivered but I’ve cooked delivery food, and I’d happily pay taxes to give our drivers universal dash cams and even body cams. I’d also happily support a federal law that abolished tipping, it’s kinda bullshit to pass costs onto the customer and it’s extra bullshit how servers can make hella cash on a busy day while cooks get the exact same pay whether they’re standing around at 3 on a tuesday or busting rear end at 10 on a friday

Stairs posted:The words "yummy", "ooey gooey", and "scrummy". gently caress off, you sound like you're speaking toddler language and the sound of it puts me off food... To piggy back this: Any food/recipe that has a value judgement in the name. "Ooey gooey, super awesome, impossible, fun-fun, chocolate cake." "Chocolate cake" works fine for a name. Your recipe comes from the Better Homes and Gardens recipe book and you know it. It's a good recipe and it's just called "Chocolate Cake" in the book.

The bland homogenizing of food blogs has made me kinda sad, I miss the days of like, blogger.com food blogs where even if they were lovely sometimes they all were really, actually written by people who were just trying to put their recipes up. Now every food blog is stupid fairy nonsense about scrumptious yummo no-gluten tofu paella that's best cooked with this [brand] spatula. Everything is an ad now and nothing is personal.

That's why I will go grab a pack of smokes or a trenta frappucino for an insider and not ask for money. It's bullshit I get 4.25 an hour, but even more bullshit that I get tipped when I didn't make poo poo. Inspector 34 posted:I'd honk too. Your 3s count is right about the point where I assume you're not paying attention. As for the honking no, you wouldn't honk if you're normal because the three count is nothing. I do it out of work now too actually because it's really smart. There's a lot of assholes who run lights and I've saved my own rear end using it numerous times. When I say "honk" I don't mean "toot toot" I mean laying down on the horn like it's attached to their life force. Like you do when you're trying to let someone know they're entering certain death.

You don't have to peel out like you're at the indy 500 the millisecond it turns green, but 3 seconds is too long. If I wasn't stopped behind you and was just driving normally up to the light and I had to come to a stop I'd definitely honk. 99% of the time I'll be justified because the person will have their head down looking at their phone, not trying to be safer. It doesn't seem safer anyway unless it's in heavy traffic because you're increasing the risk of getting rear-ended.

I’m just imagining people staring straight, counting slowly to three, then going. Without looking both ways. Because counting till 3 is enough, right? I’ve been driving for 17 years, much of it in the city where everyone blows red lights, but also the suburbs where there’s a lot of drunks, and have never had an even close call cause I LOOK LEFT AND LOOK RIGHT. You don’t just kinda move your eye, you look far down the street, you’ll see the speeding morons in a millisecond. (Obviously you can’t do this if there is obstructed vision, trees or whatever, so that doesn’t count). Granted you probably won’t catch a drunk or a guy running from the police going 100mph but this process takes MAYBE a minute, but more like 30 seconds. And then when I see it’s safe I peel out like it’s the Indy 500. Not really but a peeve is people who touch their gas with a feather once green comes on. Push down more!!!!! It should not take you 5 min to go from 0-30. Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 07:00 on May 17, 2018 |

Counterpoint: I have a recipe for a "decadent Irish coffee chocolate cake" and that adjective is absolutely needed in the title, because holy poo poo that thing is a glorious diet-slaughtering slab of calorie overload. It also at one point has you "beat the mixture like you're working for a dominatrix and get paid per slap", so yeah. KozmoNaut has a new favorite as of 09:37 on May 17, 2018 |

Overheard a few moms the other day. One was talking about how their kid was "finally growing into a girl" and how it was about time because only a few weeks ago "we went shopping and they had all those cute pink Hello Kitty pyjamas and what does she go for, the blue Batman pyjamas for boys". Then they started shipping the 5-6 year old girl and toddler they had with them. "Oh he's always looking at Emily isn't he, always flirting with Emily." Yeah maybe ask Emily sometime how she feels about you making her into a passive object of affection for boys who don't yet have object permanence. so I guess my pet peeve is parents mindlessly propagating traditional gender identities and gender-based social dynamics or maybe I just need to cut way down on my reading the Guardian

That's a bit of a worry I have for when/if I have children. I want them to choose for themselves, if they like trains or dinosaurs or pretty dresses or castles or whatever. But I'm thinking about how much influence other people are going to have, if they're going to unconsciously push "traditional gender roles" on them, or treat them badly for not conforming to them. I guess the only thing I can do is be the best possible inspiration and influence, and hope it works out.

My son never liked dinosaurs; he prefers Hello Kitty. He's almost twelve and the most confident and self-assured person I know. I think it helps if you have supportive family and friends who don't try to snatch your kid's preferred toy away in favor of something more "appropriate".

And yet it's apparently us gays who are the ones forcing our sexuality on people  I was a huge tomboy growing up because I hated having "girly" stuff forced on me and constantly being told that I'd like it all when I was older. Combined with me repressing the fact I was into girls, I grew up really fuckin hating my own gender and didn't get over it until I was like 20. Let your kids like what they want to like. Also, my pet peeve is that I don't have an asbestos mouth and food takes too long to cool down

^^^^ My sister's gay (or possibly bi, but definitely the gay end), and I know she doesn't give a poo poo about traditional gender roles. Also +1 on the asbestos mouth thing. Food that's just too loving hot is my kryptonite. Hirayuki posted:My son never liked dinosaurs; he prefers Hello Kitty. He's almost twelve and the most confident and self-assured person I know.

Luckily I don't think anyone in my family (or my girlfriend's family) would do that. The worst would probably be a slightly too gender-specific birthday present or christmas gift here or there.

Like my mate's wee boy, she called him a flirt one day when he was talking to me and I really hope my visceral disgust showed on my face and that's why she never said it again. She's p good about gender roles normally tho, he got a full kitchen set for Xmas and she did enjoy telling me about all her older relatives reaction to him getting GIRL TOYS. Delicious conservative-catholic tears.
