I drink like that all the time. No need for a bathroom cup you have to wash every couple days, just make a bowl with your hands and drink (as long as your hands are clean).

Most commercial, and even private faucets/sinks are designed in such a way that doing that is impossible; or if it is possible, it is massively uncomfortable and painful. I do it from my tall faucet at home though.

They gutted all the benches from the parks near me where I occasionally would go to read or whatever when the weather's nice, now there's nothing except dog walkers. There were never any homeless people sleeping on them that I saw so I don't know what the deal is. I thought they were maybe upgrading them because the wood on some of them wasn't in great shape, but it has been about 6 months so I don't think new ones are coming.

Any women on tinder (could be any dating website or app) who says "you have to be over 180" in their profile. As a short guy, thanks for making me feel bad about existing.

Just look at Danny Devito for inspiration. He's short, fat, bald and he could plow probably anyone he wanted to. Anyone who uses height as a strict dealbreaker isn't worth your time anyway.

Statistics show that “heightism” is defininitely a thing but the miracle of it is that you can overcome heightism by being even slightly decent. So it’s, uh, completely different from racism or misogyny or any actual bigotry. The last girl I dated before coming out is 5’9”, I’m 5’5”. We’re still bffs. And if your height hurts you can always try dudes. Worked for me

The thing is, that it is much easier to accept that you are not attractive if they meet you in person since then they can take all things into account and if you really are smart and funny then they can hopefully see past that. But you don't really have much to go on with Tinder besides how your face looks, so it just becomes this big barrier instead of just a preference. However, as mentioned those people are probably doing you a favor since they let you know that they are shallow/insecure.

Well I would suggest not using tinder to find an actual relationship based on anything besides physical attractiveness considering that's what almost everyone uses it for. Might I suggest farmersonly.com?

I definitely get where you’re coming from. I’ve been told “you looked taller on the internet” by a real life person. Just don’t let it get to you because there are plenty of people who give 0 fucks. And you’re 100% right that if they have height or any specific physical thing in their profile, they’re probably poo poo. So just hit up people with nice profiles.

When software updates don't actually do anything but just change how things that already worked fine work. I just updated my windows 10 and instead of being able to right click on the audio thing and go in to "show audio devices" or something, instead of I have to push sound settings and change the output from there. Why is this better? Why did it need to be changed? I hate updating for the sake of updating. If it works, don't fix it. Leave it be. Additional software peeve: if you're going to do a major change, at least make an effort to make it backwards compatible. I hate being forced to update the code and then whoops, all the code I wrote in the past 6 months doesn't work anymore until I update it. I hate having to re-learn how to do things in a language I already know every few months, it's a waste of time. At least Fortran doesn't change much, he's good and reliable and my friend.

On the other side of things I hate when things that are broken aren't patched to fix them, like with a great little game called World to the West. It has a lot of charm and some interesting collectibles to find, but one of the health upgrades is bugged in such a way it's impossible to reach because an enemy that you need to control spawns on top of the room instead of inside it, making it undetectable outside of a shadow. They never fixed that.

Might I suggest farmersonly.com? Tinder has become so ubiquitous that the userbase on other sites has drained to just the bottom of the barrel (probably depends where you live and how old you are). People use it for all sorts of things now, from casual bangs to serious relationships to just friends. It's not a good system but it's basically the only way to meet strangers consistently. One of my best friends married her Tinder match and now they're sailing the Atlantic in a boat they live on. They are clearly insane but also pretty happy.

Why is this better? Why did it need to be changed? I agree with your point in general, but you can now left-click on the audio thing, click on the displayed output device, and change it from the list that pops up.

Why is this better? Why did it need to be changed? I am no smart computer guy but I have yet to enjoy any update since windows xp. What features have I gained? Serious question Also gently caress when windows updates by asking “now, set a time, or remind me later” and then updates, closing all my tabs and documents and extremely important steam window even though I had intentionally put it off to not get the lovely update at all

The word "factoid" does not mean the same thing as "fact". They are different words. I know that there are an infinite number of language gripes, but this one actually creates confusion about what the person is trying to say.

Mamabear triggers a reaction of intense disliking for me, especially if the mother is referring to herself as it. It's just such a dumb thing to say, especially when it's accompanied by a bunch of "rawr"s.

"Mama bear" annoys me too. Like, yeah, you're going to protect your kid. That's what moms (hopefully) do. Is the bear part supposed to imply that you're going to do it by mauling somebody to death? Because that's annoying by itself (that way people threaten others like "Oooh, if we weren't in public right now I'd totally kick his rear end, for real, believe me").

Parasol Prophet posted:"Mama bear" annoys me too. Like, yeah, you're going to protect your kid. That's what moms (hopefully) do. I mostly hate it because of my (unfortunately) sister in law who is always posting about what a fierce mama bear she is. They live in a shack in the middle of the woods (which is absolutely stupid with a prematurely born kid who has a lot of health problems and they are trapped in snow for a good portion of the winter, but I digress), and she posts stories about how they go foraging for mushrooms and poo poo. One time they came across a bear den and she went in to "mama bear mode" (her words) and scared it away and was like bragging about how even bears don't "mess with her" but if they do "at least I have my glock". I'm sure a bunch of 9mm bullets plinking off a bear skull is going to save you from being mauled and eaten to death if the bear doesn't/can't run away next time. You aren't a bear, you're a human, know your limitations and stop putting your kid in danger because you think your ultra-protective instinct will stop a wild animal from killing you all if it wants to.

In my experience, "mama bear" is code for "giant bitch who will scream in your face until you change little MacKenzie's grade to an A and also let her be captain of the soccer team because it will SCAR HER FOR LIFE is she has to sit on the bench one single second of the 5-6 year old youth summer soccer league's season."

Anyone using the word human being, autistic etc. IRL. Staph. Also the only time the word gay can be used if it refers to someone who is genuinely gay. The only exception is if you joke about not knowing any other adjectives.

I get something from Starbucks for a friend of mine, on a vaguely regular basis. It's called an Oreo Frappuccino. It's on the "secret menu" or whatever. The place I get it the most? I say it, they say OK, and I get the Oreo Frappuccino. The place closest to where I drop it off, though? I get told they don't have it, and then someone says that they do, but it's really a tall whatever with whatever and substitute whatever with whatever. Every time, I get sass. Give me my goddamned Oreo Frappuccino and I'll be on my way.

One I have stated my name, you will notice it matches the chart. It's not hard.

When people accuse supporters of whatever politics they oppose of hypocrisy by ascribing the actions or beliefs of a subset to the entire group. Like "first Max Smith's supporters say that no one should have Skub but now that he's been elected they think it's OK for some people to have Skub" but actually some of his supporters think no one should have Skub and some of his other supporters have a less extreme opinion. That's not hypocrisy, it's just a bunch of people with different opinions all agreeing on one particular issue (they like Max Smith better than whoever his opponent is). It's particularly obnoxious when it's huge, diverse groups like "conservatives" or "women".
