Where the gently caress do people use the euro but also call it quid? Ireland?

I think quid was slang for Irish pounds as well as pounds sterling, so I guess it could have carried over to euros.

Yesterday I had an old lady tell me that the fact that the deli's hot food is sold by individual pieces of chicken and also in combos with a side was "misleading." I think she was confusing the fact that the quarter rotisserie chicken piece she was buying ($3.99) is close in price to one piece of breaded chicken and a side ($3.49, or $1.99 for just the chicken), and coming to the conclusion that you're charged the same whether you get a side or not, but she was just not even really listening to my attempts to clarify. People are dumb even before you exaggerate your story beyond believability.

sometimes i wonder if at this point they are intentionally writing them as over the top fakes because that gets more comments or whatever calling it out as fake than it would if the story was realistic.

SilkyP posted:I can't believe people buy dvds or blu rays I have a small collection of BDs. As someone with woeful internet and a distaste of DRM, I'd rather have physical copies. Netflix pulls stuff all the time, every loving distributor wants to have their own streaming site (which also don't come here), half the good poo poo isn't available in Australia for ages anyway because the one main cable company has a monopoly. I don't have to worry about my media disappearing one day (or actually being forcibly deleted from my devices). By the time they (the physical media) stop working, I'll stop caring but it won't be because my internet stopped working or the rights changed. And at the end of the day, I can still sell them or give them to someone else without jumping through any hoops.

I love that you can see her thought process that two years isnt ~advanced~ enough, but 3 years is too old, so they stick the "1/2" in there.

I like how the guy in this fantasy determines the age of the child based on its cognition and not by, ya know, how big the child is. I'm not an expert on children but I'm pretty sure that a 16 month old is quite a bit smaller than a 2 1/2 year old. Plus, who the hell cares what a random stranger in a store says? People say fake poo poo about babies all the time, i.e. "Oh, what a pretty baby! She seems so smart." A better version would have been: "I took my child to a new pediatrician for a check up. When the doctor looked at my Darling Child he told me that it's cognitive ability is right on track (and is in fact a bit high) but that my child is very small for her age. When I asked for further information (DC is right on target in all the resources I've looked at), the Doctor said "Well she's pretty small for a 2 1/2 year old (Can you believe it?!?). I told the Doctor that my child was in fact only 16 months old and the doctor was shocked! "Well she's very advanced for her age." "Nope, she's just not vaccinated" As I walked off the Doctor picked up their jaw off the floor and yelled after me "I'm going to tell all my patients about the wonders of anti-vaccination, Thank you for teaching me so much about modern medicine!" As the entire waiting room burst out in applause my Darling Child looked up at me and said "Mommy, why is everyone acting so strange? It's almost like they don't realize the dangers of putting chemicals in your body." Then we went and got ice cream as a reward."

Only being able to stream my media in the era of throttling and data caps seems silly, as does not being able to watch during an internet outage. Also having had several platforms with my purchased stuff not survive makes me leery for any of my non-Amazon digital media. And now, a small smorgasbord of badassery that definitely happened for all of you (man I wish there was a smorgasbord restaurant near me):

I guess the way he initially tries to write himself as non-creepy is the STDH. Sidling up to someone and just staring at what they're staring at is weird. Not as weird as the stalking her while rubbing your boner, but still very weird. Chances are she might have reacted possibly if he had just made appropriate small talk about the tree or whatever instead of just staring brooding silently thinking "i'm not currently physically assaulting her, why isn't this bitch loving me yet".

Well, specifically I believe he said something to his dad when he was 8 that caused his father to never be able to look at him the same way again, and that in english class he launched into a huge diatribe that left his teacher and classmates dumbfounded. Isn't this a scene in a movie or something? Like right down to the cigar thing? Also, who the smokes cigars at work? Is he a floor manager at an autoplant in the 50's?
