See thats the distinction that I’m curious about.
When articles say “Do not tumble dry” I wonder “Are we concerned about the heat from an old fashioned rotating oven or the mechanical stress on the fabric?” because I have a fancy pants heat pump dryer and my wife still insists it will somehow ruin the clothes.
Ive lost count of the people who have a gut that hangs over their belt who have told me my breakfast of sugarfree energy drinks will kill me… Yeah ok mate, my lunch is greek yoghurt and fruit, preworkout is a ham and egg bagel and my dinner is lean protein and vegetables. I have abs, you have pre-diabetes, but yeah sure the chemicals.
Same reason I get shitty over the “Processed” food discussion. Chocolate fudge brownies arent a health food just because you use real butter, unbleached flour, free range eggs and raw sugar when you make them.
Customers are always pissed the first time you speak with them. When I have to call them I do a quick first call and let them know its immediately being worked on, ask them if theres any other information that might be helpful and Ill get back to them when I know something, they are ALWAYS better to deal with on the second call.
I do this because I can always get off the first call with “Respectfully, I’m not customer service. I’m the guy who fixes the problems and the longer I’m on this call is time I’m not fixing your problem. Now I need to go and I’ll call you as soon as I have a resolution”
People just want to be taken seriously.
You have way more chances to get back at shitty customers doing food service.
Get a cunty customer and you just smile a little too large, be a little too eager to fix their issue and let your eyes glint just a little. Then fix their issue exactly what they asked for with nothing wrong with it and untampered with. When you return to the table put a little too much emphasis on “Enjoy” when you give it to them.
They will spend the entire meal trying to figure out what you did or call the manager over and make a big scene about how you did something but cant point out what. Ruin my night, I’ll ruin yours.
Now this is a half remembered anecdote so… pinch of salt.
But I do remeber something about some people having negative reactions to the tannins in red wine. So it might not so much be the alcohol.
Whole foods are generally better.
But the level of processing doesnt define wether a food is healthy or not. Compare the nutritional info on pringles vs regular potato chips. Its almost exactly the same despite one being “ultra processed” and one being “Potatoes, salt, oil” Neither is a health food. Multivitamins and protein powder are ultraprocessed, pork belly isnt.
Learning how to read nutrition labels is something too few people know how to do.
I wake up in Australia every morning and check the news wondering if any of the headlines are going to be the 2026 Assassination of the Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand.
Yep, also if you can do the initial freeze with the lid off thats also going to help prevent cracking.
The rectangular loaf became popular due to packing efficiency. You can fit more of them in less space.
Bang every crazy groupie that wants a piece.
Does anyone else wonder wtf is going on in the video?
Except the number of pick and pull yards seems to be dropping by the day.
In a first world country with access to excellent medical care, no underlying conditions in an otherwise healthy person you’re probably going to be fine.
Thats not to say it might not be a significant contributor to what does get you.
If your married and kids are a forever no then dude should get the snip. Simple. I’m getting one soonish and if I ever find myself single again I’ll still be wearing rubbers unless Ive had the chat.
Am I the only person who is more deathly afraid of a life long STD that could fucking kill me than an unplanned pregnancy?
I dont care which one of us got the snip, unless I’m sure I’m the only dude you’re banging I’m bagging the fuck up until I see some test results which I’ll be happy to get and provide in kind.
I fucking love cars.
I also want to be able to not be FORCED to drive one day in day out. I want a robust public transport network, a robust electric car network and a reasonable ownership proposal for limited ICE engines in enthusast cars.
I posted in an ADHD community about how I’m fed up with managing my symptoms and I think I finally need to talk to a professional. Someone tried to blame my symptoms on capitalism.
As someone who simply left Reddit because they took away RIF and only stays here because I’m stubborn, Lemmy is the left wing version of Truth Social. A great deal of the users here are the absolute embodiment of the people from Sanfrancisco in South Park huffing each others farts about how progressive they are.
Like, I get it and I do agree in principle on most things with Lemmy which is the only reason I dont leave, but make no mistake THE FEDIVERSE IS AN ECHO CHAMBER.
I saw what you did there, Eh.
It goes through a weirdness peak between 30 and 50. Once you get to a certain age and stop giving “hello fellow kids” vibes nobody cares.
In their defence its also a lot easier for me because I’m not in a call center, my calls arent recorded and I dont have scripts or churn times to adhere to. Customer service in a call center must absolutely be someones definition of hell.
I’ve point blank said to customers things like “Look, I appreciate that you’re upset. Please believe me that I am upset too, because I have to go ask that idiot why he did what he did, document the conversation and I guarantee you the answer wont be a clever one” and “This is definitely our fuckup, not that I should use language like that with customers but ‘mistake’ just doesnt cut it”
