This looks awesome and very useful. Thank you for sharing it here!

Thank you!

Ooh, I’m looking forward to reading this - this whole fiasco seemed so ridiculous and dramatic and hilarious to me. Thanks for sharing it here! Also, great usage of the fun word “imbroglio!”

Ooh, I do! I’ll check it out, thank you! I appreciate it :)

Thank you for sharing this! I remember liking America’s Test Kitchen and I’m commenting in hopes that I remember to watch this later when I’m able to. I’m already a big fan of using different power levels, though, which I’m guessing this is about. I wish more people would give it a shot and learn how to use it (and other little ‘tricks’) well!

Holy shit! This is how I just found out that bastard finally died! WOOHOO! 🎉

I remember seeing this meme many times over the years with the caption of “Is Kissinger even in this thing!?” I guess he was! He still lived entirely too long, though.

I don’t know what the rules are on whether or not we can say things like “I hope he fucking suffered!” or similar, sooooo, I guess I won’t say anything like that.

Aww, ya took my joke before I could make it!

Oh well. I’ll be here in case they need a back-up skank. I’ve got lots of practice being the last-choice skank. 😎

That is exactly my story, too! I’m glad we both found our way here like that. Fun stuff :)

YAAAY!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I’m so glad he’s got a nice, good home and is happy and at a healthier weight. That makes me happy.

You said a “jackdaw is a crow.” Is it in the same family? Yes. No one’s arguing that. As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing. If you’re saying “crow family” you’re referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens. So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people “call the black ones crows?” Let’s get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too. Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how taxonomy works. They’re both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that’s not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you’re okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you’d call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don’t. It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?

I like the way your brain works.

I think you’re right. Let’s hope he doesn’t speak in class today.

No… we’re the wheat!

Oh, I love when that happens!! It’s so fun and kind of wild. The world is so big, yet so small. It boggles my little mind.

What a wonderful, helpful, thoughtful, and kind comment! I love it! People like you help me keep a little faith in humanity and websites like this. I appreciate you so much!

Yeah, I see people use commas as pauses where commas definitely aren’t supposed to go and that make no sense whatsoever (to me, anyway, but I know not everyone has the same education, resources, etc.) all the time. I think that’s part of what’s going on here.

It sounds like our brains work very similarly, fellow random-parentheses-using scatterbrain! I’m both glad I’m not alone and also sad that you experience this frustrating shit, too, haha. I feel for you.

I much prefer the way you break up your thoughts, by the way. It flows better, makes more sense, and reads in my head voice more like it would if you were speaking (to me, anyway!)

Good call! I hadn’t thought of that factor; even though my English keyboard does that, too. I can’t type random things it didn’t know until it was taught like “BLARGH” without it auto-capitalizing the entire thing, like it just did here.

Which is extra hilarious when it’s more nonsense memey things like “SQUART” or “VAGANAINIA” or “PREGANTE” or “DIYUCK” that my friends and I would spam each other with. Looking through the list of words it added to my ‘personal dictionary’ was hilarious. I struggle to get it to type all that nonsense in lowercase and it tickles me!

Thank you! They’re talented musicians, they absolutely fucking rock, and I love them so damn much. I immediately thought of my love for Creed when I saw this post, haha.

Why are you wanting to preserve white space in your comments? Maybe it’s just how it shows up on my screen, but I’m not seeing or understanding why or what the usage was in your initial comment here, or what the benefit was.

To be clear, I’m not judging or anything, especially since it’s not like you’re hurting anyone! Ultimately, you do yo thang! I’m just curious and interested to understand where you’re coming from. Is it just for funsies?

You’re right about the first part; it’s an incognito, tracker & ad blocking browser that clears your history and everything every time you close it… but if you long press on a link, you can open it in a new tab. Multiple, even. There’s just no option I’ve found to open a blank new tab and navigate to a website that way. So I totally understand why you’d think that!

(I hope this doesn’t come off as pedantic or rude or anything. That’s definitely not my intention here - I just want people to be able to make informed decisions with correct information, ya feel?)
