Fun fact: that famous "eagle screech" is actually a recording of a Red-Tailed Hawk.

Eagles sound like fucking idiots in real life

Fucking SAME. I bartended and served through college (my degree doesn't pay well due to YouTube tutorials that have flourished in my industry, lol ouch) and after, and then finally at 30 I started temping in manufacturing, which led to me permanently hired at a huge company with ridiculous benefits, and am now a supervisor in engine assembly that will make 6 figures in 3 years.

I desperately wish I had gone into trade school when I was 18.

"But we don't allow people to drink-drive, yet we keep putting them up in aircraft at 33,000ft."

Aaah, so the problem is drunk pilots. I can get behind a two-drink maximum for flying a plane. Although, in "Flight" the guy flew a plane upside down hammered...so maybe it should be a two-drink minimum to get maximum innovation.

ETA: I suppose I needed the "/s" after all

I honestly didn't know who to write down, maybe Barron? He's heard of Trump, maybe he would actually want to give a hand to such a wretched soggy being? Or, imagine he might be invited to caddy the clubs behind the cart?

concerned family member shows up - "oh my God, is he ok??"

Aide, visibly shaken - "I honestly don't know, I've never seen him like this.."

concerned family member - "is..is he out there right now?*

Aide - yes... I'm so worried, he is out there right now, just.. playing golf, all day, every day... he needs to stop and confront his feelings and all he can do is golf sob"

CFM "earlier you said 27 holes... he must be exhausted just trying to cope..this is really bad"

Aide - "IT IS SO BAD PLEASE HELP HIM!!"

CFM - "God be with me, I will get him to come inside and drink a diet coke. Hopefully he will snap out of this madness....."

Aide - "..please...go with God!"

CFM - "God will guide me to him. Wish me luck!"

removes leather shoes, hops in cart, and speeds away through the green grass, nary a thought to use the given path... this is the most important rescue in the world. People say that it was the most important, maybe, probably, the most important, ever.

I fell for it and was momentarily outraged. Goke's on me.

"You miss every shot you don't take!" or similar. It's useless, makes no sense, and is disrespectful to yourself and others.

Which is why I love saying it to pricks at work.

Don't stop, don't.. stop.. I'm about to... VOTE

 

Hello! I really, really love bok choy, but every time I prepare it it turns a little sour. My intent is to eat it as part of a simple vegetable stir fry.

I love blanching when it comes to green beans/peas, steaming when it comes to Broc/cauli, and stir fried for all else..

What is your favorite way to prepare bok choy to achieve the best crunchy-and-tender texture?

 

I swear, ~~every time~~ most of the time I see someone being particularly rude, ignorant, and inappropriate on a post (usually political in origin, or they swing it to being political) I click on their profile and see it has been created that same day.

They are only there to sow discord. Only to piss people off. Idk if we can just report them (for what?) but I'd like to try exposing them before responding and interacting..

I am guilty of gobbling up the bait. I've started looking at profiles of people that piss me off exceptionally and noticed they're burner bot loser accounts.

I guess i just want to say I've noticed it!

Sometimes, I open the fridge (or a cabinet) and just see some condiment (mostly hot sauce) and realize it will dictate my diet for the next month.

Like today. I opened my bachelor/nihilist fridge and saw a bottle of Walmart steak sauce. Now, I know, I guess I must eat steak inspired meals, or ground beef inspired meals, or whatever but my favorite is over easy eggs with steak sauce. Or, any sandwich. Also, boiled potatoes, because I am a genius that hates themself. Also green vegetables.

Sriracha is similar. I see it and think, "oh, you TEASE!" and then put on a pot of rice and start blanching all my veggies.

I see some local "Louisiana Hot Sauce" in my hot sauce cabinet? Looks like I'm eating pizza for a few weeks because I love the dipping options.

I'm sure this has been a big, annoying, reddit/Lemmy monstrosity of a conversation already; I just wanted to ask what anyone else was assigned to eat by the Condiment Royal Family/Lineage/deity to obey this morning.

 

Hello! So, I have always joked around with my friends about how when you say a particular word a few times, you start to question if it even is a word, or if it is spelled that way, etc.(think of tubing, or smock as examples) I have noticed in the past few weeks that I (37yr) am having that problem with almost any word that I try to write. We are talking about "and/it/the/Patrick" and whatnot, and it is really making problems for me at work.

Does anyone else have this problem! Does your brain automatically make all words sound fake?

And, yes, all words are made up.. I am talking about the ones that currently reside in common speech.
