RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Blessing someone for a sneeze is the most useless human interaction I know of and we should do away with it.

Store brand is as good or better than A-brands in about 90% of all cases.

I have had enough times in which this was not the case, so dispute the percentage. But this can be the case, yes.

Calling Buddhism or Confucianism not a religion is a political claim which the speakers usually have zero knowledge of and I’m sick of it. The history of what is religion in China from the republic onwards with the very Protestant understanding of what is a world religion is very important to understand this question. But most people either claim this for their hippy means or to be derogatory

Percentile dice (two ten-sided ones) are read with one die representing the 10s digit, the other the ones digit.

00 and 0 = 100

10 and 0 = 10

The shit people come up with as alternatives to reading the results are wrong

If the ingredient of whatever snacks/dessert you're making is mostly chocolate, only use couverture or don't even try. There's place for compound but not here.

People will all change. In the past, I strongly opposed my wife's purchase of luxury goods, such as LV handbags. And we even quarreled because of such matters. Looking back now, it really wasn't necessary at all. So, people's concepts will indeed change.

Being neuroatypical isn't a fashion accessory. Growing up in the 80s and 90s and not being "normal" was marginalising and hard for everyone around. You're not special or trendy because you self-diagnosed autism using an online questionnaire in 2023, you're just an unbearable twat and you want to not have to take accountability for your own shitty attitude.
