Do people actually like pizza with the crust so flaccid and the cheese so melty that it drips off? A good slice doesn’t come apart before you can eat it.

(Any innuendo is deliberate.)

I’ve never understood how being a wanker to someone whose job it is to sort issues out somehow nets you a better end result.

I saw a guy yell at an airport employee who kept telling him that she couldn’t legally let him on the plane because the cabin door was already shut. He kept at it until a supervisor showed up, contacted the pilot, and let him in. I get where the guy was coming from (because he loudly proclaimed that he was missing a connecting flight through no fault of his own) but it was still weird to see him get something by being angry which he probably couldn’t have gotten by being nice.

I think most people will interpret that as confessing a crush.

The PSF is (presumably) already required to comply with Federal anti-discrimination laws. Am I misreading the text or does it not actually create any new obligations for the PSF if they were to accept the grant?

A shoehorn.

I often watch other people play games and they look like a lot of fun but then I buy them and try playing them myself and don’t like them. For example:

Kerbal Space Program

Baldur’s Gate 3

King of Dragon Pass

Subnautica

Handcuffs can leave signs, but I’m not sure how examining a body could indicate that the person had been blindfolded. Were the bodies returned with blindfolds on?

Stop staring at me with your dead eyes!

My problem with the game was that the connection between my choices and their outcomes was very hard for me to see. The mechanics are hidden and the consequences of many actions can be quite delayed, so I would end up losing without understanding why. I did make some progress just by role-playing, which is presumably the intent of the developers, but the game also requires detailed resource management (how many cows exactly do you sacrifice, etc) and I didn’t end up figuring that out before giving up.

I grew up in a big city so I didn’t learn to drive until I was 23, and once I did, I realized how much I had been missing. A car with a full tank of gas really does feel like freedom to me, so I enjoy having a car that is good at being a car. I’m not particularly interested in aftermarket modifications, but I am willing to pay more for a car that is fast, handles well, and looks good.

Having nice things is a display of wealth and status, but which nice things a person chooses to have still depends on what they enjoy and how they want to express themselves. Even among car enthusiasts, which sort of car one is enthusiastic about varies a lot. I know a guy who has a luxury SUV which is extremely comfortable. I, on the other hand, had a car which could go around corners really fast. Whenever my passengers bounced around as the car went over a bump, I would tell them “I paid extra for that stiff suspension.”

It’s to keep the exposed surface from drying out.

That… doesn’t seem bad? No one would mind if he also put some vegetables in there and called it a pasta salad.

I was at a picnic where a two-year-old girl holding a slice of pizza took a bite and then offered the slice to my dog so that he could have his turn taking a bite. (He had been giving her the hungry-puppy stare.) It’s a shame that there was no one ready to photograph the look on her face when my dog grabbed the whole slice out of her hands and ran off with it. That experience is going to be her supervillain origin story.

I don’t understand what he was hoping to gain. Intercepting the flotilla without anyone getting hurt once it got close to Israel was well within Israel’s naval capabilities and received relatively little news coverage because everyone knew from the start that it would happen. Playing around with drones offended the countries that the flotilla was near when it happened, got a lot of unfavorable news coverage because it is such a weird thing to do, and likely wouldn’t have stopped the flotilla even if it had burned down several ships.

Poking people with sticks was against the rules of recess and I knew that, so I didn’t feel that I was punished unfairly. The teacher did let me know that the way that I did it was especially against the rules, but she didn’t punish me more because of that.

When I was little, I acted out cartoon violence by poking a girl’s butt with a stick and the teacher told me that I was in trouble for reasons that I would understand when I was older.

Checkmate feminists.

Why would the dude go to a graveyard while wearing a suit of armor? Is it in enemy territory? Did he have to fight his way in?

Technically it still exists but it’s effectively dead.
