It’s somewhat specific to someone with my type of background; namely growing up in a family of young-Earth creationist, fundamentalist Christians, and learning that things like science and evolution are lies from Satan.

At some point curiosity got the better of me and I realized I didn’t even know what evolution even is, so I read up a bit about it. Then a bit more. You know, this actually kind of makes sense. Eventually the rabbit hole led to the existence of God. I remember watching a bunch of debates and expecting the most learned representatives of our Christian tradition to make some really great arguments. And… they… never… did.

Are you saying id-gaff or I-D-G-A-F?

That was super cool.

Hell yeah, brother.

So, I grew up in a super religious environment – which is where I grew up, not necessarily the folks in this picture. But if this was from my childhood, I would imagine it went down like this: there are quite a few people who are 100% bought in to the religious teachings. A few of those folks probably got together and developed this idea. No double entendre meant or understood. But there are also quite a few folks who are at least aware of the real world. Those folks saw this trainwreck unfolding in slow motion. But the problem is, sex is taboo. So what are they going to do? Raise the alarm? Explain to everyone who doesn’t know what a clit is? And then, worst of all, explain how they know what a clit is? Oh hell no. That’s just never going to happen. So if the team embarrasses themselves, well, I guess that was just God’s will.

Wow that’s crazy. I still remember some of the questions that supposedly made me and my partner 99% compatible. That’s such a drastic shift for them.

Edit for unrelated story: My second highest match was like 97%, but she clarified in her profile that she was looking for a bi third to join her and her partner. OKC kept recommending her so eventually I just messaged her to say “I’m not what you’re looking for but good luck!”

I forgot to turn my computer on 😓

The customer initiated the transaction under the conditions that currently exist.

I feel like that’s what the percentage was meant to approximate. Because more people in a party are likely to have a larger bill and will definitely be more work. Of course there are more variables and one constant percentage won’t always result in the same reasonable wage for their work.

I like how incredibly wholesome your comment is.

Also I agree. I hadn’t thought about either of those things but I like the perspectives.

Schizophrenic

What do YOU mean “you bois”?

Yes

Honestly, why? We’ve got billions of people driving around in cars they don’t know how to build. Is that a problem too?

My kids don’t even buy band shirts, but I will 100% subject them to important music whenever it comes up and I realize they don’t know it yet.

Recently, Bohemian Rhapsody came on and my son knew it and said it was a good song, so apparently I’m a pretty good father.

I love this so much

I got a bunch of different kinds of boxer briefs a few years ago, and I learned from that experience that there is a WIDE variety of quality and fit in this category. They really shouldn’t chafe or let your balls stick to your thigh, if they do I’d highly recommend trying a different brand or fit or whatever.

One use case is if you’re running a web server that is configured to return a “maintenance” page instead of the live site if a particular file exists. Which is actually pretty cool because then you don’t have to update the config when you need to do something or let your users get a bunch of 502 errors, you just touch maintenance and you’re good.

I’ve started doing that too. List something for a low price to weed out the entitled freelisters, then give it free to whoever shows up without being a pain in my ass.

Unfortunately it doesn’t weed out the scammers or the folks who just ghost after saying “is this still available?”

The only thing that I am actually aware of about this post is that she used the full word “you” exactly once. WHY? She could have just said “u” again and I would’ve been much less irritated.
