Currently with friends and their kids for Halloween and one parent in the group won’t allow their kids to dress up for religious reasons. Some of the other kids in our group kept asking the older one what she’s dressed up as (in her normal clothes) and she finally just yelled out “our savior!” (obviously reacting from a tough spot as the kids who stand out from the rest based on their parents’ decisions). Apart from that it could be for financial reasons.

In any case I don’t see why people get so stingey with Halloween candy if a kid isn’t dressed up enough. You’re giving it out anyway. Razzing seems fine though and this isn’t intended to criticize you but more just tangential soap boxing.

This sounds like one of those dishes you learn about in prison.

You’re saying it’s from New York City?

NEW YORK CITY?!?!

Not entirely a ‘car accident’ but I was driving down the interstate and narrowly dodged a shovel head (the handle had broken off) sitting in the far left passing lane in a construction zone. The car behind me hit it and I watched in my rear view mirror as it flew up in the air and traveled all the way over to the right side travel lane and fucking demolished the windshield of a car. I was expecting the car to jerk and swerve from the driver freaking out from this object falling out of the sky right into their windshield, but they just very calmly merged to the shoulder and stopped.

The other one was me barely missing an empty pallet sitting in the middle of my lane when it was dark out and seeing the headlights of the car tailgating behind me do a complete 360 as they tried to dodge it. If they’d left a little more room between us they probably could have followed my lead and drove around in, but their short following distance left no time for them to react.

It also screws with post sorting on the front page since Lemmy still doesn’t have a high enough rate of new posts/comments.

Jesus, I thought this was the other post, “Whats your favorite movie of all time?” and I was judging the shit out of you for this list.

FYI if you get a FHA loan, you can’t remove the PMI at all without refinancing. This was implemented after the crash in '07/'08. You can still get a conventional loan without doing the full 20%. I put around 10% down and just dropped PMI after about 4 years, though I likely could have removed it earlier if I’d paid for a new appraisal due to the increased property value.

Corn or flour (and I hope to god she’s heating them up first)? Growing up as a Caucasian child, my parents never cooked the tortillas on taco night and I didn’t know you were supposed to until meeting my Hispanic wife. Eating a cold tortilla now is like blasphemy.

Mythbusters did a test of poop particles on toothbrushes stored in areas all around their workshop and IIRC, the one in the bathroom actually had one of the lowest amounts of poop particles on it.

You might actually save money buying in bulk plus you won’t need to make 2x the number of trips to the store which burns gas and your time.

Hell is very hot from what I understand.

I’m guessing /u/friend_of_satan lives in a very hot and arid climate.
