Better a damaged roof still attached to the house than a roof strewn a mile and a half downwind.

Is that not the normal? I just started sailing again recently, and I legit feel bad having to clear out an old torrent to make room for something new.

They didn't have to make it look like the toilets cheeks were flushed in the 3rd panel... but they did.

(no pun intended)

Communication is a 2-way street.

Writing out an incoherent, unpunctuated paragraph is not only lazy on the writer's part, it's disrespectful in asking the reader to put in extra work to decipher what the actual hell they are talking about. Fortunately, it's also a pretty good sign that there's not a ton of value in whatever they wrote.

Better Call Saul

Short, sweet, and generally relevant to the episode in an almost easter-eggish way.

Sorry, the fact you're being downvoted for this is kinda funny.

As a generally left-leaning person, lemmy absolutely has a leftist demographic, and most politics-related threads are full of upvoted low effort hot takes, while relevant but unpopular opinions tend to get downvoted.

But, then again social media is gonna social media...

Believe me, I thought the exact same thing until we were gifted one, so i get the skepticism! The convection bake setting on my oven is just not even comparable to a $75 air fryer.

As another commenter posted, air fryers use a much more intense airflow. It's nuts just how much faster and crisper things like chicken thighs and frozen snacks come out compared to the oven.

The punchline is the comment about how the OP is like Green philosophy.

You're picking apart the setup, not the punchline, and therefore being "that guy" who ruins the joke.

Stop it.

Dude's here talking about how much he hates the idea of a meme, on a meme sub.

100% agree. "Boring" intros like the weather are just a way of getting some words going back and forth with a universally uncontroversial topic. And sometimes just commiserating or bantering about something low stakes is nice when getting to know someone brand new.

I can even tolerate topics I don't care about, as long as the other person is able to share their knowledge and passion in a way that makes you feel "talked to" instead of "talked at".

People who just seem to want a passive receptacle for their blathering are the most boring conversations IMO.

I had the same experience when trying to buy my brother (2 states away) a bottle of whiskey for his birthday. Rather than just hiring a delivery service or paying the driver a fair pre established rate, we are being forced to guess in advance how much of a "tip" (bribe) is necessary to ensure the order gets delivered in a timely and professional manner.

Definitely not an unpopular opinion, but I think it just comes down to Amazon specifically directing those questions (by email or prompts on the website) to people who have bought the product. And some people just dutifully answer the prompt without realizing their answer is going to be published in the Q&A section.
