Owlspiracy posted:can we focus on the fact that the only restaurant she can apparently eat at due to allergies is red robin - that was by far the worst part of the story I've heard that before from someone with the huge list of allergies that prevents them from eating out anywhere. Apparently out of all the chain restaurants Red Robin is the only one that has a certain burger that didn't trigger a reaction.

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:generally i think ending a game of chess that quickly against a player way, way worse than you is bad form, however this guy totally deserved it “it would be nice to teach a pretty girl about the art of chess,” and “she could learn a few things from him,”

How does it even get that far? My spouse would have been feeding him chess pieces after the pretty girl comment.

Parmesan cheese on garlic fries is ok only because parmesan has basically no lactose in it. I also need to follow an alkaline diet. Otherwise those foods will cause me severe inflammation and pain, among other issues. RR fries their french fries in its own oil so there isn't cross-contamination with wheat, they offer gluten-free (wheat-free) options and meat substitutes, and I can fully customize the items on my burger so it only has items I can eat (no onions or pickles, etc). There are very few restaurants that have these kinds of options for me. I thought alkaline stuff, or at least alkaline water, was pure woo? It's just a scam to sell you a machine that zaps your water for $3-$5,000. She's also pretty insufferable in the comments and has written many, many paragraphs in her responses. Her boyfriend also doesn't tip unless she pushes him to do it, which is always an argument. They sound like a fun time.

AITA for not giving my pack of goldfish to the kid next to me on the airplane after his mom ate his pack?quote:I was on vacation for Memorial Day Weekend, on my flight back that’s when this happened. The flight attendant came around and gave everyone a drink and a bag of goldfish and a biscuit. I ate my biscuit however I wanted to keep my goldfish in case I got hungry later on in my trip (flight was short). The mom next to me then is like my son is hungry can he have your goldfish.

Imagine losing a 100 kids in a fire in a school's first year, and someone says, "well now we have to rebuild and stay open for at least 50 years. Otherwise, our kids per year ratio will be worse than those other guys."

They saw me watching and asked if I wanted to play. Me being cocky thought that scraggly hobos couldn't be very good so I played one of them. That dude kicked my rear end over and over again in an barrage of embarrassingly short games. Never forgot that lol yeah when i went to college i would walk by the park where the bums would sit all day playing chess and i considered playing but i was like "man, all these dudes do is play chess and watch each other play chess... they're probably really good" so i never took the time on the other hand, one afternoon i was sitting in a bar and some guy comes up to me with a pocket chess set and asks if i play. he says loser buys a drink so i'm like sure, fine. i figure the dude is pretty good since he goes around challenging strangers in bars to chess but i beat him pretty quickly. it could have been some kind of icebreaker to just strike up conversations at the bar but he got pretty salty about it and walked out. like my dude, you came and tapped on my shoulder lol

AITA for not watching anime?quote:My one friend finds something he likes and makes it his entire personality and all he ever wants to talk about. When he got into anime, I would watch a select few, but am not into the fighting ones he watches. I admit I have a pretty basic taste and watch basic TV shows, which he will NOT watch no matter how good I say it is, which doesn't bother me because he's the one missing out. He would get so mad that I wouldn't watch animes and just KEEP asking me and loudly make references to the shows as if I got them. Eventually, he made a new friend that likes anime just as much as him. After the first day they hung out, he came back to out apartment and said he was his new best friend instead of me. I literally had to stop talking to my other best friend because he would get so mad every time we hung out. All he ever wears now are anime t shirts and all he'll talk about is anime nonstop, even when I introduce new people that clearly don't want to watch anime. We have a mutual friend and he has given into watching some of the shows. Now, the three of them constantly go out and never invite me and base everything they do (say it with me) around anime. They go to eat and base their entire meal around anime characters (either color pallets or what they think they would eat). I'm at the end of my line here and am admittedly bothered that we wouldn't really ever do things based around my interests and now we can't just hang out without anime coming up. AITA for not wanting to participate?

He also doesn't know what is or isn't a starch and what is or isn't an acidic food.

Some brands of bottled water, such as fiji are more alkaline than other more acidic brands than dasani. If one prefers the taste of more alkaline water, by all means, buy it, but it will not grant you any additional health benefits or special powers. It is in fact woo to enrich Alex Jones and his peers. OP is dumb. Anyone who talks about "inflammation" regarding food is also either peddling and/or buying woo. sebmojo posted:the whiskery hobo at the chess board is the chess equivalent of the serenely wizened old man in the martial arts flick, smh

This is interesting. As an L2 speaker of English, the final four are pretty much synonyms in my ears. I would also say that 'abhorrence' is maybe mixed with fear, whereas 'loathing' is 100% disgust. But maybe I'm misunderstanding things through my L2 lens.

As a native speaker, "abhorrence" and "loathing" are the same, and revulsion is far stronger than either. Like, there's "I hate X" vs. "X snaps me back 20 feet and I start to vomit." Words, man. Somebody out there uses "revulsion" to describe the grocery store being out of their brand of toothpaste.
