Language is always evolving, and for a term as long standing as pet, with such wide use, it's no longer an incorrect use of the word. Pet as a past participle aligns with the use of similar words like bet and set, and on a cultural basis petted sounds like the way a little kid speaks.

If I recall correctly, only one of the heads likes to be pet. Don't lose a hand.

It's the main reason I don't care for 80s-00s east coast comics. It's too hard to tell if they're going for shock comedy or are actually as dumb as they're telling us.

Sepparate utensils into three groups. Prep and baking tools should be near the largest counter space. Cooking tools should be near the stove. Single use tools should be near the curb.

I feel like this is one of those models we're completely wrong about.

I feel like the term has been bastardised away from what the literal words mean, being able to sense humor. So in that context, a good sense of humor would be a chill person who knows how to find absurdity in a situation rather than taking things seriously.

A fun person, in other words.

As for the more modern use, I would say someone who can make regular conversations and events entertaining, while avoiding low hanging fruit and what I consider lazy jokes, jokes based on discrimination and stereotypes.

Like, it's not cool or nice to make sexist and racist jokes, but on a totally different level, it's lazy joke writing. Wife bad Asian driving black criminal is hack shit that relies on ancient cliches for a punchline, and is generally missing very key parts to approach humor in exchange for getting white dudes in trucks to chuckle and say yeah.

A good point, but I do like the observation that the only problems Nissan has are with the two most important parts of a vehicle.

This is some pretty good spaghetti, just the noodles and sauce are trash.

Guaranteed this just turns Honda into Nissan quality

You know, I was waiting for this comment as soon as I listed open office. I sometimes use libre, but I like open better for no real reason. I've never run into anything it can't do, except of course for whatever reason I can't remember that caused me to get libre in the first place.

Not advertised at children, though

With a little patience you can make full on AR10s.

It isn't terribly difficult to make a rifled barrel with electrolysis.
