and they never have exactly what you need either. the number of times i've come home empty handed and had to buy online anyway is rediculous

I have a problem where everything that I want to buy has been discontinued years ago, so my days of research end up being all for naught by the time I'm ready to pull the trigger. I really need to start reading the publish dates on web pages...

As someone who both knits and crochets, I've stopped being bothered by people who confuse the two. I just don't have enough fucks to give anymore, and I can see how one who isn't familiar might confuse the two... But I draw the line at confusing crochet with cross stitch. Thank you for your pedantry.

Some cities in my state started using RCV for local elections. Then, almost immediately, the state legislature made an amendment to our constitution banning any voting system other than FPTP...

One time when I was a little kid, my sister and i saw a huge spider crawling along on the floor very slowly. We screamed, and our dad came in and stepped on it. Thousands of billions of little baby spiders came pouring out. It was horrifying. And that's (one of the many) reasons why I don't kill spiders. If necessary, I will relocate them outside by trapping them with an upside down cup and sliding a coaster underneath to ensure secure transport (unless they jump, then I make my partner do it, lol).

herbs are just weeds that taste and/or smell good.

Mine always stays intact. Until i let literally anyone borrow it. The worst is when you get it back and instead of being totally snapped off, it's just bent up to a 90⁰ angle, and then you have to snap it off yourself because you can never get it to lie flat again after that. That's why I would always keep a spare with the clip already fucked up in my bag when someone inevitably asked to borrow a pencil.

He can't pardon a disbarment, though!

My mom only had the lower two wisdom teeth, none on top.

It does sound kinda crazy, but you will use it for like 1/3 of every day. I can see a similar argument being appropriate as for buying high quality shoes.

That... actually makes a lot of sense. Time could just be an emergent property of entropy. The second law of thermodynamics (the sum of the entropies of the interacting thermodynamic systems never decreases) could then be applied to explain why time appears to only move in one direction.
