    1. We eating chips and popcorn with chopsticks now.

    You’re welcome for cleaner fingers and everything you touch with them.

    1. Beer ain’t getting served without some sorta pickle.

    2. Pets will be told about foods, walks, and treats in a foreign language as to prevent them getting excited about things they love during normal conversations

    3. More ducks than chickens. Duck eggs are better, duck meat is better, duck fat is better than schmaltz

    4. It’s now so wildly normal for men to wear crop tops

    You’re fucking welcome

    1. You’re getting paid for your commute time now. Your employer is covering tolls, transit passes etc.

      The foreign language trick doesn’t work, turns out dogs can pick up words from various languages

        It’s worked historically for me with cats and dogs specifically around food. I don’t use it for “stay, sit, halt” commands though since I think it’s useful if other people can issue those commands to a dog without knowing, in my house, Yiddish.

      funny about #6

      I have a interesting job, its all about the work and not so much about the time I spend doing the work even though I am technically an hourly employee.

      I leave my house at the same time every day but rarely do I make it to work at the same time. Thats the deal and nobody seems to care if I explain it that way.

      I also leverage native time… I will get to that when I get to it.

      I wonder how fast they would start allowing work from home again.

        Not that fast really. It’s pretty common in europe if you can ride a train and work en route. I’ve even seen people compensated for driving time & gas.

      And this was how TheAlbatross’s Labrador became fluent in Croatian.

      1. I love garlic stuffed olives, but have to eat them with chopsticks to slow myself down.

      2. My dogs love Pupperonis (one letter away from pepperoni), but I call them puppereenies so they don’t go ape shit when discussing toppings…

      Edit: Swipe typing is getting worse every day, fixed auto assumptions…

      You fool! I eat chips by pushing the bottom of the bag, then grabbing one with my mouth. No utensils required.
