the PR lady at my job is a 50-something 'earth mum' type and she keeps going on at me about how her husband is a homeopath and how it 'just works', nobody in her household ever gets ill, her children have never been ill, how can you argue against that etc ...Jay wrote:

I've given up arguing with people about it. Lecturing ignorant people is a complete waste of breath because inevitably they just invoke Pascal's wager.uziq wrote:

she's also had a sore throat for the last 3 weeks. she's the only person in the office who is constantly sniffling, coughing or spluttering. I have no idea how she is so delusional.
(note: I know most common cold type symptoms aren't treatable by normal medicine either, but I'm not talking about that)

stopped at a light after getting off the highway underneath the overpass, the G35 (presumably) came off the same off-ramp, bumped off a cadillac escalade in the right lane, and smashed into me. i got pushed into a honda accord in front of me, and he got pushed into the accord in front of him. surprisingly, none of us were hurt and all the cars still ran after the accidentFatherTed wrote:

hit from behind and spun/pushed into something?
That huge gut you have - it could well be a gluten issue.Jay wrote:

Unrelated to what you were just talking about with Jay, but is wildly misinterpreting what people say in your "battles" a required activity, or is that just an optional little thing you employ when you want to annoy people?uziq wrote:

According to you. I could get 50 people and get 50 different answers on 'what you do' every time. Also what 'requires' a tip is just as arbitrarily stupid.pirana6 wrote:
you tip 15% on literally everything that "requires" a tip.
