Because it’s good raw but it’s fantastic roasted.

Only if I’m drunk.

There are reasons women have very often chosen not to use voice chat in games for decades now. You will get some sort of harassment. Often that harassment is framed as being well-intentioned (“I’m not part of the problem–I talk to girls!” -“Okay, but maybe talking to them just because they have vaginas is still not desirable.”)

Maybe try fostering a pet and see if you want to adopt one. They give me meaning and joy.

I would also recommend traveling. It costs money, but you can find good deals, and it’s worth it.

The more you talk to your dog, being careful to use consistent language, the more it will understand. And the more it will focus on you, which is good for behavior in general.

A huge part of it is talking with your dogs, training your dogs, and being consistent.

My dogs understand the phrase “let’s go” and can understand it as a combined phrase such as “let’s go for a walk”, “let’s go outside”, “let’s go upstairs”. People very much underestimate dogs’ ability to truly understand human language.

I even had a very experienced and highly regarded dog trainer recently tell me that commands should ideally be single-syllable. Maybe, but certainly not due to any limitation in the dog’s ability to understand longer words and phrases. I can even be cuddling with the dogs on the couch, say, “I need to pee”, and they go running off to the bathroom (have to protect me, I guess).

I have a very hard time believing that the majority of US soldiers would be willing to attack Canadians.

lol

I don’t get hangovers, but I also keep myself very hydrated.

It was fine until we let the south join.

I’m pretty sure that’s a learned cultural behavior.

Hey, don’t judge.

I don’t know where people come up with these things.

I’ve never heard that one, but I have heard people argue for a hot dog being a sandwich.

I don’t think that’s weird. A lot of people don’t know that “the state” means “the country” unless you are specifically talking about individual states within a country. I can see how that could be confusing for somebody who doesn’t know better.

I’m reminded of when I was in like 8th grade or something and I was confused about how the UK can be a country but England and Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland are also countries. Similar concept.

Not one that I overheard but one that I was involved in:

I said that I didn’t like bright yellow. This apparently was extremely offensive to the friend I was dating at the time and he had to convince me that I was wrong and there is no room for opinion on the matter of color preferences.

Also legal. You can’t have the live crabs.

Stomping on them would be legal.

The idea is to prevent people from spreading invasive species, but in this case, the law is backfiring because it’s not people spreading the invasive species. It’s already here and spreading on its own.

I’d lose that battle.
