Oh boy I originally read this as that we needed to pick one of your listed hills and get behind it, and I liked the concept

I was 100% in agreement with all of them until the last one.

Thongs aren't uncomfortable

The feet ones or the butt ones?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Butt ones as this isn't Australia, lol. It wasn't until I was older myself I realized that thong had a different meaning around the world. I remember as a kid taking trips to Australia people used to always call things "thongs" and thought anything of it. As a New Zealander they'll always be Jandals to me.

As long as the pouch on the front isn't too constricting for my male bits and there isn't too much material and stitching in the seam underneath, I agree. Just like anything, gotta find the right fit.

spelling "catsup" as "ketchup" is as juvenile as spelling "night light" as "nite lite"

all of Rory's boyfriends in The Gilmore Girls were terrible, but Logan is the worst
using a slur "because it's not a bad word in my culture" still isn't okay

I didn't even know that "catsup" was an option until now. Where I'm from, we call it "tomato sauce" and "ketchup" is the American word as far as I've ever known.

What I consider ketchup/catsup includes much more sugar and vinegar than what I consider tomato sauce. Is that not the case where you are from or is there a different word used?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I think that is kinda true. Like, American brands that sell here are branded as "Heinz Ketchup" for example. And it's definitely more processed or whatever. But I feel like most people would still say "pass the tomato sauce", or if they say ketchup it's in a joking way. I couldn't speak for my whole country though.

I suppose the context of condiment vs. ingredient is enough. I don't think many recipes use ketchup/catsup and most meals don't leave tomato sauce out to be used as a condiment.
