Could it be the books are wrapped to protect against humidity? This may not be the whole reason why they do it but it wouldn't be the worst one.

blowing the butt trumpet has been an embarrassing thing for millennia

This is not correct. There is a Martin Luther qoute (around 1500) that goes something like "why don't you burp or fart? Wasn't the meal to your liking?" The Romans made the latrine a social gathering. The need for butt trumpet privacy is fairly recent.

Since I signed up to Lemmy I think I've spent about 30 minutes in the All feed. 5 minutes just now to remind me why I don't go there. You are your own algorithm. If all you subscribe to are meme communities, you ought to be able to drastically reduce political content in your personal feed. All and Local are for occasional excursions only.

"We are not so different, you and I," soliloquies the villain.

Super cut from YouTube

I kind of expect this sort of hidden ad shenanigans these days. Which I shouldn't, of course. But as a result I find it more infuriating to have a link to the "article" next to the already opened very same "article." Come on, algorithm! That's just unforgivable.

Yes, I did hear that before.

Eff me, that wasn't intended!

I am conflicted here. On the one hand, I agree that subtitles would have been nice. On the other hand, I think folks with hearing disabilities get shut out of other content so much that I don't think this somewhat solitary case makes it good mildly infuriating material. It's most likely just an oversight. Much less likely a clever scheme to highlight ableism.

Reverses the order of play when 3 or more people play or behaves like a skip when only 2 are left.

My kids brought home from kindergarten the house rule that you can discard all cards you hold with the same number at the same time when it is your turn so long as the bottom card matches the suit being played. Very chaotic but they love it.

This is a problem of their own making having started off so lenient with account usage. In the end, it's their house and their rules though. Deal with it or set your sails.

Probably not. And they find jobs in calmer setups or they get out of the kitchen. But for the rest, that isn't a deal breaker. If that's what you want to do then that's a likely way to have to do it.

The somewhat military order in a professional kitchen is by design. Order is important. I've gone through weeks of training in a fine dining kitchen and having worked in hotels I could look into busy kitchens from the sideline. Culture plays a big part. You can have a busy orderly kitchen without too much shouting and people not hating each other at the end of service.

A lot of the drama that happens between people, if it isn't stress, is the fact that advancement options are limited. The higher up you get in the hierarchy, the fewer jobs will be available to you.
