'what else is out there for me'

I swear it feels like he has been in 50% of movies the past decade.

I went to see the Odyssey on opening day of this most recent Spiderman movie. That day you could not see any movie in that theater that did not have Tom Holland and Zendaya in it.

Lol Thanks. That joke saved me from having to look up who the fuck David Draiman is.

The people running it have been sniffing their own farts for too long.

I agree in most other situations. It just feels unnecessary for cutting food right before eating. The fork in your right hand stabilizes the food being cut. The plate is usually very stable on a table. Of the countless times I have cut myself with a knife I was using for various tasks. Not once has been while cutting food on my plate while eating it.

I am convinced the safety argument is merely an attempt to justify something that is simply a table manners thing decided arbitrarily by some bored noble. The other excuse I have heard for it is that constantly having to put the knife down, and switch fork hands, slows down how fast people eat.

Not a musician, but same. My left hand is perfectly dexterous enough to handle cutting pieces of food being held with a fork in the other hand. Its not surgery. I don't need my piece of meat to be cut to mm precision.

I don't do that though. Fork is always in my right hand when eating. Only time that is swapped is if I am carving a large chunk of meat to serve.

I remember being taught to do it the way you described. But its stupid.

This never made any sense to me. I'm right handed and use my fork in my right hand. It should go on the right side of the plate.

Just because some aristocrats made up some bullshit about "etiquette" hundreds of years ago, doesn't mean it makes any god damn sense, or that we should have to still follow it.

A false flag attack on our warships is an American tradition. It's how we start our best wars.

People always point out the irony of driving to a gym to ride a stationary bike. But one of the primary reasons people do it is because they don't feel safe riding bikes on the road with all the cars. Its an onion of irony.
