    This one isn’t even real. “Fewer” can only refer to countable things, but “less” can refer to both countable and uncountable things, and has been used that way for hundreds of years. It has never been wrong to say “less.”

    What the hell is up with the board and notation? The board is off by 90 degrees, the bottom left square should be black (unless we’re looking from the side, but the labels suggest we’re not, because the letters are across the bottom like normal). And then if you actually look at the file and rank labels, they don’t match across the board—the leftmost file is marked “a” on the bottom, but “h” on the top, and the ranks are the same way.

    They specifically designed it to annoy chess players, LMAO.


  • I’m not sure this tracks. If the unicorn-shoe-believer really believes in shoe unicorns, how could they not tell other people how to wear shoes? If they stand by and do nothing, then billions of unicorns will come to harm from people wearing their shoes wrong. If someone told me they believe in shoe unicorns, but they don’t care how I wear my shoes, I would suspect that they don’t REALLY believe in shoe unicorns.



  • It has been a long time since I worked at Mickey D’s, but my recollection is that if he’s on break and wants food he’s supposed to go to the counter to order. I would also have assumed “What’s fresh?” means “What’s up?” in this situation.

    But it’s also, like, not that bad? Unless coworker also has an awkward moment, the conversation presumably continues “Not much, I’m on break, what do we have that’s ready?” and then you tell him.
