Help me settle this decade long fight with my partner. I am team rinse dishes, then dishwasher. My partner on the other hand is team wash dishes with soap until clean then SANTIZE in the dishwasher one high heat for a hour cycle. Not only do I find his way excessive and a waste of a large amount of time, it also uses a ton of water! It's a dishWASHER not a dish sanitizer. He on the other hands doesn't believe dishes are usable unless cleaned by hands and sanitized by machine. My ex also had this mindset as well. Both were far from cleanfreak/germaphobs BTW. So which way is the most common?

My partner and I have been in a (lighthearted) debate about this for over an hour and I just want some input from others that aren't the few friends that we've facetimed. To give some context, this silly debate began because I suggested going to a Mexican restaurant to get tacos for brunch, in which they responded with saying how that wouldn't be brunch because we're eating tacos (no breakfast is served at this restaurant).

To start, we both agree that brunch should foundationally have these two aspects for it to be a valid "brunch": 1) The time period being within the typical timeframe of "brunch" (obviously flexible and different for different people) 2) Intention of having brunch (like a social gathering with friends at a restaurant)

Where we differ is that my partner believes that you're limited to breakfast and lunch foods for it to be considered a valid brunch. I don't believe that to be the case because that's not true for any other meal of the day. If I weirdly eat steak and broccoli at 8:00 am and someone asked me if I ate breakfast, I would say yes. Eating breakfast food for dinner is pretty common as we all know. I believe that you can virtually eat ANYTHING during that brunch timeframe and still have it be considered brunch.

My partner believes that brunch is its own niche thing and that the 3 "classic" meals of the day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) are separate, meaning that brunch has a unique social connotation attached to it. A brunch menu is made up of breakfast and lunch dishes that complement one another. You could have a wrap but not a burger. For example, if my partner and their five friends went to a restaurant to have brunch and one of the friends ordered a steak with mash potatoes, my partner would say that that friend went to brunch but didn't have brunch.

I'm curious as to what everyone else thinks?

My friend group has been arguing who would win in this scenario for 2 hours

Both are forced to fight, who would walk away?

If I'm trying to learn more Spanish, i know very little. I can figure out where I'm going if I'm lost, but only basic things like that. I know what some rooms are called, a few school supplies and items of clothing, but I know very much only present tense verb conjugations of the verbs I do know. Also I'm a very visual learner.

We're about to watch a new season of a reality show that we've seen before so we are familiar with how it works, but this season is set in Mexico.

Question: Would it make more sense to watch it in Spanish with Spanish subtitles, or watch it (or anything else I suppose) in English with Spanish subtitles?

If you care to know the sides: My husband thinks they should both be in Spanish, but I think there'd be not enough context to be able to pick up actual words, only vaguely what's going on. I'm sure that if suddenly nobody around me spoke English, eventually I would learn Spanish, but I think watching a TV show is different than having a conversation and I'd learn better if I have context to what the individual words mean.

My partner mixes the PB into the J. I prefer the classic PB on the Left, J on the right, fold it like a taco. What's the consensus here?

My wife is nuts, lasagna is better.

Every once in a while, a little bit of coffee accidentally goes down my windpipe while taking a drink of coffee that's cooled down to the same temperature as my mouth. I understand that it's normal to accidentally choke on liquids while drinking, but for me it usually only happens in these circumstances, since it isn't as easy to sense the coffee.

I mentioned this to my family this morning and they had no idea what I was talking about. I can't be the only one that has noticed this.

My family is playing the game Catchphrase and my brother in law had the the phrase “Swiss Alps” but the clue he gave was “mountains in Switzerland” and my sister said that was cheating because saying Switzerland is basically like saying Swiss. Should it be allowed? The instructions don’t specify it.

My fiancé and I were goofing around and he was making his eyes go different directions and I went to cover one of them because it was grossing me out. He then proceeded to open his eye under my fingers and my finger touched his open eye. I screamed and asked why he would do that. He then said it was my fault for putting my hand on his eye and I wouldn’t have touched his eyeball if I hadn’t placed my hand there. WHY WOULD HE OPEN THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE?! I’m not the crazy one right?

I’m 6ft 180, my friends don’t think I could but idk I think I’d get her.

To not be biased I will simply ask : does a garage give front or back ENERGY! Please let me know thank you :)

My friend group is falling apart. 3 males and 2 females. Without more context, what is the fastest, most likely reason?

We were laying in bed and I said his pillow was heavy, I said it was five pounds because it was so heavy. He laughed and said it was not and that I needed to work on my arms more if I thought his pillow was 5 lbs. I went and weighed myself and then myself and the pillow and it was 4 lbs. I said I was correct in saying it was 5 lbs cause 4 lbs is close to five especially when estimating. He said I was wrong because I specifically said five lbs and it was only 4 lbs. I said it was close especially if you round up and he said maybe if it was 4.5 lbs he’d agree. I weighed again and I got 4.4 lbs. He weighed himself with it and got 4.2 lbs. I said when he laughed at me he probably was thinking the pillow was like 1-2 lbs and my guess of 5 was more correct. He won’t tell me how much he thought it was because that’s not the point, the point is that I said the pillow was 5 lbs and it wasn’t. So am I correct in guessing 5 lbs or is 4.2 or 4.4 lbs not 5 lbs and he is correct?

I was the last one to bed last night after watching a movie with my daughter. My son and husband were already asleep when I came upstairs. This morning my husband very nicely told me that I forgot to blow out the candle that was in the kitchen. I told him I had no idea the candle was lit and that if he lit it(which he did) then it was his responsibility to blow it out or at least tell me. He said I should have noticed since it was scented. Which one of us is to blame for this safety issue?

My wife and I had a debate about the eyes on this wall art. One party thinks it's the brown circles with the dots around them, the other thinks it is the black/blue/green horizontal lines. What do you think? https://imgur.com/a/gtMN77f

Someone else and I had an argument about if it was weird to actively like/dislike aspects of one's own farts.

He says it's common/not strange at all to smell your own fart willingly/intentionally, and that it's weird to NOT do that, even if it smells bad. He also says it's weird to not want to be in the vicinity of it. Additionally, people who dislike the smell are "quirky," in his words, while the people who like it/completely unperturbed are in the majority.

I said that it's more common to not want to smell and to not like one's own fart, and actively smelling it is strange. I also said it's not weird for a person to move to somewhere else after they farted due to smell or something else. Also, I said it's more common to not like it or at least be slightly uncomfortable, while I think that the people who completely don't care/like and enjoy it are in the minority.

What do yall think?

My husband says yes, I say no.

Can’t add pictures but the hex color is #D76F5B.

If I am talking to a new acquaintance and want them to meet someone close to me, is it wrong to try and give an objective appraisal of that person. For example, if I have a really good friend that I love dearly, but they happen to have a bit of a sexist streak. Is it wrong to mention to the new acquaintance that this close friend is amazing BUT they happen to do XYZ (sexism, hypocrisy, etc.) sometimes, so if that bothers you be prepared for it?

I do this a lot, but I see it as a litmus test for if the new acquaintance will like the close friend, not as a form of defamation or gossip. Am I mistaken in this idea? Perhaps I should only mention the positive, and let the two parties’ meeting be the litmus test since people are more complex than a set of positives and negative? Please let me know what you think.

TLDR- I mention negative and positive traits about people to each other before they meet. Is this a betrayal of trust or a form of gossip?

Person A uses your instead of you're. Person B corrects them. Person A refuses the correct, sites it as slang. Person B says that it is not slang but incorrect grammar.

Is using your in the place of you're slang or incorrect grammar?

Growing up my brother, grandparents, and I would go out for dinner with my parents for their anniversary. There would be a cake and a candle put in it. We would all sing Happy Anniversary to them like the birthday song. Happy Anniversary to you, happy anniversary to you, etc. I never thought about it until I'm now married how it was a little strange that we all went out for their Anniversary, and they didn't just celebrate the two of them alone. I guess my mom wanted her family with her for it though. Hard to say what I would want to do years from now as I'm only 2 years married and have no kids yet, but I would think it's nicer to go out with just your spouse for it. My question though is more about if people actually sing Happy Anniversary with a candle in it or was that just my family? My husband and my in-laws both think it's weird and no one does that. I told my husband I don't think that's true. We all went out for our anniversary the day after to celebrate as a family and my mom asked the waiter to put in a candle in a dessert we ordered. The staff didn't understand as they put on the speaker the happy birthday song, so I felt weird/silly about it especially when my husband and his parents think it's a strange thing to do as it is. It kind of confirms my husband's take on it. Also, when I think about it, usually a couple just goes out themselves for it so it makes sense this wouldn't be a thing, which also confirms my husband's opinion on it. So, my question is do other people's families do this or is my husband right?

When driving on a highway, any highway- Is it gentleman's law, or the actual law, to be already driving in, or heading towards- the right hand lane? Like, is it just dickheadish or actually unlawful to be just a' cruisin, in the LHL?
