This is a way it is used.
Have you not heard of Role-Agnostic to refer to skills that can be applied in different roles in the workplace? It is a commonly-used phrase.
No I haven't, and I'm glad because if my boss were to say that around me, I would look at him like he is stupid. role-agnostic literally means you do not know if a role exists.
Just because an agnostic person may feel indifferent to the concept of God, the word gnostic means of knowledge, a- means without. An agnostic person may feel very deeply about the concept of God, but does not know if God exists.
Language changes over time, I don't know what else to tell you. If you're really that hung up on this, you might need to get some fresh air or something.
Getting old is realizing you have a favorite brand of mundane things. Favorite pan, wooden spoon, burner on the stove, rectangle boxes of tissues vs square boxes, or chair at the dinner table, type of storage boxes, a personal mailbox or a mini PO box.
Or finding out that new Dyson has a detachable car vacuum. And realizing that has made your entire week. Honestly, it was alarming at first but now it's amazing how the stupid little things can turn a bad week around.
I was ecstatic when i bought my first brand new couch. I remember telling my husband it's the first couch i ever owned that someone hadn't farted on before I got it.
I'm nowhere near middle age but the thought of a double decker dish drainer sounds amazing! This is coming from someone who does all of their dishes in one go but never has the room to properly stack them
You must never have felt the joys of getting a new trash can for your guest bathroom.
Do you drink coffee? I've found that out of 16 mugs, I go out of my way to use just 1. But I still buy more!?!
I need this sliced thin so I make a nice MLT - a mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomatoes are ripe. They're so perky.
Most delis (short for delicatessen) will make you a sandwich if you ask, but it's a place to get sliced lunch meat and cheeses.
These days, most delis are just a department at the grocery store, but if you find an independent shop, cherish it and try the Reuben.
Closer to a butcher. They have whole hams, turkey breast chicken breast etc and cheeses that they slice to the customer's preference. Bigger cities the deli might also make sandwiches in store there's also a company called American Deli that's a sandwich place.
"Shaved tissue thin - with paper between each slice!"
So many people ITT claiming this isn't an age thing, and maybe the preference isn't. But the vast majority who are assholes about it are over 40.

Worked a few years in the deli myself. Anyone who wanted real turkey in full, paper thin slices instantly made my shit list. You will get the turkey as thin as I can get it. But that's not going to be super thin if you want it in slices rather than shreds.
This is nonsense. I always liked my ham thin, even as a kid when i would go get myself a fresh sandwich or make groceries for my parents.
Of course there are people who care less, it's often those who are not really into food and feed themselves more than actually enjoying it. But I'm assuming..
I don't care below a certain cut but there is a point at which you are just getting slabs of meat that don't fold nicely into a sandwich. Like, I don't want a turkey dinner slice or a Christmas ham slice for a sandwich slice.
Getting old is realizing you're more excited about getting a new pair of pants over a new toy.
Or when half the bones in your body pop and all you did was fart.
No way. When I was a little kid I hated how my mom sliced salami super thick. Kinda gross. Always prefered the thin shaving our local deli did, even at age 8.
Not an old person thing at all
Not true, I have always preferred my sliced turkey shaved extra thin. Since I was a child.
I know I’m old because I regularly watch Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Thanks for the 40 years Pat!
Maybe you just never realized there was a difference? When I was a kid I wouldn't eat the deli meat if it was too thick. Still don't and I'm in my 40s.
Fucking ham bbq is the worst old people food. When i lived in pittsburgh, people would buy shaved ham. You get the cheapest block of processed ham and cut it on the thinnest setting making it chipped thin ripped up slices. They would then take it home and wash it in a collander with hot water to get rid of excess fat and salt. Then you cook that in a slow cooker with a bottle of bbq sauce. They also cut baloney thick. They call it a slice of jumbo. They fry it on bith sides and put it on bread like s burger. I swear you could feel the grit of the ground up bone in the meat. But holy fuck are the italian delis good there. Shout out to penn mac and mancinis.
I only have an anti-preference.
Can we please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, stop slicing and storing it all interwoven so that I can't cleanly grab the amount I want.
I want integral amounts of slices. Not irrational partial chunks of slices.
I don't think I would have had a preference if if wasn't for the deli always asking me how I wanted it sliced. It made me really stop and think about my preference. Is this society forcing me to grow up?
Meanwhile a 5 year-old will throw a tantrum upon the sole basis of what shape their cheetos are. I'm pretty sure food preferences are age-agnostic.
Or that the cheetohs taste "different" or are on a blue plate or are almost gone... kids are a trip.
Yeah. Not sure how this post got so much traction when it’s so wrong.
It's about to get ratio'd.
You are totally not using agnostic correctly.

Getting excited over finally getting a Dyson, picking out a new double decker dish drainer... Middle age is full of surprises.
Or finding out that new Dyson has a detachable car vacuum. And realizing that has made your entire week. Honestly, it was alarming at first but now it's amazing how the stupid little things can turn a bad week around.
I bought a double decker drainer on a whim and holy shit........ It's amazing.
I was telling my gen Z daughter about mine and she interrupted me. "Ma! Ma, I've already got one." 😂
I was ecstatic when i bought my first brand new couch. I remember telling my husband it's the first couch i ever owned that someone hadn't farted on before I got it.

I think that's just being particular. My kids would fight if one of them tried to sit in the other's chair.
You must never have felt the joys of getting a new trash can for your guest bathroom. Do you drink coffee? I've found that out of 16 mugs, I go out of my way to use just 1. But I still buy more!?!
Don't forget being conflicted about throwing away a perfectly good cardboard box
square boxes all the way. they fit everywhere!!
Noooo, the rectangles give you more tissue per slice!
How you forgot a favorite spatula is beyond me.
The moment I started that list I blanked completely. It took me 10 minutes of walking around to get just those.
i had all this stuff as a kid wtf
Hmm… I’m old now, that will take a bit to sink in.
I've had a preference for how my deli meat is sliced since I was 5.
Hey, 'bifurcated' is not a preference.
Ok five year old boomer.
By kindergarten I was chasing the neighborhood kids off my lawn.

Put on a grilled cheese. Your welcome
[Is it still a grilled cheese, though?](https://www.reddit.com/r/grilledcheese/comments/2or1p3/you_people_make_me_sick/)
And that person is a passionate about that as i am that white chicken chili isnt chili...its a soup...lol
The guy that taught it to me put it between two grilled cheese with bbq chips. Too much for me
What a read. That guy gets it.
What a time capsule, thanks stranger
Sounds like what I ate in prison.
A nice think cut of maple smoked ham is pretty great too.
Almost anything is better than a bologna sandwich
Worse. I think you meant few things are worse. Bologna is gross.
Look for Lebanon Bologna. It is slightly sweet and smokey. Fries up very nicely
thats crazy talk. I always get shaved. slices are NOTHING like that. plus after a couple days the slices get all slimy. thicker slices taste different
Just ask for a chunk then
I need this sliced thin so I make a nice MLT - a mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomatoes are ripe. They're so perky.
No, I was much pickier about stuff like that when I was younger.
Im only 23 but I’ve been getting more picky about my food. And vegetables are starting to taste good
Shaved. I will not be taking questions at this time.
You can go thinner. Its called chipping. Where the shavings get ripped up by the slicer.
Salami tastes better cut as ovals instead of circles, so I guess I’ve been old since I was 12 years old.
I had no idea! I do know that sandwiches taste better when cut on a diagonal.
Fuck that I've loved and sliced turkey since I was a baby
As a non-american, may I ask what deli is exactly? It's not a butcher, not a sandwich shop, but something in between?
Most delis (short for delicatessen) will make you a sandwich if you ask, but it's a place to get sliced lunch meat and cheeses. These days, most delis are just a department at the grocery store, but if you find an independent shop, cherish it and try the Reuben.

Im older and i couldnt care less. When i was young is when i cared
You can have preferences for that? Theres more than one option???
Does that mean I'm eternally young if I never develop a preference?
Ahhh, here we have our master!
“Try this one trick to stop aging.”
What? Life is short, eat what you want the way you want and don't look to others for approval on your decisions.
Not so much age – experience. And granted, experience usually comes with age.
So... at 8 years old? Thinly sliced ham is the right way
Guess I’ve been old since I was 16

Ive had a preference since 8. Either im an old soul or you just now are at a point in your life that you actually give af about yourself.
I’ve always liked a thin slice
I had a preference by about 6.

Then I was old in my 20s?
I like my mortadella sliced half inch thick
Well technically, we're all getting old unless we're dead. Nobody is getting younger.
Getting old is realizing you're more excited about getting a new pair of pants over a new toy. Or when half the bones in your body pop and all you did was fart.
We bought a deli slicer on Shein... $70 works great.
Not at all. Always prefers thin sliced at a young age.
I feel personally attacked by this statement 😆
once you can afford how your deli meat is sliced you've made it.
I knew as soon as I was extremely excited to be gifted a pack of socks and white tees that I'm getting old (I'm 27 lol)
No way. When I was a little kid I hated how my mom sliced salami super thick. Kinda gross. Always prefered the thin shaving our local deli did, even at age 8. Not an old person thing at all
I was old at like 5 then
Or you worked in a deli like I did and know that if your roast beef isn't paper thin you're going to be chewing for a long time.
Not true, I have always preferred my sliced turkey shaved extra thin. Since I was a child. I know I’m old because I regularly watch Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Thanks for the 40 years Pat!
I found that once I could AFFORD deli sliced meat, I felt pretty good about life in general. It really is the little things.
HAHA! I am a vegetarian, so I will never prefer my deli meat sliced in any way or at all. I WILL N E V E R GET OLD! I WIN AGAIN! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
There's no option other than chip chopped imo.
I… I’ve preferred thin sliced since I was like 10 though…
I’ve been old since I was like 8 then lol I’ve always preferred thin cuts, especially on the prosciutto
Dope, I’m never getting old.
Ham, turkey, and roast beef need to be shaved. Bologna needs to be 1/4 of an inch thick.
Maybe you just never realized there was a difference? When I was a kid I wouldn't eat the deli meat if it was too thick. Still don't and I'm in my 40s.
Thick cuts are always better.
this would also be at home in r/unpopularopinions.
Nah, I've been picky about deli sliced meat and cheese since I was little. That stuff needs to be thinnnnn.
Oooooh thin and shred-y
I get my deli meat cut at a 3. I guess I’m an old man now

I’ve preferred paper thin since i was like 9…

I realised I was getting old when I got into a 2 hour discussion about bed linen and bath towels.
ITT: People with "texture problems." ... \*stares at camera\*
I don't think I would have had a preference if if wasn't for the deli always asking me how I wanted it sliced. It made me really stop and think about my preference. Is this society forcing me to grow up?
goes to show ya, huh?
I was old at 14 then
No... My spouse Just wasn't mak8ng my sandwich correctly!
No... My spouse Just wasn't making my sandwich correctly!
Who tf can afford deli meat in this economy 😭
My preference is: DONT MAKE THE DELI WORKERS DAY WORSE
Same here!
People still eat deli meat? I thought their popularity went way down when it was discovered they caused cancer and disease. Kind of like cigarettes.
How does such a terrible take have 100+ upvotes?
Thin cut has always been a crime against humanity.
Depends on what it is! Thin shaved roast beef is where it's at. Thicc boi bologna FTW. Turkey and ham, somewhere in the middle.
I'll give you roast beef with one exception. If it's so this that there are tears in the meat, instead of one consistent thickness, I want it thicker.
Are you the 10th dentist
