Pancakes are dinner, not dessert.

Hearing yes, but I was mostly wondering about the scam types it is used to run.

Is Starbucks trying to reach out to the elderly coffee drinker?

Yes, we get it, you're aggressively European.

Now please stop.

Sure, I could have left out the wrong. The second line still stands.

Thus there would be a database, containing that information, connected to the internet? I am not sure anyone should be comfortable with that idea...

Plain, sometimes with mocha.

That makes even less sense. Mocha is a quality of coffee and a wrong name for coffee with chocolate.

So coffee with an extra side of good coffee, or coffee with coffee with chocolate, neither make much sense.

And the kind of scams run on it, that a minute old account would send me a PM and in the reply invite me to "text" on "snap".

There was a discussion?

About it somehow coming to mean chocolate coffee in the US, whereas it is actually more of a quality thing named after a coffee growing region.

mocha flavored coffee pls

Oh noes, not this discussion again...

Also, if I put a syrup in my coffee, it is mostly hazelnut.

arv was watching snowflake mountain and this girl that was a vegetarian wouldnt wash dishes that had meat on them. The rest of the group applauded her for her bravery and heroism of being vegetarian

Job or in private? In either case, if you really are that averse to meat, do not work with meat, or hang with meat eaters.

Then I quickly recall that she's Ukrainian and ESL so it's really not that bad at all

Misnaming, outside of accepted nicknames, is bad. Once accidentally is fine, but a prolonged usage does suggest a general state of disinterest.

Since Civ 6 came out.

OK that's fair enough I guess. I edited to remove ambiguity (hopefully)

Great! Now we can have the discussion on celiac sufferers pretending to be more special, kinda ruins the situation for other allergies and intolerances? (I kid, we do not have to, but you specifically calling out celiac does remind me of it)

To give a more serious answer, unless someone is insistently moaning about food differences or maybe when the food they do choose, has a smell that clashes with everyone else's food in a very negative way, why would it ruin "the mood".

People genuinely being extremely picky can be a problem though. Which could easily make them bemoan any and all food. The easiest solution is to just not give them food anymore and not to fuel their drama.

you didnt respond to my question you just took an opportunity to "correct" someone in a very asinine way, which is silly cause I put a catch all at the end of the list because I wasn't going to list every dietary intolerance rofl

This might be a cultural thing, but only the food intolerances caused by diseases, are diseases.

Cruciferous posted...

But I don't like that we're supposed to treat them the same as people with allergies, celiac, or other diet affecting diseases.

There are more intolerances than just celiac.

Thankfully she ended up just choosing off the a la carte menu for a separate dish SO AS TO NOT MAKE IT EVERYONE'S PROBLEM. But it ruins the vibes of KBBQ!

Coming from a family of bourgondian meat eaters, where no one was ever bothered by family members turning pesco- or even vegetarian, even at the family BBQ. All I can say is you are definitely overreacting and this is purely a you issue.

Only PS5 and PS4 for now? Guess I will be waiting a long time.

On a side note, I could 100% believe that the threat was staged to try and win the company sympathy points and diffuse the backlash.

How? People are perfectly capable of seeing when both sides are in the wrong.

Peace and merger between the US and the USSR in 1990, now that was some high expectations.

Wait, Tales of Arise DLC?

I am getting weird flashbacks to Another Code, that make me wholly uncomfortable with that pun.

Neither did I, guess that means I am getting the Steam version after all...

Oh wow is it any good? It didn't look like what I was looking for in a Suikoden successor so I kinda forgot about it for a while. Really looking forward to the full game though

I 100%ed it, so at the least I loved it.

Just be aware, it is a Platforming Sidescrolling 2d Action RPG, not a Turnbased RPG like the main game.

Decent remakes and ports. That was about it.

Somehow Nintendo got to be the one to announce the official release date for Eiyuden though.

CyborgSage00x0 posted...

Tis the season of strikes. Bring it on.

Does that make it weird for me to be happy to finally have a job?

Far-Queue posted...

I think they pulled a Bloodstained and announced a companion spin-off to the Eiyuden Kickstarter so I wasn't sure if it was the spin-off they showed or the real game

The spin-off Rising released a long time ago. Got the last achievement for that over a year ago.

Like I said, Another Code.

Guess PotD no longer cares about these, shame.

Another Code being the highlight of the Direct, did not have that on my Bingo card...

While awaiting the Mario RPG remake, the big announcement, is another Mario RPG remake? Boo!

Did Nintendo just get the scoop on the Eiyuden release date?

The beast is called Willem? That is rather mundane for such a monster...

DOTA style is still popular?

Edit: is that Xemnas as narrator?

Another Code? I only ever played the Wii sequel (prequel?).

Both? Nintendo just won E3, again.

What did I miss, just a bit of Splatoon trailer?

Laundry is done in 24 minutes to hang out, perfect timing.

Youtube UK Direct prepared in a tab.

Apparently Playstation is also doing their thing tomorrow.

Is the Tokyo Games Show or something similar going on right now?

Given that the CEO has been selling off a bunch of his shares lately, I think a destroyed reputation might be exactly what they're going for.

Honestly, torpedoing your own company, kinda feels like it should be considered insider information trading to me.

If it hampers my understanding, yes. Ultimately that is all that matters.

adjl posted...

they aren't the ones being hurt, so they have little incentive to see it as a problem

They are opening the doors for accusations of false inflated install numbers and making it so outside forces can actually artificially inflate those numbers, is just asking to have your reputation destroyed.

Next chance, Fire Emblem 3 Hopes DLC go!

I can foresee people just reverse engineering the signal that tells Unity of each install and then just set up bot farms to just keep sending that signal.

This is just such an easy to exploit concept, that I cannot imagine anyone at Unity would not foresee it...

Because it is about awareness, not about making money. The price for the plastic bag is symbolic, not for profit.

We can buy fabric shopping bags in England. I don't feel the need though as they are more expensive than plastic ones.

You can always use the ones that allow a free replacement. One time payment and then you can freely keep exchanging it.

argonautweakend posted...

but no more packing your items in plastic for free by default at least.

So they are catching up with about a decade ago?

Wait, for clarity, banning plastic bags, or banning free plastic bags?

I've heard enough Reddit stories on Youtube to know to warn you to keep an eye on your stuff and your bil.

They actually want to shovel up a shopping plastic bag up fully with their pets excrement?

The baggies intended for it are small for a reason...

Paper bags and other kinds of biodegradable bags exist to deal with pet messes.
