How so?

this article is a year old but most of it still applies, although its made even worse now since for most restaurants delivery is the only option

https://thedigitalrestaurant.com/food-delivery-service-apps-problem-for-restaurants/amp/

in summary delivery apps are basically ripping everyone off, jacking up prices on customers, not paying drivers so they rely on tips, charging exorbitant fees of restaurants who may not even have agreed to being on the site in the first place, all while passing the buck of any negative experience to the restaurants, who dont even get the benefit of building a relationship with their customers

you should always try ordering directly from the restaurant, doing pickup instead of delivery if possible (assuming you care about keeping the restaurants you enjoy in business)

grats tc

did you guys have a honeymoon planned that you had to postpone or are you going to do something next year?

No, we hadnt really gotten to that stage of planning before covid happened. There is talks of us doing something next year but again, theres no way to know

we saved a shitload of money having a small wedding so can put that towards a Europe trip at some point in the future when we can travel again

ideally would like to go to primavera sound music festival in Spain but who knows

Weve known each other since we used to work at a grocery store ten years ago. Have always been friends but seeing other people and eventually it just kind of happened

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

No, see above, but before we started dating wed meet up together at bars after bad okcupid dates and commiserate

Pus_N_Pecans posted...

Oh nice! Did you have any special song requests for your ceremony? I know youre a music guy.

We spent a lot of time on music haha. Put together a pre-ceremony playlist, post ceremony, Cocktail hour, and a dance party playlist

we used a variety of genres but made sure they were all wedding-appropriate love songs (e.g. breakup songs or unrequited love songs were not used)

it was a fun challenge but we ended up with like ten hours of music haha

We were supposed to have our wedding in may. Didn't happen obviously

We kinda just wanna go to a courthouse and do it legally so it's done and worry about the ceremony later.

we had a 200+ person wedding planned for October with a band, but we canceled it because we just dont know whatll happen by then

we had considered just going to the courthouse, but decided a few weeks ago to plan a small ceremony with a small group (immediate family + best man/maid of honor).

so in three weeks we managed to throw together a small wedding, basically get it over with with minimal stress, but also make it special with people that are important to us

was a great day

We booked a local venue that usually hosts small local concerts, they had a capacity of ~100 but due to coronavirus they had a deep discount on events. We kept it under 25 people to be able to social distance.

TC I think stoner/doom metal is probably the most accessible way to get into metal. Generally heavy but the vocals arent always as harsh as what youd see in death and black

starting point would be something like Black Sabbath

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=boNNEoXdzIM

for me Mastodon was next, they do the combination of harsh and clean vocals without ever sounding too extreme

I liked the game overall but I dont think they did a good job making you sympathize with Abby. Shes pretty irredeemable even compared to Ellie despite helping the kids

i did like the ending, considering the paths they took to get there. I only wanted Ellie to not kill Abby for Ellies sake though, not for Abbys, and I think that was a failure on the part of the game

pacing was ehhh and the game was too long, they def could have trimmed the flashback parts in particular. Also could have used more actual traversal puzzles

biggest disappointment for me was that Seattle day one for Ellie was the only open section of the game. I really liked that aspect of Uncharted Lost Legacy and would have liked more of that. Also didnt like the extent the game arbitrarily railroaded you forwardfor a game where supplies are very important (on hard at least), its very annoying to go through a door and not be able to go back because reasons

8.5/10

Let this topic be a reminder that many of the conservatives and centrists posting here don't care about facts, science, logic, or reason at all. They are nothing more than convenient tools to use against strawman versions of liberals and leftists. The strategy of appealing to science is about making their opponents look unreasonable, it has nothing to do with the facts. As soon as all actual evidence goes against them, they'll switch to making unfalsifiable claims about scientists lying, being biased, scared, or being lied to by others. And if that doesn't work, they'll fall back to "common sense" and "it's just gotta be true." And when that doesn't work, they'll just fall back to saying you're biased or say that you believe the disease magically doesn't affect those with the right political views.

The actual evidence supports the idea that if you're outside, with high mask usage, the virus doesn't spread easily. It basically has a hard time spreading outside in general. The super spreader events we've seen have almost all been from indoor locations like bars, conferences, and work places. And this applies regardless of the reason people are outside. There haven't been super spreading events from the beach pictures everyone (including me) freaked out about. There haven't been events from the pool pictures that I crapped all over people for attending. And there haven't even been super spreading events that I'm aware of from the anti-mask/shutdown protests and I think those are the stupidest, most counterproductive things I've ever seen. So if I can admit what's going on here, why can't all of you?

The right has done an insanely good job convincing their followers not to believe in science

I may be ignorant but how is that different to an IPA?

actually historically saisons date back much further than IPAs.

so while I know what you mean when you say you want beer to taste like beer, technically saisons date back to the Middle Ages, so they have a much longer history of being associated with a beer taste

disagree. I think its the opposite. Theyre all making shitty light beers that are easily accessible to people who dont like the taste of beer. Generic light lagers and fruity ass shit that just tries to mimic blue moon or other light beers like bud light.

all these new breweries make like 4 different styles. - American lager, ipa, Pilsner, or wheat beers.

There are at least a dozen breweries within two miles of my house and I dont think this describes any of them

Then the protest helped contribute to the spike. How much doesn't really matter when the virus spreads exponentially.

Note that a spike is not simply the natural progression of the virus which would include a small amount of transfer between people at a protest

a spike is a large amount of increase higher than the trends would expect

No, the fact that it uses many elements of the Nazi symbology is what is damning. Looking right. Holding a circle. Wings straight out
