There are low sugar ones that still taste good but aren't as terrible for you. Good vitamins too. My wife swears by them while breast feeding. On days she drinks one, her supply doubles.

im not sure about body armor, but with Gatorade I definitely prefer the low sugar ones. Full sugar Gatorade is like drinking syrup to me, its way, way too sweet.

maybe in UK

here in america chains are definitely cheaper, or some of them are, in my area i can get a large 1 topping for 8 bucks from dominos, from a a local place thats easily 9 or 10 bucks

I dont know if its specifically where I lived in the UK but in Suffolk the local pizza places were the most absolutely abysmal pizzas Ive ever had. The crust and toppings couldnt even compare to Red Baron. I eat plenty of bullshit food, but the pizza over there is legitimately the only type Id describe as cardboard with tomato sauce on top.

Pizza chains are one of the most depends-on-where-you-are chains there is. In some towns, Pizza Hut is the best. The quality varies so much from store to store and town to town you cant really say one is the best, all you can say is one is the best in a particular area.

You have to be a special kind of asshole to threaten a baby because his mom, an actress, played a character you don't like.

There's an army of losers on the last of us 2 subreddit that still bitch about the game daily. I just can't imagine being so wrapped up in getting everything I want that I'd still be furious I didn't like a video game four years after it was released.

I'm curious what a veggie burger of theirs is made of. Also oatmeal and chocolate chip in one cookie? Some interesting choices they're making.

Their veggie burger is actually really fucking good. I get it sometimes just to get it, I'm not even vegetarian.

That kind of thing does actually happen though. That is the lived experience of many people. Why should it not be fair game to make a video game about a common lived experience? Especially if it's a game set in the real world modern day?

To add, from my limited experience with the game (I've only played the first episode) the racist MAGA white guy in the first episode is directly contrasted with a non-racist, non-MAGA white guy that helps you escape from him and then helps you find a place to stay. So far the game is very explicit that white guys aren't the villain, racists are.

sometimes the white man is bad though. Gortash is a fucking necromancer man, hell kill us all

Ive been going back and watching some older SNL episodes (started in the mid 90s and am up into the 2000s now) and the show is pretty much as good now as it was then. Theres a LOT that just isnt funny, but theres usually one or two decent to good sketches an episode and Weekend Update is usually the highlight, same as now. I dont think anyone on the cast now is as funny on their own as Will Ferrell, but the episodes themselves are all pretty much just as funny.

Yea, I think american comics writers have adapted by just retooling existing characters for name recognition. When it works, though, you get stories like Heart of Ice from Batman: TAS which fundamentally reinvented Mr Freeze into the most compelling version of the character.

It happens across both Marvel and DC, but I find it particularly funny when you search for a popular DC character on wikipedia only to find out that they're like the fifth person to use a particular persona and there's two or three lesser known guys that used it after them. I feel like Marvel retools characters more often and just switches up their personality while DC likes to plug in new characters entirely.

Its only an issue for some comic characters these days. But the reality is that it all springs out of government censorship and then later industry self-censorship in the form of the Comics Code Authority.

Here in Australia we didn't have separate channels like that back then. We frequently had shows from both of those channels aired back to back on the same network.

thats sounds pretty sweet. Was it like an all star channel with the best of both or was it random which ones they chose to air?

I was always solidly a Cartoon Network kid, but there were a few Nickelodeon shows I really liked to. I mostly disliked Disney Channel outside of the original movies.

You're not a 90's kid unless:

- You were born no earlier than 1971 and no later than 1976
- You have a VERY strong opinion on Nick vs Cartoon Network
- You do not own anything that isn't neon.
- You owned a SNES, a Genesis and a TG16.
- You have memorized the entire scripts to at least three Tim Curry movies.

If you meet ALL of the above criteria, you can apply to be a 90's kid by writing to the address all 90's kids know. Many will enter, few will win.

Dude if you born in 71 you weren't even a kid in the 90s lol

Broccoli is designed to be eaten, even though to kids they think its poison. no parents feeds their kid veges to make them sick, intent is a good diet

Again it comes down to intent, her intent was to make the bully feel discomfort to stop him from stealing her sons lunch.

and obviously the school should be handling bullies, but they dont.

she made a salad dressing dude

I clear my cookies everyday, so when I see the frontpage after that, it's all from no history and no login. And it's all brainrot bullshit >_>

Well yeah lol you're forcing the brainrot to stick around

NeonOPPAl posted...

Yeah I agree with this. Youtube does have some great resources for projects and hobbies tho. But you gotta be searching for it. The fresh front page is always full of the stupidest brainrot bullshit

That really sounds like you're watching brainrot bullshit then. When I open youtube the videos on my homepage are gardening, bonsai, ted talks, a couple of podcasts I listen to in the background and some live music performances. Never am I recommended Logan Paul videos or something from other random youtube celebrities.

The same with TikTok. I thought it was all kids dancing bs before I used it, and within an hour the algorithm had sorted that shit out.

I didnt ask why. I asked what you actually meant when you said it didnt work. That makes no sense to me.

after reading their last post it just sounds like they cant commit to anything if they think they can develop any skills. People can move around in wheelchairs with nothing but their breath, he just needs to actually try and commit to something.

We have a stationary bike that gathers dust instead

no such thing as a cheese-it either lol

I used to think it was 100% necessary and I still prefer to use it in my personal writing but Ive gotten really used to dropping it when using AP style for work, it forces me to approach and rethink sentences differently a lot of the time.

He beat the shit out of a dude in a seated crowd too for talking shit. Little different, but the point I'm making is even aside from Sean there are dudes out there that train and then go out talking shit trying to start something. We can't pretend every fighter is out there at zen all the time like a Buddhist monk

all that aside I wanted classify the scuffle with Dricus as Strickland beating the shit out of him lol

Sneasel finally became useful. ...In the same generation that it got a far better evolution, but hey, points.

Of course, Dark should have never been a Special type to begin with. Just as Ghost should have never been Physical.

ghost being physical makes even less sense when you think about how ghosts are incapable of physically attacking something because they dont have a physical body. In the same game where I ghost cant be punched by a normal Pokmon, a ghost can physically beat you up.

I really like the no-mascot naming convention, it sets the teams apart from other leagues and just sounds cool. Like, I love that my local team is Austin FC and not the Austin Bats or some other dumb mascot.

side note, MLS merch tends to be way better than other leagues merch. Theyre the only ones not making the same tired old huge snapback hats that add six inches to your height.

It's sad how people are so focused on less exclusives being a bad thing even though it's only a net positive for gaming as a whole.

All of those exclusives being stuck on PS2 and PS3 over a decade later aren't doing much nowadays.

I think a big part of it is that people might feel regret over their purchase. I assume lots of people bought a PS5 because they thought it would be outright better than whatever the new Xbox was. The reality was, they're pretty much the exact same thing aside from the handful of exclusives, so they latch onto those to justify their purchases when they see things like Gamepass or Xbox fans with good enough PCs not even having to purchase a new console.

I didn't buy either console personally, but I'm sure there are plenty of people that bought one or the other and is just looking for a reason to justify why they paid for one $500 console and not the other that does the exact same thing.

They rebranded as "Max" and have a massive streaming platform.

not quite, HBO is still a thing. Its old streaming platform was called HBO Max and its currently on the streaming service called Max, its still just HBO. Even when the streaming service was HBO Max, there were shows that were exclusive to Max and were never shown on an actual HBO cable channel.

very easy to confuse though, WB really tanked the HBO brand in recent years by associating it with Max and all the bs shows like thousand pound sisters on that service.

It was fun to play, I just didnt particularly want to lol

Everyone I work with has the same schedule.

then I would assume they have a specific reason to say it to you. Maybe because you work an abnormal schedule they think youll forget and are reminding you, but I dont think many people are actually approaching you and just saying its Friday with no context lol

Man when stavesacre broke up back in 09 that shit hit hard man,

Day it came out? Probably one of the Smackdown games in the early 2000s, most likely SYM because I didnt have a PS2 when JBI came out. Those were the only games I would wait for every year and I would ask my mom to get it for me while I was at school so that she had it when she picked me up. I think she got me GTA San Andreas like that too but those are really the only games I begged for day-of. I would even bargain with her and be like look, I saved up $20 in change and that covers almost half, so it doesnt cost as much as you think!

And 99 percent of the military are pogs? And even infantry units have a slight chance of seeing combat if theyre deployed. Why are you just sitting here lying lol. Especially these days when theres extremely reduced capacity of infantry in the Middle East.

he said the military not, deployed special forces in gunfights. The reality is. The majority of the military is standing around rooms chilling stateside

shut the fuck up

I wouldnt necessarily say that, theres a ton of people that think dressing like Julien from Trailer Park Boys makes them look cool

Noname13 posted...

It is inherently more dangerous and its not like a gotcha. Its weird that youre not rationalizing this. The military is currently in peace mode. 99 percent of the military is stateside in bases. Like what are you talking about? Do you think its the movies? Do you think the whole military is just out there in constant gunfights? Majority of the military jobs are not combat jobs. The people seeing combat are specialized units and its still not what you think either.

Its not like a bragging thing. But the nature of the work of a patrol officer is inherently more dangerous than an 18 year supply specialist in the army stationed at fort bliss

youre a fucking moron if you think anyone is talking about pogs when discussing how the military is more dangerous than being a cop

Noname13 posted...

His department held him accountable and his use of force was deemed unreasonable. In this call, they arrested a suspect for a weapons violation and placed him in the car. As he walked by he thought he heard a gunshot. Witnesses said they thought it was a gun shot too. So he used force, its just not the same as if some person in another job used a gun. Like a drive thru employee deciding to start shooting. Because his belief was he was discharging his firearm as a matter of an approved use of force. Its a different standard

He obviously is an idiot and needed to assess his threat and after each shot

and yet if I or anyone else walked out onto my front porch, got startled and started wildly firing a gun at my neighbors homes with no concern for what I was hitting we would be in jail. I wouldnt be allowed to choose to just quit my job instead, and for good fucking reason. I was trained to use guns to fucking kill people with in the military, I know the damage they can do and I know the damage that just blindly firing at nothing can do and its pathetic that you think because youre a cop you can just get away with blindly firing a weapon in a residential area. Shut the fuck up and stop commenting on matters you should no better about.

Youre really on CE complaining about some other place having angry weirdos?

I've had the misfortune of being around a younger crowd lately and it's always "N-word what!" or "N-word you crazy" or "N-word please"

and its a bunch of white and hispanic people, in their late teens or early twenties.

at first I thought maybe this group was just the exception, but I started watching streamers on those omegle-like sites and almost every person they meet on there just casually drops the N word in casual conversation.

I finally feel like I don't understand youth anymore.

your answer is in bold. All it is is young idiots who youre fortunate to not be around much, these guys have always existed.

Nah, people generally like Brittany. Taylor will be forgotten as soon as her spotlight ends. Brittany has had like three meltdowns and we are still here for her lol.

Thats all well and good but her spotlight has been burning since 2006. Im 34 and first heard her on the radio 18 years ago. If you think anyone can be as astronomically as her and theyll just be forgotten in a few years youre deluding yourself.

Idk, most parents who choose home school are not for religious reasons, though?

youd be surprised

yeah there were a decent amount. Saw a few in the hallways, but most were in the locker room or on the practice field where kids could get away with it without being punished.

Whenever I hear people complain about tipping DoorDash drivers all I can think about is how they were probably the one house on the block that didnt tip their pizza delivery guy in the 2000s.

In no world will I believe 1 in 10 people can bench 2 plates.

99.99% of women definitely can't for starters. 99.99% of children couldn't (maybe a few 17 year olds with good genetics)

Even 1 in 10 adult males is far fetched. Some guys are just naturally gifted and maybe can do it without training but there's not enough men that need to train for it that actually do. I specifically trained for it and only got to 200 though I have a bum shoulder that probably limited me.

This is all mostly true but the bolded portion isn't really saying anything. You may have trained for it, but the actual training you did and where you started at is so variable that it essentially means nothing. You could have started benching 45 pounds once or twice a week, but someone else that would starts able to lift 135 a few times consistently a week is gonna have different results, and he's also gonna have different results from someone that trained exactly like him because genetics is an even greater variable we have to account for.
