WTF, is this 1995? Fuck links that open in a new tab or window. Thats what right click is for. Why would I want a billion tabs open? Rustled.

Hagglers period. The price was listed. Is this a goddam third world country? Are we squatting in the dirt arguing with natives over the price of bush meat? No? Then fucking pay the listed price and shut up. A lot of the things that enrage me, I look at my reaction and go "that was maybe a...

I dunno, I've had some of the Starbucks instant and a bunch of different kinds in Australia (Australians often tried to convince me it was an acceptable choice). I can't put my finger on why, but they all just taste fake. Better than nothing, and I'd drink it if there is no real coffee available...

If surviving the apocalypse means I have to drink instant coffee, I'm out.

Moved twice cross country with PODS, much cheaper than Uhaul. I think it depends a lot on distance. Short moves I think truck is always cheapest.

You'll also be shocked to hear that many black women have curly hair WTF is it 2008 in here?

Every child hates onions. I have never understood why. Onions are great, raw, cooked, whatever. And an absolutely essential part of cooking. Cooking without onions is like cooking without salt. Or butter. If my kids know something has onions in it they're all "ewww onions make me some without...

Yeah, I think people forget what grocery stores used to be like. Especially in a small town. Likewise haven't seen it since childhood, I always assumed it was an old-school poor people thing rather than a deliberate decision.

Thing is, theres dark chocolate and then theres pure fucking cacao that is disgusting. Whiskey makers don't advertise "OMG my brand has more alcohol, buy it". Coffee makers don't advertise "OMG more caffeine, buy it". But for some reason chocolate makers think 86% cacao is a selling point...

I feel like you're trying to set up a punchline here but I'm not sure what it is.

Ha, fair point! I stand corrected. Still rare but not zero.

Yeah, agreed. But it'd be 100x better if they just did the obvious thing directors have done for decades -- text on the screen. "Five years ago". Its like they've all decided they're gonna do it some artsy subtle way and it always fails. I can't think of a single split timeline movie or show...

I'm mostly really enjoying this. Never played it or read the books so I spend most of the time a little confused. Time jumps without "5 years later" text can Fuck Off. Gerald is great. I'm confused about Yennifer, they write her as if she's supposed to be hot post hunchback but cast her...

I dunno, I've had about 6 and only one of them has ever needed work again. Most of the time IME they are the final solution to problems with a particular tooth. I appreciate that about them.

Yeah, this is my biggest password complaint. Half the sites that require passwords I would literally be perfectly OK with no password whatsoever. It just doesnt fucking matter so much of the time.

I know people my age that still can't handle passwords. I think it's a specific mental deficiency, not age.

I swear that either there's been an arms war in headlight brightness or people have started installing the wrong bulbs in their headlights. Because lately every time I drive at night I swear half the cars I encounter are driving around with their fucking brights on. So I do what any normal...

Fucking hagglers, I share this jimmy rustle. I've come to learn that when someone tries to talk me down from the asking price theyre gonna be a pain in the ass the whole transaction, so I just say its sold.

Forgive me for being unclear What I meant was, all this crap on YouTube videos.

After all the city loving in this thread the only things that I miss even a little are the restaurants and having a diversity of high speed internet options. I don't have to drive more than 20-30 minutes to get to the full range of normal stores, which is a shorter drive than in most cities I've...

I want to believe, and find it interesting regardless of truth (of course it's probably not, but still) I just can't get past the immutable law of literate societies that anything worth knowing will be written down.

WTF, cranberry sauce is awesome. Even foreigners who don't know Thanksgiving food have loved it IME. Why do you hate sweet tangy deliciousness?

Ive only had brisket in TX. Ergo I've only had amazing, melt on your mouth, falls apart when you look at it delicious brisket Like my turkey

Now that its expanded to "what do you like about city vs suburbs etc" Every city smells fucking terrible. Just not fit for humans to breathe. In NYC it was predominantly the smell of piss. In LA it was exhaust and garbage. Where I live, the air smells like air with an occasional whiff of tree...

IMO a town with population 600 (where I live) is a pretty different category than 10k, needs a <1k option! The 2 mile radius rule is funny in my case... I dunno, probably well under 100.

My turkey was awesome. Slow roasted, just the basics. As tender and juicy as brisket. I'm convinced somebody's cooking turkey wrong if they don't like turkey, cause every year I go damn, why do we only eat this once a year?

Yes, and if its content worth finding it'll be in a written form.

Ya know, whenever I criticize Facebook someone brings up a legitimate and normal use for the platform. None of which changes the fact that Facebook has been a net negative, a cancer on society. So is YouTube. We are rapidly approaching a post-literate phase of Western society, and YouTube bears...

Yeah, but Miles Teg.

I wouldnt say struggle. More like kept trying to see past the over the top, everyone is basically a god, power levels to find the interesting story I kept reading people talking about. Was never able to find it. I dunno, maybe I should try them again, its been about 10 years. I listed...

Not to worry, our superiors in Hollywood have decreed that "acting ability" is all that matters. Elric will be played by a teenaged Afrcan American girl with a spunky attitude. Cause she has "acting ability". These books were too over the top for me to even get into as fantasy, and I generally...

Never had the honey but Australian butter tastes like distilled asshole. Uniquely, memorably terrible.

We cured the first two of picky eating but damn, no. 3 is winning so far. A daily battle right now. So nice looking at the first 2 and knowing she's likely to survive this phase.

Bland food. Like for example sandwiches in grocery stores. It fucking offends me that someone used up perfectly good resources to produce something so tasteless. A little salt and pepper, a little salad dressing, it could be a perfectly valid if ordinary sandwich. Instead its fucking garbage...

All this talk about being unable to browse from work cracks me up. Corporate culture sounds like Saudi Arabia or something, WTF. Can't imagine if they tried that shit in academia.

I actually got a smartphone to use only as a camera. I tried it on that. My actual phone (which hell yes is a flip phone: the pinnacle of cell phone design that will never be topped) doesnt connect to the internet. Cut me a break, its probably the longest message I've ever typed out on a phone!

Checked it out on a phone to confirm. Fuck this shit.

I'll never understand the appeal of browsing the web on tiny ass screens. My monitor in 1998 was 3 times bigger than these things, WTF? Phones are for calls and text if I have to.

Trapping and killing racoons with my son after they killed our chickens was some good quality time. But yeah, raccoons are never ending. Had to secure the coop to end the problems. The season we lost so many chickens, I saw a pack of 5 raccoons (mom and mostly grown cubs), I shit you not...
