- Comment on Dubai chocolate has to be the most obvious industry plant of all time 4 days ago:
The product was created in 2021 by a confectioner named Sarah Hamouda, who took her inspiration from a pregnancy craving for chocolate combined with pistachio and enlisted the Filipino chef Nouel Catis Omamalin to concoct the recipe.
Really, though, “created” is a strong word, since people across the Middle East have been making pistachio sweets for centuries, so “popularized” would be closer to the mark. Initially, the product wasn’t called “Dubai chocolate” at all, but the clunkier and more annoying name “Can’t Get Knafeh Of It,” after the “knafeh” filling.
Hamouda’s company did business in Dubai in relative obscurity until 2023, when an influencer named Maria Vehera—whose content revolves around trying different foods and restaurants in the United Arab Emirates—went viral with a TikTok video about the candy. Other influencers copied Vehera, as they do, and before long Dubai chocolate was a full-blown fad.
Seems to be a natural occurring fad.
- Comment on Leaked Mass Effect 5 trailer is being "re-scored" by one of the original trilogy's composers, so folks can get a taste of his musical vision for the game 1 week ago:
Pointless hyping for a game that never will be. Mass Effect is not as anticipated as it would have been before Andromeda.
- Comment on Mass Effect 5 was named Universe partly because it let players generate alternate timelines based on their choices in previous entries, technical director says 1 week ago:
No it didn’t.
- Comment on "Most people" at Bethesda wanted to make Elder Scrolls 6 before Starfield, claims Skyrim co-lead, but Todd Howard dragged them aboard his rocketship 1 month ago:
He went fully Molyn aud with Fallout 76 and “16 times the detail” - a meaningless stat for an empty game.
- Comment on "We don't like your kind around here" 2 months ago:
Was that recognition attested to by all the racist organizations? Amazing the cooperation of a vast nation, the size of Europe, working together to end racism for just a few groups. Wait, that makes no sense because racism isn’t coordinated. GTFO with that revisionist nonsense.

I don’t want to fix her. I want her to break me. We can pick up the pieces together

Remember when Republicans at least tried to look competent at economic issues? What I wouldn’t give for a William F Buckley figure to punch holes in the costumed fascism that is happening now with incisive conservative ideals. The Republicans need someone on the inside to point out how bad for business, people, and the economy as a whole Trump is.
