Spearmint would be good too if you’re going for a slightly sweeter, less intense flavor than peppermint!

Oh, I wasn’t blaming you one bit. I was just pointing out how odd it is.
- Comment on Oh fuck no 4 weeks ago:
In adult-facing parts of the internet, including here, swears are typically used for an extra bit of “oomph” to spice up a sentence or make a point clear. (I know that there’s an actual word for this but I can’t think of it currently.) It’s generally considered neutering that spice if you censor it; case in point is this meme. It just tends to look childish or dumb, especially if the word is just vaguely censored like this meme here again. At least Grawlixes (“$#@&!”) have some mystery as to the word being said.

Every time a swear word is censored on the internet, a cat video gets a million views, or something like that.

Not to mention that they also incentivise players to spend real-world money by having their website have a secret club for whales (I think you need to spend either $1K or $5K in order to have the button appear) to spend even more money then they did to even gain access.

Not especially brutal, but a couple of the bands I’ve been listening to lately are Sabaton and The HU.

Well, it’s supposed to taste like instant coffee as found in WW2 rations for Americans, hence the term.

To be fair though, that’s pretty much any pharmacy system. I just switched my main pharmacy over last year, and it’s basically the same process.

- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 3 months ago:
I’ve noticed this on my TV’s YouTube app as well. It went from 15 second I shippable ads, to 2 ads where I need to watch at least one and only then can I skip, to sometimes at least 30 seconds before I can skip. It’s worse on the longer video essays that I like watching, where they say “Fewer ad breaks for this long video”, but in reality they have the same amount of ads that you need to watch more of to skip. I absolutely fucking hate it :D

Not the point exactly, by that’s not Gouda on the left; it looks like a mix between Swiss and Sharp Cheddar with the rind still attached.

So, if it were the original cells, then it would be autocannibalism, since these are cloned cells (from what I gather) it’s technically not the same thing.

- Comment on Bungie CEO faces backlash after announcing 220 employees, or 17% of its workforce, will be laid off | Pete Parsons has spent $2.4 million on classic cars since Sony acquired Destiny developer Bungie 3 months ago:
They do have a pretty sound reasoning for that though. Recoveries (which are services where someone better at the game than you logs into your account to play on your behalf) are a big thing in games like D2, and are also against their ToS. The tl;dr is that if you give your account information to someone and they play your game, and just so happen to cheat, that’s your fault for giving your information away.

That’s the thing, it might have been company funds. Back when Sony bought Bungie, they made a giant fund for severance in case of layoffs, so that devs would have a bit of a safety net if worst came to worst. Fast forward to October 30th, 2023, and that money is just… Gone with the wind. My facts may be a little muddled but I’m fairly certain that’s how it played out.
