I’m mot convinced this isn’t an elaborate attempt at gaslighting me to think this game existed.

Every time I played a Pokemon game throughout the years, I thought “This time I’m going to fill the dex!” But there was always some you just couldn’t reasonably get so I always gave up. Big disappointment, it’s really the reason I didn’t play the last few.
It’s impressive you managed it in Gen 6.

If they thought it was an honor, why kidnap them? Surely they would come willingly?
- Comment on Paging SpaceCowboy 4 days ago:
I just feel like if they were acting honorably, they would have invited the victors instead of kidnapping them via what I assume was a cowardly ambush (based off the fact they have no memory of it), and freezing them until their loved ones were dead.

I watched the animated Predator movie the other day, and was miffed that
Tap for spoiler
they would kidnap people who won against their hunters, freeze them for who knows how many years (thereby effectively ending their lives as they know it) and bring them across the galaxy to fight for their lives again. Respect that the winner won you sore losers. Absolutely no honor.

Is the main image above this article AI generated? It feels like it but I can’t pin down exactly why.

I was also wondering why I kept seeing the same “Faith” email pop up over and over again. Makes sense if it’s a series, though I feel they should link to each other if so.

Tbh, if I saw my dad absolutely fucked up after hitting my cape pen as a teenager, it would probably have rattled me enough to make me stop for a few years at least.

I went to Wendy’s the other day, and they have this automatic pre-recorded English-fluent woman cheerfully ask for your order. While an actual person didn’t indicate that they were ready, I know they won’t do a second intro message either way, so I started to order. A heavy spanish accent comes over the speaker “Fucking wait, god.” My only thought was “Fair enough” and I waited.
Whoever implements these systems is crazy. We don’t pay people enough to be policed that heavily.

- Comment on What was your social media path? 3 weeks ago:
When I was in school back in the early days, I tried typing a random “wherearemypants.com” and it led to this forum run by some random guy in Texas for him and his friends. I made an account and just insinuated myself into this group of adults, and honestly, it was the golden age of social media for me. Absolutely nothing was monetized, just people sharing links and chatting about stuff.
Eventually he shut it down and I ended up on myspace>facebook>reddit>lemmy.

Early access doesn’t really work for me. I’ll pick it up, play at half-baked game until I run out of content, then never touch it again. I’m sure Valheim and 7 Days to Die are really good now, but my initial pass wasn’t good enough for me to ever say “Ah, let’s spend more time on another playthrough!”
Maybe other people get something out of it.

I’ve never put chicken stock in a rice cooker, but I kind of need to know.
I did steam some nachos in there one time. They came out perfect. When I excitedly told a few friends, they all universally gave me concerned looks. I decided to retire the recipe while I still had people around me who weren’t ashamed to be near me.

Reminds me of the story of the girl who worked at subway, and she would greet everyone with huge smiles except for That One Rude Guy, who got a completely neutral expression and no chat. After a few weeks of noticing his effect on her, he apologized profusely and promised to change his attitude.

You’re mostly right. They’re trendy with an app. Although their overpriced cookies aren’t great, they are fresh and therefore better than any you’d likely find on the internet.

When I was a teenager, I watched this hacking 101 show made by that Kevin guy from Tech TV and hosted on his own site. The first episode was about social engineering, no computers involved.
He demonstrated how to get free pizza. First, he awkwardly followed a family in and stood nearby as they ordered, then left with them after hearing what they got. Next he called in and was like “This sausage on the pizza we just ordered is too hard, might chip my teeth. Make me a new one.” Went in and grabbed the free pizza, then strutted out like dark spider-man.
I thought this was so smart. Told everyone who would listen to me about it. This was important! The world was my oyster.
Thought about it again a few years later “Wait, everyone knows you can get free food by being a dick to employees. Hell, the manager who gave it to him probably knew he was lying and thought making a pizza was less hassle than dealing with it. The reason not to do it all the time is because humans usually* have some sense of shame.”
*I say usually because some people simply don’t have any shame at all. I once invited someone from work out to lunch with me and my friends, and they left one small slice of pizza uneaten, asked for a box, and when it came they put their thick ass restaurant plate inside and stole it. While all of us stared on in horrified fascination.

I was at a BBQ place the other day and the most expensive thing on their menu was pork ribs + two sides for $23. Waiter was all excited “On Wednesdays we have beef ribs, you have to try it!” Tried it and was pretty good. Get the bill and it was $70 not including the sides, total was $95 before tip. At no point was the price disclosed to me before ordering.
Maybe if I had Kratos’ grit I would have just walked out.

I’ve heard people say Taco Bell is so greasy it gives them the shits, but I just don’t think that’s objectively true. You open up the classic bean burrito or taco and if anything it’s too dry, you need the sauce just to level it out. I’ve never actually known someone to have bathroom issues after taco bell. Real life experience just doesn’t agree with the joke.
I heard someone posit that people who say that are reacting to beans because they don’t normally get much fiber and their body can’t handle the sudden influx.
That said, taco bell isn’t good for the most part.
