- Comment on Happier to use spices on tofu, beans, soy curls, and even sometimes the dreaded processed plant-based mock-meats (when they go on sale). 4 days ago:
I had an A5 (in the US though). Tasted nothing like people told me it would. But it was absolutely amazing. Never had anything that good. But cheaper steak with some seasoning was decently close.

Spices in quantity are generally used to improve subpar ingredients. If you get top quality meat, it needs nothing but cooking. But most of us can’t afford top quality meats all the time.

I guess I also discounted all the people using AI to generate the stupid report their upper management wants but never read. That really does improve their quality of life. :)
- Comment on I'm not sure they will 1 week ago:
Not sure who needs to hear this but… the average person isn’t using AI for anything important, nor likely anything that really involves much thinking. Heck they aren’t even choosing to use it, they are just doing a google search. Some of us use it for work. But for that case, I refer back to my first sentence.
- Comment on Not Enough Hate 4 weeks ago:
In a society where everyday, people are trampled on by a corporate first policy… they feel a need to try and strike back. So they do. Sadly it actually gives many of these horrible people joy to be mentioned at all. And it actually enables them.

Apologies. I got threads confused in my head. Some people really felt the need to make personal attacks for stating my opinion. This was not that thread.

Did you need an adjoining room for your kids?
- Comment on Going Back ↪️🏨 5 weeks ago:
Ok, so sharing my experience is bad? I never said that the things that happened to me happen to everyone. In fact in other threads I said most travelers are traveling dor business and not with kids. So the adjoining room and such doesn’t matter then, and is probably why plenty of people haven’t experienced my issues. But I’m the bad guy because I didn’t rip on airbnb or something? Ok. I thought this wasn’t reddit. My bad.
- Comment on Going Back ↪️🏨 5 weeks ago:
I am just describing my experience. Just because it wasn’t yours doesn’t mean it is wrong. Of course with an ego the size of yours, that is probably something you can’t fathom.

The gas one was a luxury hotel in Oregon. The place overall was nice. But very short on staff. And thenone person at the front desk was clearly brain dead.
The others… major chains here and there as well as mgm properties in vegas.
Most travelers don’t travel with kids. They are usually traveling for business. So they don’t have the issues of adjoining rooms, or having to put 3 or 4 people in one room. Even the “suites” often only have one toilet. That’s because they cater to the solo travelers, or couples. They don’t really want families.
- Comment on Going Back ↪️🏨 5 weeks ago:
Never had either of those issues. And never knew anyone who actually had those issues for real. Just random internet people who claim it happened. Though I do favor vrbo over airbnb. But I doubt it’s much different.
- Comment on Going Back ↪️🏨 5 weeks ago:
Well, vegas, Bellagio, vdara, aria… The gas issue was a luxury hotel in oregon. And outside of the gas issue, the place was certianly nice. Just brain dead front desk lady with no one else on sight.
Adjoining rooms. If you don’t travel with kids, you don’t know that pain. But 95% won’t guarantee anything. Of the 5%, they are always mysterious “sold out” of that thpe of room, though they have plenty of room empty.

Outside the US is different for sure.
- Comment on Going Back ↪️🏨 5 weeks ago:
Hotel: what do you mean you want guaranteed adjoining rooms. We don’t do that. You just have to roll the dice when you show up. Oh, and show up late, we will give you a room with the dumpster outside that gets emptied at 6am.
Also hotel when the room is in obvious disrepair: maintenance has gone home for the day (at the 4pm allowed checkin time), call again tomorrow to get the whining AC unit looked at. Oh and the windows don’t open and we don’t have fans.
Hotel: you want two toilets for your family of 3 since we can’t get you adjoining rooms? Ha ha ha. No.
Hotel: resort fees for the fitness room you don’t need or want. Yeah, those aren’t refundable.
Hotel: you smell gas in your room. That is completely normal, I with my degree in (maybe high school) am sure it is completly safe.

Have you ever listened to the actual lyrics of “the final countdown” by europe. Star wars is pretty much just like that. Nonsense.

- Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening? 1 month ago:
That’s not superhuman. It’s training. Before radar guns were so easy to get and such, they trained cops on estimating speed. And then they tested them to ensure their accuracy before letting them write speeding tickets. But now… they get the bare min training.

Yes, but in court, cops are given the assumption of higher accuracy. So they logically should be held to a higher standard.

Nah. Cops writing tickets don’t that leeway. If they aren’t 100% certain of an infraction like this, they shouldn’t be stopping the driver. His doubling down after being shown proof establishes that he is willing to lie.

I didn’t think flock was involved in that. The point though was the officer just plain lied, and when faced with evidence, he doubled down.
And yes. Officer need to have individual malpractice insurance in my opinion. - Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000.

They wrote the one armed lady a ticket for holding a phone in the hand that doesn’t exist while driving. So yeah. It’s gotten that bad.
- Comment on Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds | Nintendo says Switch buyers got what they paid for, urges court to dismiss lawsuit. 1 month ago:
I prefer they show their true colors in interviews. Makes it so much easier to not get the job. If they read your resume and gave you an interview but then claim you are under qualified, it is them who wasted your time.
- Comment on Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds | Nintendo says Switch buyers got what they paid for, urges court to dismiss lawsuit. 1 month ago:
Yes and no. It took a law suit to overturn the tariff. So a lawsuit against passing the tarrif cost to customers makes sense. Customers can say they only paid it because it was the law at the time.

Don’t forget taxes. All they have to do is “move in” for a year or so to get a massive tax savings on the sale.
