Pegging isn’t a replacement for a prostate exam any more than getting punched in the tit is a mammogram, despite the similar sensation. Get your butt (and your boobs) checked.
- Comment on Stellar Blade coming to PC in 2025 1 week ago:
I’ve had such mixed results with that. On one had it works but it’s rarely a smooth experience. Too many 2d elements blended into 3d and suddenly I’m standing half way through a menu with no way to select anything and a cutscene is running 6 miles away clipped through 17 levels of assets.

Well it’s Unreal, so expect shader compilations and micro stutters, as well as a host of graphic options that may or may not make a visual difference, but will randomly tank your fps for no reason.

I enjoy the subtle throwback in the sequel where Malcolm says, “What is this, some kind of Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World?”

I just watched Alien: Resurrection for the first time last night. You can really see the direction Whedon was going with that script.

Nothing. Just Harmon virtue signalling.

I’m getting downvoted by the same people who think that it’s OK to pirate all the current running TV shows and movies. Everyone is selfish, everyone wants it for free.

It’s not that they don’t want members, it’s that people assume all unions are massive machines capable of turning your life around in a second, where in reality most of them will give you some legal packets so you know your rights, and a pat on the back if you take your employer to work. There isn’t a large restaurant union in my city, just a few small ones that are focused on single businesses. We all have to start somewhere, but just up and joining a small union isn’t going to help when the owner of the business can just let you go and hire someone else who isn’t unionized.
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 2 weeks ago:
You heard it here folks, it’s just that easy. Unionize today! Sure there is a well established Union already in your area ready to take you on and fight for you and your $15 a month in dues! Go gettem, tiger.
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 2 weeks ago:
It’s a VAT, but it’s a choose your own VAT, and it’s based on what the service is worth to you. The customary amount is 20%, but a lot of people go between 15% and 20%, with my average take home being around 13% because of the people that don’t tip. So, choose your VAT. In the end, when adjusted for the cost of living, eating out in the EU is about the same as eating out in the US and adding a tip. The tip is just already included in the meal cost. If we could all agree to do that in the US, then it would be fine, but we can’t, so it isn’t done. It’s part of the establishment at this point, and change is something hard to sort out across 330 Million people all at once.
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 2 weeks ago:
As someone who works in the service industry, this is the argument that I see all the time. “We aren’t going to subsidize your wage because your owner is an asshole.” Weird, you have no problem being a patron of his establishment. Do you think that your refusal to tip somehow hurts him? Because it doesn’t. It only hurts the staff. My argument always has and always will be that we increase the cost of menu items by 18% and then split that additional 18% with the staff. However, that idea always falls flat with the owner because, “We’ll be the most expensive restaurant in town. No one will come here.” Which is a valid concern. And so, we are at an impasse. He can’t afford to pay me what I’m worth, and he can’t increase the cost of the menu or he’ll outprice his customers, and I can’t quit because it’s not better at any other restaurant. In the end, in any direction, the customer is going to pay more, either as a tip, or just for the cost of the food, or they’ll pay with worse service because the experienced staff can’t afford to work there anymore. Refusing to tip isn’t a protest, it’s just being cheap and making yourself feel better about it. If tipping went away, prices would have to increase, and either way, the buck stops with the consumer. Want to eat cheaper? Cook at home. I’m sure you’ll be just as good as any of your favorite restaurants with their specialized equipment and cooks with a decade of experience.

Shit. Pick a character from Crono Trigger. Citan from XenoGears. Teepo from Breath of Fire 3. I mean, I could go on and on… There are so many classic companions in games. I can’t pick one, and I’m not sure I trust anyone who can, especially when there is bioware money being thrown around.

As someone who loves hot sauce and smokes menthols, I’m dubious. Maybe my hot sauce is too hot, but it will completely negate the menthol. I haven’t tried it with Altoids or anything, but I don’t know…
