TopicCoke Zero makes diet coke obsolete

Aspartame does not cause cancer.

Diet soft drinks are bad for you, and they still mess your teeth due to the acidity.
They are certainly less bad for you than a full sugar soft drink. Stop altogether if you can, but substitute if you can't.

This is like vaping: Still bad for you, but better than smoking.

These topics always make me wonder how CE manages to forgive or forget people so often. Like, so many people here have done horrible thing or do something shitty and no one seem to remember a week later which always confuses me.
Mostly because it's very easy to not pay attention to who the heck anyone is on this place.

I feel like there was someone about 10 years ago who would basically talk about how he would pay random men for sexual favours, or for pics or their ass. And that eventually there was some blackmail or basically bordering on sex crimes.

In the context of the show, that's a tough enough question to the point where I refuse to answer, as they are all more-or-less equally likeable and unlikeable at various times.

Homer is easily the character who would enrage me the most were I to meet a real-life equivalent of him, though.

Seriously out here charging $150 for putting an IV in and hanging a bag of fluid?
$180 for putting on a CO2 monitor and a pulse oximeter? This is insanity.

I can tolerate the top line charges for the callout and acuity, but some of these "extras" are pretty disgusting. It's hard to imagine a high acuity callout doesn't just automatically require basically all of these other things. If you're still going to charge piecemeal for them, don't charge more for a higher acuity call.

Soft C from me. It's not as specific as that, but I almost always see it raised in relation to some kind of social minority being featured in the game. Be that a woman, person of a different ethnicity, gender or sexual minority.

I don't remember seeing people complain that Papers, Please - a game very much about life under an authoritarian corrupt political system - was "too political" or "shoving politics down the player's throat."

I do remember a group of people upset about the presence of a trans character in The Last of Us 2 being "too much woke politics in gaming," while making no mention of how the core of the game is essentialy a story about how societies can form and sustain hate, civil war and prejudice.

TopicA friend is naming her son Ryatt (pronounced Riot)
Sonic_Cannon
08/22/22 11:58:02 PM
#32
I've seen a lot worse when it comes to confusing names. IMO for a name the most important things for functionality are:
  • If someone hears your name, can they spell it correctly?
  • If someone sees your name written down, can they pronounce it correctly?
I don't think I would be a fan of a name that doesn't at least come close to hitting both of these criteria. Ryatt is pronouncable when I see it (reminds me of Wyatt, or the Hyatt hotels), but the problem would be going the other way. Everybody who hears the name is going to think it's spelled Riot.

Sonic_Cannon
08/20/22 9:32:39 PM

InfernalLurker posted...
I haven't bothered to check currently, but I don't think one really needs anything higher than 25k due to the weird inconsistency of what businesses accept (because they don't want to pay the credit card fees). I found that the really high dollar purchases have generally been with checks. I spent 80k in one year on misc. purchases which all have been with checks.

Home improvements through contractors which can cost 100k or more, you'll be writing checks. Cars, motorcycles, they all only accept cash/check or in-house financing. But then hotels and airlines have no problem with credit cards even when it totals over 10k. Appliances oddly enough, I was able to purchase 2 appliances totaling 20k with my credit card. And then there are businesses that give you 2 prices. One price for credit card. One price for cash/check which will be less than the credit price. These can vary from orthodontists to firearms to even restaurants.

To date, I don't think I've ever come across any reason to have 50k in credit card limit.
what is this 80s-ass place you live where you are writing people physical checks for... anything?

OT: 8k. Increased it from 4k so it could cover an overseas trip a couple years ago. It usually has about $1000-1500 on it a month.
