| Topic | Customer behavior largely to blame for people quitting food jobs |
| silvergokuZ 12/07/21 4:45:56 AM #246 | The most complex I liked my order in say Subway was no pickles, grated not sliced cheese and toast for a few seconds less (so its not crispy) Most of the time thats ok, but some staff are on autopilot, As for adjusting prices I assume that goes back to the old pre 2000 days where people in businesses could override prices (more in things like furniture/electrical stores) to get a sale but so often what happened was people got friends to give them discounts, and bosses didn't like "losing" money --- The red car and the blue car had a race.

Attacking someone because they asked you to NOT put lettuce on a taco lmao I was stressed so that played a part (but was smiling and friendly) and it was at the start of the student holidays so obv they would be short staffed as many at that branch were students. The only staff I saw were at the cooking facilities and they only came across if it looked like there was a queue forming. --- The red car and the blue car had a race.

| silvergokuZ 12/05/21 4:04:27 PM #97 | I always remember an order I made years ago where I asked for no mayo (I am mildy alergic) on my burger, ordered a McFlurry, and a diet drink. They must of left it (and it wasn't busy and the days before delivery) waited about 45 minutes it came, drink was near half full and flat, mayo on the burger, the fries were cold and the McFlurry had no toppings on. I couldn't get the staffs attention to change it and just ate it. The removal of things like sauces seems to be what goes wrong the most and cold fries, too much hassle to ask them to change. --- The red car and the blue car had a race.

| silvergokuZ 11/16/21 9:46:12 AM #389 | I always remember 14 years ago a guy coming up to me asking if I had spare change, I said no but offered him some rolls I got for pennies at store and he was grateful and told me he found some leftover warm fries in a bin and he could eat them in that. That person was a real homeless person who was happy to get whatever they could. That's what gets me, sure I may be unhappy with a cheaper vacation and wish I had better but I appreciate I have one at all at same time --- The red car and the blue car had a race.

| Topic | If someone REFUSES to tell you their vaccination status, Do you ASSUME its a NO |
| silvergokuZ 11/08/21 9:48:30 AM #12 | Philip027 posted... Again, there's no real reason to say "none of your business" rather than just "yes" (it's drastically more syllables, not to mention needlessly confrontational), so I would still just assume a no here. It's more a lines drawn thing, and without knowing the way its said lacking in context. It can be asked in a way to bully a person, and/or by a total stranger. I asked a friend of mine if he had his yet, and for a while he didn't not as he was anti vax but he had various health issues and was worried, after a few months he got it as he decided the risk to him was low. People have boundaries, and its not peoples right to ask. I for example have seen the ones who had the vaccine go maskless or ignore social distancing as they say it no longer matters, so just because someone hasn't had the vaccine doesn't mean they haven't taken other measures. --- The red car and the blue car had a race.

| silvergokuZ 11/08/21 8:49:55 AM #9 | Philip027 posted... There really isn't any good reason to refuse to say it unless you haven't done it, so yes, I would assume that. I had mine, but if some stranger asked me then its none of their business. What right do they have to know personal details. It's different it it came up in a normal conversation though but still doesn't mean automatically tell them. --- The red car and the blue car had a race. Good old blue he took the milky way. |
| Topic | Anyone else notice that people have been using the r-slur a lot more recently? |
| silvergokuZ 11/02/21 6:09:04 AM #59 | I see "more" of it as I am from the UK and pre about 2005 it wasn't really used, we used one of two other slurs (one was the old word for downs syndrome accompanied by wrist movements and mouth sounds) the same word that in the US isn't a slur (an insult yes but not a slur) We have become more Americanised here, I mean I hear N E S for the Nes instead of Ness or S N E S for Super Nintendo and "Genesis" not Mega Drive and people talk about American gaming history not British/European as thats what they see from streamers. --- The red car and the blue car had a race.

| silvergokuZ 10/31/21 11:02:19 AM #20 | Even when its used "correctly" its actually often wrong. For example its used again people who may have something like aspergers as they are quiet or act different, they could be more intelligent than the normal person. Or someone with a lower iq could be skilled in certain fields just not very bright and get confused. Very few people actually are this. After it was out of fashion for a while, variations on autistic were used instead, like if someone was stubborn and the person arguing with them believed the person was wrong they were called the slur, I even saw a Youtuber with near 1m subs use it (he does use crude humour but that was actually offensive) People still think anyone with autism, aspergers etc are basically freaks/weird etc and think of the more extreme stereotypes when in reality its like most things you can speak to someone with it and have a normal conversation and not even realise. --- The red car and the blue car had a race.

Eventually moved to a village and had damp problems so bad eventually floorboards rotted, parents literally went without food to feed me, Lucky to have heating on 1 day a year Schools automatically putting the poor kids into the lowest intelligence classes and telling kids they will fail their exams and be a failure in life and claim welfare for rest of their lives, and we are all troublemakers, criminals etc. Is that the same as the US or better or worse? --- The red car and the blue car had a race.

| silvergokuZ 10/30/21 9:22:37 PM #63 | IMO as someone who grew up poor and cosmetically not now (I don't have a mortgage, I rent, I don't drive but I have a good amount of disposable income) If someone genuinely was desperate at MOST they should expect a lower tier holiday(or as you call it vacations) As in, growing up a holiday if I got one was in a small chalet or caravan, and parents cooked proper food rather than go out to restaurants. A good holiday would be rather than cook for ourselves paying for half board, and being able to get a train to local tourist sites, and in later years i'd add for me personally if I wanted a night out I could get a taxi home. If I really wanted a good holiday, rather than wait for one of the cheap months of the holiday seasons and find more more local, id pick one at other end of the country that normally may take say 8-10 hours by public transport and spend like 2 weeks there. I would still look for deals though. Expectations and reality are different things Going back about 11 years ago I remember someone actually having a heated rant about how that meant instead of having 3000 to spend for a fortnight "spending money" they only had 2000. 2000 is about 6 weeks income for a person working minimum wage NOW, and back then it was about 8 weeks income. --- The red car and the blue car had a race.

| Topic | Why we try to cheat in a really good game? |
| silvergokuZ 10/27/21 7:28:22 AM #7 | Well, as a kid I completed a lot of rpgs and before the days of auto saving/save states etc you could so easily spend hours grinding just to beat a little more of a game, in my 20's I started to at first cheat just enough to beat the grind (but the game wasn't one hit kills) often had max cash, then when I had less time in late 20's I had auto max level and recently gone back to cheat to cut down grind whilst also making the game fun without breaking it I remember infinite live cheats for things like bullet hell games, but considering many were designed to be arcade like where you add more cash for more credits/lives then its not necessarily bad. I never cheat at fighting games unless its a SNK tier end boss and even then only for that boss, outside of things like getting all the unlockables that often have crazy requirements. Side note, are save states a form of cheating? I know people who use them often and if they lose a life just load one from a minute or two back. --- The red car and the blue car had a race.

| silvergokuZ 10/07/21 12:21:53 PM #60 | Collat posted... Claiming that non-covid deaths are being recorded as covid and demanding to know the "real" cause. I am not saying that, I am querying if covid was the actual main reason, if it was a factor (small or large) etc. It was genuine curiosity and it was taken as anti vax because it didn't line up with a certain mindset. --- The red car and the blue car had a race.

I am unsure if you are writing that to get a reaction, but tell me where I gave a conspiracy theory? I have mentioned I had both doses of vaccine, covid is real etc yet somehow you think I am a anti vaxxer? It just seems more like as I haven't automatically acted like a certain mindset is the only truth I am treated like a bad person. I just think theres more to pretty much everything in the world, more than just one answer and so many individual variations. --- The red car and the blue car had a race.

| silvergokuZ 10/06/21 11:35:08 AM #43 | Gaawa_chan posted... I'm also autistic. A naturally curious person would have, out of natural curiosity, googled how people trace outbreaks to their sources. I don't know the meme, and I never once said or implied you were lying, you just seem upset and stuck in your own mindset and blaming me. I ask specifically as I know about something called "fake news" so I wanted to know your own experience I honestly can't tell if you just misunderstood and ran with it or just a nasty person. But to go back on you, can you prove your accusations against me outside of opinion? Because someone has a question or opinion doesn't make them a troll --- The red car and the blue car had a race.

So you just assumed. Clench281 posted... Jesus Christ this is the lowest effort to downplay covid's severity that I've seen in weeks. I thought we were past this shit. Rude, see above. Covid is real, deaths from it are real, but I do at very least believe theres a bigger picture, or those in power are intentionally being vague or in other words, I'm not the sort of person saying its all fake, we shouldn't wear masks etc. I wear a mask, had both doses of vaccine months ago (I actually phoned my doctor early on as I thought I was in a at risk group and was worried I might be missed out as I am under 50) The two responses there just create more hate and assumptions, I am from the UK btw. Gaawa_chan posted... We perform screening and contact tracing at my place of employment (it's an assisted living facility), which means we keep records of everyone who comes into the building, screen people for symptoms and such, urge people who develop symptoms and have been in the building to contact us, and trace who has been in contact with who if someone has COVID. We've had two outbreaks over the course of the pandemic. We managed to get the first one under control and no one died. The second one was a fucking nightmare by comparison, with 40 cases in total and 5 deaths out of those. I don't remember the exact breakdown but I'll estimate from memory and say that the infected cases were a little less than half the residents and a little more than half the employees. The reason I asked was for a few reasons, automatically we assume that a person who is anti mask and vaccine is the culprit when its so random to get infected they may be, or they may not be and people jump to the blame game, hence me asking to see if there was an actual way you narrowed it down. And the reason for the 2nd question is hard to word but because people generally do just blame covid and not anything else. I'm actually not saying they didn't die of it specifically, I'm saying theres a possibility it was something that pushed them over the edge, its like any sort of thing these days, if you aren't one way you are assumed to be another, Im actually open to listen hence asking questions. To all responses, think about that before posting rather than have an actual polite two way discussion it ends up more agression which can put off a potential supporter for your side of an argument, im still open but I do feel like I have been treated in a terrible way. --- The red car and the blue car had a race.

She's still regularly visiting and she's still anti-vax and anti-mask. An honest question. How do you know she caused the outbreak? What specfically did the people die of (as in an actual reason not just "covid") Not an anti vaxxer/masker here just curious when people make assumptions. --- The red car and the blue car had a race.

| silvergokuZ 09/29/21 6:03:37 AM #29 | Kinda I kinda had trippy dreams as a kid where I predicted events in my own future to perfect detail like I am in a specific part of a pavement, wearing specific clothes, specific cars go past and its a town I have never been in my life and they all come true (well at least until my late 20's when I had a traumatic incident in my life) I still can somehow in my dreams ask myself to remember "forgotten" memories from the past and get a visual and audio record of them. --- The red car and the blue car had a race.
