Oh shut up with that nonsense. Everybody here has gone to boards they regret being in. That includes you.

You regret going to a board.. so that board deserves to be closed down because you didn't like it and won't be going back?

I'm signing up to discord. I really didn't want to because I prefer the forum style over chats (and prefer gamefaqs in general), but we have no choice at this point.

I'd join a discord server for our lost board. Wouldn't be too hard to DM folks with the invite.

Buncha cowards running Fandom

I've begun to dip my toes into CE. I used to enjoy simply reading the Politics board but gamefaqs owners insist on making poor decisions.

Working retail doesn't make you hate the thing you sell.

It makes you hate the general public.

While I don't hate the thing my store sells, I certainly don't wanna partake in it anymore. Seeing the regulars everyday is depressing af (I sell depressants so it makes sense). I don't hate the public either. Bad folks are often just a vocal minority. People are generally good imo.

Sounds tasty. I'll have to keep an eye out.

But I'm not about to tip well for a horrible experience.

If I'm making the decision to eat out, I'm gonna give them a decent tip regardless, in cash. American capitalism is parasitic af lately. Bad service is often not intentional but your recap certainly frames it as such. If your table was neglected, that certainly seems like something worth bringing up to the manager. Leaving more than a dollar tip tells them they still did something worthy. You should've just left a piece of paper noting the faults in service and food quality.

If you really want to hurt them, not coming here at all hurts worse than being an active user who just uses adblock.

It wouldn't be hard to organize a collective action; like scheduling a weekend where we don't use the site.

*customer whining*

I love Red Robin. If you're not being offered something you want, speak up and ask for it. I see so many whiny customer reviews about being "ignored" when said person simply can't be bothered to initiate a conversation they desperately wish to have. The conversation being: "Can I get some more fries/water?" Instead, it's about the whole restaurant ruining your dinner. With an attitude like that, they probably didn't expect a tip from you anyway, so why put in the effort for nothing? Save that effort for tables that tip.

A small tip only signals to them that you're cheap. It doesn't actually communicate what went wrong with your dining experience. I've never wanted to be a server/waiter because it really does seem like a most exhausting job having to deal with cheap, whiny folks.

Hope it doesn't melt your brain I'll be thinking of you good luck

This was years ago. No lasting effects.

Plenty of people use drugs and go on living just fine. We make a big deal when drug use goes wrong but we don't think about the countless people that do drugs and are fine, which likely outnumber these unfortunate incidents.

I had fun when I tried it. Wish I had planned it a little better. Work the next day was difficult, but no real regrets. Would try again.

Live outside in unbearingly hot/cold weather without being able to get a house to give you heat/air conditioning for 3 years

This one has been bothering me; seems like certain death from the elements. You say it's unbearable, which should mean that it'll kill you in a matter of days/weeks.

They really shouldn't.

Why not?

thats the worst version of the game, stay away from that one, the load times are really bad

Is that it?

I just have difficulty getting into JRPGs. Funnily enough, I own the PS1 version. I'll try to play it again sometime..

I need to make a routine. Also been meaning to buy Ring Fit for Switch.

Media is too broad of a term to simply choose a place on a spectrum between trust and distrust. There's all kinds of media but I'm gonna guess this is about news. And that'll depend on how it's curated by the individual.

Been sober (of alcohol) since late January. Gonna drink today and treat myself. Then back to sobriety tomorrow.

I only saw it for the first time last year. It was alright.

Smoke weed instead

-Mega Man X series. I'd played some basic NES before that (Super Mario/Duck Hunt, Outrun) but MMX on the SNES really boosted my love of gaming. Mega Man 7 was also a driving force.

-Kirby Super Star (SNES). Just an awesome game with co-op option.

Stephen R Donaldson's Gap Cycle is a great read imo.

I wanna see Love is Blind Japan.

Shit. I'mma have to watch that sometime.

Crow please. Gonna chill with my murder.

Most reality tv imo. I watched Survivor occasionally when I was young, and the most recent thing I watched was Love is Blind (just the first season).

I think the problem is simply schadenfreude. Your entertainment and enjoyment is coming from a negative source. You're not a bad person for watching but if it's a heavy habit, I feel like that could warp your brain.

It seems kinda weird to me for any single person to celebrate it but if you aren't hurting anyone then do whatever you want

I think it's only weird because the holiday is dominated by the idea of only celebrating couples. It's weird to me that single people are just supposed to accept that exclusion. Single people are just as valid. The holiday itself is just like every other capitalist holiday, meaning go out and spend your money on mediocre service.

Usually noon/early afternoon if I'm showering that day. Not sure which fits better with the polls options.

Bedding is gonna get dirty regardless: Dead skin, dust, sweat, etc. For those who go to bed with a freshly cleaned body: how often do you wash your sheets? Seems like you're just gonna pick up whatever filth is on your sheets unless they're also freshly washed.

My whole thing reads as a giant advocate for Mega Man Legends 3. I will never be over what they did back then, ever.

I never bought a 3DS after that shit happened.

I don't understand what they are asking.
But I don't see an option for "Stop putting stupid DRM in your releases" so I can't vote.

I'll be celebrating single people because they're valid and don't have a holiday.

The Apple is a must watch imo. 27% on Rotten Tomatoes. It was written in the late 70s, came out 1980, and the movie takes place in 1994. It's a dystopian musical.

There'd be some squabbling over which time zone would be used to schedule meetings, since officials far away from that time zone would need to work nights, but otherwise everyone could just work from home and there's no need to establish a single city to be the heart of the world government.

What if it were two capital cities for Earth instead of one? They could be antipodal so the time zones wouldn't be an issue.

Anyone who has been paying attention to TC and noticed how they interact with others, including myself, should be able to tell how "tongue in cheek" my post was.

I'm not reading every post of every topic. This site is a bit of a circus, so if someone's acting like a clown, I'm gonna assume clown. Regulars might know but most won't.

/s is great for sarcasm imo.

marthalies posted...

My post was dripping with sarcasm.

It wasn't.

It's very rare for anyone to have no status symbols at all, given that pretty much anything visible is a status symbol in some regard. It is, however, very common for people who don't care about status symbols to put no particular effort into acquiring them, so you've got a bit of a chicken-and-egg thing going on there. Automatically ascribing that apathy to jealousy just seems like you're insecurely trying to justify your own obsession.

You can, however, buy (or steal) quite a lot of things that can make it easier to get into and maintain good physical shape. Gym memberships, workout equipment, clothing (running shoes in particular are an inescapable cost, if that's your activity of choice), a healthy diet, supplements, personal trainers, steroids... Even just the simple time/energy requirement has an indirect financial component in that having the spare time and energy to devote to regular exercise relies on having the financial freedom to not have to work too much. Same with the educational resources needed to find and curate workout advice.

That's not to say that somebody who can't afford anything can't get in shape by finding a big rock and lifting that (though even that relies on having spare time/energy, which isn't free), but to act like money isn't an advantage when it comes to fitness is just straight-up dishonest. You may not be able to buy fitness directly, and you'll still have to put some effort into it regardless of how much you spend, but you can absolutely buy shortcuts.

Solid response from this poster.

I mean, that depends heavily on your genetics.

This whole post is good, too.
