Phanatic posted:A second scooter has hit the tower! I heard on the radio this morning that there was this mattress store down in Florida that made two stacks of mattresses outside for their Twin Towers sale (all mattresses for the price of a twin size). Then for their TV add, they had two guys fall into the stacks, knocking them over, complete with screaming. As you can imagine, the ad did not go over well.

Zereth posted:They want you to think they said "Natural" without legally having to meet the legal definition of "natural" There is no legal definition of "natural," last I checked. It's a meaningless term. Maybe they've cottoned that people know this and are jumping on the new meaningless term bandwagon.

buddhist nudist posted:World of Warcraft solved this by having a wiki for story and lore, and an separate wiki for purely gameplay information so you'll always click on the site that specifically doesn't have the information you want. Uuuuuuuugh boy motherfucking HOWDY do I wish Bulbapedia would do this. Shunt all the dumb anime poo poo to a dedicated area, please! And I see Bulbapedia is not alone in this problem. That's just the one I've encountered the most.

Ghost Leviathan posted:They do? Try checking the drop-down contents tab. And there are seperate articles for the particular anime appearances. Where are you looking? Cuz I just checked Bulbapedia for a random Pokemon (Torchic), and all the anime and manga poo poo is in a big long list before you get to the game data. Even looking from the table of contents, the list of anime poo poo takes up more than half the screen, and my screen isn't small.

Phanatic posted:This is why baking recipes usually call out weights, not volumes: the actual amounts of stuff you're putting in are far more important for baking than for regular cooking. The only time I've ever seen a recipe use weight instead of volume is when I grabbed a British one online. Otherwise all recipes I've ever seen (US) use volume exclusively.

Phanatic posted:I've never seen a serious book of bread recipes use volume. Typically they'll use actual weights, or a baker's percentage, because that poo poo's important. You might see a recipe that says: Oh well that's different. You just said baking, not bread specifically. I've never tried baking bread.

It's the holidays so I've started hearing Coca Cola ads on the radio. Except they're doing their usual thing where they go "This holiday season, share a coke!" etc. Which is a campaign they've had for years at this point. Except we're still kind of in the middle of a pandemic, where people are in danger of DYING if they meet up face to face, much less share a drink?! I dunno, strikes me as rather tone deaf.

Detective No. 27 posted:They've had a variation of sharing Coke as their marketing for nearly a century at this point. They probably just went autopilot and this slipped past them because they laid off the guy who makes sure they don't do tone deaf or accidentally racist ads due to COVID cutbacks. Oh I'm sure that's exactly what happened! Which makes it a dumb move in marketing. I wonder if they have or will get any blowback from it, or if people will see it as a return to normalcy like that guy a couple posts up said.

muscles like this! posted:As someone who likes lime and hates green apple flavoring the change over has put me off a lot of fruit flavored candy. I don't know if this is confirmation bias or something like that but its funny how I only ever see people complaining about taking lime away and never anyway saying how they're glad they added green apple. I don't like lime flavor so I'm happy about green apple replacing it.

If anybody is wondering, and afraid to ask, the reason the six-stripe flag is not the way to go in 2021 is because the six-stripe pride flag is regarded as outdated. Modern pride flags are more inclusive. I asked some of my LGBTQ+ friends about it and that's the gist of what they told me.

After a couple you'd think they recognize a relationship between the Mrs' perpetually gravid state and Cratchit history of raw dogging.

RoboRodent posted:I really like neighbourhoods with themed street names. Maybe they're all trees, or all flowers, or types of rocks, or they all start with "Mc." I find it more charming than the alternative. There's a few subdivisions in town that have streets named after the companies that developed them. A friend of mine in high school said she used to live in a housing development where the streets were named after Tolkein characters. Her street was Aragorn Court, for example. But sometime years ago the street sign was stolen, and the replacement that got put up said "Aragon Court" and no amount of pleading to the town or whoever would make them correct this mistake. Tragic.

I think if you have to ask what the age of consent is, you've already lost. "How young of a person can I gently caress before I can get in legal trouble" is not a question you should be asking. Ever.

Like yeah the corner grocer is a 5 minute drive and I'll get my own dang regular groceries. But if I need/want stuff from the wholesale warehouse that's a good 20-40 minute drive, depending on traffic? Nah, gently caress that. I'll order that poo poo delivered. If that makes me a lazy piece of poo poo so be it.

Fruits of the sea posted:It's kind of a crossover with a youtuber niche that focuses on reviewing Disney resorts. These are people who travel around the globe just to watch live Mickey Mouse shows and eat fast food at Disney-themed restaurants for their youtube content. It's extremely weird. Like movie reviews, or restaurant reviews, they conceivably perform a useful function by letting people see what they're getting for their money so they can make an informed decision about whether it's worth it. When we're talking about Disney resorts and thousands of dollars, I'd say that's a pretty important function. And if people can get paid to travel the world and stay at Disney resorts, then hey, more power to them and I wish them the best in their job.

Desert Bus posted:Oh and people will 100% judge you if you spend food stamps on nice meat or really anything containing sugar. Cashiers will almost always scan down to the bottom of the receipt where it shows what your balance is too. What the gently caress. I worked at a wholesale warehouse all through college. Some time in they started accepting EBT and I got the little training thingy on how to process them, etc. iirc we basically just treated them like a credit card. I didn't give a single poo poo if people paid for their poo poo with an EBT, and I sure as hell never scanned the receipt to see how much money they had on it. I was firmly in the "minimize interaction" category. Just let me scan your poo poo, give me your payment, and go home. The only payments I would internally groan about were checks. I hated processing checks. It took forever and it was always the ancient old ladies who used them, who were slow in general. gently caress checks.

SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted:I never once looked at different cards and thought “oh a poor,” it’s a card, it works or it doesn’t. The people who had the biggest ugly reaction to having a card decline were never people who needed EBT though, it’s extremely telling. Just like people who would propose making EBT cards visually different because they’re convinced the petty middle school mentality is equal to their moral and/or religious beliefs and justifies treating others like garbage. Seriously. People need to learn to mind their own loving business.
