Paying hospitality workers a proper wage and taking the onus off them to hustle customers for tips to survive (and off customers to pay them) DOES work, America, we promise you! - lots of other countries

Oh man, this game. Remember how your love interest very conveniently got her dress ripped open when she was being murdered so there she was dead on the ground with a sword through her and her tits out? I ironically loved this game in all its shameless stupid glory, but that was just gross and stupid, even more than…

Yeah it’s still not easy to get your hands on a console here. 

Don’t be a nice guy, be a good man. 

Reminder that the best Matt Damon (and Ben Affleck) related thing is the play “Matt & Ben” by pre “The Office” Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers, in which they play Affleck and Damon respectively. The premise is that they’re a couple of BFF bit part actors hanging out in Affleck’s apartment working on a screenplay…

Well, this was basically THE game left that hasn’t been delayed or cancelled altogether I was super keen to play on a new gen console, so now I’m totally not fussed I’m not likely to get my paws on one any time this year. Silver lining.

Lol the men’s team should wear bikini briefs and crop tops to their next game or PR event in solidarity/protest. 

Bee Sting is amazing. I emphasise that the dough base is really more an unsweetened or barely sweetened fluffy bread as opposed to a cake or pastry. With the sweet custard filling and the sticky sweet topping thick with slivered almonds it’s glorious.

I’ve been saying this forever but I would be very into an AHS adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk’s “Haunted”. There’s a role for everyone in the AHS ensemble. 

LOLing at how many commenters saw “With absolutely no elaboration” and “we don’t want details. Let me be very clear about that” and “(This, by the way, is as descriptive as we prefer that you get with your responses. “Frozen chicken wings.” Full stop. Thank you for your discretion!)” and thought “Marnie doesn’t mean…

For a long time he WAS a smug elitist sexist asshole, both when he was still a grunt chef and after he got the book deals and the fake started. But he was on the record that later in life he started getting better, starting with having a daughter. And Asia Argento’s involvement in Me Too made him really examine how…

This. I have a collection of British women’s magazines from the late Victorian and early Edwardian era, and there’s articles in the fashion and medical columns specifically about “the evils of tight lacing”, the way our magazines talk about not using tanning beds or wearing too tight shoes with heels too high. (Also…

Would you be terribly surprised if I told you they’re a young male? 

He’s been here for years commenting like this. 

Interestingly, Jordan Fisher who’s obviously black was the first non white actor to take over the role, I think one of the last before COVID closed Broadway.

This. I buy a (good quality, whole egg) mayonnaise and stir in freshly microplaned garlic and maybe a little extra lemon juice far more often than I make aioli by hand. Nobody’s ever complained. Life’s short, time is a finite resource, y’know? 

I also love Podcast: the Ride, I’m pretty sure most of the hosts are still childless dudes, they just really love theme parks.

Lol back in the days of LJ communities (yeah, remember LiveJournal?) we called it flouncing. Flounce, flouncity flounce! 

I can’t remember where but I read recently someone’s opinion that the problem with getting people to eat well and healthily is that in our society food can be (1) Healthy (2) Tasty and satisfying (3) Cheap (4) Easy to source (5) Fast and easy to prepare. But it can only usually be 3 out of the 5.

Another console player here (and an Aussie, I used the hack where you create a US PSN account and buy stuff with gift cards for the US store). The having to re click X to interact most of the time is exasperating but I’ve been dismayed at the text size issue. The slider only impacts dialogue text. Everything else…
