I’m fortunate enough to have only been THAT sick once in my life (well, so far). It was during the worst possible time - a trip to E3. We ate out that evening, but I started feeling ill even after barely touching my food. At this point I don’t remember at all what I had for lunch. I remember an open bar at the UPlay…

Don’t blame you at all. I wouldn’t have even bothered trying. I WANT to want kids, but I just don’t particularly like them. I feel motherly toward animals, and that’s it. 

I’d never heard of a mesh before reading this article, but it sounds like it’s meant to support the pelvic floor. That can shift after having a baby, or it might always be a certain way, even before having a kid. 

Whine when they don’t change, whine when they do. Pretty typical.

Honestly doesn’t feel very necessary to me, unless you test each and every person you’re getting into a car/bus/plane with. If they’re behaving drunk, that’s very different. 

I really appreciate having an option like Uber. I’m no big drinker at all, but twice have I let myself have an extra drink at my brother’s bar without having to worry about getting home (we have taxis here, but very few. They don’t trawl around looking for fairs - you have to call them). I do not live in a huge city…

Portraying guns or war in a game really doesn’t automatically make it political. Virtually every single game out there contains war, which is just a specific measure of conflict. Every single game might as well be ‘political’ with a definition that broad. 

I think it’s trashy to insist you have the God given right to play a game you have zero desire to pay for. You don’t want to support the publisher, then don’t. Actually stick by your words, or they ultimately mean shit.

Most everyone here will likely disagree, but I think that’s a fair opinion to have. No one enjoys being preached to. There will always be publishers like Ubisoft that want to wrestle with politics in their games. There is zero reason for every single other publisher to want the same.

That association would be an incorrect one. Contrary to popular belief, adults do indeed enjoy various flavors, including sweet or fruity. You can also enjoy something generally sweet without ‘drowning it in refined sugar’.

A coffee milkshake I can totally understand, but at least then order that, lol. Not something this outrageous that isn’t on the menu anyway. But I try to keep alterations as limited as possible. I hate making special requests. 

That is SUCH an insane amount of sugar... And I say that as someone who can’t drink coffee straight and has to have at least a nice flavor creamer included. Here I was hoping I didn’t irritate anyone with my small holiday mocha with skim milk and no whip (hey, I’m watching my calories, but at least trying to bring it…

Just a heads up, HIPAA *only* applies to medical staff and insurance companies. He still has a right to privacy and not to inform his employer of health issues (not that I consider being sober a health issue), but that has nothing to do with HIPAA.

Exactly.

Interesting! I’m not a beer person at ALL - it’s something I wish I did not, but just can’t stand the bitter taste of (like how plenty of people feel about coffee). I can drink ciders, hard lemonades, Smirnoffs, etc, but in almost every case, a straight up beer is too much for me. I can handle a sip or two, and that’s…

Is the fact that people pay for convenience really such a hard sell for this guy? This is such a bizarre argument. 

Sorry, I realize this is an older post. But I agree 110%. That guest is RUDE af. It’s one thing if you tell a guest to please help themselves to the fridge (the drinks part is pretty understood, and peeking into sealed containers is still extremely rude, even then). But if you have a cooler and food out, do not…

I usually say, “Sorry, those parties aren’t really my jam, but I’ll let you know if I need something after all!” Even with friends who really aren’t very pushy, I feel like a leech trying their products and not buying anything. 

Nah, we’re just really dedicated The Ground is Lava players.
