Just get takeout and talk as long as you want. Even if you do tip generously afterwards and keep ordering small things, you’re probably still losing money compared to another table.

You can do pretty much the same thing with a roll of electrical tape and a hole punch. Not as many options for size, but it’s a lot cheaper.

Honestly there’s always been some irrational part of me that was concerned at handing my card to a stranger who would walk away with it for several minutes, plenty of time to copy my card number down and hold onto it for long enough that they are no longer implicated when they rob me.

Exactly, I don’t have the self control to have bags of snack-size candy bars at home for more than a few days.

You briefly mention an eye mask, but honestly if you can sleep with one on (I know not everyone can) I recommend them before bothering with more expensive and cumbersome blackout curtains or taping things down. I never really needed more than closing the blinds until I moved into an apartment where my bedroom window…

Yeah, it really felt like Yelchin died just as he was starting to hit his stride. Most of the actors on this list were already pretty well-established at the times of their deaths.

I played the Trading Card Game Online app for a while, but eventually got bored because I wasn’t willing to spend money on buying new cards (nobody I know plays so I don’t just have the codes lying around) and didn’t really have a desire to play against real people who already had much better decks than me (online or…

This is all insane

I gotta wonder the logic behind the 26th (despite your disclaimer). This year, that’s a Wednesday, so you’re getting all the same disadvantages of the 31st. I saw that some are trying to just make it the last Saturday of the month, which makes sense, but I’d rather just do it on actual Halloween.

I feel like Peter Cushing in Rogue One shouldn’t really count. He didn’t appear in that movie, a computer model that looked like him appeared while a sound-alike actor did the words. It’s not the same as the rest of the list, where an actor died between filming and release. Carrie Fisher in The Rise of Skywalker is a…

And to each their own, but first thing in the morning, cereal just hits in a way nothing else does. I don’t want a Snickers or cake at 8am, but I still like to be able to start my day with something that makes me happy. I’m not especially trying to be healthy or really even to make me full, it’s just a little thing in…

They may have been trying to save face by letting go of Taylor in a way that doesn’t reveal their reasons or her potentially controversial past (or potential difficulties working with her), but in doing so they just made her more sympathetic. If that’s what happened, at this point they would look better by just…

Yeah I’ve never lived anywhere with businesses so I can’t say.

Yeah like at the end of the day it doesn’t seem like my responsibility to plan for your kids’ allergies when I’m passing out free candy. I’ll have both available and if a kid or parent either takes or requests the non-nut bars, that’s fine. Plus, if I’m not handing on Snickers, that’s hurting all the kids without…

I don’t have kids, so I’m on the “giving out candy” side. One thing I’m unsure about is if they’ll actually be trick-or-treating on Halloween.

What is cereal but a cold, milk-based soup?

I’m not proving anything. I can’t prove that God or any other gods don’t exist, nor am I trying to. I’m not trying to perform a logical deduction or convince anyone of anything, I’m just telling you how I feel, what I personally believe. I’m certainly not an antitheist because I have no problems with other people…

It was remastered in 2019! I haven’t played the remastered version yet but I have it sitting on my Switch.

As I understand it (and I’m no scholar), it’s usually because they can’t. They aren’t omnipotent, so the good gods aren’t always physically capable of stopping the bad ones and the bad ones aren’t able to take over. They have relationships and alliances and limitations that, like us, define what they want to do, what…
