As overly indulgent parents, we've tried to get our kids to keep their legos in nice, orderly boxes; we've bought them multiple boxes to put legos in, put the shelves/cases together to put these boxes in, helped label said boxes, etc.

...and the bastards just dump them out anyway.

Organization is lost on the youth.

Still envious of that room, though.

The only proper way to play with Legos is to dump the all into a pile then build from the pile!

Yep! Diet coke is sweeter than regular coke (sweeter than pepsi actually), and new coke from the 1980s was actually diet coke with the artificial sweeteners replaced with corn syrup. Coke zero is regular coke with the corn syrup replaced by artificial sweeteners.

Of course, none of this poo poo actually matters. Coke zero only exists because dudes saw diet coke as feminine, so they introduced a new brand to market to dudes. The coke-cola company is a massively immoral corporate entity that religiously worships it's own brand to the point where you can get fired for bringing dunkin doughnuts to a meeting (for you see, most dunkins serve pepsi). It's a bizarre perversion of traditional ethical standards! :eng101:

In any sense drinking diet soda is still goony as gently caress because switching corn syrup for artificial sweater is an extremely lazy form of self improvement.
I never really thought of Diet Coke being sweeter than Coke, but I can see how others would think that. To me, they seem to be of different sorts of sweetness. Diet Coke seems to have a salty, seltzer-like taste that Coke and Coke Zero lack. Coke Zero actually tastes closer to Coke than Diet Coke (which makes sense), but doesn't have as strong of an acidic taste as Coke.

Also, switching Coke for Diet Coke for the sake of health isn't limited to goons.

Since I've worked at the Lego store, I'm trying to organize everything, but the 5-year old in me loves dumping the whole thing on the floor and wading through it.

I had a system with labeled boxes when I was a kid. But some with mroe generic parts would run over and the lables were kinda misleading/pure text so it was annoying to find certain parts at times. I still totally loved to have it.

It looks more like they're squatting some abandoned building or a corner of some block somewhere. I obviously don't know how this works in Asia, but from what I gather, in most of the world, abandoned buildings are basically up for grabs. If you start using an abandoned building and nobody tells you to get out, you start getting tenant rights of various kinds and they need to actually evict you.

It varies from place to place, but in some places you're considered to be using the building thanks to silent permission. Other places you can actually take ownership of a building if you've been using it long enough and the actual owner never gave a poo poo.

My guess is those dudes noticed this neat little abandoned storefront that nobody was using and just kind of set up shop. Alternately, they found this little office space that nobody was using and nobody would use as an actual office and offered the owner a pittance to use it to play games in. I've actually gone in with friends to do a similar thing and it's pretty rad.

That stray X-Men amongst the avengers is irritating, ignoring the nerdiness of giving comics a shoplike display how would that even work? Would you just cycle out the older ones into longboxes or only keep your favorites on display?

I think that X-men comic is part of a crossover event that the others were in. And I think a better question is, how do you keep those comics from getting damaged or falling down.
