I've actually never had Red Lobster. The closest one is like 40 miles away, in the shittiest part of the city and from what I hear it's the place to go if you want food poisoning. If we had a nice Red Lobster I'd probably try it tho.

Same, there isn't even a Red Lobster in my garbage state. The closest I've gotten is buying those Cheddar Bay Biscuit mixes they sell at the grocery store and making some of those biscuits, but they can't be THAT accurate because you have to provide your own cheese.

Unsurprisingly there don't appear to be any Red Lobsters in Massachusetts. The closest one to me is in Hartford. That said though guys chill out about Red Lobster already, it was a little funny that he thought of it as pulling out all the stops for big date #2 with surprise hot-air-balloon ride but not out-there enough to justify a multiple-pages-long derail

There have been a number of family functions (like birthdays or graduations) where the person of honor got like, a secondary follow-up dinner because ‘sorry, I know it’s your birthday, but aunt so-and-so hates sushi, and your cousin doesn’t like the place, so can we go to Outback instead?’ LadyPictureShow fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Jul 12, 2018 |

precision posted:I'm not sure what you're trying to say but I can assure you that Red Lobster is overpriced and bad no matter what income bracket you're in. If you live anywhere near the ocean, find a cheaper, better local place. If you don't, find the grocery store that cares the most and buy from them. What is it with computer touchers that assume all people have the time energy money and skills required to cook things you can get at a restaurant? You know what I want to do on week three of my 72 hour work week extravaganza? Cook and then clean the dishes for cooking!

LadyPictureShow posted:Yo, RL and Olive Garden are clutch if you’re going out for a family thing and you have four different kinds of picky eaters in the group. Or you could, uh, go to a half decent restaurant or something. There's literally 15+ seafood joints and 20+ Italian places that are all far superior to Red Lobster or Olive Garden in my large Midwestern city, many of which offer similar affordable pricing to chain garbage. Probably like 5 each alone within 15 minutes of my apartment. Unless you live in Buttsville, Alabama, there is never any reason to hit up chains unless you have negative taste.

Red Lobster chat almost makes me miss World Cup chat. Almost. Classmate is threatening to sue because she stole my medicated drinks in the pantry and it gave her an adverse reaction quote:I've always left drinks mixed with my medication, some sort of sleeping aid, and they're labelled properly so I don't accidentally drink them and fall asleep why the gently caress

This is kind of weird, but afaik, the only "sleep aid" you normally mix with a drink is Xyrem, which is straight-up GHB (it's a treatment for narcolepsy)

I will say mixing your sleep aid in a giant can of sugar and caffeine is not well thought out.

Cough Drop The Beat posted:You have to live in an incredibly tiny town with less than like 10k people to not have a decent diner/sub shop/bar/steakhouse/etc that serves food way better than Olive Garden or Red Lobster. Even the little truck stop towns along most highways tend to have half a dozen family owned places within a 20 minute drive these days. My mom lives in a city with no good restaurants. But the local dairy Queens clean out their soft serve machines every night and it makes the ice cream way tastier for some reason. (I worked there in highschool, both locations.) There are a couple of locally owned restaurants, but they are not very good. There are a few decent diners 20-25 minutes away. Population:12,500.

Ghost Leviathan posted:From all I'm hearing grad students barely count as sentient. Yeah. What do you expect from a population that is largely made up of people who have never done anything other than "go to school" then "go to school potentially away from home"? Children in adult bodies........ Not saying this is all of them.......but it is the ones you hear these stories about. And it's typically because their actual adult friends don't realize these people are 14 year olds with better vocabulary.

Workload can be p awful too, my adviser was a big name and while I'm thankful to have gotten to work on his projects and the instant recognition he got me, dude expected his students to be pulling 60+ hour weeks at minimum. I get that modern grad school can be just arrested development for people who didn't know what to do with their 4 year degrees but if you get into a legit program rather than just a scam milking for more student debt it truly is both highly qualified and grueling work. If at bare min you aren't getting a tuition waver and a stipend your program isn't serious.

Absolutely true, I'm just talking to the whole "grad school is for adult children who couldn't hack it" mindset, like sure I'm not gonna necessarily speak to the social maturity of the people who were in my department at that time but it's laughable to act like they weren't dedicated to their work and exceptionally talented people in their own right. Normal jobs aren't just awesome in comparison, they're easy and far less stressful.

I don't think group work is very common in grad school courses and it's not like you're forced to interact outside of class with fellow students you don't like.
