yeah I eat rear end posted:any restaurant advertising "all you can eat" anything should be avoided unless you can go back in the kitchen and get it yourself. It sounds like a good deal until you finish your first round and realize you have to wait 15 minutes for the waitress to come back to your table to check on you, 20 more minutes to bring your next plate out, and it just repeats like that. Nobody wants to spend like 4 hours at a restaurant just to get some good value. You get bored and if you're somehow still hungry you think "i'll just stop by the long johns drivethru on the way home and save half an hour". Alternatively, just go to a buffet as they're opening for the day BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:I always assumed Canada beer and liquor were so much more as a sin tax.

Lol lack of funds is not why the US doesn’t have healthcare. Sin taxes are just a way to control behaviour, and guess who gets the most government control over their booze? That’s right, it’s the territory with the most First Nations people. Wonder why.

1. Hunter X Hunter is the best shounen ever made, and Naruto is the worst rip-off of HxH ever made. 2. Hollywood as an industry should burn down entirely and be replaced with a less sleezy east coast version. 3. Elon Musk is an often-misunderstood eccentric who has the best interests of saving mankind with renewables, despite his flaws. 4. Hollywood (and non-HW) hack writers should be held contemptable before court for wasting billions on bullshit media that could've been spent on healthcare. 5. Bioshock Infinite was the most dissapointing game since Spore. 6. Hawaiian pizzas with bacon and/or sausage are great. 7. Chicago isn't really a notable city or metropolis at all. Neither is Detroit. 8. Bollywood is a sleezy, bloated enterprise with reactionary, uninspired media. Anyone who defends that has more poo poo-for-brains than the Ganges River. 9. Star Wars should never have continued after the original Trilogy. Fanboys of the new trilogy are vain manchildren. 10. Sony America is going to shoot the entire company in the foot I swear. (Think of da children) 11. Math past algebra as a curriculum should become an elective instead of mandatory; replace calculus with personal finance as mandatory. 12. High School Sports funding is a loving waste of time and money. Those careers burn out after age 30. Intellectual careers don't. 13. Anime and manga are, by-and-by, superior in most aspects to western comics and tv shows. Grouchio has a new favorite as of 11:18 on Jul 29, 2019 |

But Elon Musk sells luxury cars exclusively for rich people, thus he is good (???) He also developed space tech that he then sold to the military, thus he is good (???) (???) ???

Grouchio posted:3. Elon Musk is an often-misunderstood eccentric who has the best interests of saving mankind with renewables, despite his flaws. his solution for mass transit is every city should have a limitless and constantly growing number of underground single car tunnels. It's insane, and insanely wasteful, and insanely energy inefficient.

Elon Musk would be fine if he was just some wacky Somethingawful poster who wandered into threads and suggested that we need to put trains in vacuum tubes because they'll go faster without air resistance, and everybody tries to explain why that's stupid but he never learns. He would be a beloved character. The problem is that he's a billionaire, and we live in a world that has decided that being a billionaire means you are listened to and have influence over public policy. So his bad ideas are actually adopted, or at the very least publicly debated. Which makes them impediments to actual improvements.Cities that should be expanding light rail and bus services are instead debating digging an infinite number of one car tunnels under their streets so the rich never have to look at the poor.

JollyBoyJohn posted:I dont mind Elon Musk and the crazy future tech things hes coming out with, a lot of people just seem to have a seething rage at him for being rich. People mostly started caring about Musk once he got legions of people admiring him. When that happens some people will scrutinize the worship and come up with criticisms. Usually the fans of this 1%er dismiss this and claim that he is a futurist genius iron man on a crusade to save the world, even though he's just a money guy who never invented anything and all he's done is make poo poo for rich people to get even more money Collapsing Farts has a new favorite as of 12:36 on Jul 29, 2019 |

That list has a certain quality to it, yeah... Grouchio posted:4. Hollywood (and non-HW) hack writers should be held contemptable before court for wasting billions on bullshit media that could've been spent on healthcare. To pick this one, you think it's the writers who are responsible for how the money is distributed or what gets made?  Or for what healthcare system the country uses and how taxes work?

Grouchio posted:12. High School Sports funding is a loving waste of time and money. Those careers burn out after age 30. Intellectual careers don't. This is a fun one. the vast majority of high school athletes don't go on to have careers in sports. Instead they're just healthier and happier than the fat nerds. And the idea that "intellectual" careers, by which I assume they mean jobs where you sit down, don't "burn out". Skills get outdated, entire industries can be shipped overseas or automated. The fact that you didn't play basketball in high school does not in any way make you more suitable for the job market But Grouchio's list isn't all bad Grouchio posted:13. Anime and manga are, by-and-by, superior in most aspects to western comics and tv shows. I don't know about TV shows but manga loving blows American comics out of the water. Absolutely no contest. They're right on that

One time a tinder person unmatched me because I made fun of them genuinely reading marvel comics as an adult. I am glad. That's extremely unattractive, to me, a guy who rewatches Death Note and FMA Brotherhood at least once a year and posts frequently on something awful dot com.

Asap Rockie should do hard time. If for no other reason then to show Trump: gently caress you and gently caress the US. Everyone gets harassed by junkies sometimes, you are still not allowed to slam them to the ground and kick them. I know it's annoying but that's what being an adult is all about, accepting annoying things without resorting to violence.

We should release all black people from prison. Some of them probably deserve to be there, but at this point there's no way to know for sure so it makes more sense to wipe the slate clean and start fresh.
