When I worked at a grocery store I once had an old man yell at me because we weren't carrying the old 7-up anymore. All they did was change the labeling.

People get really upset at changing the slightest things they like.

We've had people ring up to complain that we've ruined the recipe when making a oroduct gluten-free and it tastes bad now.
The product has always been gluten-free. We just started putting that on the label.

I don't want to experience bullets, or feel them. In fact I have dedicated a significant portion of my life to not doing so.

Yeah most likely. Lesson to be learned here though about hyping a pseudo-game WAY TOO loving EARLY.

Um, what's the mistake here? They got to charge people for Landmark, and it had no negative effect on Next since Next will never exist. Seems like a profitable (= good) decision to me.

Pepsi and everyone else just has an ingredient blend, but they also require that you not make any other sodas using their exact blends, so usually the generics have slightly more citric acid and slightly less/more sugar

Less sugar, surely. Sugar costs money.

So is everybody here like my dad where instead of touching the touchscreen, you try to jab it? I've really never had a problem with them.

That may be due to experience with the old resistive touchscreens, where you had to press hard enough to bend the screen slightly. The newer capacitive screens don't need any pressure at all, just contact.

This bit is important. If you try to use 'good' cuts of meat for that kind of cooking it'll come out dry and horrible.

Wait, I get the dyes and magic suppositories as Radium products, but wouldn't Radium burn holes in the latex? Presumably also your DNA, your partner's DNA, and the DNA of your germ cells, but most pressing for the very concept of a barrier contraceptive is the integrity of said barrier. I'm no physicist, but I don't know how ionizing radiation would help maintain a seal in an organic material sensitive to heat, friction, and UV

Not holes as such, but if there was a significant amount it would make the latex brittle and friable over time. Similar to exposure to UV light.

You can buy bullets coated in pig fat as well as pig fat gun lubricant in America right now for very similar reasons. That, however, is a clever move in marketing; stupid, racist rednecks apparently buy that poo poo up like crazy.

There is also this website which is a dumb move in marketing as it looks like it was made in 1994 by an angsty teenager.

Look at this website. Just...look at it. It's like they actively tried to make it as terrible as possible.

But can I buy square bullets to use with it?

Any business that deals primarily in cash is good for laundering. Dry cleaners, taxi services, restaurants, used car dealerships.

Used car dealerships are particularly good because, if you want to make even more dirty money, you can run a chop shop out of it too.

The ultimate front is of course a casino or gambling establishment, because you not only get to take in cash you can easily pass it out too.

I had to look up what a HE washing machine was as I'd not heard that term before (High Efficiency machines) and it's basically a front loader or a top loader without an agitator.
So much makes sense now about why Americans complain about their clothes falling apart in the wash. Machines with agitators are really rough on your clothes while machines that wash by tumbling are much gentler but are only just getting popular in the US.
But yeah, you needs low sudsing washing detergents in them and you don't need much.
In much of Europe it's common to have your own machine in your house/apartment and it's very likely to be a HE front loader type.

I didn't realize top-loaders were still a thing. Do people really still use them? Don't they use like twice as much water?

Knowing the song, I was somewhat surprised at its usage in this advert.
Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquittence

The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone

Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above

Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away

Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure
Now I shall reign in blood


Argent Energy already? I thought we were some decades off yet.
