America's holidays mostly suck. They've been transformed into festivals of gluttony focusing largely on material things thanks to marketing. I generally refuse to celebrate them.

Telemarketing is generally bad. BUT, as someone in sales, I think its kind of a detriment too. So many products and services people buy, but if you approached them over the phone its somehow "evil" or "Bad". I'm not saying telemarketing for some bullshit magazine subscription is a good thing, but I interact with people every day that use their phone for everything, except phone calls. They'll spend hundreds of dollars a month on something, but if you approach them for a product THEY ARE ALREADY PAYING FOR, they will refuse to communicate over the phone.

Its really quite weird.

I mentioned this a while ago too: You should always answer your phone even if you don't recognize the number. It takes literally 3 seconds of your life to figure out if its important to you or not.

if i want to buy something i'll come to you, i don't want you interrupting my life to pressure me into buying poo poo that i don't want. it's the same with door to door salespeople and the reason they don't hardly exist anymore.

There's a short movie/documentary on youtube about a family that went absolutely mental over beanie babies and put all their savings and every spare penny they had into buying them as an investment. Buying out all the local toy stores' stock as soon as they opened after getting a delivery, going on cross country trips just to find rare ones, that sort of thing. They still had thousands of worthless beanie babies all neatly sorted sitting in their basement. It seemed like they had come to their senses and accepted that they had been stupid though.

At work at the moment so I can't look it up, but it shouldn't be too hard to find.

i have a large storage container full of beenie babies sitting next to my desk that i use as a table. I mostly toss the toys in as extra gifts for young children at gift giving opportunities. I still have too many of the drat things thanks to my grandmother.

The people that bitch about 'tearing the bread' when spreading peanut butter are using that god-awful ultra-soft white bread designed for toddlers. Y'know, the kind where you can take an entire loaf and squeeze it down to a small cube the size of a couple decks of cards.

Real adult bread stands up to peanut butter, goddamnit.

The whole "love and passion are forbidden" thing was made up for the prequels so that Lucas could create a forbidden love story point for Anakin and Padme. It was completely absent in the original trilogy.

A thirst for adventure and excitement were warned against, but never love or friendship.

the problem isn't love even in the prequels. it's obsession Luke's obsession with fighting vader is shown to be bad in the dagobah cave scene. Anakin's obsession with saving padme causes the very thing he's afraid of.

the jedi are just hosed up and scared throughout the whole prequal trilogy

Also yoda was right that luke had no need to go to cloud city, he didn't accomplish anything except losing a hand.

Maybe this is their way of dealing with the criticism that all their games with female protags are coincidentally their worst games. "Throw in some boobs for a 'no homo,' but otherwise nary a bitch in sight! GOLD!"

I could respect if they'd just said they wanted to tell a road tripping college teen boys story (forgot, Japan), but naw. They tried to pose it as in the interest of the quality and the realism of their dialogue.

the roadtrip and setting is the only decent part of that game and it basically ends like 1/5 through the game, also i'm pretty sure the protag is either in or graduated from college and 2 of the dudes are a bit older than him the other is his best friend

Yeah trophy hunting is indefensible, even moreso if it's an endangered species.


trophy hunting isn't all that bad, almost all of the money spent on trophy hunts is then used to support conservation and the money gives locals a reason to give a poo poo about actually those animals because otherwise they would likely be dangerous to people and livestock. Now if you're poaching get hosed but hunting is fine.

"Good point, banning the production and legal selling of semi-automatic guns whiskey would have an enormous effect on the illegal gun alcohol trade inside the US, supply would be drastically cut and prices would shoot up, making them far less available on the black market."

I feel like we're going in circles here. I say I don't support gun control because it'll turn out like Prohibition. You say you want to know a country with a black market in guns. I say we already have one. You say this proves we should do Prohibition again.

Hey good point, prohibition didn't stop alcohol trade but you know what it did do it lowered the amount of people killed by alcoholism by a lot. country kinda like banning some guns won't end gun trade but it might lower the mass shooting epidemic.

i mean maybe everyone will start making bathtub AK's and selling them in seedy underground shooteasies

Holy poo poo the wrongness. Boneless wings don't have half the flavor of good wingmeat and you don't loving bread a god damned chicken wing like half the point of a chicken wing is the slightly crispy chicken skin.

That's just kind of McDonald's in general. The cheapest garbage food they could find pressed into something vaguely food shaped and simultaneously the best and worst thing you've eaten.

if you've never eaten real food.

like the Mc rib isn't good at all and a mcdonalds burger is firmly in the OK category, like i'm not one of those people that act like any fast food will destroy my body and send me to the shitter for a month but i would never describe mcdonalds as the best thing i've ever eaten
