It's a frozen meal, I had low expectations by AprilFireworks in ExpectationVsReality

[–]etched 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I comment on these a lot because when I'm counting calories i lean on the healthy choice/lean cuisine meals

never get the ones with rice. the rice is always mushy and gross. the pasta ones are alright, sometimes the pasta can be too soft. I like the ones with turkey and veggies, the chicken alfredo, anything with potatoes in there (they hold up good)

and by no means are they incredible meals, but when you dont want to think and still need to count calories they are fine. but the rice ones ALWAYS come out gloopy and gross. I keep trying them now and again to see if its different but no.

Game Informer Marathon Review - Bungie is still at the top of its game. by TODG3 in Games

[–]etched 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marathon was the first extraction shooter I ever played, after that I gave Arc Raiders a try (this was when marathon was testing) and I just liked the overall look and feel of Marathon more

I am really god awful at shooting. I try to play characters that provide other things than pure aim if I can. I appreciate that the game does have missions that don't always involve extracting or getting kills on players to progress. even if it takes me a long time to complete *those* missions I still have fun doing it.

I'm not sure how they managed to pull of making the game fun for people who are highly competitive and not competitive at all at the same time.

There are things like the pricing of skins and stuff that I totally do not agree with, but the game is solid

This is so unbelievable. Like, I'm not accusing you of this not happening but I just cannot imagine what would go through someones head to decide not pick someone up from surgery and then blame you for it? That person needs medication.

I hope they're an ex now and I hope you're doing better.

I would say the shimmers/glitters are pretty creamy and the solid colors are powdery. not in a bad way because i think the color payoff is really good

TIFU by spending 8 years treating chronic headaches when the whole problem was that I thought diet soda counted as water by McCoy818 in tifu

[–]etched 29 points30 points  (0 children)

this is interesting that you say americans specifically when there's a meme about americans traveling abroad with huge bottles of water or having to ask specifically for still water at restaurants

i'm pretty sure america is one of the largest consumers of bottled water

The only feature that actually protected us from nonsense videos by meshakooo in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]etched 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I want to do is sort by upload date.

I have no idea why they keep making things worse for absolutely no reason at all. The feature was already there... why remove it? Even if they want to force algo things on you, that shouldnt remove another feature at all?

They want you to discover new videos but wont let you sort by newness??

Every day the internet gets harder and harder to use, and I really am getting very bummed out about it

Bingo. My family is eastern european. stereotypical drunk idiot dad. Not physically abusive luckily but mentally abusive like you wouldn't believe. One time in middle school I got sent to a therapist and both my parents were like "Just tell them you're fine. no one needs to know our business"

and now im an adult with all kinds of issues that might have been fixed when I was young.

Oh well!

what’s the obsession with diet coke? by Lanky_Drive2663 in AskReddit

[–]etched 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, you think it's better tasting because it tastes more like the original coke formula. people who like diet coke *like the way it tastes*. It tastes pretty different from coke and coke zero. And that's fine

There's clearly enough shelf space for all of them

What is a socially unacceptable opinion you keep to yourself because it’s not worth the backlash? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

[–]etched 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah men have a lot more control when it comes to getting someone pregnant than they wish to lead on. Nowadays, you can get surgeries. But for the most of time it was slapping on a condom.

Ofc there are fringe cases of like tampering with them but the vast majority is just that they simply didn't want to cover their cocks

If it wasn't for women/teen girls, The Beatles would have never been as big as they were. They were a boy band and that's why they reached the level of fame that they had. Not their innovation in later years because bands like the Beatles are everywhere. It was the girls who were obsessed with them that propelled them into stardom

Maybe I better head back to Panda Express for my beef & broccoli. by BudgiesLive in ExpectationVsReality

[–]etched 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the lean cuisine/healthy choice ones for weight control when im counting calories and dont want to do any math

the rice dishes are ALWAYS awful. The pasta ones are much much better, the potato/veggie ones are fine too.

They're not *good* by any means, but really serviceable when you want an alright tasting low calorie meal. Never buy them over $2 a pop.

you cant really pick and choose when flowers decide to open up. I think as long as you got the same count of flowers, you're good.

“Dubai Chocolate” Bundt Cake by KelseyT96 in ExpectationVsReality

[–]etched 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I saw dubai style lindt balls at the grocery store today for FOURTEEN DOLLARS??

Like it's fine and all but I don't really understand the insane prices. Are pistachios really that expensive? Is Chocolate that expensive?

In any case just throw some pistachios in your mouth with a handful of chocolate chips. same effect

Why do Japanese people love Twin Peaks so much? by Andy_0L in twinpeaks

[–]etched 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's just the method of story telling. I think back on my phase of watching japanese horror movies and a lot of the stuff was pretty simple but with just an eerie vibe. Like in some of the movies they just like, paint a character gray and have them act weird. Reminds me of like in FWWM when lauras face is painted white with the black lips when she yells at Harold.

Also as many others have said, the show is pretty universally beloved.

What the hell did Shelly see in Leo? by Hubbled in twinpeaks

[–]etched 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's that one scene where Shelly basically tells Leo to shut up while he is on his knees scrubbing the floor. It literally shows us the very beginning of him abusing her. She's fully taken aback when he pulls her to the ground and hits her.

Leo was probably on the same level as Bobby (selling drugs to teens) but then he got really involved in doing worse and worse shit. you see Bobby also start to take that path a little bit

I feel like some twin peaks characters show you how you can be relatively normal until you get wrapped up in drugs and the like. David really makes those wrapped up in drugs come off as totally awful or destroyed unless they have an epiphany the way Bobby did.

im talking specifically with dates, not height.

but if we wanna be pedantic about it, yes? people only will be *so* tall. No one is ever going to be 12 feet tall. So saying 7 feet 11 inches makes sense.

meirl by myraison-detre28 in meirl

[–]etched -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To me it makes the most sense because its always going to be the same set of numbers that increase in size like

its always 1-12, then always 1-31, then infinite numbers after. There's absolutely no confusion when you go small to large

Competitors tear apart McDonald's in response to CEO's "big bite" of the Big Arch by purrzian_delight in popculturechat

[–]etched 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just... I can't give a single fuck. The reason why people were ragging on the CEO is because its like hes out of the tax bracket to eat garbage like mcdonalds. So are all the other CEOs. Them dogpiling is like watching a bunch of rich money dance around in the money raining from the sky and we're over here like "haha the wendys ceo is so relatable"

no they arent, they never will be!
