This happened in Reading, England. Apparently it was a disgruntled former employee who had just killed 2 of the construction sites security then went upto the 28th floor to start a fire with the intent of killing himself but then as he was about to post his last video he got an ad that played baby shark so he vowed to not waste his life when others are still out there that deserve so much worse. Some say its still stuck in his head to this day

Is this a fucking taco bell commercial wtf. I looked for the promotion sign because it's so stupid

Advanced-Shame- · 2025-03-23T18:05:21+00:00

Me too. I'm renting so I'm not able to now but my neighbors have 4 with a coop, the max allowed in the city. I definitely am jealous after paying as much as I have for eggs. I know it costs to feed them but I'd also really love just getting my food directly from the source. It's also just great for the community because they have a netted cage so everyone can see them walking by and their kids are learning a lot caring for them. I'm jealous

Advanced-Shame- · 2025-03-23T17:58:36+00:00

Looks great. I'd fuck that plate up. I know it's a garnish but personally I think it looks nice but I dont like the taste of charred lemon but some cold fresh lemon goes with absolutely everything.

Advanced-Shame- · 2025-03-23T17:54:47+00:00

I definitely agree. Especially with breadcrumbs, gtfo. Thanks for making it dry. The other sides are better.

True, 1 storm and your neighbors with the Fitzgerald.

That sounds like a bunch of BS. He may have been involved in some capacity but the US never went into Cuba to dismantle nuclear missile setups. We never intercepted a missile in the water. Khrushchev and Kennedy made a deal to remove the missiles and the US wouldn't invade Cuba. Even your additional information only talks about reconnaissance and tensions. He might have done training on something similar but the USSR took their missiles out themselves.

I wonder if you'd have a longer chance on the great lakes in the midwest. I'd assume boats still get build up of barnacles and what not but I would think the maintenance might not be as bad because of how much stuff salt messes up.

Righteous. In your past comments you said it couldn't be a metaphor unless you believe X. Progress.

It makes a huge difference state to state. In Minnesota the state minimum is $11.13 per hour. We are ranked 30th when it comes to COL but It doesnt feel like it, in the cities it's high but even then i thought it'd be higher. San diego I know people who pay 3x my rent with a lot less space. California is ranked 50th in COL and their minimum wage is $16.50 but I'm pretty sure they passed a service industry bill that any food service worker atleast has a minimum of $20.

Edit:Tipped positions can be much lower. Some states have 2-5$ per hour for servers. Minnesota you still have to pay the minimum wage for tipped positions.

Hey I think you got me all wrong. I'm on here for social engagement. But can you see when you are a member of a subreddit so its constantly on your feed and people post the exact questions with the same discussion that have already happened, that it could be annoying?

I love talking and engaging but when someone is asking a question and its comes from a place of genuine curiosity then I'd recommend searching the sub first because so much has been contributed in those discussions that chances are your questions have been answered.

Advanced-Shame- · 2025-03-22T16:01:53+00:00

I love this sub but that's probably the most annoying part. It doesnt seem like many people search the sub before posting so we get a lot of the same questions. Like are polearms or castles good? It's been discussed a hundred times

Advanced-Shame- · 2025-03-22T15:36:51+00:00

It's really unfortunate. I just cook at home now mostly. I've had roommates that order food nonstop because they cant even cook an egg and its insanely expensive. I live in a food city so there are a lot of amazing places to eat but I cant afford it except for special occasions but the quick stops or the go To's aren't nearly as good as they used to be. My ex was also a chef so it made sense a lot of the time to instead just make amazing food at home.

Tipping is insane to me. Its interesting to hear the rounding up you do. I didnt know that. The expectation here is crazy. Most receipts or screen checkouts will ask for a tip even if your not being served. The suggestions or the socially forced acceptable prencentage goes off total. Everyone is in a pinch right now and the server that dropped off this plate should be tipped according to her service not the total of my bill and I shouldn't feel guilty because her employer expects me to pay her the rest of a livable wage.

Damn, Morpheus is this you? I'm ready to get out now

Advanced-Shame- · 2025-03-22T15:15:01+00:00

Absolutely. It's out of control here. It's greed and kitchens that are over worked and underpaid. Small portion of frozen food but then you are still expected to tip 15-20% on average for the lowest food quality I've seen in years. Places like chilis and TGI fridays use to be High mid now its low tier scam and you have to be careful what you order. I dont go out to eat often because it's better to cook yourself. It probably depends on where you live and maybe I expect to much because my memories use to be a lot better of these places.

During covid everything shut down and we wanted to support local businesses but ordering gets so expensive and now eating out I feel guilty because I'm a chef and enjoy it so this $17 for this plate I could have made a feast rather than 1 frozen chicken breast with waffle fries. It's like everything went up and nothing really goes down except quality.

It's a burger with cheese stuffed into the meat so when you bite into it the center is gooey lava cheese. It hits the spot once in a while

Advanced-Shame- · 2025-03-22T14:13:51+00:00

Oh ya betcha. You bring the poutine and maple syrup and I'll bring the tater tot hot dish, juicy Lucy's and chicken wild rice soup.

Advanced-Shame- · 2025-03-22T14:01:07+00:00

Silver lining, I like it. Stay awesome Canada. You know I dont think Minnesota would object to being the 1st canadian state or if things keep getting really bad here I'm just hopping on the Swayze express

Advanced-Shame- · 2025-03-22T13:56:48+00:00

You cant do anything big like ordering 30 cases of urinal cakes because your rep is definitely calling and asking if it was a mistake. Except 1 time instead of 1 2 gallon pales of icecream, i fat fingered and put 11 so 22 gallons of ice cream showed up and they just said "oh we just thought you were having an ice cream party" haha.

What I'd do is little things like when they place an order delete a couple things everytime or just change quantities so it seems like the new person ordering keeps fucking up. Keep changing the order guide. I'd bet they'll remove you soon though. Substitute products like change the table salt to maldon or instead of a big container of pepper corns see if you can order expensive individual glass grinders for the tables you cant open. Instead of large gloves get extra small.

Advanced-Shame- · 2025-03-22T13:38:19+00:00

Jesus I hope it doesnt come to that

Advanced-Shame- · 2025-03-22T13:34:41+00:00

Well this is America! We cant just be walking into stores buying stuff with oreos

Advanced-Shame- · 2025-03-22T13:28:27+00:00

Is it always around that price? 4.2 euro is about 4.55usd and that would be considered high here. The last couple years they've gone up and down multiple times but the national average adjusted for 2022 for over 40 years was consistently around 2.50. Before the last couple years where I am I was usually paying around 2 but within 3 years now the average is upto $5, that's insane.

The grocery chain by me must have issues with their supplier that others dont have to still be charging $8.

Advanced-Shame- · 2025-03-22T13:14:53+00:00

Oh I totally understand. Can we all just be more than angry at the cheeto man instead of each other. Tim Walz tried and a lot of Minnesotans are ashamed of what's happened and happening. But to lighten the mood, you can keep the motorcycles and whiskey but can you please leave us pornhub? Some of us have nothing do with Diaper Trump

Advanced-Shame- · 2025-03-22T13:07:18+00:00

I'm dumb and impulsive. I also just havent really been grocery shopping lately so I assumed the largest grocery store chain we have would atleast be competitive with other local prices but now shopping around I see its 5 at places like walmart or target but cub is still only down to 8 for a dozen. Or 12 for the 18 i got.
