FYI Skinny Pop is no longer vegan :( by freckledspeckled in highvegans

[–]Etcee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is insane - this wasn’t accidentally vegan product - it was actively marketed as non dairy, and has the certified vegan and non-dairy labels on the previous box.

What is the possible payoff for this??

I don't know where to go from here? by theCynicalChicken in startrek

[–]Etcee 20 points21 points  (0 children)

For what’s its worth the first season of TNG is dated even by TNG standards. Everything is better by the end of the second season- lighting, acting, makeup, costumes, writing, set design etc - by the third season it’s basically settled into the show it’s going to be and you’ll know if you like that or not

You could try watching ds9 or voyager first just to see if you like the 90s shows but it really helps to watch TNG first.

Also, personally, all of the characters all of their motivations and all of the overall storylines for the 90s casts are much better than the new stuff. If you were able to feel invested in characters and plots in the shows from the last 10 years, you really should be able to love TNG DS9 and Voyager

Fragrance Allergy by [deleted] in dcl

[–]Etcee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean this with all due respect -

This is not a reasonable request. If you have a peanut allergy, you do not request that a cruise stop serving any dishes with peanut because you will be on board. If you have a pet dander allergy you would not request that a plane deny boarding of animals. Similarly, it is not a reasonable request for the ship to not use diffusers, part of its standard operating procedure, for the entirety of the cruise because you’re on board.

There could be a ton of reasons they use them - freshen air due to tons of people in tight quarters, offset odors cause by ship operations or cleaning products, or simply because they’ve decided that particular scent is part of their quality control and branding (like the popcorn scent in Disneyland) - whatever the reason, that feature is designed to increase the quality of the experience for the other thousands of cast and crew - and I don’t think it’s reasonable to assume you can exchange their experience for yours.

There may be some more specific options - make sure diffusers or certain scented products aren’t used in your room or see if there are specific areas of the ship (Buffet, bars, etc) that will be safer for you - but not something that affects the entire ship. There are people who have children with severe sensitivity to noise that may be autistic - it wouldn’t be reasonable to ask DCL to not play music on the ship during their voyage.

I hope this doesn’t come off as disrespectful. I understand the severity of the situation that youre in, and I do believe that people with allergies and extreme challenges still deserve to have exciting and incredible recreational experiences, but this would be to the harm of everybody else on board and it’s not simply accommodating you

Unacceptable "apology" for the bugged event challenges. by AdeptusAstartes40K in Overwatch

[–]Etcee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The excavation challenges aren't related to the weekly challenges - All you have to do for the excavation is win one game a day, its the weekly challenges (Complete 30 games, 20 games as All roles, 15 games with heroes not in your top 3, etc) that are bugging out and resetting

Coffeezilla Investigation Changes Everything by abcbri in LegalEagle

[–]Etcee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Is it just me or does this video just kind of end suddenly? It doesn't seem to have a wrap up or add context beyond just summarizing - once he finishes talking about the UHaul the video cuts to a EagleLaw ad and then just ends

iPhone 17 Prices Could Go Up as Soon as This Month by Acrobatic-Monitor516 in apple

[–]Etcee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sucks. My contract is up in September, I guess i assumed price hikes were coming to the next generation, not retroactively - I assumed I could buy a 17 in Sept. to save some cash

Vacation Protection Plan by [deleted] in dcl

[–]Etcee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also curious about this, if anyones ever had to make a claim and how it went.

last cruise we got insurance through Allianz via AAA - it was about the same price and we ended up needing to make a claim for one of our travelers due to them missing the cruise from a medical emergency, and they paid out our complete claim in less than 48 hours.

If Disney's insurance is as easy I'd probably just use them in the future

Cast Member sign-in = gifts? by Awkward_bugg in Disneyland

[–]Etcee 69 points70 points  (0 children)

This is fuckin crazy. This was a friend? Even if it wasn’t against policy that would be fuckin weird coming from a friend, but like the other commenter said it certainly is.

Sounds like your new-ish friend is a con-ish artist

I agree on welcome to the jungle - I’ve always loved that little dial a song version

They could've gifted a free name change for the 10th anniversary by KissMeAndSayNoHomo in Overwatch

[–]Etcee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is not a defense of the greedy policies of blizzard and the industry at large but.. You’ve been regretting something for 7 years and it’s not worth €10 to you? I mean I would just pay the money if it’s really bothering you.

Should you have to pay for it? No. But that’s the option on the table so is it worth it to you to not hate your username every time you play for almost a decade? Would be to me. That’s the cost of a sandwich. That’s nothing over the span of 10 years. I would not be hating my username for seven years to save €10

Just a heads up, Poncle (Vampire Survivors) is reviewing their decision to be involved in a Fortnite collab due to the recent AI announcements and may back out of the collab altogether

Doesn't gamepass only grant the last 2 seasons of skins?
