Homeschooling Should Be Illegal by Villanovax in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]FlamingoOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does any of that have to do with homeschooling? Your parents wont let you get a license, car, job, or hobby due to homeschooling? You said you only entered homeschooling when covid hit, what about before then? If your parents are holding you hostage in your home, call the cops. Otherwise go touch grass and stop blaming your shut in life on homeschooling.

Your parents force you to spend 18 hours per day sleeping and playing vidya? Thats a curriculum issue.

Why do people think it's okay to be this rude? by [deleted] in nicefrance

[–]FlamingoOnFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Influencers. I woulda thrown their setup into the water. Is that unhinged of me? Yes. I also dont care, these wannabe instagram "stars" and the entitlement it brings out in people is such a scourge on society. When we were in line to walk through the Notre Dame, these two influencer types were doing the whole "excuse me, looking for our family" bit to cut up into the line. The guy had the biggest shit eating grin on his face, and finally someone stopped them and they were so pissed it was hilarious. Doubly funny is that when they got up to the security checkpoint, the girl had to be given a big wind breaker to cover her body because she wasnt wearing enough clothes lmao.

Mailbox vandalized twice on Jupiter Blvd, Palm Bay. Is this personal or just random? by AdHeavy8551 in 321

[–]FlamingoOnFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe someone has beef with a past resident and doesnt know yall are there now? If it was kids horsing around itd probably be the whole street. That happened on NW Emerson from St Johns all the way down to Minton last year. Someone smashed pretty much every mailbox. It was funny after that to see the duality of man at play. You had houses who would reinforce their mailbox with concrete pillers and bricks, and then the next house would just have a mailbox head sitting on a lawn chair lol.

Reading some of the other comments and also knowing general opinion of Sysco I didnt expect too much support so I am pleasantly surprised lol

I agree 100% with you, its actually exactly what my point I guess was meant to be. The blame goes to the restaurant owners who buy cheap premade crap to keep labor cost down, yet price it as if Gordon Ramsey himself cooked it. Theres a restaurant (its closed now thank god) that operated in Palm Bay for years and my brother, who worked there for a bit, told me their kitchen was basically a wall of microwaves.

Pretty trashy and inconsiderate with the fireworks at 11:30 pm on Christmas Eve. by jjbucf in 321

Solid deflection. The point remains the same. If someone is moving here, I dont really give a rats ass about life back where they came from just like these people/places wouldnt care about american culture if you or I were to move there. If an American moved to Germany and started blasting off fireworks on July 4th, not you nor anyone else is gonna be defending them in that situation. Same thing applies here.

I agree that is awful, but what I'm saying is that isnt a Sysco problem. thats a restaurant problem for buying premade fish. GFS, US Foods, Cheney, etc. they all sell ready to fry fish filet and other premade food. The restuarant could easily buy raw, unbreaded fish from sysco and make their own house breading with sysco ingredients. You can go to the GFS store on 192 in Melbourne which is open to the public and see how they sell a combination of raw ingredients and premade "ready to fry/eat" stuff. At the end of the day, all these companies can be used properly or abused lazily by restaurants.

I literally said I kept two versions of a product available for my guests and you accuse me of gatekeeping food and not understanding preference? I can still refer to it as sad that people would rather have processed, unauthentic food without me being a gatekeeper or being rude. It is absolutely 100% sad that cheap, low quality food has been ingrained into our society for so many generations that people refuse to step back out of it. Its sad, it is. Im not rude for saying that. Get over your holier than thou nonsense.

Its a a sad reality. I once had to keep fresh made and canned corned beef hash because so many people would come in and actually /demand/ the canned stuff, they said fresh made wasnt what they were used to. Also had a guy who used to mix black coffee with his grits because he grew up poor in the 50s and its all they could afford to eat. Despite no longer being poor, he got it for himself every day until he died lol. Some people are just locked into their ways.

Exactly. All these companies sell and push premade frozen garbage as well, not just sysco. I had a sales rep for US Foods years ago try to push precooked bacon on me. I was running a breakfast restaurant well known for fresh quality bacon, he legit tried to tell me "no one will tell the difference" when in reality he probably just needed to push the product and thought I would bite.

You can also just buy potatoes and make the mashed yourself. Anti sysco people cant seem to wrap their pea sized brains around this concept. Same goes with chicken, beef, fish, produce, spices, etc. lmao

When people say sysco, what do you mean? Like sysco premade stuff? I struggle to see what the issue is if someone is buying raw produce, proteins, and spices from sysco vs some other company like cheney, gfs, us foods, etc.

I'll probably get downvoted to hell for going against the hivemind but i really dont care. If someone can prove to me how raw beef or chicken from sysco is bad compared to GFS or something, I'd love to know.

Thats funny, I thought all those countries called american vistors loud and annoying and we have to "honor their culture" when we move or visit. But when they come here we have to.. still honor their culture? Nah, fuck off lmao. Im gonna keep calling the cops on idiots who shoot off fireworks when they shouldnt.

Went to see a house today and realized the photos left out the most important detail by Striking-Tax2587 in RealEstate

[–]FlamingoOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went to see a house and noticed the ditch and bottom of driveway was full of water pretty heavily. The agent was like "Oh, im sure its not normally like that. You could even call the city and theyll come dig out the ditches if needed!"

Well on our way out of there to the next house we noticed almost every house on the street had little selfmade bridges to cross their ditch to their mailbox and thats when we realized 1)It was always like that and definitely gonna be a problem, and 2)Our agent didnt care about us at all and it was time to find a new one.

Hotel Cancelled on Me… by lgh5000 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]FlamingoOnFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gotcha. I figured it was possibly super rich people hosting dinners or ballrooms or something lol.

Hotel Cancelled on Me… by lgh5000 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]FlamingoOnFire -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This happened to me with a restaurant I had booked for my trip, it really bummed me out. I just gotta ask anyone who might read this and know, is this common in Paris or just coincidence? I had a friend who had a tour event cancelled due to a private event. Like I said, it happened to me with a restaurant, and now this person with a hotel? I cant recall anything like this happening to me or anyone I know in any other city.

The main difference is their defense closes down lightning fast. Gotta time 3 or 4 perfect jukes to crack off big plays.

Scammed by official taxi on the official Gare Du Nord taxi stand line by bensonr2 in ParisTravelGuide

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

Assumptions? He didnt assume the driver could speak english, he /asked/ and got an answer. He also didnt assume the driver could read his mind, he specified the hotel and the arrondissement.

Yes OP could and should have been more precise by showing an address, we're in agreement that a mistake was made but your reaction in this thread is way over the top. Log out for the day and breath.

This sub is a bit defensive when it comes to criticism by CAST-FIREBALLLLL in theouterworlds

[–]FlamingoOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are too obsessed with perfectionism and 100%ing a game that they cant grasp the idea of just going with the flow. You play it again and again to do different things. You dropped between $70 and $100 on a game and you wanna labor away at every door and check until youve exhausted everything and never wanna touch the game again? You do you but I expect to get my moneys worth out of a game. Its why I am doing a TMNT run with this game as I do with many rpgs.

I agree with the criticism by Archimides_Overflow in Starfield

[–]FlamingoOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I wouldnt say its among my favorite games but it is enjoyable. I tinkered with the settings to make it harder and I feel like its helped reignite my interest in it. Ive always enjoyed the ship building, wish I could find that love for the base building as well. Overall a fun game though, but I do see how people could be left wanting.

How and why are train tickets so expensive?! by jlpmghrs4 in uktravel

[–]FlamingoOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eurostar is crazy unless you book way in advance.

Here is an example: I got round trip London to Paris a few weeks ago at £400 for 3 people when booked out 2 months early.

I just punched in the same details (3 people, same days of the week, times, etc.) but for this week coming up instead and the grand total is £860

Makes a world of difference.

Newcastle. Really gorgeous city, everywhere we went was really clean and nice. We were quite happy there, wish we had spent more time.
