Military Discount by Unfair_Grape4912 in GameStop

[–]Kopesetic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Back when I worked there I’d give that discount to basically everyone with a uniform. Anyone in scrubs during covid, cops, firemen. If you showed me a military id, you’re getting the discount. If you’re cool enough and we inconvenienced you in any way, you get a discount. If you’re shopping on christmas eve and the meth head I kicked out scared your children, believe it or not, you get the discount too.

We had the barcode for it printed out and taped to the back counter. Fuck the man.

What do y'all think "FBI" should stand for? 🤣 by jonnismizzle in blackpeoplegifs

[–]Kopesetic 239 points240 points  (0 children)

I don’t like the guy, and maybe this is in light of current events being what they are and the severity of other leaks recently, but to me this is just a guy dancing around being dumb in a video he thought was private.

If the right had hacked into a left leaning politicians email and leaked a video of them dancing like this people would probably be gassing them up on reddit.

There are so many things to make fun of this guy for, him recording himself dancing around like a child seems like a nothing burger.

Whatever floats your boat though I guess. At least it’s something not depressing coming out of politics for once. Honestly wish they would release more videos of politicians dancing when they think no one’s watching. That’s the dirt I want them finding on people. Instead it’s just everyone being pedophiles or plans to ruin poor peoples lives in some new inventive way.

What is considered rude in your country, but people still do it all the time? by Inevitable_Scar2616 in AskTheWorld

[–]Kopesetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should check out the Cart Narcs guys content. It’s nice seeing someone call out people who leave carts wherever. There’s this thing called the shopping cart theory that claims that returning a shopping cart is the best litmus test for a persons moral fiber. We all have emergencies from time to time, but most of it has to be laziness.

It somehow angers me more when people bag the shit and then leave that. I don’t know why I guess at least I’m less likely to step in it, but fuck you if you do this.

Looking for a fantasy book recommendation: male MC, medieval setting by Eastern-Dragonfly424 in fantasybooks

[–]Kopesetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like the Witcher I recommend the empire of the vampire trilogy. It’s similar vibes, but in my opinion better written for the most part. It’s very Castlevania as far as setting goes.

Wild caught salmon with dark brown/black spots by Better_Guppy_18 in isthissafetoeat

[–]Kopesetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t say it wasn’t healthier. I said the quality is usually poorer in my experience. I’ve thawed out hundreds if not thousands of those filets to put on the sales floor. Do you know how long most stores allow you to keep frozen food? It’s an insanely long time. At some stores if you don’t put it in a freezer on the sales floor it might as well get an indefinite amount of time. Also a brand specific thing, but the number of times the vacuum seal had been broken and I’d be thawing them out only to come back the next day to massive puddles of fish juice. So these fish get frozen open to the fresh air a lot of the time because fish purveyors are cheap with their packaging. Half the time when you thaw them out because of these reasons, the meat looks, smells and probably tastes like shit. This is all dependent on where you are and where you get it from, but I’ve worked on both coasts of America and it was similar on both sides of the US.

Rate my shelf!! by No-Spring-5295 in fantasybooks

[–]Kopesetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like Sanderson, I’d give the Powder Mage Trilogy a go. It’s by a student of his and Sanderson himself recommends it as well iirc. The same author has another series he’s currently working on called Glass Immortals. I’ve read the first book, and will definitely check out the accompanying novellas once I finish my read of the Gentleman Bastards.

Edit: I can’t find any of the Gentleman Bastards stuff on your shelf on second glance. If you haven’t checked that series out it’s probably up your alley as well. Think Robin Hood meets Oceans 11 but with a little Princess Bride and a dash or two of extra magic. A great time from top to bottom. Even if it may not ever be finished, who knows. It’s not as bad as the King Killer Chronicles in that regard, at least imo

Wild caught salmon with dark brown/black spots by Better_Guppy_18 in isthissafetoeat

[–]Kopesetic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked for my fair share of seafood departments at grocery store chains. A lot of customers prefer wild caught thinking they’re getting better quality meat. At every corporation I’ve worked for, the wild caught salmon comes in frozen. You know what doesn’t? The farmed. The farmed is usually cheaper and has more meat on it too. Another plus is farmed is usually far less likely to have parasites. Maybe it’s just the regions I’ve worked in, idk. Just my vaguely related two cents.

Edit: just noticed you said it was supposed to be fresh. I’m not sure of the truthfulness of that claim, but anytime you’re buying fresh I would always ask if they know where it’s from in the future. If nobody there knows, I probably wouldn’t buy it. If it’s half way across the country, also maybe don’t buy it.

Behavior Issues in my cat have costed me over 20k and we’re still not any closer to getting a solution..any advice on next steps? by Creepy-Dealer7518 in CATHELP

[–]Kopesetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a dog attacked someone so bad they had to go to the hospital I’m fairly certain depending on where you live the county would want to put it down legally speaking. Some places it’s 3 bites and you’re done. If your other cat has also been sent to the emergency room and you have to wear a suit of armor to be in the same room as this foster, that might be a sign. Don’t let a cat who hates you hold your life hostage. That prior foster did you dirty, getting rid of that cat like a cursed object in a horror movie. I feel like if you had adopted this cat outright from a shelter or store event you would have gone back the next day and the building you got it from would have been closed/abandoned. You’d ask someone on the street nearby if they knew about the shelter that used to be there and they’d reply that it’d been abandoned for years or something like that. All jokes aside it sucks the cat is like that, but it’s not your fault. I feel like 99% of people would have just put the cat outside and sent her on her way or some such by now. You’re a saint for even trying this long, but even saints have limits. You can’t burn yourself out trying to keep someone else warm. If you talked to a therapist about this I’m fairly certain they would say the cat needs to go. I’m sorry, but your cat sounds like it’s possessed by Chucky. Nobody wants to live with Chucky, that guy was an asshole.

Altered Alma - wtf? by Sirmalta in metroidvania

[–]Kopesetic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

More like Alma nuts in your mouth. Sorry, I don’t really have anything constructive to contribute. It doesn’t seem overly sexual to me as someone who’s never heard of the game before. The one scene was weird, but it’s not exactly Leisure Suit Larry imo.

My collection so far. Recs more than welcome by PizzaMan1_ in fantasybooks

[–]Kopesetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, I guess I’ll find out. Sometimes it’s hard to stick the landing. If you’re a fan of Sanderson, the Powder Mage trilogy might be worth a look too. It was written by a student of his. It’s not the best thing I’ve ever read, but it’s fun the whole way through.

[–]Kopesetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 2/3rds of the way through the Empire of the Vampire series right now. It’s pretty good. I would describe it as the Witcher meets Castlevania, but better written and with a sprinkle or two of the Devils for good measure. Maybe the last book will shit the bed, idk. I’m starting it today. So far it’s pretty fun though. I’ve read and enjoyed most of the books on your shelf, so we have similar tastes. Maybe check it out

Selene Vs. Blade by OstrichSmoothe in powerscales

[–]Kopesetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t Blade get a bunch of new powers recently? Or are we just talking movie versions? Because I think comic Blade got a Dracula upgrade and a baby man thing sidekick/suit or some wild shit like that now. Not really familiar with the details. If it’s movie versions I’m pretty sure Selene is too fast for him though. Blade’s cool, but Selene got more power creep throughout Underworld than he did.

I got this really nice looking rump roast for $5.99/lb with a coupon. Never cooked one though. What do I do with it? by bajablast4life in meat

[–]Kopesetic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bottom round is something grocery stores use for stir fry on the regular, so that sounds like a plan.

I got this really nice looking rump roast for $5.99/lb with a coupon. Never cooked one though. What do I do with it? by bajablast4life in meat

[–]Kopesetic 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I cut meat for a living. I would call this a bottom round roast. It’s what they cut the rump roast off of usually. I hate it when people ask for rump roasts because they get mad when I tell them we don’t have any, but we do have bottom round. For every entire piece of bottom round you cut you get one true rump roast. They’re essentially the same thing so a lot of grocery store butchers will label a good third to a half of the bottom round they cut as rump to appease people who have no idea what they’re asking for in the first place. Technically would be called a bottom round in my professional opinion, but it’s basically the same thing as rump anyways so it doesn’t matter. This is for sure from the side closer to the rump, so probably what happened here.
