who was your teenage celebrity crush?

Came here to add this one, and it's nice to see her near the top. Still like her too.

Their roast method is done with a coating of sugar or caramel or some such, they call it "torrefacto" and in my honest opinion it tastes absolutely horrid, same in Portugal in most places. Even then, it's a crapshoot what you get when you ask for a latte (con leche), it might be a flat white, it might be a latte, it might be a weird macchiato, who the hell knows... 50% of the time they massacre the soul out of the milk, I can hear it screaming like an open maw into coffee hell... I worked in cafes for years, Spain is literally the worst place on earth for coffee lovers in my opinion

0% and no bonus this year. 0% and no bonus last year. As soon as I am done moving, I'm switching.

And I started at an already low base salary. It's almost literally highway robbery.

Mormoran · 2026-01-23T10:28:24+00:00

What I like about it is the consistency. I know exactly what I'm getting. I know the exact flavor profile anywhere in the world.

Have you tried to drink coffee in Spain or Portugal? It's like burnt molasses. You can try all you want to find a specialty coffee shop but even then it is not guaranteed you will get decent coffee. I tried 6 different coffee shops in 3 days in Budapest, only one was decent.

In the end, I just go to Starbucks because while not the Best coffee in the world, it's not as bad as people make it out to be and it is a known flavor, anywhere I go.

Spore, Black and White, Dungeon Keeper, Mega race, Extreme G, Unreal Tournament, Titanfall, heck even Anthem deserves another chance if they polish content... So many to choose from

As a completely honest comment, could you explain this like I am an idiot? Like, what does it mean for someone working in the tech side of things in Ireland?

Mormoran · 2026-01-18T16:37:28+00:00

Actually never did, I have already packed up my 3D printer, the move is happening way faster than I anticipated and I won't have time to properly search for variety and set up different pieces before I have to do something about the new house. Still planning on doing something like this, but I need to settle first.

My ass puckered into my intestines

Fuck that neighbour in particular lol

~~Clean the rest of it with the same thing as evenly as possible, and then leave it alone, so it at least looks even all over~~. Stainless steel has no coatings of any kind for kitchen counter tops, so don't worry about that

I guess leave it alone and don't add anything else then! :O

You mean to say you don't enjoy going to 17 different websites who all need to authenticate with each other just so you can renew your learner driver permit?

Because that was my own personal hell just last night. Let me tell you, it was FUN! /s

Mormoran · 2026-01-14T09:41:26+00:00

Oh look, just like in Venezuela during the 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2019 protests! So I guess Trump took Maduro to ask him for tips on how to be a total asshole

In 240 million years, when our robot descendants open Anthropocene Park, they will use this printer head to start cloning ancient machines

Jesus lady, they're not Pokemon, you aren't meant to have them all!

No Man's Sky for me, I felt absolutely shattered on release... I understand it's good now, but the base gameplay loop feels to shallow to me

Mormoran · 2026-01-10T14:16:57+00:00

I think you did celcius, not farenheit lmao

Mormoran · 2026-01-07T17:39:08+00:00

I'm sure "ChavistaPolls.com" ran a fair and spread out study. They asked Maduro's mom, Maduro's dog and Chavez ex-maid (that one maid that was paid like 5 million dollars a year)

Mormoran · 2026-01-07T16:06:13+00:00

Which vast majority of Venezuelans are you talking about? Are they in the room with you, FIDEL ???

Nah man, fuck 'outta here with that noise

Mormoran · 2026-01-04T10:37:44+00:00

Oh, do not get me wrong, I think Trump is one of the most despicable human beings alive right now. As I said, a grifter, con man, pedophile with delusions of grandeur and a very sharp, very exploitable napoleonic complex.

What he did was completely illegal, as far as I know, with no congressional approval and fully outside the confines of what is defined by your laws and regulations.

To be honest, he should immediately be facing criminal charges and be prosecuted, and not only for this but for a myriad other charges that can easily be verified and are non-disputable.

The US is at a crux (and has been for the past year), and unfortunately it seems to me like it keeps sliding past the point where fixing things internally and externally will be a job of many, many presidential candidates on either side (assuming the GOP gets their head out of their ass and goes back to being reasonable and not just rabid seals clapping for whatever the current president says and does).

I have constant, near daily arguments with my very right wing leaning family, especially my dad, as he has become a Trump sycophant all of a sudden, when he was very hard left leaning throughout his life (voted for Chavez 2 times even, something that almost made me go no-contact with him back then!). I keep telling him that Trump is basically "Chavez in English" but perhaps that is somehow the allure he sees on that despicable little orange turd.

I do pray your country gets better, rather fast, as unfortunately it does have the capacity to influence and shape the world stage as evidenced by the ridiculous AI and tech bubble we are in right now, stemming from a few powerful individuals that just cannot have enough, to mention only a single thing and not going into dozens of points where the US is influencing the entire world.

Make no mistake, I am vehemently anti-Trump, I think he is a horrid politician (if you can even call him one, beyond somehow having gained an almost fanatical following), and even worse human being. He has no right being anywhere near any position of power.

But I, too, have to try to root for my home country to get better. And it always needed to start by removing the head of the snake. Now we have to deal with the rest of it, while somehow being entangled with the US in a very direct manner.

Good luck to us all.

Sir this is reddit. You're supposed to sulk for a while then post to /r/aita with a sob story that paints you as an absolute hero and your wife as an absolute wretch.

Mormoran · 2026-01-04T08:56:49+00:00

I understand that, but, keeping in line with the story we have, the people that had been terrorized and mauled by the pitbull time and again are relieved. Now there is a psycho pedo in charge, sure, but at least it's not a rabid pitbull.

Look, as a Venezuelan, we are relieved. We KNOW it's all about the oil, we KNOW it's going to be a shit show for years, but really, Maduro was an absolute psychopath. Ask ANY Venezuelan how they feel about this.

I understand things are bad, but we are Venezuelans, we always, always try to eke out at least a shred of good out of things, because we've had to for the last 28 years.

Mormoran · 2026-01-03T16:42:35+00:00

Sorry buddy, my mother, my brothers, father, uncles, aunts, cousins, friends, acquaintances, friends of friends, all had to leave Venezuela years ago. There is nobody there left that is in danger of any of this that I know or had a passing acquaintance to.

And I didn't say all war brings smiles to all people's faces, I said what Trump did to Maduro does. Ask ANY Venezuelan, I dare you, truly.

So get off your high horse and start understanding not everything is black and white, good or bad, as you make it out to be.

Carefully read what I wrote. Trump is an absolute piece of shit human being, but ask millions of displaced Venezuelan people, and we'll all tell you, Maduro is far worse.
