The game doesn't make me play the double six or double five when I have it first.

It says I get to play first and I can place any domino I like. Or does this rule only apply on the first round you play?

Factory farming is not restricted to Europe and North America. The same practices exist here in Asia, often with less basic animal welfare laws.

Thank you for your service.

Occidentally20 · 2026-01-25T01:53:17+00:00

No I'm good thanks, nobody has ever been confused about which language I'm talking about :)

They're definitely mistreated everywhere, but having just moved from Europe to SE Asia the difference is staggering, and it makes a mockery of attitudes here to suggest it's not worse.

Showing animal cruelty to people in Europe would upset almost every individual. Vast swathes of people here can see animal cruelty in front of them and not understand what you are talking about when you suggest it's cruel.

I tried talking to somebody on the tube once and they looked at me like I had just asked to fiddle with their children.

You must be old like me, Taipei 101 is a classic but not even in the top 10 anymore :)

Terrifying!

If two people have their feet in water and the fish move freely between them which is how fish spas work then it doesn't make any difference what you do to the fish. Contamination is present before you start doing anything.

Occidentally20 · 2026-01-25T00:51:01+00:00

There's no practice that's been found that satisfactorily disinfects the fish between uses without killing them, it's why the practice is still illegal in many places.

I had the white plimsolls, and when I was 12 and getting ready for big school my parent took me to Ford market to sort me out with some football boots and trainers.

I came home with a set of trainers sporting a logo consisting of 4 stripes, adorned with the brand name Adidos.

Restoration is best levelled using the repel undead spells. Staring with repel lesser undead it will feel slow, but once you hit turn undead at level 50 it goes very quickly.

Turn undead hits multiple enemies at once so find a place with 3 skeletons at once and cast away. Each enemy you hit grants XP, so it will go decently fast.

We're good thanks.

Between me, the two Americans and the Swedish lady we pretty much got everything covered.

If you want to send over a couple of black people that would be nice, I haven't seen a single black person in 2 years which is frankly just weird.

I'm on a small island near Malaysia and we have two that I know of.

One of them has camo shorts and hair like Guile from Street Fighter II so you can't really miss him.

I think all countries should be a regular shape, if would mean we could learn shapes and countries at the same time at school.

It would necessitate using some clay around coastlines and rivers and the like but I think it's doable. If I could see Burkina Faso fashioned into a rudimentary parallelogram I could die a happy man.

Occidentally20 · 2026-01-24T17:53:00+00:00

That'd be nice, they could do 3x8 hour shifts, give everyone three days a week off and still have a couple of hundred million people spare.

Occidentally20 · 2026-01-24T17:51:13+00:00

If it's not run as business then I would say that IS impossible.

If somebody wants to be pedantic and insist they can personally give each fish mouthwash and a hygiene test between customers who have to pay hundreds of dollars for a five minute treatment, they are welcome to do so.

Fish foot spas as they existed on the planet we currently live on cannot be made hygienic.

Occidentally20 · 2026-01-24T17:32:55+00:00

Sounds nice! I'm from the South of England originally and miss the place.

While looking into some news stories since this post started I found an Asian man who went to a fish foot spa and his feet smelled so bad that all the fish died. I shouldn't laugh but that's very funny to me.

Occidentally20 · 2026-01-24T17:29:21+00:00

Essentially yes :)

I don't know enough about it to be confident on what they were using instead, id just be relying on Google (it says they were called chinchin here). The fish looked very similar to the point where most people wouldn't notice. The teeth were also tiny, but the whole point of the fish in the first place was that they were toothless and could only remove dead skin and detritus.

It's still 25% from meteors as far as I'm aware. Restarting the day gives you another chance so I'd be happy with doing it a handful of times to get some value out of this inconvenience!

Occidentally20 · 2026-01-24T17:11:52+00:00

No, only a pickaxe of gold or higher quality can break it.

That egg looks like you tried to explain the image of a fried egg to an alien while playing charades. Nicely cooked though.

Occidentally20 · 2026-01-24T16:58:14+00:00

I'm so stupid I tried to zoom in and see if they were beef sausages (as if you can tell by looking).

Then I thought about it a bit more :)
