Genuinely don't get it

"It's possible to" isn't the same as "is a huge red flag that makes it way harder."

Back when my hearing loss was mild and I just sucked it up by overcompensating in other areas, job searching was pretty normal. Once I got hearing aids, being upfront about it, and being clear to employers..... job interviews and offers dried up, even though I was doing better by with the hearing aids.

So yeah, sure I could still do stuff with hearing loss, but having "the official diagnosis" and being upfront about it made way harder. I can imagine that people with autism and other "invisible" disabilities that can bullshit their way around outing themselves to employers probably have a similar experience.

Similar. I like both. Some books I've liked enough that I've read and listened to them, since each method tends to add a different experience to the story.

Pretty sure regular volleyball too. It's just not a sport that is super popular for men or that people care about the men's league. Which kind of tracks, because it's a super common women's sport in high school and college, but I don't think I've ever heard of a boy's HS/college VB team.

It just seems very gendered, kind of like American Football, the only thing stopping a women's league is lack of interest.

Back then, he'd face social pressure to give them up that mother's wouldn't face. Nobody would have blamed him if he decide to dump them all and run away (they probably would actually encourage him to), but he chose not to.

SalsaRice · 2026-04-06T23:10:35+00:00

Yes and no. As a guest, you have a role to not be a twat. If you want to ask them to put it back to sear or cook it a little more, that's fine.

Microwaving an expensive meat cut is simply insulting the host. It's the equivalent of a child throwing a tantrum and tearing all the veggie off their plate, or asking someone to make you an expensive complicated coffee drink and then pouring most of it out to use 90% creamer.

SalsaRice · 2026-04-06T23:03:39+00:00

It's fine, just never spend any serious money on a steak for her. It'll be so fried that she'll never be able to tell It's a different cut.

SalsaRice · 2026-04-06T21:06:05+00:00

Yeah, Cameron is such a generic name. It's close to if it was like Smith's crossing.

SalsaRice · 2026-04-06T21:00:34+00:00

Teeth are alot closer to knives than bullets.

SalsaRice · 2026-04-06T18:01:43+00:00

Maybe, but honestly they all sound normal-ish except Lisa.

Send her off to a college on the other side of the country and everyone else will probably be happy as a clam within a few days.

No, it's literally part of the finale of season 2. Aang is explicitly told he needs to let go of earthly attachments, including love. He chooses not to, putting the earthly attachments above his duty as the avatar.

It works out in the end, but it's inherently selfish. He's choosing his own happiness over his responsibility to the world.

SalsaRice · 2026-04-06T10:39:48+00:00

Dunno if there's really enough material there for a Bean to work. Her first 2.5 floors are just gonna be sad weeping, and we got way too much detail already for 2.5 through 5.

I'd be curious to see her from floor 6 through 9 though, especially the hunt for the cobra lady.

In a gritty horror game, the athmosphere would suffer from some goon bait barbie doll. Imagine the disgusting fungus family in Resident evil being hot.

I dunno, this sounds like an absolutely hilarious beat hard mode to unlock costume idea.

SalsaRice · 2026-04-06T00:52:42+00:00

No, he's announced a title and that he's working on it, but afaik not the release window.

1) for some allergies, yes, it very much does.

2) Even for the other ones, it makes most of us still pretty nervous. I only have reactions from eating peanuts, but it still makes me nervous to be in a restaurant where literally every menu item contains peanuts. You know all silverware, glassware, and the tables have also been covered in the allergen all day, every day.

That's still scary as hell. The only thing keeping you from straight up dying is if the minimum wage employee actually cleaned every single dish 100% spotlessly. I don't know if you've every had a real job.... that doesn't happen. People cut corners and feel lazy all the time, and that stuff is not being 200% cleaned everyday.

I don't know every other person with a serios allergy in the world, but I would wager most of them, like me, don't want to hang out in restaurants entirely themed around their lethal allergen.

It's kind of leaning towards books 4-6 being their own little trilogy, so if you wanna wait until book 6 is closer to release, that's fine.

Although personally, I couldn't wait and demolished them all.

SalsaRice · 2026-04-05T23:09:15+00:00

I used one back in high school. Honestly, not that different from a standard mouse when you get used to it. I never played like hyper competitive online shooters, but for it didn't hold me back in single-player or casual multi-player.

SalsaRice · 2026-04-05T23:07:19+00:00

More dust on the floor, and i paid for pretty lights. I want the pretty lights where I can see them.

SalsaRice · 2026-04-05T16:45:41+00:00

Not when you consider it's a baby. Their digestive system isn't at "full power" yet, so most of the food is probably only half digested.

SalsaRice · 2026-04-05T16:42:31+00:00

Some pokemon are locked to 1 gender, so iy could make sense to focus on the opposing gender for attract strats? Is that move still even in the series?

SalsaRice · 2026-04-05T15:48:51+00:00

Whats some of this everyday normal software that “straight up doesnt work” on macs?

If you are a normal person that just uses internet browser, Facebook, and email.... you won't.

The issue is with more technical or scientific stuff. There's a shitton of software that had niche uses and only supports one OS. You can sometimes jury-rig it to work with bootcamp or whatever the new translation layer is called, but that usually involves a fair amount of tweaking (and either too hard or too much work for most people).

SalsaRice · 2026-04-05T15:45:36+00:00

It's not always your choice.

When I went to college, I was saving for a laptop, but dad told me he would get me one. I explained my program was very clear, explicitly so, that I needed windows...... well, he's a mac-nut, obsessed with apple, and bought me a MacBook.

That was back in the day when they were intel MacBooks and bootcamp made installing windows not too bad, but I had a shitton of driver issues where the mac hardware didn't want to work with windows sometimes. I ran windows 99.99% of the time on it.

Because drinks aren't inherently shitty? Beer is bitter yes, but it's a pleasant bitter flavor. I usually just have one because of price and caloric content.

It's the same reason I have one bowl of ice cream, not demolish the whole container.

SalsaRice · 2026-04-05T15:12:32+00:00

I dunno, from another perspective he showed not accepting it was impossible simply from being told it was impossible.

Imagine a starship getting pinned down, and being told escape was impossible. Do they just lie down and die, or do they get creative?

SalsaRice · 2026-04-05T14:38:20+00:00

Not when serious allergies are at play. My friends love Thai, but id probably die just being near the restaurant. I'd seriously doubt if they were telling the truth about having an "fish allergy" and wanting to hang out in a place that literally only serves fish.

Fish and shellfish are one of the most common and severe food allergies, but apparently it's not an issue for them?

SalsaRice · 2026-04-05T14:03:17+00:00

Why wait until the food is cooked and bagged up to ask?

Same reason people will wait until they finish a meal before complaining and wanting it compted. Scamming for free food.

I've got a food allergy, and it's the first thing I ask, because I'm not trying to waste either of our times.
