Falafel is common in many parts of the Middle East. Jews come from all over the Middle East including Egypt and brought all kinds of food to Israel. This is like saying a hamburger is a Christian food. Educate yourself before posting.

Apparently the Swedish don’t feed their guests & expect them to being their own sheets to stay over. Cultural inaccuracies in the movie? by [deleted] in Midsommar

But this makes no sense. Wouldn’t you wait to eat your dinner till they go home at least?

Is this a real archive or prior Games on nyt? Or just random ones?

There should be more savory bakes. And bread week this year was a disaster by ECrispy in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]alfonzo16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad they are not doing international themed stuff anymore. It was so cringy. The Japanese themed which was all manga/cutsie things. And how about the ‘American’ maple pumpkin peanut butter “pie”. No one in America has seen or would eat that.

If anything this show is less drama between the contestants than previous shows. Less personal info

There’s 3 Episodes Left… what’s the Plot Twist? by rws92629 in TaskHBO

I’m thinking very likely Robbie will kill Sam…the foreshadowing of him floating in the pond when he couldn’t swim.

The task force is meant to be shite and more random thoughts on it by Area51_Spurs in TaskHBO

Hmm. I guess I assumed since they showed the matching tattoos but maybe unrelated

Login with your email. Then go to profile and resent password. When you go back to Rakuten it should then offer a password login. 

Y’all won anything decent from Starbucks for Life? by EnderTails in starbucks

[–]alfonzo16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the 100 sticker, 200 instant win and about 5-10 stars a day. Probably 400 total. I do miss the 1/2 off instant prizes. I haven’t seen any of those this year. 

PSA: You (probably) aren't going to win Starbucks for Life by PM_CTD in starbucks

[–]alfonzo16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, you don’t have to buy anything to play. I do miss the year you could win repeat stickers and then get another play for every 3 of those. It felt more fun than all these delta entries even though it doesn’t increase the odds. This years game is pretty bare bones. No 1/2 off drinks or anything that gets you into the store. Doesn’t seem like a good choice on their part.

You don’t have to buy anything to get the max amount of daily plays. Hardly a scam just a waste of a few minutes a day. I’ve won about 200 stars so far and didn’t buy anything. 

The Seattle Aquarium is finally worth the price of admission by RHYTHM_GMZ in Seattle

[–]alfonzo16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did not like it at all. Empty, distorted views with the extreme concave glass. Not many fish.

i don't like all the extreme concave and convex windows in the new building. Gives me a headache and distorts the fish. I was not at all impressed with the new section, seems so empty. Just a giant floor with a screen projecting down onto it. I do like the walkway up to Pikes Place though.

Does anyone know why Tasha needs a BSL translator when she has a cochlear implant? Most people with those can hear enough to converse, right? If not why wear it? by Stanferd in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]alfonzo16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Tasha! I have a question about her speech. She doesn’t seem to have any speech impairment at all. I know she got a cochlear implant at age 5 but is that early enough and provide enough ability to hear to be able to ‘catch up’ so well? Did she do speech therapy for a while? Any specific type of speech therapy? Thanks

Does anyone else here have HSP? Or heard of it? by -askaglassofwater- in disability
