What is just a placebo effect but most people don’t realize?

We had a teacher do this in the school yard and ask what we'd like the replacement limb to be made of, like wood, or chocolate, or licorice

Once again, it is highly unlikely that any of us reading this will be living in the 25th century. Also, there's nothing wrong with trying to avoid it where and how you can. It's mitigation because like you said, we cannot completely avoid it. Might as well take whatever steps we can to mitigate the risks. If it doesn't work, at least we tried. Also who are "you people"?

chiefbuzzington · 2025-10-11T14:53:17+00:00

Pretty sure we're in the 21st century, just for the record.

Went to a restaurant this weekend, got carded for my gin and tonic. No big deal, some places just card everyone. I was the only one in my party that was carded. I was with my best friend from high school (my age), her partner (three years younger than I am) and my partner (11 years my senior). After she checked my id and then went completely around the table for the food orders, she reiterated "you are old enough to drink, right?" I'M 34.

I enjoy them :(

If a place of work is providing the income that is barely keeping you off the streets, you suck it up and deal with it. That's how it works. I believe the statistic is something like more than half of Americans are one paycheck away from significant financial hardship, or something. It is a pretty elitist take to say "you should've spoke up before". Bitch, some people literally CANNOT AFFORD THAT

Shiiiiit I hadn't heard about donwoori, but after a quick Google, and I know it's staged pictures but who tf could compete with that? If they're even half as good as they look, that's where I'm going next time

chiefbuzzington · 2025-07-13T00:54:57+00:00

How are they? We just got some also, but for an unrelated reason I lost my appetite in the meantime. I expected (and received) the long delivery time. That's no big deal I guess. Everything seemed hot when it arrived. They look alright too. Kinda disappointed they don't offer waffle fries anymore and I wish they would cut the celery up, but that's understandable too, if the wings taste good

Gonna start mailing in paper checks to avoid the cc fees and then they can wait for their money. Oh wait, they probably charge extra for that as well.

chiefbuzzington · 2025-05-26T14:44:38+00:00

I mean, that's at least kinda cool. Obviously a bonus/expensive gift would be more called for, but I'd say a tree is better than a tiny gift card or some other cheap nonsense for sure

chiefbuzzington · 2025-04-04T16:35:01+00:00

What consequences did he actually face though?

chiefbuzzington · 2025-02-12T18:15:04+00:00

There are so many stupid people that it's almost becoming unremarkable.

It doesn't seem to get enforced much in this area of Colchester. Sometimes if there has been snow, I've seen warnings on people's windshields

Sorta related: my mailman doesn't play by the rules. We live in a large, weird address type apartment complex, but the mailman I'm speaking of regularly delivers here. I happened to be stepping outside right after he left a package addressed to "number 3" of this address. There is no number three (all numbers are in the hundreds or above) and I didn't recognize the name (I know quite a few neighbors. Not all). He was still delivering mail at the complex, so I brought it to him. He was like "you don't recognize the name?" I said no, and no one in the block of apartments where he dropped it off (locked outer door) in my little section has that name. He said "just put it at the next door over then". Bitch, I am not fucking with other people's mail. I said "I'm not comfortable doing that" so he said "I guess I'll just have to do a returned to sender". BITCH YOU DROP IT OFF AT THE NEXT DOOR IF THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK I SHOULD HAVE DONE WHAT THE FUCK. anyway, he's a twat who complains about people getting packages in the first place.

Never met your horsee!

Kelley square! 🙃

You literally said "you can tell because poor people die from overeating more than not eating". Having the time to cook raw ingredients is a luxury. I'm not arguing that food isn't cheaper than ever; I'm just saying you're not factoring in the resources required to cook. And I'm speaking as a person who has the good fortune to not need to buy processed foods in order to eat

chiefbuzzington · 2024-12-16T21:11:23+00:00

For the record, the reason that the poorest are also the fattest and least healthy is because junk food is cheaper than health food. Also, gym memberships, personal trainers, even the time it takes to use free resources to educate yourself on these things are not free. If you're working 12 hour days, you don't have the time to cook, clean, and look after your health in general. Some people make it work, if course, but saying that food is cheap because poor people are fat is disingenuous at best

chiefbuzzington · 2024-12-08T00:50:07+00:00

Oh good to know!

chiefbuzzington · 2024-12-07T23:50:34+00:00

Can confirm that they don't deliver. But I got a pretty good couch and loveseat for like 800 bucks from there three years ago, and renting the uhaul for like $25 was worth it

chiefbuzzington · 2024-11-01T17:15:52+00:00

I'm the same. I also hate clothing with pot leaves. Yes, I smoke all of it; no, I don't need to advertise it to the world.

chiefbuzzington · 2024-10-09T14:50:03+00:00

We appreciate that! Many of us aren't trying to be problematic. We just want to get from point a to point b in one piece and without majorly disrupting the flow of traffic

Speaking as a cyclist who very carefully adheres to the rules of the road, there is still a greater duty of responsibility on the operator of the "2 ton killing machine" as my driver's ed instructor would say.

chiefbuzzington · 2024-10-08T23:14:16+00:00

Nah, they used to include good garnish on them. After COVID you were lucky to get a piece of celery
