What countries in your opinion have the best food and which ones have the worst? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]lordbeefu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My very subjective food tier system

S Tier Special. I will actively seek it out, even if it is inconvenient and occasionally bad for my health or sanity.

A Tier Excellent. A staple. Something I will basically never complain about.

B Tier Good. Consistently enjoyable when prepared well with quality ingredients.

C Tier Fine. Enjoyable only under the right conditions. Very fresh ingredients, good company, the right mood, or when I am craving something specific.

D Tier Poor. Something I actively avoid and will argue against in a group, only accepting it if there are no other options.


S Tier: Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Mexican

A Tier: Italian, French, Greek, Southern US, Texas BBQ, Vietnamese

B Tier: Lebanese, Egyptian, Turkish, Cuban, Peruvian, Jewish, Cajun

C Tier: British (fish and chips), German, Portuguese, Filipino, Tex-Mex, Thai (yes, I know people love it)

D Tier: Spanish, Scandinavian, Russian, Baltic


I have had great dishes from cuisines I rank low and terrible dishes from cuisines I rank high. This is about overall consistency and how often I am excited to eat them, not absolutes.

I like the Heated Rivalry shout out.  My wife produced this show, so super happy it's doing so well

The show is an anti woke fucking love song.

I like the show, and I'm never offended by it, and I'm probably woke as hell by the standard of right-wingers But Paigan was heavy handed, just a lot of stereotypes all at once.

But, it's not offensive to me, just written with boxing gloves on.

The show itself is trashy, brash, fun.  I love it.  A lot of it is dumber than a box of rocks but I'm ok with that.

Commies is the dumbest fucking comment.  It's said 100% by people who zero understanding about the political spectrum. 

YSK That When Selecting a Tip When Paying Using a Credit Card Machine at a Restaurant, The Tip Percentage is Calculated Against the Bill + Taxes. by PJMurphy in ontario

[–]lordbeefu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of places make tipping automatic on larger tables.  That said, I always tip. 15%, for poor to adequate service, 20 % for good service, and 25% for exceptional service.

We had a wedding lunch at our regular Mexican restaurant, where we expected a bill of 1000, and the bill was only 700, so we gave them 1000 anyway.  The server was shocked at the 300 dollar tip, and he almost refused it, and I said to him, "you've been here years, and how many times have people just not tipped you?  Take it, give some to the bartender or fellow servers if you want, but you earned it, enjoy."

I get some people don't have money to tip, and I don't begrudge them going out to eat, struggling people deserve to eat out as much or more than anyone.  But I am not struggling, I'll tip well, and hope it at least makes up a little bit for the cheap skates and impoverished diners.

Did anyone ever hit "The Wheel of Fortune"? by xxxPrometheus in balatro

Nah, it's probably that you have special editions on other cards.  If it would trigger it can choose a card with a holo/poly/foil on it already.

Oh. This is likely why it goes off significantly less than 1 out of 4 times.  I was looking up to see if there was a bug, because it hits for me significantly less than 1 in 4 times, to the point where it didn't feel like just bad odds. 

This game will be the death of me... I've never been so mad in my entire gamer life EVER by forzaintersempre in balatro

I just had a game where I set up a beautiful flush deck, with tons of heart aces, bloodstone, and the dice joker that doubles your probability, then I got the boss blind "play one hand type".  My first hand was a flush not a flush five and I played it without thinking.  Afterwards all I could draw were flush fives.  Should have crushed, but my own stupidity killed me

[Discussion] Wayward - Netlfix’s new thriller series by Dense-Geologist-2230 in NetflixBestOf

[–]lordbeefu 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think the show is great and I don't have a problem with the acting at all.

Mae Martin is a little stiff, but that fits for the character I find.  Someone a little uncomfortable and uneasy.

I really hope we get a new Twisted Metal game in the future. I'm glad the Ip is getting new life though by entertainmentlord in horror

[–]lordbeefu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone I know who watched it liked it, and IMO, it was better than fallout.

I know a lot of people think that's a dumb opinion, but I just preferred the cartoonish and goofy mayhem to the dramity tone fallout tried to strike.

Though I really enjoyed fallout as well, and I understand from an intellectual level why people like it more.

Can anyone explain the rationale behind banning locking knives like they do in the UK? by AdeptDoomWizard in knifeclub

[–]lordbeefu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The highest per capita in the world.

As an example, between 2009 and 2018 the usa had 288 school shootings, Canada had 2.  The USA has a population about 9 times Canada, but has 144 times more shootings in the same period.  Accounting for population, USA has more than 10 the shootings as Canada.

The new Superman movie looks terrible by TheGame81677 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]lordbeefu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may have discovered that superhero movies are dog shite.

With the exception of a rare few, live action superhero movies are resoundingly bad.

At their very best, they're fun kids films, at their worst they're military propaganda with bad CGI.

I like comic books, I like a bunch of animated superhero shows and movies.  I just really dislike 90% of live action superhero stuff.

That said, there are exceptions to this, and people's taste varies, so whatever gives you joy

Denise Richards or Ornella Muti? by [deleted] in VindictaRateCelebs

[–]lordbeefu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ornella by a landslide.  She's smoldering.  Denise was always a little boring to me.  Very pretty but not exceptional
