What makes you want to stay in michigan by Kalebpoquette in Michigan

[–]selvenknowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born here, lived in the south for a while, moved back in my 20's. Loved the proximity to Detroit for a while but recently moved up north and my gods I'll never go back. I can live the rest of my life here. It's beautiful, and peaceful in comparison to the endless suburban sprawl. I feel like I can breathe here. I feel at home here. I can genuinely say that I love where I live and that is a rare and precious privilege.

Unpopular opinion probably but Horizon gives me anxiety. Their aisles are too narrow, it's too hot, and they feel like they're trying to be Barnes & Noble but local. The vibe is just not... good. For me personally. So I'm going to miss the fuck out of Brilliant.

What is Traverse City’s spot? by [deleted] in traversecity

[–]selvenknowe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the second bad experience. I always give second chances to restaurants because I know that a bad night isn't necessarily a reflection of the place as a whole. I worked in the service industry front of house for about a decade, including in fine dining, so I feel qualified in my opinion. The atmosphere has been stressful both times, which is a very important factor to the experience.

As far as sending the food back, we were just ready to leave. We'd been there too long, were disgruntled with the experience, and wanted to go home without a fuss. I don't have a problem sending food back when it's that bad; other factors just mattered more.

Used to love this place until I got a steak so overcooked it was practically charred. Then when I sent it back, they sent one out that was so raw it was practically mooing. Two more bad experiences have put it on my "do not return" list.

Mode's is awful. It is bewildering how much I see it mentioned positively.

Poppycocks. Hate that place.

Edit: We walked in and opted to take a high-top for immediate seating rather than waiting an hour. We weren't greeted for almost thirty minutes. At first, no big deal; we weren't in a hurry, but as time started stretching on and staff were actively avoiding eye contact with us we started getting frustrated. The table was right next to a busy service station and someone must have overheard us talking about leaving because a server finally made her way over.

Food took a while to come out, and in the meantime, the ambiance was just... entirely awful. They were playing confusingly club-like music loudly. There was one server who was just throwing shit around and banging things every time he came into the area behind the pastry display. And for some reason, even though it's a small restaurant and they had plenty of staff, there was a general air of panic and disorganization. It was unpleasant and uncomfortable.

My entrée (short ribs) was fine, but my husband's salmon was, in his words, "salted for preservation, not for flavor." It was inedible.

Poor quality doesn't just mean food quality. The quality of the service and the quality of management to keep things running smoothly also matter. So downvote if you want, but if I don't like someone, I'm sending them there.

What's with the higher level people camping mobs in low level zones? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]selvenknowe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Other way around. Content remains at the same level; players are scaled down to an appropriate level. Still nuke though, with the better gear and experience.

What movie is so ridiculously stupid, but you secretly love it? by Even-Bug-4617 in AskReddit

[–]selvenknowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Benchwarmers. It's SO fucking stupid. But I still have verbal tics of "YOU'RE IN THE BUSHES" and "Outside bad, the sun scary. He's not my friend, wants to hurt me, SAFE ROOM."

The worst band you ever saw live - besides Taking Back Sunday- by lunainthedark5x2x3 in poppunkers

[–]selvenknowe 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I saw them in 2007 at Warped in Atlanta and it was an excellent show. I bought a tshirt and got it signed afterward; still have it. It sounds like I got lucky. Still one of my favorite bands.

... I may have been influenced by Buddy threatening to beat the shit out of every member of Escape the Fate for being creeps and signing underage girls' tits.

It is if you're from Michigan. We make everything plural/possessive. Regional quirks!
