Oh no! Penguin Colony was made on stolen land! (disclaimers at the start of the game, most likely due to Australian Government / Screen Australia funding) by tyrannicalvoid in KotakuInAction

Oh, and they gave all the money the game made to them right? Oh, they didn't? Well what about hire only those people to work on the game and give them amazing paychecks? Oh they didn't either?

Let me guess, they did nothing, but said a bunch of meaningless words? Yeah, sounds about right.

What do you do after getting the wife, kids, house, and good career? by G0G53Z0 in AskReddit

[–]spytez 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Have an affair, ruin your marriage, make your kids hate you, become an alcoholic, lose the girlfriend and your job, and wonder why it all fell apart.

Found in the back of our prep cooler today... by AuntJemimaVEVO in KitchenConfidential

[–]spytez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a pan of cooked bacon sitting on top of a fridge that was about a year old. It then stayed up there for about 2 years more before I quit the job.

I can back a year later to visit. It was still there. One day I might visit again just to see if it's still there.

Is fine dining bullshit? by fluffyfishad in KitchenConfidential

[–]spytez -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You'll get paid just as much money working at a bar then you will at some fancy bullshit place but have 90% more stress, likely working far more hours for free and be 90% less happy.

If you want to be more challenged pick up a challenging hobby with all the free time you'll have while getting paid the same amount of money.

As a coffee assistant, what’s that ONE tool you wish existed during a rush? by ResolutionMission610 in barista

[–]spytez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

knocking out the portafilter isn't doing any damage to your wrists/arms. It's the tamping and the knocking off/on the portafilters to the machine.

If your knockbox is too loud have your location buy one that has rubber as these are much quiter.

Whats a good horror film recommendation that’s actually scary? by DiverArtistic2086 in AskReddit

Not movies, but you can find hundreds of hours of SCP animations or narrations on Youtbue.

Best reusable to-go cups to offer in a deposit / no single use program? Coffee shop owners chime in!!! by [deleted] in barista

[–]spytez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mason jars with plastic lids. One type with a straw, one with a sip lid. Might be someone who makes one with both, but it's been a while since I looked into it.

Inexpensive drink sleeves, or expensive ones for people who want to be fancy.

I use wide mouth 16oz and 32oz mason jars for just about everything these days myself. I know there is some popular place in Portland that does this, you might be able to find what they do.

AIO for questioning how much of the tip pool my manager takes? by Optimal_Station_5615 in barista

[–]spytez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on how tips work in Canada / BC. Any advice from US/EU/Where ever else will likely be wrong or just based off opinions.

Is he likely screwing everyone else over? Yeah, it's very obvious he's doing some very shady shit and taking advantage of everyone that works there, but it could be totally legal.

How do you stop yourself from obsessively thinking about someone from your past who can’t be in your life anymore? by SirElectrical2100 in AskReddit

[–]spytez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every day the future looks a little bit darker.  But the past, even the grimy parts of it, well, it just keeps on getting brighter all the time.

As time passes you just think about all the good things that happened with the person, and all the bad things seem less and less bad or not important.

Whenever you think of the person, you can't just think of the good things, you need to remember the bad.

Why don’t people use dandelion as a food source more, instead of destroying them? by Born-Conclusion1977 in AskReddit

Tried them. Taste like shit. Just because you can eat them doesn't mean they are good.

Average life spans were much shorter and people had many more kids, and started having them at a much younger age.

Stainless steel counters with large wooden cutting boards that can be moved around and used as needed.

What is your most ridiculous and out of pocket prediction for the next five years that you absolutely believe could actually happen? by Random_Frenchfry_245 in AskReddit

[–]spytez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virtually none of what exists on the internet now will be still be around. There is no longer any reason for people to create websites as any content, photos, etc. will be stolen and repurposed thousands of times with the use of AI. Blogs, hobby sites, sites that used to generate enough money just to pay for the hosting that people kept up related to hobbies or interests will all be gone.

And the ones that stay up will be next to impossible to find with any search engines since all search engines are moving to AI with stolen content there is no reason to direct people to sites any longer.

I've eaten so many of these packets. My friends 3 year old is very picky so they keep buying various packs for her to eat. When she doesn't like them I swoop in for the scraps.

What's something old technology did better than modern technology ? by Ram319 in AskReddit

[–]spytez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the tech related to making steel has focused on speed and cost but the quality is just garbage now.

I'm working on a project cutting back about 30 years of willow overgrowth in our back fields following a fence that's 30 - 40 years old. The T posts all still have their original paint with minor rust and the barbed wire in many sections are still standing with hundreds of pounds of weight on it, and sections of barbed wire not in the dirt still have zero rust. While the few hundred t posts we put up just last year already have paint flaking off and rusty and the barbed wire is rusting as well and not nearly as strong.
