Absolutely, bringing laughter and curiosity to people worldwide 2K years later is THE way to face death. But that guy is gonna be hard to beat..

Oh hell no, my last known action on this earth is NOT gonna be spent complaining about someone else's music skills. Unless they are playing a vuvuzela or something..

I've caught myself thinking it was an Onion article before, only to discover it wasn't. And I've heard these morons refer to someone as both Jewish and Palestinian in the same sentence. And woke and commie. So this isn't that far into unbelievable.

I had to fight an annoying bug like this in our companys frontend code once. That specific country's pretty-date settings insisted on returning only the last two digits of a year, and the UI framework's date input field read it like that before parsing it back to a date.

And if he doesn't, thats a "loss" for some reason. Nothing is actually lost mind you, there is no 7.5 trillion pounds of baby meat in a dump somewhere.

Nobody ever knows. I personally upvoted because I agree that less social pressure to follow norms is good, and i didn't know I was in the unpopular opinion sub.

Coward? What is it for him to fear?

For us on a mental break...down, having delivery available is our chance at a decent dinner. Yes its expensive but im paying for not having to spend an hour making the dinner and not having to sit in a restaurant waiting for a to-go meal and not having to interact with people. Neither which I would do anyway. Its better than staring hungry at the ceiling but too depressed to do anything about it so when I finally is so hungry I can't even sleep I go out to a night-open kiosk and buy myself a bag of potato chips and some soda or a frozen pizza.

Well, that was a very specific example for why the post-covid app delivery trend is awesome. Before it the only delivery was pizza around here.

Though I do wish there was more variation. Restaurants are too city-district grouped. Within my delivery area (where I can still get a meal still hot and not pay extra), Torshov in Oslo, there is mostly burgers, kebabs, thai, and sushi food restaurants. Fish meals, italian, or sandwiches needs to be shipped from centrum. Norwegian-food style restaurants don't do delivery. Not that I'm complaining, I'm just suggesting improvements to some strangers on the web that can do nothing about it. 🫤

Theres a small problem with this: Fewer young workers to care for all the childless old people.

Or so they say.. I don't know, sounds like a problem we would have to deal with eventually anyway as earth population growth slows and average life span grows. Doesn't help that healthcare workers are underpaid and medicine is overpriced, I'm sure.

Yeah, sex scene and sex jokes was a bit surprising, compared to how tame Bethesda games are on stuff like that. Well, at least the unmodded ones.

But didn't scare me away after first episode either. Looks promising.

I doubt it. But I want to know too.

So is the Buffet Pass worth getting? I heard the Dead Meat meal is rather dry without it, but it nearly doubles the price of the meal.
