How do people remember which white car is theirs?

I'm always taken a bit aback when people at work just go wild with slurs. You have the r-slur getting used just kinda flippantly for so much stuff where they could easily just pick another word, only had one person at my previous job really say it so this new job with like 4 people that use it is kinda disheartening. Also had a coworker use the f-slur when talking to me, they were quoting one of their children saying something along the lines of "X is for ..." but I'm kinda visibly queer so the sheer gall to just go with it anyway was something new.

Then the conversations I overhear about politics every so often make me just never want to hear them since I'd rather just not know how terrible everyone I work with is, it's easier to just maintain that professional friendliness when I don't have the back of my mind screaming 'THEY'RE HOGS BRAYING FOR THEIR TREATS OVER ALL ELSE'

I love how for the first time since I started this job I have a 2 day span off in the middle of the week timed perfectly to let me jump right in, but the bastards had to set it for the evening. Guess I'll just play Rimworld and pick it up on my next weekend off.

This sounds like a fucking parody

I remember looking it up online and I believe the actual capsaicin levels were like 8000 for the regular but that there was just some funky chemistry that made them feel more spicy. Though I do feel like I might have made them spicier by forgoing making any broth and treating them more like an instant yakisoba.

Oh hey it's that company that protected abusers for years.

I have very little hope for this actually being any good. Studios are made of people that make games and the people that were around to make the previous titles really aren't around any more. The spotlight of Inquisition for me was the excellent weaving of previous world building into the current plot in a way that felt organic and exciting. Now after going through the nightmare of Anthem and then clearly some development hell with this game I have to wonder how many people ended up sticking around and how that will reflect on the final product.

The stories I've read on how Arkane lost a lot of talent often line up with how Bioware has gone. Making a game in a genre the team wasn't interested in with an overall goal to just make more money jumping in on a live service which led to major staff departures means that even should they try again, the studio isn't made of the same people anymore and that expecting another great game is shaky at best and should be approached with at least some realism.

I want it to be good because I've enjoyed the series but it's been 9 years since the last game and the people that made that game good did it despite everything. When they put out cinematic trailers and in-engine screenshots not even 6 months before the announced release, I'm left wondering why they can't show actual stuff from the game. They should be done with the most major systems by now, environments should be made. I've seen this song and dance one too many times in the games industry and until I see people actually playing it I'll temper my expectations.

The nursing home I used to work in had cameras everywhere and I always thought it was standard for the industry for monitoring potential elder abuse. Nope. They used it to micromanage, get a call randomly one day "the door can't be propped open with a chair" on a day when the AC wasn't working and it was ungodly hot inside and that was the only moving air in the place. Or the time they tracked people going into the kitchen to accuse them of stealing food and fire people that had been there over a decade. Or now from what I've heard from people still there, using it to monitor people on their phones and a single time you're caught it's termination on the spot.

Healthcare sucks but it can always be worse.

I hate those N95s, the straps are uncovered and they tangle and rip your hair out, and you'll be swapping masks frequently these days since you're gonna go from COVID+ to COVID- and back and forth. The ones at my current workplace are better except for the fact that they press hard on the bridge of your nose and gradually breaking the skin down. And before anyone says, yes I've been fit tested, it's the most comfortable one they offer at my workplace, the circular ones are even worse.

Saw the original and thought how much it sucked since the guy probably had medical shit to deal with. Having that on top of some shitty court stuff leading to him just making a crappy choice in the face of only crappy choices to where he got humiliated. This just makes it even worse that they just went public humiliation mode on this dude when they couldn't even do their own jobs correctly.

spoilerEnded up using google earth just to give myself a range of what to try. Wonder if someone sold some yugioh cards or something for 1.4k one year and got listed as an exporter as a result

CIA Magic would be like Bioware Magic or Bethesda Magic or even CDPR Magic. They've done bigger shit in the past and changed the world as a result so clearly all they need to do is believe in the magic and crunch really hard and they too can be like the monsters of yore in the 50s and 60s leading South American death squads.

 

Do these count as indoor or outdoor cats since they're locked in prison?

 

Best part is when they started finding new ways to create these products without as much risk, they didn't want to just dump all their old probably infected stock, so they instead sold it in developing nations that hadn't regulated the products properly yet.

 

I was looking for some more vegan yogurt alternatives at the store yesterday so I decided to try a couple brands I hadn't tried before, mainly the oatmilk variety because all the coconut milk variety were gone. Bought an oatmilk yogurt which was fine if a little bland and bought a cup of Mush.

Feel like I could make it myself in a fraction of the time with significantly better oats, flavor, and experience. It was cold, wet, dissolving oats mixed with a strong vanilla flavor that was overwhelming and by the end I was ready to tap out. Without a better word for it, it was mush. They told me from the very beginning that it was mush and I was surprised when I was eating mush. agony-yehaw
