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.

After waiting almost 2 weeks for all the various parts to arrive for my new keyboard, I'm now stuck having to learn how to use QMK and create custom RGB coding if I want more than rainbow circle RGB and I hate coding. Doesn't help that this model isn't available on the QMK default list so everything is just that much more frustrating through it's all sorta starting to click I guess.

Skibidi toilet is a gmod shitpost that blew up with gen alpha by being a mix of power fantasy and continuously increasing power levels, a catchy song, and a head sticking out from a toilet singing. If you have an hour I'd say it's worth checking the whole thing out as it currently exists since it's rather decent and if you have any exposure to gmod shitposts it feels familiar.

Got a bit lucky, but also there's someone in the thread that mentioned cocoa prices and Cote d'Ivoire.
