Someone tell Metro Transit. They make changes to my local bus route every few weeks and it’s annoying.

I’ve heard to skip the first novel of the Culture series, I read it and kinda bounced off of it from a prose standpoint because it’s very 80s sci fi, so the rest of the series probably isn’t for me.

Quite a few of my local Chinese places still use the clamshell takeout ones. It's the worst. The plastic and the stereotypical one both work really well. The Styrofoam is good at leaking all the sauce out the sides.

Wait, the Netherlands has legal magic mushrooms? That surprises me given that I’ve heard their weed isn’t quite as freely legal as their reputation makes it seem.

In the US, your state's department of weights and measures might care. They're the ones who verify grocery store scales, taxi cab fare meters, gas pumps... they exist to make sure you're not getting ripped off. If you're in a blue state they care, in a red state ymmv.

So what’s stopping me, a random guy who doesn’t work for uber eats, from walking in, pretending to scan a reciept, and walking out with free random food? What happens when the real driver shows up? Does McDonalds hold their line that they already made and packaged that order? Or does Ubereats insist they never picked it up? Not a whole lot, actually. It happens on occasion, but less than you’d think - and in places where it happens frequently they hand out the orders rather than doing the shelf thing. If the person ordering has tipped well (yeah the drivers can see the tips) sometimes they’ll get the restaurant to remake it and you’ll actually get hot food, or some of the nicer delivery folks will let the restaurant know the order got snatched before unassigning from your order. And the restaurant has some incentive to remake your food because if you don’t get your food they don’t get paid - support is not good but it’s usually pretty obvious when some kind of screw up has happened. The whole system relies on people being decent, and thankfully people are - at least poor people in cities generally are. The local places are generally good at using a heat lamp, at least the places near me that allow you to order through their website, for pickup - which I’m usually picking up my own order because, like you said, those delivery apps are stupidly expensive even if you’re ordering from somewhere actually worth ordering from.

I'm in the Twin Cities, I'm guessing the person you're responding to is in a first or second ring suburb (and I'm not dismissing their experience for that - ICE never left Minnesota, they're just operating in the suburbs now where it's harder to build a response against them so they're seeing some shit right now), but concealed carry permit requests are *way* up right now in the twin cities proper. People here are buying guns in response to the gestapo. I don't know anyone personally who has purchased a firearm, but I've seen the local news articles about the phenomenon.

The rebel symbol from Star Wars has been heavily featured in the anti-ICE movement here in Minnesota, look up the rebel loon. Your suggestion is subtle enough that those who know will probably get it and those who don’t will probably just think OP is a nerd.

Nah, piloswine is actually prepared for winter.

Fill it with something more appropriate and I think it’d be a neat Halloween party treat. Visually it turned out cursed in the best way.

Boggle rules I see cuck because of how that c is rotated.

>mango-flavored cigarettes He would be fond of mango flavored vape juice.

I do not feel adventurous when caustic substances are involved, and I am also not adventurous when it’s something I might end up on a list for searching. For the chickenshits, what’s draino do to aluminum foil?

I’ve only ever bought LG phones, they made a couple of duds but largely they were great, they died rather than going to shit. I need a new phone eventually though. :(

I’m mostly kidding with that one. It’s a tiny fraction of why that Chinese takeout font is racist, it’s (very lightly, in the case of Papyrus) the way a foreign script looks to someone who doesn’t actually understand how to read that foreign script rendered as a latin alphabet. Like yeah, I guess that’s a valid argument but I am in no way cancelling papyrus and nobody should care about this argument, lol.

Nah, should be Papyrus, it pretends it’s a return to tradition but it’s really just ugly and racist.

They’re texturally kinda unique, and they’re basically corn syrup flavored with maybe a hint of honey. I like them but I definitely understand the people who don’t.

… Has anyone stuck a french fry in marinara to test this? Because that’s not the most awful combo I can think of.
