I’m surprised Smith didn’t refuse, stamp her feet, and then demand the money without any restrictions on where it goes.

Soma is great! I had a full on panic attack and never finished tho 😂

Edit: Pro tip, if you’re generally terrified of the ocean, and also scared of getting trapped/lost in dark labyrinths, then this game may not be for you.

If you want to set off a poutine purist you gotta change the cheese. Trad poutine is exclusively made with cheese curds. Lots of places that sell “poutine”, however, use shredded cheese of some kind or other. Some people go nuts over it, lol.

I can definitely understand the heritage part. You can’t just throw a bunch of stuff in a bowl and claim it’s a dish that it is not. Coffee is way more broad and varied than something like cacio e pepe though. I still think it’s pretty stuck-up to scorn someone over how they like to drink it. Coffee has been served many different ways in many different places all over the globe. We don’t have to shun one another over it.

Neat! I’ve always heard it’s super gross. But I guess anything can be done well, and the gross stuff was probably due to lack of care.

I believe I’ve been misunderstood. Not having drip coffee doesn’t make one a prude. Scorning others for their preferred beverage preparation makes one a prude.

Scorned? Lol, what a bunch of prudes. Some people just can’t let others enjoy things. Espresso used to be considered hoity toity here in Canada, but that was years ago. It’s pretty normalized now.

I was under the impression that even if it was the norm, espressos were always referred to as espressos. Neat. I know a good chunk of the world also heavily uses French presses in their coffee making, but the end result is functionally similar to drip coffee.

This is really only a problem with the big publishers.

Marvel is suffering the same fate as Hollywood movies. Predictable sells, so they stay the same more or less. Peter is always poor, always has bad luck with women, etc. They also have a huuuuuuuuge history that they’ll reference constantly. Authors note: we haven’t seen this character for 30 years!

I don’t read a lot of DC, but they do seem to change it up too much. There’s always a new reboot or something going on.

Are you married to super hero comics? If you branch out to other less hero focused publishers you can find stuff like you’re talking about. Shorter stories, smaller teams, more artistic passion. I love the stuff from Dark Horse and Boom. Image also has some great titles. Even those are semi-large publishers. You can go smaller like Magma, Blood Moon, DSTLRY, etc.

My advice is to branch out. Your local library may have TPBs from smaller series if you don’t want to commit right away.

I think cowboy coffee can also be referred to as just black. But nobody in their right minds drinks that anymore.

Espresso != A regular black coffee. Espresso is way more concentrated, and is brewed using pressure. Regular black coffee implies the drip method.

They’re similar to the phrase “delay, deny, defend” — the way some attorneys describe how insurers deny services and payment

I believe they were talking about this part of the article.

May I present an alternate theory

I take comedy very seriously. Tomfoolery is no laughing matter.

The neat part about this photo is that there are actually nine soldiers in the frame. The two up front were just the worst two for putting on the camo.

Someone with a strong moral barometer wouldn’t think these thoughts.

Lol, I love the inclusion of cheat codes like they’re as big of a concern as malware. Won’t someone think of the children?! I found my son playing GTA5 with bighead mode on *sobs uncontrollably*.

This whole thing sounds like the “drugs in Halloween candy” scare, but this seems to actually be real. Neat.

P.S. I don’t know if GTA5 actually has bighead mode.

Japandroids - Near To The Wild Heart Of Life

This song aggressively reminds me of the mix of anxiety and excitement I had before moving out on my own for the first time. I came from a small town, and moved to the “big city” in my province. I had never moved anywhere before, let alone without my parents. That was 15 years ago now, but this takes me right back. It’s also a banger (in my opinion).

Same! It’s usually my right eye, and if I close it it helps. Doesn’t stop entirely, but dampens it quite a bit.

Neat, I never knew it was French! I’ve been buying the single issues in English as they’ve come out, but I think we only have two volumes so far.

Edit: It’s sold as ‘Animal Castle’ here in Canada, and published by Ablaze Publishing.

I don’t think the artist is saying only Boomers have this problem. It is possible to express one’s opinion on one issue without needing to address all similar issues.

Also it would be rather weird to have a Boomer and a Zoomer together in this situation.
