I am no longer asking for your oats.

Rare Pepes? In this meme economy?!

The cream for the sweet pierogis isn’t exactly whipped cream. I can’t quite identify it, but I think it is some kind of sweetened sour cream (this is something I’ve have before) that’s been whipped to bee less dense than normal sour cream.

These aren homemade, I got the plate at a small independent restaurant.

The sweet ones have a sweetened twaróg cheese filling, and the hot ones have a mix of potato and habanero.

This appears to be a photoshop of the Old Trace sign, with the oldest posting coming from Reddit’s politicalhumor community.

I don’t think allowing photoshopped images in a community intended for photographs is a great idea. There are already numerous communities here where the photoshop picture can get exposure without cutting into one of the few spaces for photographs.

Everyone on the internet is always serious.

Somewhere outside of Phoenix. I was driving and stopped to take a break. I don’t think it’s a named site.

“God had no hand in the creation of these hotdogs. He is either ignorant of the horrors taking place within his kingdom, or impotent to stop them. Hold on, your receipt comes with buy-one-get-one free coupon.”

I don’t think anyone should preorder. It’s a predatory way to suck a full price of the game or even higher than normal price out of customers by using often laughably cheap benefits to drum up FOMO.

For me personally, I rarely have interest in brand new AAA games, which are the most guilty of pre-order sales tactics, so the problem more or less solves itself.

Early Access games can be a different story. I’m more willing to throw money at a small studio or solo project that appears to have some passion behind it. Even so I only spend with the mindset that whatever state the game is in might be all I ever get, so match the price to that expectation. I recently played through Deathtrash. It’s unfinished and is historically slow to get updates, however for the $11 I got it for on sale, it had a lot of content and I felt happy with what I got.

Project Zomboid is another example of a “permanently Early Access” game. It might never get out of Early Access but it has so much content now that $20 is a perfectly acceptable price. The history of devs supporting it and the community around it means support for it is unlikely to simply disappear.

If you think the number of people that use ad blockers is not a fraction of a percent of internet users, you’re in a bubble.

It’s about 30%.

Nowhere near the majority, but also not a “fraction of a percent.”

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine an infinite amount of Tom Rikers hitting on any female face – for ever.”

Just good lighting.

I used to watch a lot of traffic court videos as background noise. Normally it was people who knew they were guilty showing up with lame excuses.

One time though there was a guy who got a ticket for rolling a stop sign. The issue was it was a very poorly placed sign that was ridiculously far back from the intersection. The guy had fully stopped at the sign, pulled up to the intersection and slowed down to check and then rolled through it. The cop had reluctantly agreed that is what happened once the guy laid it out.

Despite the cop admitting it was a bad ticket since the guy hadn’t actually rolled through the sign, the prosecutor pulled up the law which said a car must stop at a stop sign, or in an intersection without one must slow and yield to traffic, and tried to argue that because the intersection had a stop sign that the guy in the car was required to fully stop both at the poorly placed sign AND at the intersection. He went back and forth with the judge for like ten minutes while subtly misquoting the text of the law rather than just letting it go. After both the guy with the ticket and the cop both spoke up the way too long proceeding finally broke in the guy’s favor.

The total court appearance was like 45 minutes, with much of it spent with a judge and prosecutor talking through a stop sign law. If it was so ambiguous that professional legal experts need to talk it through then it is absurd to ticket a person in the moment for making the wrong choice.
