@DivaQBBQ I can't get them near me ever!! New laws have come into place re: head meat. UGH I miss them and my headcheese!!





I own a digital copy if DS2 that I haven't touched and I never finished the first one, but here I am contemplating buying a physical.

Bought a coffee this morning Black, no milk, no syrup Someone poured liquid into a cup Took eleven seconds Then she flipped the iPad around 30% 35% 40% For a $6 coffee that took eleven seconds to make The line behind me was six deep All watching 30% is the new 0% Everyone knows it Nobody says it I pressed custom Typed $0 The barista looked at me The guy behind me looked at me My wife looked at the ceiling We left Went to lunch after Waiter brought water and bread without being asked Took our order Checked on us twice Refilled drinks Cleared plates I tipped 25% My wife said "you just gave the waiter 25% and the barista nothing" I said "correct" She stared at me I said "one of them did a job. The other one turned an iPad around." She took the check out of my hands After lunch we stopped for frozen yogurt The kids served themselves Picked their own toppings Weighed their own cups I paid by the ounce Then the screen flipped around 35% 40% 45% I looked at my seven-year-old who had just done the entire job I pressed no tip The teenager behind the counter didn't blink She already knew My wife grabbed my arm and walked me out In the car she was quiet Then she said "I can never take you anywhere" I said "just not the places with iPads" She didn't laugh But she didn't disagree Tipping used to mean something Now it's just a screen that guilt-trips you in front of strangers I don't negotiate against myself Not at work Not at a frozen yogurt shop Plz fix. Thx. Sent from my iPhone





Went into McDonald’s to try the Big Arch, which I’ve had in London and Toronto, but first time in the US. Build looked close to the marketing materials or at least similar, complete with 3 slices of cheese. While it had 3 slices of “white cheddar,” it lacked any actual cheese flavor. Sauce has a lot of flavor, and is different enough than the Big Mac sauce, having said that… prefer the Big Mac sauce. The new Poppy Seed bun is a win, and an upgrade. The lettuce really is what makes the burger messy, and doesn’t add much IMO. I also liked the crispy onions which added just enough crunch. In Connecticut the Burger alone is $9.39 vs $6.59 for a Big Mac and $8.49 for a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Sarah’s comments were “…it’s a less messy Big Mac, with more meat…” She also wished they had a single patty version. It is still a very “Fast Food” burger, so not at the level of say Shake Shack. Still, I do think it’s the best burger McDonald’s has made, and worth trying.




Coming into this industry from the outside (selling soccer shoes!) many years ago, I learned quickly that credibility is earned by listening. The gaming community is smart, passionate, and protective of what it loves. The first job was to understand the culture before trying to reshape it. I most certainly suffered from impostor syndrome in those those first few months. Asha brings deep expertise in AI and technology. The opportunity now is to pair that with the creative heartbeat of Xbox. Spending time with studio leaders, leaning on veterans like Matt Booty, and engaging directly with teams will matter enormously. AI will play a role in the future of gaming. The key is making sure it serves players and creators, not just efficiency metrics. Leadership transitions are never simple, but with humility and curiosity, they can be powerful inflection points. gamesbeat.com/for-the-new-xb…



When they ask you ‘what radicalized you?’ show you them this. Yes, bacon in Canada costs 9 bucks Elbows Up retards 💪




It’s posts like this that make Canada and other countries want to do deals with China and leave the United States all alone. This is the language of an abusive ex.
