I was told this as a fast food manager: do not admit fault, only apologize for the situation the person is experiencing. The second you admit fault, they said, you admit liability for any damages, real or imaginary.

I wish I could've enjoyed some hallucinogens before my memory went to shit. I'm just hoping it's my ADHD and not early onset dementia. 🙃

I've never been happier I dropped out of my CS classes

OMG I fucking died at Ace Attorney

But what if the ghost messed up their dance move and now they think you're just taunting them? Do you really want to risk pissing off the ghost?

Thought Slime goes by Mildred.....

But they're kind of self-aware, so I think it's supposed to make them more off-putting.

At risk of looking dumb, what's up with all the posts about the JFK assassination today?

Fun fact: Redbox is operated by Chicken Soup for the Soul. I almost got hired by them but they screwed me over after I had already resigned from my previous position.

For whole blood, I've only ever been given a t-shirt. For plasma alone though, it was purely dependent on your weight and, therefore, how much they can take from you in the one session. I'm a tiny dude who barely weighed enough to qualify and got about $80 a couple years ago. It's honestly not worth it at all, but if you're broke it's easier than many other options. The place was full of the "undesirables" of society because of that. It drained me emotionally, seeing how blatantly exploitative it is.

Edit to add: these plasma donations can be done with a tighter window between them too, so the people who were always short on cash were in there every 2 weeks.

Edit again: I forgot that that was an introductory deal where they give you an extra $40, so it was actually $40 for me. Overweight patients could get around $70-$80.

Surely this decision will be a net positive for the average American and won't be used as part of a malicious scheme to widen the wealth gap. /s

You joke, but the people here are such zealots that they would make the church the state if given the opportunity. Yet they're such hypocrites they'd all be in line for a stoning if they did.

The power dynamic is ever present. Can a person detained by a law enforcement officer consent to sex with that officer?

This game, appropriately, is where I learned there was such a thing as uppers and downers.

Charlotte, NC has a long history of racism and played a huge role in the civil rights movement, so the location plays a large part in why this is such a big deal.

This honestly sounds like it could be the basis for a novella

Damn, TIL you can come across these locations on accident just exploring. I thought that place was weird to be randomly floating out there with no real good loot. 😂

I'm replaying Starfield, and on my second playthrough, I'm noticing the depth they put into this game. Sometimes a single dialogue line you said days ago will have an effect on NPC attitudes through an entire side story. I'm not going to argue that it's not a regurgitation of their lame formula they've milked for the past 15+ years, but they do need to reevaluate where their money/dev time goes to.

Yeah, I don't know if they were concerned about people thinking they were being berated by animals constantly or what, but New Leafe was definitely the beginning of them sanitizing the villagers' attitudes. Wild World was my first AC game and I played it constantly for at least a year, but New Horizons lost my attention after two weeks.
