  • I’ve donated blood twice. If that’s all there was to it, I’d do it more

    But the incessant calling. I remember it being once or twice a month I’d pick up and it’d be somebody trying to guilt trip me into donating blood

    Like I’d love to do it, but only when I’m free and when I want to. Pushing me to do it just made me block the number and never donate since then

    I say block, because telling them to stop doesn’t stop them from doing anything

    What I mean when I say he’s a little correct is that it’s feasible to ignore most of the effects up till now and assume it’ll continue as it is currently

    It’s incredibly ignorant and incorrect, but it’s probably not going to get to the point where we all die before he does first

    Literally had my dad tell me that people only ever voted for themselves

    While I can accept that a lot of people do that, the implication that he doesn’t vote with at least some thought about his children or wife was a little worrying

    Similarly, he’s also said that climate change won’t affect us in our lifetime. This might be (somewhat) true for him, but for me?


  • Been playing through the adventure mode of MTG Forge

    It’s a good time, but I dislike the layout of the world and how quests work. It’d feel so much better if the locations weren’t randomly splodged around the map and instead followed some structure

    Similarly, quests are really jank. You’re punished for not taking them, but also punished for abandoning them. Early game they’re either insanely hard or require a huge amount of luck, late game it just feels like a list of random chores

    Also it’s annoying to go to a town, rifle through all the shops for a few minutes, before heading on over to the next town. They should cut down the amount of shops per town (right now it’s 10+, each with 6 items to choose from), and just make it a menu to go between them, as the second it takes to load is quite jarring and the travel time when in the town is redundant

    But I’m just being picky. Right now it’s a fun game if you’re already into mtg, but with those changes it’d be an amazing game in its own right








  • If there’s one group I hate serving more as a waiter, it’s vegans

    Every other dietary will put in their booking their dietary in order to allow the chefs time to prepare them something pre service (we usually run a chef’s choice menu, set items)

    Even FODMAP, arguably one of the most confusing dietaries, isn’t this bad at it. But vegans will almost always show up unannounced and expect to be fed when the only item on the menu that’s normally vegan is the bloody bread
