@Narson Of all the analogies I wasn’t ready for, one for Demolition Man I’d suspect is on that list. That said, it’s also the one I didn’t know I needed.

@Narson I don’t get the Taco Bell refence but ok

Honestly, I’m okay with this? Taco Bell has a lot of nice veggie options and if you are the kind of person who can pass up a quesarito I DON’T EVEN WANT TO KNOW YOU.

[Narson]

@Snackness Taco Bell won the franchise wars, becoming the only/last chain restaurant in the film. In the UK/Europe it was changed to Pizza Hut (because we didn’t have Taco Bell). We first encounter the “terrorist” scraps in the film when they raid a Taco Bell.

Never trust a restaurant that serves you raw onions in your bean burrito.

@Narson Apparently I missed out on a cultural touchstone.

Taco Bell is fine but the lack of variety would make me commit crimes. Stealth crimes. Stealth food crimes.

@GF I LOVE THEIR BEAN BURRITOS. Raw onions and red sauce and cheese and beans yes please.

[Narson]

@Pavel They have an OK range. And you can make it better with your own combos. Like the seasoned fries dipped in dulce de leche, or dipping the cinnamon crunch things in the nacho cheese.

No matter HOW MANY TIMES you INSIST this is OKAY, it is NOT.

You should feel bad for posting this. It is that gross.

So gross. Omg. I keep imagining it. Make it stop. Somebody. Please.

Oh but it does happen. In my tum tum.

@Narson Or the potatoes with the caramel apple empanada.

I just think of a black bean quesarito and it’s like nothing can hurt me anymore

Having played games that never made bannings, or if they did they were always on the down low, it bred a culture of not reporting issues. But also a culture of whispering and rumours about it. Were they justifiable bans or an ice pick that made their ears burn?

Anyway, the culture of not reporting it meant was that some pretty horrible predators remained unbanned and unreported for far too long.

[Pavel]

@Whisky This simply reinforces my view that if nothing is seen to be done, then nothing may as well have been done.

There’s a difference, in my mind, between announcing a punishment having been carried out and using public shaming to instil order. Public shaming is the punishment, when it’s used. Whereas public notification not only announces “these behaviours will not be tolerated” but also both “we are telling you what we’re doing” and “we take this seriously.”

@Testament That is not a fedora. That is a trilby. Trilbies are horrible and are often worn by “fedoras” or “neckbeards.” The fedora is the awesome hat of Indiana Jones, Frank Sinatra, and half of Humphrey Bogart’s characters. It has a significantly wider brim.

Yes, I’m being a pedant. But I love fedoras and think trilbies look silly and have been used by assholes who are then told that they’re fedoras.
