The lazy answer for me is PS2, since that’s how I was able to play all the PS1/re-released games I missed out on. Pretty much all the Final Fantasy games, Chronl Trigger, Chrono Cross, Star Ocean… And then there was also FFX and Twisted Metal Black, some of the PS2 highlights for me.

I think SNES still has my heart though. I feel like most of the major titles were better (more perfected) than their N64 counterparts. The Legend of Zelda LttP absolutely consumed me growing up and is still my favourite game of all time. Many years later I find I’m still interested in games that look like they could have been released on SNES.

I don’t think the person you’re replying to is defending Loblaws, just saying we need to look at the right numbers to correctly call bullshit.

Here,

The company’s quarterly profit was $459 million, marking a 9.8 per cent increase.

What do you mean men are growing beards “again”? I haven’t noticed any trend between clean shaven / bearded. Some do, some don’t.

How should I change my polite behavior to be more accommodating?

My parents raised me to always say “yes sir” and “no ma’am”, and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I’m not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like “no thank you, ma’am” based on their appearing AFAB, but...

To me, please and thank you are kind of the poster children for politeness. Like you can’t be polite without them.

Btw are you in the US? I’m in Canada and I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say yes sir/no ma’am sincerely.

Yes please and no thank you

I feel your pain. There doesn’t seem to be much choice for quality earbuds, even when you are willing to pay more for it. I recently returned a pair of Sony earbuds that sounded so dogshit it was insulting.

Based on some audiophile conversations I have read, it might be worth looking into IEMs (in-ear monitors). From the bit of research I’ve done, it seems you can get better quality from these compared to regular consumer earbuds. It looks like you may need to get a cable that has a mic built in, but that might give you more options.

I already don’t shop at any of those, and will continue not to.

Cadbury cream eggs. I want a bucket of that filling so I can eat it with a spoon.

So many things…

Game of Thrones, right before the last season came out. Glad I didn’t have to wait for the disappointment.

Video games. I will wait 10 years to play a game I want so that the price goes down enough.

AFI’s Sing the Sorrow album, until I gave it a fair chance years later.

If you’ve tried it, does this taste any better than red dead nettle? That stuff is like… pungent. And… oddly textured lol

I am very new to foraging, and have not heard of the red dead nettle. This spotted dead-nettle, from the tiny piece I tried, had almost no flavour - less than lettuce imo. That’s why I mentioned salad - I think it would be a great “filler”.

Very cool. I get some Mount Eerie vibes from it.

Yeah, nobody wants to pay strata fees forever on top of their mortgage. Surprise.

If it’s anything like the drawstring bags I have tried, it’s flimsy and mostly for show - it barely even tightens the bag when you’re ready to tie it up and throw it out.

Everyone embraced smartphones and created a bigger market for games than there ever was before. Naturally when the mainstream latches onto something it becomes diluted and all about making a quick buck. Imo

So instead of using a more Canadian culturally appropriate phrase, like “here is where to turn when in need” or “this helps me afford rent”, many will just be less cautious and might say “here is how I save hundreds of bucks” or “here is how I get free food”.

“Bigots HATE this one weird trick!”

This is interesting to me. Do you have any examples of how you would word something differently in Australia compared to Canada?

What are these "bass" and "treble" that I see in an equalizer ?

I am not an audio person, so do not have much idea about technical terms - but I hear the words “bass” and “treble” almost everywhere now, especially in the equalizer app that came with a new bluetooth earbuds that I bought (yes, I am still very much a wired-earbud guy, just dipping my toes in the wireless earbud ocean)....

Imagine a rainbow, but it’s made of sound. That’s the audible frequency spectrum which your equalizer represents.

Yes, I learned that from the video I linked
