Jelly is so good when he sings. It’s kinda strange that he didn’t sing much early on when you hear him now, when he’s known better for his singing than his rapping. As a rapper, he’s decent, but nothing stellar.

But as a singer? His voice is very distinct, and his lyrics are great, so you end up with some really powerful songs. Save Me is what he’s best known for, but Still My Hero just wrecks me every time I hear it now that my dad is getting older.

Single standard door refrigerators are better than french door.

Single door is nicer bc you only have to open one door, the french doors you often have to open both bc they are too small to get to things unless it’s in the door compartment. Opening or closing both doors with things in your hands gets old, and if you want to get into the meat drawer you have to open both sides fully then...

Ehhhh, better is a subjective thing. You made your argument well for one range of use cases though.

For me, with my back issues and arthritis, a side by side is better than either. You get the freezer on one side, where you can prioritize supplies based on how easy/hard it would be to pull them out at a given height. The fridge is the same, but it’s less likely to have heavy things in it, or at least not heavier than a gallon of liquid, which is easy enough to manage if you have adjustable shelves (we do).

The meat drawer part is kinda brand and model dependant. My best bud has a French door fridge with freezer on the bottom, and their meat drawer is a little deeper than ours, but is only on one side of the fridge, so you can open that door by itself. All of the shelves and drawers are configured to be openable with only one door open. It was a ridiculously expensive fridge though. Doors shut well with a gentle bump in that one as well. Only time it’s a problem is when a drawer is open part way.

But, yah, you gotta open both doors to put in large dishes. However, the French door fridges I’ve used have tended to stay open better, making it easier to get big things in and out overall.

The counter issue is a kitchen layout issue.

I would counter your opinion with “it depends, and there’s no objective standard for better

Legit, we’ve got about an acre in the back yard, and I was working toward this for most of it. Can’t do the work required now, so it’s gotten less native than it used to be, but at one point, it was all plants native to my region, and they are still dominant. The rest of the yard is better set up for my crippled ass to handle, so I can pull out invasive species as needed. There’s a section maybe twenty feet in a rough circle plus a corner where it’s “grass”, but it’s mostly random clover with dandelions I can’t be bothered to remove every year. The chickens have been keeping anything else from setting in compared to yard B.C. (before chickens).

It’ll eventually get taken over by random plants, I’m sure. It’ll be as I age out and cripple out of the work involved, since getting my kid to do a damn thing ain’t happening lol. But for now, me and the chickens have a nice area to walk around and putter.

With the caveat that I rarely use any of them because I prefer having my own files, CDs, and records, I’ve gravitated towards deezer for the most part, apple music the rest of the time.

Reason being that deezer is the least annoying as regards setting up playlists, and apple is my wife’s preferred service, and it’s usually easier to just let her set up the playlists and then make suggestions for adds/removals over time lol.

Mind you, I don’t really like any of the interfaces of any of the services. They all suck in different ways.

Okay, there’s some great ideas already, so I’m going to swerve a bit and ask some questions to see if there’s an in universe reason for things.

Your assumption is that the cultists would kill the prisoners and flee.

Is that because of the cult’s beliefs? If not, then there’s no reason to start off from evil = kill as the first choice. You don’t have to be Stupid Evil just because you’re evil. What god or entity are they serving? What’s the “portfolio” of the entity? What is their long term goal?

Depending on those answers, it’s possible to cook things up that don’t break the world building, or rely on deus ex machina to save them.

As an example, I had a similar situation with an organization in my home brew world/system. A cabal of political and social manipulating villains captured part of the group because the players just did something silly, they didn’t even fail a roll until they were trying to escape, and it was already too late anyway, they would have been followed.

But, this organization was a secret organization. Disappearing people was definitely a possibility, but not when they didn’t catch everyone. So the minions of the organization rendered the captured people unconscious, then used memory wiping spells along with drugs to cover their tracks more fully. They dumped the party members off near a hospital, and “sanitized” the location they were at before the party came along. Now, the leadership of the organization were rightfully pissed, and took steps for revenge that would be much easier to cover up, but they didn’t make a rash decision in the moment so that they could make it clean.

It didn’t work out for the organization, the party did take them down eventually, but it was a much more interesting fight along the way because the players were invested more.

Not saying that’s the right answer for your story and table, it’s just an example of the kind of thinking that can be done in universe.

Shit, just say f-stab and enjoy someone “correcting” you, only to smile and continue to say it that way.

My take? It’s like any art/passion film. They’re very rarely universally liked on the usual level of something like the godfather, where even if you don’t like the movie, you recognize how well crafted it is.

I suspect that when it’s available for wider viewing, it’ll be a mixed bag with the usual categories being there, with the majority of casual movie goers being baffled as to what the hell is going on. You’ll have the people that think anything arty is great, you’ll have those that hate arty. There’s always going to be those. And you’ll have the ones that don’t really have a strong reaction, but want to take part in three discussion, so they voice one of those for a little harmless granfallooning.

It’ll probably be one of those movies that film geeks have debates over just for the sake of debating.

Now, I have no idea if it’ll be good or bad on any objective level; not that there’s many ways the be objective about movies other than technical stuff. But I kinda want to see it. Not enough to go to a theater, because that’s a very rare thing for me, but I’ll likely want to see out as soon as it’s available digitally just because of the scale of the process of getting it made. Nobody makes this kind of project without passion, and that means it’ll be at least interesting, even if it sucks.

Well shit, I thought he was already dead. Dude did a lot of great roles, even though they tended not to necessarily be starring roles. He was reliable.

Fwiw, that was me.

I genuinely appreciate the effort at making it anonymous though! That’s a righteous move, always :)

Yeah, wrong community for the post, but it was a good read despite that.

Ooh! Ooh! I get to do this bit again!

Nobody wants a religious zealot, even an ex religious zealot dating their child.

!now, watch, despite it being an obvious troll to bait the rude vegans, someone will take the bait.!<

Eh, this version isn’t too far from the reddit one where you get plenty of “disagree/agree” votes instead of voting on whether or not it’s unpopular and thus appropriate as a post.

But, no, I was working from the broader perspective, which is what the premise is supposed to be about. I get you, though. On lemmy, the opinion is more unpopular than it would be in general, or I think it would be. No way to verify that. All I can do when casting my vote and commenting about why I made the choice is from my direct experience on almost any subject because nobody is going to be up to date on everything on a professional scale where they can be authorities on the topic. Most people, myself included, would be lucky to have even one area where they could state for certain that a given opinion is popular or not everywhere. I sure don’t.

But you can, usually, vote based purely on exposure to the topic and be in good faith as long as you expose yourself to the topic wide enough to matter.

Besides, on my end, I was taking the image contents more as a whole. The opinion seemed to be about milk being perfect with any given dish, much like a wine pairing. I did assume the perfect part was rage bait, and ignored that hyperbole.

Since I have seen people order (or try to order) milk with a wide range of cuisines, and know a lot of people in my local area that do drink milk with most meals (and that’s adults, not kids) at home, that’s where my opinion about the post came from.

Much appreciated :)

I hate it too, but isn’t that kinda defeating the purpose of the community?

They might not have it in acceptable quantities for drinking, depending on the kind of food served. If they only keep it in stock for specific dishes, the front of house might not even know it’s there.

My homie, if you have never had the glory that is milk with a cheeseburger, you’re missing out.

Spaghetti? Bomb.

Burritos? Bomb

I can keep going, and even explain how and why various foods can be paired with milk and not only be as good as any other beverage, but can sometimes be better. It isn’t every food, but it works often enough to be worth trying.
