Now now, Horizon also has Varl.

Sounds like the average D&D party

Whoa, a L4D meme? How vintage!

Straight sizes (xs - xxxl) vs Plus sizes (0x - 5x)

Designers create garments for one size (typically Large), and then scale it down and up for the other sizes, but above a certain threshold that doesn’t proportion correctly, so plus sizes are scaled from 2x.

The term “straight” here was originally opposed to curved.

If it weren’t for the skin incinerating temperature, it’d probably feel like softened caramel

Oh some people are.

Now hold up, there is a pretty clear cadence and tone difference between Kronk and Joe. Joe is not a himbo, he takes himself seriously and is often sick of Peter’s shit. Kronk is more like MCU Thor, he’s an airhead. The two talk quite differently

When tap-to-pay became a thing, Walmart went all in on building their own payment system instead, because Apple Pay and Google Pay both get a portion of the credit card transaction fees.

By pushing everyone through Walmart Pay, THEY get that portion, and can collect interest on any cash back stored in the customers account (just like Starbucks).

Of course, anyone who just wants to use the nfc on their credit card gets fucked over

There are 85 locations remaining in the united states. Thats down from 270 in the 90s. There are only four in California where I live.

They got bought up by private equity and gutted, just like red lobster.

Third spaces were much more common before the 2000s. Coffee shops where you could hang out with friends were actually a thing in the 90s. Open mic nights and karaoke. I remember we had a common ritual at the book store I worked where everyone who closed would meet up at TGI Fridays for late night drinks, TGIF doesn’t even exist any more. I used to meet up with a bunch of friends at Dennys every Thursday night, and then it fucking closed.

As someone who worked in a movie theater for four years, popcorn/candy is really not that big of a deal. Even in the biggest disasters (usually kids movies) you just break out the push broom and just walk down each row while someone else sweeps up at the aisles.

It’s the wet foods that are actually annoying. Nacho cheese is the worst, because it smears all over the place. Then there’s the bodily fluids…

Also, the people who clean between shows are called ushers. Janitors come early in the morning to vacuum, mop the floors and clean the bathrooms.
