Here in Japan, the traditional "buffet" has spoiled me. All you can eat sushi, ramen, curry and yakiniku (cook-your-own-meat).

Jealous. in my area we have a number of all-you-can-eat korean bbq places, but as far as sushi/curry/ramen buffets go, not so much. In fact, I'd probably be pretty suspicious of any sushi buffets in suburban America.

Who is that?
 
Just dawned on me that a 40 is like two pints. Damn. They looked a lot smaller in 90's movies.

Yeah I'm with Myggen, how is that even drinkable half way?
 
Especially Dan's views on the chicken nuggets and him not giving a shit about their treatment. His ignorance is ridiculous at times.

Isn't that more of an opinion (that a lot of people will disagree with, me included!) and not ignorance?

Yeah, I've got problems finishing a pint while it's still cold, a 40 sounds disgusting.

Yes, but I was thinking about his comments about the less you know the happier you are and his blind trust in Walmart at the same time. I dunno, I really think he should do some research into these food places, like the horse meat fiasco with Tesco last year.

Willful ignorance is a thing, some people take pride in it. We all know Dan likes to joke, but avoiding knowing about things on purpose is pretty shitty IMO.
 
also 40's tend to have a higher ABV and taste like garbage water. They're kind of hilarious (and cheap) so I sort of get the appeal, but I'm too old for that.

You drink 40s to get drunk fast, not for flavor. There's a reason there's not really a craft "malt liquor" industry.
 
I drink whiskey to get drunk fast, which, if you're not picky, isn't much more money than malt liquor in a cost-to-inebriation ratio.

Plus it means I don't have to drink a third of a gallon of horrible trash to get to that point.

But you can drink 500ml (or slightly bigger) beers and get drunk just as fast, just without the beer tasting like shit halfway through because it's warm (for how big a 40 is, you almost have to chug the damn thing for it to stay somewhat cold to the end). It can't be that much more expensive either. I get that people don't drink 40s for the taste, but come on, that shit has to be disgusting.
 
Was on the site at work not logged in, and cracked up at an advertisement for Premium promising "UNLOCK A WORLD OF IMAGINATION"

they're killing it with their recent ads

You'd be surprised. Malt liquor is like scarily cheap.
 
When I heard the peeing drunk on gifts story and his dad's reaction, suddenly Dan's attitude in the podcast made much more sense, he just rather live in denial about things that don't match what he wants to hear.. I don't agree with that type of attitude.. but whatever.
 
Yeah, I love Dan to death, but his ignorance (and sometimes just refusal to learn or care) about certain topics is kind of disappointing. If he doesn't know or care how chicken nuggets work, I can't even image how he views some legitimate world problems.
 
Having just watched the trailer for premium membership, I think I've missed a few videos. I never saw Vinny's Joust cabinet thing, for a start..

You're usually pretty much deadest on finishing that shit if you but one so it isn't a grand feat. Just takes a good hour or so of consistent drinking and shoving bad food into your body. Probably walking around as well smoking a blunt.
 
Was Diabloing listening to the Bombcast and actually had to pause to collect myself after hearing the Second Life part. What are humans nowadays?

I don't think you've quite grasped that the thin veneer of worksafe content you experience daily on the internet is the crust over a molten core of kinky sex. No matter what the medium, we humans will fuck in it. It has always been this way.
 
Same here. It doesn't sound too bad, especially since I have no time to get to a shop and really look for good food after work and all that. Just wanna get home and sleep!

i got it for my sister for her birthday. And she really likes it. The snacks are really interesting/tasty. And it is like getting a little present in the mail once a month

The part about spending so much money to have bad 3d models have sex in ugly broken environments is the part I can't handle.
 
Vinny, if you read this thread; Congrats on your second child! I thought love would have to be divided but it ends up being multiplied. Just be prepared to go 80mph with your older one and 1 mph with your newborn. Beware of whiplash.
Like an earthquake, 7.0 is ten times worse than a 6.0 by having another kid you increased the difficulty of life by 10. You are also adding modifiers like home ownership and producer hours and possibly having your SO working too. Head my warning if you want another one. You are approaching dwarf fortress difficulty.
 
I think I'm going to try Nature Box

I enjoyed the two months I got from it after a bombardment of ads from the other podcasts I listen to over the Spring/Summer. I just ended up with way too much food even from the 5 bags because I really don't snack that often. The things I got were very tasty.

What does that equation work out to if you also factor in Vinny's Anime Quotient?
