If your shoes are covered in mud (or full of gravel???) then you take them off. But if you’ve just gone outside to go to the shop and your shoes are still relatively clean, you wipe them on the doormat and go in, the amount of dirt you actually bring in is miniscule.
Then there are rules about not putting shoes on sofas or beds, so if you want to put your feet up you take your shoes off then.
I get that this is Lemmy and users here are a certain way but calling anything over 16 dollars not worth it is genuinely insane.
Idk something about this is saying AI to me
Fediverse doesn’t promote posts based on comment engagement though, does it?
What are your thoughts on roller hockey?
Field hockey?? You mean hockey? Of which ice hockey is a variant?
Anyone that works in marketing needs to be flogged in the streets for their crimes.
It depends entirely on the movie.
Like one of my all time favourite movies is Pacific Rim, because it’s goal is simply to be a bad ass and fun movie where robots fight giant monsters and it succeeds at that incredible.
It doesn’t pretend there’s some big important ehtic dilemma or it’s characters are particularly deep or go through big arcs, but it doesn’t ignore any of that either, it gives just another character to make the film work and be good without distracting from the robots.
But then on the other hand a film like good will hunting has no giant monsters but has a great character arc that is the driving force of the movie and is also good.
That mouse had a THOUSAND BITCHES he just didn’t talk about it
I should start a new Factorio run
This would be a very convenient time to discover you’re trans
To be fair if highschool history covered every act of overtime racism and suppression committed by the US government there would be no time to cover anything else.
Sometimes I really fucking wish I was that dumb, like what a fucking cool and interesting little reality these people live in.
Eh, I will sometimes make a big batch of sauce and then either keep in the fridge a few days or freeze it. But that’s besides the point. I can still make a pasta Bolognese in about an hour if I’m trying to make a quick but tasty weekday meal, since you don’t actually HAVE to simmer it for hours.
Like to take a beef wellington for example, you can’t really cut corners on it and make one on Wednesday night after work. Even if you were to buy a pre made one, you would still have to roast it for ages.
And even then a lot of Italian cooking is legitimately quick, even doing it “properly” a carbonara for example is super quick and easy to make from scratch, if you just buy the bread instead of making it Bruschetta is super easy, or if I’m feeling super lazy I will sometimes make a frittata with leftovers, that takes like 15 mins to make. In the other hand no one quickly throws together a chicken and leek pie, or make a pasty from scratch, or even something as relatively simple as a roast. The only British food I ever really make for easy meals is a stew because you can make it in a slow cooker, but stew isn’t even a uniquely British dish.
You think they’re going to pass up on an opportunity to bitch and whine and pearl clutch about something completely inconsequential???
As a child I was forced to eat a lot of Sunday roasts at the grandparents that were bland and anemic and mushy, with veg boiled within an inch of its life, and where the meat was the only good part
And I used to date an Indian lass who was the worst cook I’ve ever met in my life, the food she made was truly disgusting. But that doesn’t mean all Indian food is bad.
I know self-flagelation is a time honoured tradition of ours, but the whole “Britain bad” circlejerk is just getting annoying now.
British food is actually top tier. The big difference with something like Italian food for example is Italian is quicker and easier to make, so your average person can put together a pasta dish pretty quickly as a weekday evening meal. Whereas youre not going to come home and quickly make a roast dinner or a beef wellington or a proper steak and ale pie, so instead you’ll just bang some fish fingers and chips in the oven and 20 minutes later have some perfectly good scran for while you watch EastEnders.
100% real, you can buy packs of frozen removedts at basically any supermarket
Yeah man, every single game I’ve got a ton of hours in or thought was a truly great game has been over $16
