I have had to resort to saying I have IBS because if I just say "hey I don't like onions please don't put them in my food" there is always some prick who ignores it and does it anyway or they try to tell me some bullshit like "you would love them if you tried x or y" no, I wouldn't.
I cannot understand why people can't just accept that I hate them and do not for any reason want to eat them. People act like its a personal offense if I won't eat whatever dish they ruined with onions, I get it you like them and thats fine for you. But stop trying to feed them to me, it's disrespectful and I just don't have the time or patience for niceties anymore.

Comment on Brave Origin, a paid, premium version of Brave is now available in ~tech
Dangerous_Dan_McGrew LinkI find it baffling how they can constantly shove all the worst things into a browser and then get people who not only evangelize it but are now dumb enough to pay for it.I find it baffling how they can constantly shove all the worst things into a browser and then get people who not only evangelize it but are now dumb enough to pay for it.

Dangerous_Dan_McGrew LinkLOL, the horn in my truck is so old and barely functional that it sounded like a meek little squeek. I laughed my ass off, definately improved my mood.

A few noteable (to me) examples are I finished RAGE which was way more fun than it is given credit for but the sudden and abrupt end left me extremely annoyed.
I finished Superliminal and it seemed like a fever dream but I enjoyed it.
I tried Road 96 but it just wasn't for me.
I'm not sure why Prey (2017) was so highly praised because it bored me to tears.
Mad Max has possibly the most bafflingly stupid control scheme I have ever come across so it ruined the whole game for me.
A story about my uncle was weird in a good way and I've never heard anyone talk about it, more people need to check it out.
Home Front was ok-ish but also ended to abruptly.
and currently I am playing Driver San Francisco and Red Faction Guerilla.
Everyone says Driver SF is the best game in the series but honestly after you get over the neat jump into any car at any time mechanic the rest is just a generic driving game with a dumb plot. I don't hate it but I feel it's over hyped.
Red faction Guerilla is just cathartic the story is stupid but being able to just destroy everything is a great way to relieve stress.

In fact I have been tasked with finding new ways around this microsoft account bullshit because we want all accounts on all machines to be local only. No one here wants to setup and manage 300 microsoft accounts for users who are barely competent enough to turn the pc on.
My spouse and child both hate olives and mushrooms but I personally think they are absolutely essential in a good spaghetti sauce or pizza. Whenever I make either one I always make half the batch without olives or mushrooms. If they don't like it I won't try to force it on them, if they ever change thier mind they can steal it from my plate.
Personally I am not a vegan and I couldn't give a shit less.
But............ I still have an awesome vegan chili recipe for the occasions when I have a vegan friend over. Hopefully I have another vegan recipe nailed down before the next visit and if not I bet they will appreciate it anyway because I cared enough to try.
It's just good manners.
