I don't think San Diego nor Palm Springs has a Five Guys at Freddy's, but do they also sell sandwiches and/or chicken strips?

I've had Five Guys so many times, they're quite good. Since i'm home now, I don't get to take the bus from my dorm to the mall where they are.
But right next to the mall is Shake Shack, another burger place that's even more expensive, but oh my goodness it's so good. It's an NYC specialty I think. |
this has been a wierd month... primaraly cuz i got irradiated this month and i have been stuck inside ALL MONTH

When all topics fail, always revert back to food. Food is the safest choice. One can never go wrong with food.
|
the whole thread has been discussing food for like.. 2 pages.
this is why i love you guys. :'D |

Sadly they weren't as prevalent during the Red Vs Blue events when the teams had separate DCCs. |
They replaced a Taco Bell not far from our home with a Rite-Aid, which is lame. But there's a Chipotle right near that same point, and at the same mall I visit, too. At least they're better for you than most fast food places.

I wouldn't consider the U.S. a better place if you're more into politics, depending on who you are.

*insert "o wow new dcc" comment here*
lolpolitics. I never touch that shit. xD |
politics bore me greatly
|
Politics always produce stories you never see coming.

why do things right when you can make money amirtie?
|
Speaking of money, someone should share some and help a Castform out? 8D
|
Yes I am preserving this name so no one takes it :D
|
I recently got a slight raise, now I'm looking for my own music studio so I can have a place to get away from everything else and just write, play, and be creative.
|
Waitresses aside (because they get so little money and have to rely so much on tips it's ridiculous) fast foods tends to be hit the worst when it comes to the minimal wage. It actually gained .05 recently so now it's 8.05 (not that it really... matters....) so that's what the workers where I work get unless they get a raise. Right now as a shift leader I'm only getting $9/hr though I'll be getting a little raise soon for transferring to a new store.
Speaking of which I really hope I don't regret my decision in doing that. I love my manager and I feel so bad for leaving her but me transferring would be less hassle than what they would have had to do if I said no. |
I just really need a job... I want money so I don't have to spend everything in savings or keep asking my parents because they will eventually say "no"

tfw at least it's cheap to live here i guess. |
The color war is over? At last.
|
$8.38 minimum wage in NJ right now. It's really expensive to live here too, unless you live in ghetto cities of Trenton and Camden.
|
In Spain, minimum wage is 37.4€/day which, assuming a 8-hour day, means 4.67€/h. To be honest though, minimum wage jobs are extremely hard to find- I only spent 9 months so far on minimum wage, got a 70% raise on my second year, and the last job I applied for pays twice as much. Then again, living here is about 10%-20% cheaper than in the US and you don't have to care about things like healthcare and such, so...
|
What's wrong with not having healthcare? There's still a chance of you getting into serious danger if you've gotten careless, which a majority of people do based on fail blogs.
|
I asked three American friends of mine why they were against free healthcare. Two of them mentioned something about it being "too socialist". I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. Really there's so much you could do when you spend more tax money per capita than any other in the world.
I received healthcare in France once and it was top notch. The officials insisted on giving a small educational seminar (that I couldn't understand half of because it was in French) covering medicinal precautions, its history starting with Pasteur, etc. When I got sick of strep the antibiotics were available for free (technically you had to pay first and then the government would pay you). I can't understand why no one would want that, really. |
Obamacare has been effed up by Republicans doing their best to make it not work so they can sell it as a failure and blame it on Obama. That's the only reason why many Red States like Texas are refusing free money from the Government to extend Medicare to poor people, which many blue States have done already.
And the point of having a socialized healthcare system (see: Europe) is making it so nobody needs to ever care about insurance unless they want to pay extra to get priority treatment in private hospitals. Which is not even that great in the end, because a centralized national system has, by default, more funds to invest in treatments, hospitals and salaries than any private company will ever have alone. |
oh good
i missed this thread |
I've never actually had a job with any regularity before aside from helping out at this little music school that a guy I know runs (I do get paid $100 a month for what I do which is more than enough for a 16 year old whose parents both have good jobs). I'm thinking of getting a job at the record store near my house over the summer & beyond. every time I go I end up talking to the manager about music etc so that's a good advantage.

Everything is getting random here I just can't take it

I find myself going to bed earlier nowadays, and I find myself waking up earlier for that same reason possibly. But now that i'm back at work while not at college, which trades reading papers for being on my feet, that sleep is appreciated.
|
I go to bed an hour later than I intend to on a regular basis...

Quote:
i don't even keep track of when i go to bed anymore, because some nights i sleep and some i don't. i'm really iffy when i don't have responsibilities and stress hits me like a truck. |
I like to be asleep by eleven or midnight, but..lately, what I've been doing is taking a nap when I get off work/in the evenings, so I can hang out with my boyfriend (who works usually 4pm-12am/1am)
BTW, I really love all the Steven Universe themes tbh. I just recently binged through all the currently released episodes. Loves it. |

i literally only know about SU from themes here and people talking about it on tumblr
i have no idea what it is |
|
Me neither. The first time I remember the name coming to mind was because Marriland named the finale of his Omega Ruby Wedlocke "Steven of the Universe!" when he had heard about the series but felt he'd be getting to it at some point. I'm terrible. x3
|
i've been meaning to watch that, people won't stop talking about it and it's weird when you're actually judged for not knowing who Garnet is

and so, yet another clever joke lost to history
|
That's what happens to most of those.
|
I keep forgetting to go back and watch more SU. X) It always starts with "yeah maybe I'll go watch more later" and...then it slips my mind.
And this is why I don't watch many shows nowadays, stuff like that tends to happen. Also it tickles me to see an FF9 reference being made in here. I so want to replay that game sometime. |
I'm almost done with catching up! On season 2 now. I wanted to be up to date before I join the club. Getting there!
|
Wait what happened to the old DCC thread from this winter, like this red/blue stuff what is it exactly?
|
Quote:
12 and 13 are two of my favourites |
I have played every Final Fantasy prior to X at least once.
|
There's only been one FF game I've really liked in any manner since X, and that was XIV, and that's...kind of not the same thing since it's an mmo ah ha.
Otherwise I stopped even attempting to play after XIII. And I didn't even play that one for long before I put it down. |
FFXIII gets a bad rap but I found it really enjoyable. The linearity didn't bother me as much as it did other people and the battle system was fun enough to really carry the game. XIII-2 on the other hand, blech. The gameplay was fantastic and probably better than XIII (they fixed a lot of the issues people had) but the plot and a few of the gameplay segments (Academia, go screw yourself) brought the game down a lot.
|
I've only played the first few and am currently playing V, but I feel it's nearly over. Then I'm continuing with VI, I can still amuse myself for some time with the series.

I haven't played 13 so I really can't say anything there. :c
|
Oh my god we are talking about Final Fantasy. That's awesome.
I found FF13 very linear and in my opinion the combat sucked. FF6 is the best FF ever made imo. It had everything. Characters, story... |
now i want to play ff, but is it really worth buying all of those goddamn games or can i just buy a few?
|
Ah, Final Fantasy. Wretched Final Fantasy.
aka "A game series that can be used to troll /tg/" |
I am going to get lotsa hate for this but I find ff7 the most overrated game of the ff series if not the most overrated game of all time. Got bored most of the game, story is ok but not what I expected. It all started to go downhill when the team escaped Midgar. Villain had a good past but he kept babbling about his alien mom most of the time. I just didn't believe they went from a psychopathic villain with no heart to that. On the good side he does look badass.
Combat and materia system was awesome tho |
Calling Final Fantasy 7 "overrated" is not only extremely passé (can we please not pretend it's 2008?), I also consider it bullshit seeing as how I played through the game and found it rather enjoyable.
|
Mhm I agree it's a game made in 1997 so I wasn't like "WOW THIS SUX BULLCRAP" I just found it surprising how everyone says this is the best FF game. And by your logic we are prohibited to hate on 7 simply because it's too old to hate it?
But yeah in the end everyone has different opinions. |
It doesn't prohibit you from having the opinion.
It just prohibits me from taking it seriously. |
Yeah, yeah sure man you don't need to take it seriously as I said everyone has different opinions.
Wondering what everyone's favorite FF game is? |
Honestly 7 is my favorite. People hate on it for no reason and at the same time a lot of people praise it more than it deserves. (6 has the exact same problem.)
|
Isn't it sad that Final Fantasy X is the only one in the series I've ever played?
|
I still didn't play FFX. I dunno if it is as good as everyone says. I'll think of buying the HD remaster for PS4. And don't worry, my cousin only played 8 so yeah....
I heard 10's main character was a total pain in the ass? |
I haven't been able to play any of the games after 9 yet...
Or at best very little. :c |
I haven't played any FF games....
|
Aw that's too bad :( some of the games in the series are one of the best rpgs ever.
Speaking of games i haven't played... Super Smash Bros 3DS :( ORAS :( Skyrim :( I have a giant wishlist, people |
All this game talk makes me miss my 3DS. I lost it a couple months ago, and I haven't been able to replace it. I'm planning to buy one in a couple weeks, I can't go on without one anymore. xD
|
There are times when I tell myself I'll get through a Final Fantasy game to get a better opinion but it never happens. Guess I'm sticking with Tales Of and even then I haven't really played any of them past Abyss. I do plan on it but at the same time the later ones just don't seem to jump at me? The only one that does a little is Vesperia because I have played a bit of it and Graces I suppose. But from what I know of Xillia there are some things I'm not... a fan of. But I'm holding my tongue until I actually play the game because I hate it when people have opinions of something they haven't played/watched so I refuse to do the same.
everyone talks about final fantasy i'll be over here talking tales of bye |
I really want to get into Tales omg. Heard so many things and the character designs are all so lovely so I'm sure it's something that would appeal to me.. is Tales of the Abyss the only Tales game for the 3DS?
Also I need to use my PS Vita more. ughhh |
All I know is I finally remembered to grab the cable I needed for the ps2 here, so now I can indeed replay FF7 or FF9 like I wanted to. :') Or any of my other games for that system, whoo.
IT ONLY TOOK ME A FEW WEEKS TO REMEMBER. I had to write myself a huge note to grab them, haha. |
Oh PS2, how I've missed that console. Tekken was the shit on the PS2, as was Crash Bandicoot and Spyro x)
|
WOW... I still have a PlayStation 2 at my parents' house, but I haven't gotten the chance to play it since...2011 I think? That console had some good stuff that I don't think i'll get to experience new incarnations of, sadly.
|
I need to get a Wii U. :c For the upcoming games I want of course like Xenoblade Chronicles X and the Zelda game.
|
I broke my 3DS not too long back and have been without a way to play Pokemon ;o; Gonna get a new one tho!

honestly if you know somebody and have the money, you should just build a computer. my roommate and i gathered up a bunch of nice parts and put together a gaming computer last year. thing runs like a champ and because we know every part in it, it'll be easy to fix if it ever has issues.
i only say this because i hear pre-built gaming PCs often have issues. |
I built my desktop and it's beautiful.
|
I really want to build my own PC really soon. Gonna aim for a gaming PC because there's so many PC games that I want to try, but couldn't because I didn't have the specs for it.

Ah, the whole singularity thing. I can't help but doubt that robots will just kill us, it seems really Skynet-y. I'd love to build my own computer though, I just need the technical know-how, nobody I know has any clue how to.

Quote:
Gaming PCs are superior to console, no question. problem is that they cost a ton. whoever has it is a lucky person. And there's absolutely no way I can build my own gaming pc :( |
Quote:
Also consoles can generally provide a more stable performance, in my experience. And I'd rather have that than have everything look as shiny as possible. |
