  • Pepper spray for sure, and the gel kind specifically. Basically error-proof, and you don't introduce a lethal weapon to a bad situation. I got fucked with a little less when I openly carried some.

  • Was hoping someone would say this. Laika makes me so fucking sad, man.

  • CW For the expected stuff, given the subject matter. ::: spoiler spoiler A boy I rejected in middle school promptly attempted to choke me to death in front of everyone. In high school, a guy threatened to off himself if I didn't date him. A close male friend once body-blocked me into his bedroom and wouldn't let me leave until I started crying, when I didn't give him the answers he wanted. :::

    So yeah. People do worry, it does happen, and it's quite common. At least one in five women is a victim.

  • If I have anything more than this on my desktop I get itchy.

  • "Good results" meaning relevant results? DDG has tools that help fine-tune your search, and if you use them, you'll probably have a better time. I'd suggest giving it another chance.

    When it comes to location based services, certain integrations, and review systems, though, unfortunately I'd say Google is still the default, so there's no shame in using it for that sort of thing—just choose your engine based on what you're looking for. Firefox makes it easy.

  • I've been using PizzaBoy for a while and really like it, haven't had any issues. It lets you adjust the UI and display to your liking, too.

  • Have you considered a GBA emulator? Hard to recommend anything without any details on what you like. I also like Card Thief and Mini Metro, so you could try those ig.

  • This could pass as genuine in a Portland OR subreddit, honestly.

  • No worries lol. They serve... "American food." By which I mean they have a lot of red meat (especially bacon), bland and gross gravy, and the usual fried fare. Pretty sure they'd get scared if you mentioned a seasoning other than salt and pepper around them.

  • It's a restaurant that usually has some sort of "old west" themed gift/knick-knack store attached to it. Very tacky.

  • I don't know how many people here have actually been to a Cracker Barrel but I was forced to go by a family member once and to this day I remember how racist it felt in there--it was like walking into a cracker miasma.

  • It's extremely rough. I had 4 years of serving experience at the time, had served in a variety of settings from nice sushi restaurants to dive bars. They fired me because of specific niche little things that their establishment specifically does a certain way, which makes it all the more frustrating.

  • On the Hexbears being articulate and educated front, I think it helps that users here will shred someone alive in the replies if they say unfunny, stupid shit.

  • It's not just corporate jobs either. I was "training" (in quotes because they taught me fuck-all) to be a server at a fancy restaurant and show venue, and they let me go after my second day. Mind you, they only "trained" me for 4 hours tops my first night, and then threw me in for a full regular shift on my second day. Fired me because I didn't nail absolutely everything perfectly first try. Made me want to commit arson.

    Probably a blessing in disguise, considering the owner was a massive creep, but holy shit.

  • My lease renewal had a required "employer" section that includes contact information for said employer. That's probably one way.

  • Not sure about changing the look, but tree tabs are super useful if you often find yourself with a bazillion tabs open.

  • Oh nice, well that's good to know.

  • I thought YTS was defunct and any domains around right now are just shady copies. Nothing's ever come up for you on a virus scan?

    1337x is good though. I've also used EZTV for some more obscure things and it's been fine.
