Buzzkill of the Day
There's nothing to agree with!
Verities:
- The sky is blue
- Water is wet
- If you tip <15%, you need a punch in the gonads
This is why we can't have nice things.
Who orders steak well done?
"Yeah, hi. I'll have a light beer. And give me an expensive cut of meat but cook it forever until all the flavor is gone and it is carcinogenic."
This is why we can't have nice things.
Sometimes the sky is blue.
The flavour isn't in the blood.
Pffft. People who eat steak well-done don't tip anyway. There's something not right with them. You should just tell them that they have to leave when they pull that "well-done" shit.
Go burn meat at your own home, prick!
This is why we can't have nice things.
For me it is. The perfect steak is between medium rare and rare.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
I kind of want an inbetween thing. Not too bloody, but not too well done either.
Y-You mean... medium?
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Same here. Except no blood. But it still has to be tender, so when we cook steak at home we boil it first.
Sure? I don't know, I never get to say how I want my meat, because I don't really eat steaks at restaurants.
EDIT_
I love to order chicken, but I prefer that to be properly cooked, because you know, it tends to be lethal when bloody.
Bloody, or near.
Not a fan of chicken.
Jesusfuck, I would remove my own eyes with a grapefruit spoon before I would forebear witnessing such atrocity.
This is why we can't have nice things.
lol, Europe.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Irina's family = Europe? Interesting.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Harry Potter = Europe
Now that's not a joke.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Poke.
That's inappropriate, Imke. Wait, what's the age of consent in Norway?
Oh, Europe. You crazy.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
It's my favorite documentery.
Oh, Europe. You crazy.
Probably like 8!
I can see why we're banning Harry Potter from our schools.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
I can't imagine eating a well done steak. I have to have it rare to medium rare. When I was pregnant with Giancarlo, I craved steak as rare as I could get it. Kid's a complete carnivore, too.
The best steak I've ever had was at this place in Key West on our honeymoon. Mmmmm.
Not a fan of chicken.
I don't like chicken either. How this happened, I don't understand, because chicken used to be my favorite. I remember reading a post a year or so ago where Tuffy said he doesn't bother eating chicken and I thought he was out of his mind.
Steak is so steaky, though. I swear chicken does nothing for me. If I were in the wild with wild chickens and wild carrots and such, running around, a chicken would give me only enough energy to chase down another chicken.
Do you think it's just not being cooked right? Because I've eaten chicken that I thought was amazing. Granted I would take a steak over chicken, but that gets expensive every day.
More chicken for me!
I'm pretty shit at cooking, for lack of effort, but my methods haven't changed. Maybe my tastebuds grew up and my cooking level didn't.
I have gone off pretty much all meat recently. I still eat it, but I don't really enjoy it like I used to.
I think I spend too much team reading about animal welfare campaigns.
I've that problem of no one to talk with most of the time either. In both the sense Fano described, and even more the sense Lib described (though the subjects of interest would be quite different) I know it is why I have been so lonely recently.
Actually, the not having any chance to really exchange thoughts with people is what is making me all bummed and thinking I want to exchange feelings.
I know I missed this part of the convo, but this is seriously why this place exists. We all wouldn't be here at the Cult if we weren't looking for something in our everyday lives.
We went out for sushi last weekend for Haley's birthday and there were eight of us i think. Before the whole party was there, Haley's roommate had wandered around drunkenly in 4-inch heels (i hate her so much) and had already demanded annoying stuff like sweet and sour chicken at a Japanese restaurant from two different people because she thinks she can get anyone to do anything but really she can't (i hate her so much). Anyway, our table was difficult and annoying before we'd even ordered our food. We received out checks and mine was $91 for me and the birthday girl so i tipped the waitress $12 thinking that wasn't enough and i felt kind of bad. Then another person at the table told me that the tip was already added in to the total and i shouldn't tip her more because the food "took a long time", which it really didn't. Anyway, the waitress probably got a $27 tip from me alone so now i don't feel bad for our table being so dumb and rude plus i was paying for my girlfriend's birthday and i was hosting the dinner basically. MY POINT IS people are assholes when it comes to tipping.
I'm pretty shit at cooking, for lack of effort, but my methods haven't changed. Maybe my tastebuds grew up and my cooking level didn't.
Could be. Just like everything else, taste buds change over time.
I always tip the 15% for sure, but when I have an extra good experience, I tip 20 to 25%. Waiters and waitresses work very hard for their money. I mean, I've had some shitty ones over the year, but I still think they work hard. I don't eat out tons, but when I do, I expect good service and I definitely compensate for it. I don't expect anything special either. Just get my order right, check on the table for drink refills and don't check on us so much that you become annoying. This is really all I ask. Do I sound demanding? Ha. Oh, and I like my steak medium.
Whatever Whore!
Hear, hear!

Chicken just tastes like poverty to me.
I'll eat it if I'm having it in Indian though; all those spices cover up the destitute.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Chicken always tastes dead to me.
I mean I know meat is dead, that fact doesn't bother me and I don't try to ignore it or anything, but something about chicken, it is like I can taste the actual death in the meat.
maybe I would like chicken if it was freshly killed an hour ago.

A problem for me is I know in many ways by hanging around the cult I am wasting time I could use to figure out what it is I am missing. Not even figure out, I've already done the figuring part, it is the making change part I am procrastinating to my own detriment.
Me too. Purgatory.
Why can't y'all just do both? Get fulfillment from life if it's missing and also get it from the cult? Balance, y'all!
People like us have trouble moderating.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
The cult is not the only thing I waste my time with and it isn't like I'd just leave and never come back if life was suddenly peachy. (look at that, I just defended my time wasting by saying this isn't the only time waster 
, if nothing else I am an expert at justification)
I need to make some new real life friends, is what I need.
The Cult keeps me sane throught my work days. I get bored and bummed out when no one is posting and then I feel like I am posting to much.
And the water was off in my whole building this morning so I couldnt even washmy face.
As your attorney, my advise to you is to start drinking heavily(er).-Tuffy
Been fighting an overwhelming feeling of dread and sadness. No clue why. Cant even say I have a reason to feel this way. I know I am just being a bitch but still. Cant knock the feeling.

Yesterday I did more roller derby stuff and I did it really well even though my job was complicated and very confusing at times. As an "official" you have to be impartial and I'd already been told off a little bit once for clapping the visiting team's skate out (the game hadn't started, I didn't know we weren't supposed to clap both teams for skating out).
And later I won a pair of Skull Candy headphones in the raffle and I was SO CHUFFED! And all the team were coming up and saying congrats and stuff and one of the officials came over and said, "Stop fraternising in your official t-shirt!" and it just really killed my buzz. The game was over, I hadn't had time to change, people were all being so nice to me and it felt like shit to be snapped at like that for nothing.
I feel like I'm just not liked by some people there, though I don't know what I ever did to deserve it. Fuck knows. It was embarrassing and petty! It's ONLY A GAME! I shouldn't have to be stony faced to every player after the game ends, surely?
The other thing is when these bouts happen I'm working for them for however long it goes on for, for free. I don't get any applause or thanks, it stresses me out, it makes me tired, I do it right and I prepare for every game and they STILL find time to shit on me about something.
I'm so down on it right now. I used to feel proud after I did a good job but after yesterday I was just relieved the tension was over and I wasn't going to be yelled at again.
Still, those headphones are worth about £100 so I won this time 
They sound like assholes. Glad you got something good out of it though.
That was really shitty. When the game is over, you should be able to do what you want. You are a human being. If you want to frantinize you can. I know with all the basketball my boys do, the refs talk to a lot of the boys. They even do it during the games. I mean you do get to know these opponents/players and naturally are going to speak to them. I would say, if they are talking to you afterwards, they like you. I think that is a good thing. I think the refs that don't speak to anyone, especially the players, come off as douches to me. This is just my opinion, but you have nothing to get down about and that other one that said something to you is an ass. He can suck it. You keep doing the good that you are doing. 
Whatever Whore!
Just take it out on them next time.
Thanks guys, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this behaviour is a bit silly. Most of the people there are lovely, I should add. There's only about 3 or 4 people who I feel uncomfortable around. I should stop letting them have such a big effect on me really.
I only just woke up. It's a total disaster today, missed two of my classes, don't know how I managed to turn my alarm off without waking up (did I turn it on?) and back to sleep after my boyfriend woke me up as he left for work. Jesus. Some sort of big collapse.
Had my phone in my pocket, went to turn the ringer off. Boss walks buy. acts like a dick and takes it from me. Might get written up.
But managers have personal phones on the floor all teh time.
I am going to have to slack off even harder now.
As your attorney, my advise to you is to start drinking heavily(er).-Tuffy
He took your phone?
What is your job, middle school or something?
What the fuck right does a boss have to confiscate anything. That is bullshit.
Yeah that's ridiculous, your boss is a prick.
Exactly! and don't order steak if you're gonna ask for it well done either. That's probably why he gypped me. I told him it was a good size steak but since he ordered it well done it shrunk considerably. Fucking asshole.
