Barbarian (2022)

I had SGF initially then saw someone reply with SPG, so I thought I had the acronym for the airport wrong... changed it back now. LOL.

We have flown out of SGF several times. TSA wait times have always been short. Long-term parking is easy, they have lots of it and the parking lot is right across the road from the airport’s entrance (though the parking lot is big and we always end up being a ways out there lol). It’s an incredibly small airport. Show up one hour before boarding and I doubt you have any problems whatsoever.

Which flag? The original or the new one?

Five Pound Apparel sells stickers of the new one for less than $5.00.

I am currently playing two MMOs.

I am subbed to FFXIV. I tried playing a couple of times in 2016 but struggled to get into it at the time (I was on console and it was my first MMO). Then I bought my PC in 2018 and picked the game back up in late 2019. The game's story from Heavensward through Endwalker was satisfying and dramatic, even if Stormblood was slow at times. I am excited to see where they take the story next given what's been happening in the post-Endwalker patches thus far. The game is packed full of content, though perhaps not as fulfilling if you are a long-time player who has already completed the endgame pursuits from past expansions. I really love the game's music (thanks Masayoshi Soken, you brilliant man), the "feel" of the jobs, and the welcoming community. My biggest criticism is that it isn't fully voice acted; in a game so story heavy and steeped in drama, it's getting tiring listening to other characters only on occasion, with my own input limited to emoted reactions of varying quality LOL.

I also play ESO. I have been subbed in the past but am not currently. I redownloaded the game and started a new character to play through the Elsweyr expansion (my first time) with some friends, who are totally new to the game. The game does very little to explain itself so it can be pretty overwhelming at first. Having played through other zones and their stories previously, Elsweyr seems like a quality expansion. The expansion's zones are big and detailed, the music is gorgeous and thematic, and the visuals impress all around - for a MMO, at least. My biggest criticism is that it relies heavily on its in-game store for things that should be at least achievable/obtainable through playtime; you can't even change your character's hairstyle after character creation without buying a cosmetic pack with IRL money (whether purchased directly or via the game's sub), which is just ludicrously greedy.

Both games have pros and cons for sure. FFXIV is the better of the two as a whole personally, but ESO has some very specific qualities that I really like about it. This may sound silly but ESO's level of detail in the animal/monster models and their behaviors is very immersive. The cities are large and full of NPCs, not just grand empty spaces for the sake of it (FFXIV is guilty of this even to this day). On the flip side, I am not invested in ESO's story in the long-term because there isn't an overarching plot connecting it all together yet (I believe they intend to move into larger/grander story arcs now), I don't understand the glam/appearance system at all outside of costumes (if it even exists), and collecting mounts/pets seems much more dependent on in-game purchases than FFXIV (so.... so many mounts and minions to work towards).

Welcome to our capitalist hellscape. We are advertised to constantly. It’s grotesque.

I’ve never gone into the convenience store myself, I avoid doing so at all costs lol. I won’t be going back anyway now that I know more about them as a company.

And BIG yikes. Can easily say I would have had the same reaction.

They used to just scream at you about deals in the convenience store, but yes, they now have a whole slew of political ads they are running this election cycle.

Thank you! I use Rapid Roberts because it’s closest to my home, but I can use a Kum & Go up Glenstone if it means supporting a better company.

I prayed to God and now I am a thumb-thumb.

“Aren’t so sure.” No, I am positive that did not happen. You are insane. Please seek help.

Always check out if the City is hiring, they have seasonal, part-time, and full-time positions available, usually:

I can’t wait to try it! And in walking distance from work, too!

"Detecting multiple Leviathan-class lifeforms in the region. Are you sure whatever you're doing is worth it?"

So, basically, the entirety of Subnautica outside of the Safe Shallows.

Good. Daylight the creek. It should have never been built over to begin with.

Yes, per the Zoning Ordinance, you can keep six hens or fewer - no roosters - on a residential lot. If you live in an area with a HOA, check your covenants first (mine bans them outright ). Be sure whatever enclosure you keep them in is located to the side of or behind your house, not in front. If you have a coop for them, keep it a few feet off of your property lines to avoid angry neighbors (and because there are setbacks required, usually three feet for something accessory like that).

Hi! I like your username lol.

Expiration/best by date conversation aside, I live near this store but try to avoid going to it because every time I go, I get dark energy from the employees lol. There is one in particular that I see there every time I go who is constantly aggressively talking about stuff very loudly with his coworkers, sometimes insulting other coworkers or talking about drama in the store. I even recently heard one call another the r-word, and I wasn’t the only customer around when he said it lol.

The fact that Mexican Villa even makes it on the list is very, very, very telling. I’ll go ahead and disregard the results of this list lol.

Thailand Station on E. Republic has some amazing basil fried rice and veggies! I get mine at Spice Level 3. 🤤

I pay a premium to enjoy movies at Alamo without some of the nonsense you can encounter at a normal theater. That family needs to get over themselves. The customer is not always right.

Just one more lane. We’ll add one more lane and that’ll fix it! Just… just the one more! That’s all it needs!

I've tried doing some Googling but haven't found anything helpful. How do you know it is a lie?

(not trying to be argumentative, I would like to know if what she said was indeed false)

Seconding Val at PetSmart on Glenstone! She used to run the Springfield PD’s K-9 unit (or something to that affect) and is so sweet to the dogs she helps train.

EDIT: Now not sure she really assisted with SPD's dogs. Still had a positive experience, however.
