What's was your favourite fast food product that unfortunately got retired and never came back?
  • The sourdough ranch bacon cheeseburger from Carl's Jr was my go to burger back in the early 2000s. They brought back another sourdough sandwich a few years ago and it was also good but unfortunately that's also discontinued.

    The sourdough from Jack in the Box is close but with the lack of lettuce and onions feels a little dry.

  • What is your favorite kid friendly book made just for traumatizing children?
  • ("The Story of the Wild Huntsman") is the only story not primarily focused on children. In it, a hare steals a hunter's musket and eyeglasses and begins to hunt the hunter. In the ensuing chaos, the hare's child is burned by hot coffee and the hunter jumps into a well.

    lol wut?

  • Aang lacks tact
  • To add to what other comments have said, wasn't Aang fighting the Fire Nation when this was going on?

    So even if we want to make the argument that Yue is a spirit, he didn't see her as a spirit.

  • Recommendations for Pacific Northwest Themed Games?
  • Thimbleweed Park seems to fit your criteria. One of the reviews even compares it to Twin Peaks. It's a point and click murder mystery adventure game with where you have to switch between 5 characters.

    It's been years since I've played but I think the setting was in a fake Northwest Pacific town.

    Fun fact, the names in the phone book and the titles/stories of the books in the library came from Kickstarter backers. Some of the books were pretty funny.

  • Arizona state senator indicted in fake electors scheme is tapped for RNC position | CNN Politics
  • During its weekend convention, the Arizona GOP also passed a resolution to censure Pence and former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley for “their dereliction of duty of refusing to support President Donald J. Trump and by default supporting the democrats.”

    An equally concerning, if not more concerning, move by the Arizona GOP was to punish Republicans who didn't support Trump. Neither Pence nor Haley endorsed Trump for president and that is apparently a bigger crime than trying to overturn an election or being removed from office for ethics violations.

  • What's the best Simpson merch you own? What's the worst?
  • I have a Homer clock that would say a Homer quote every hour. My grandpa got it for me at a garage sale so it meant a lot that he remembered something I liked. Since he said the same unique quote for every hour, I could tell what time it was based on the quote.

    Unfortunately I had to put the clock in storage since it stopped working. The second hand kept getting stuck, even with new batteries.

    I also have a pair of Homer slippers. I wore the hell out of them in college. I had to buy a new pair recently because of how worn out they were.

  • Earphones for mobile gaming
  • Does it need to be wireless? If so it would be difficult. Otherwise, I'd look into open back reference headphones.

    I've had my Akg K712 Pro for years and I love them. They cushions are really soft so I can wear them with my glasses for hours.

  • Song lyrics getting simpler, more repetitive, angry and self-obsessed – study
  • Interesting read. Never thought about how the emotions of songs have changed. I wish they discussed more on how the different ways people listen to music affects the complexity of the song lyrics.

    They briefly mention how most people listen to music as background noise and that the first 10-15 seconds are crucial to whether people listen to the song or skip it.

    But there are also other factors I wished they mentioned like how easily accessible songs are (you don't have to go out and buy a physical copy) or other types of audio competition (like audio books or podcasts). Since musicians have to try to appeal to as many people as possible to compete with so many other choices for people to listen to, the lyrics have gotten simpler and more repetitive/catchy.

    But I guess it's not so much an explanation of why lyrics have changed but proof that it has.

  • Is it possible to get a virtual credit card for a different country?

    I wanted to get my mom YouTube Premium for her birthday but don't want to pay the ridiculous annual price for my country (especially since she mostly just watches YouTube shorts). She uses an iPhone so trying to get adblocker would be too much of a hassle, especially if it stops working. She won't be able to figure out how to fix it.

    I've tried using account sellers in the past but the last one I used had some issues and now I can't add my mom's YouTube account to a different family account for another year.

    I am able to use a VPN to buy premium for cheaper from a different country but they require a credit card for that country. Is it possible to get a virtual debit/credit card for different countries?
