Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

There was this big thing in chat and another thread a year ago about how it's perfectly okay for food stamp recipients to spend their entire monthly funds on stuff like a single lobster dinner and 5$ up scale fancy bottled water.
The man looks like a Magnum PI villian
Pretty sure that's a cherry dawg, but yeah, he's taking the assessment of the situation that his partner gave him and cleverly expanding upon it.
It's cute, but I don't know how I feel about reamed... juiced is really good there though.
Can you even give refunds on those?
It's wasteful and unhealthy. Soda, candy, cupcakes, cookies... none of these should be available for purchase. Toothpaste, diapers, toilet paper, and ziplock bags, on the other hand, should be.
Good show.
Btw I need to figure out what we are doing in terms of you getting here on friday and feeding you and such. Also I need to clear the stacks of spare furniture out of the spare room.
The issue is not that bad food is cheaper, its that people don't want to eat what you need to eat when you don't have the money to spend on the nicer things in life.
Everyone please rise for a round of applause.

Rick... Did you see the sunrise this morning?
Not quite sure how it works in the UK but in the civilized world we feed our guests the same foods that we ourselves hope to ingest.
Hey so does Matthew Bomer!
Oh...
Rick... Did you watch Regis this morning?
I think my ex-fiance will be there as she has just flown in from New York. We talk all the time but maybe I don't want to see her since I just started dating someone after 2 years of not calling a lady my girlfriend. Or I could bring my new girlfriend.
Or... I could play magic and deus ex. Hmmm.
I mean, look at this. Ambrose breaks Geoff Lawson's jaw here. You'd feel like you were facing a firing squad.
I don't yet know when they are arriving and whether they will already have eaten.
I thought I would check before Cesca gets carried away with dinner plans.
For me, my current experience with EYE is basically load it up, do something, and then die. You keep your XP and the like, and depending on the death, you might instantly be revived.
It's a pretty difficult game. I've heard it's 20 or so hours long. It has a Borderlands like jump in/jump out persistent multiplayer, and that's what I've been doing lately.
Tons of gameplay, though, because often times I round a corner, see a shit ton of turrets and baddies and die. Then I resurrect and instead hack the turrets and the PC and overload it all Deus Ex style and kill everyone with their own weapons.
There's also that neat power that lets you telefrag into someone.
The wife is away this weekend (why yes I am having sausage and chips tonight) and she's the one with the details of the train to Birmingham. I'll email you when she's back with times and so forth.
There are some strange things to using foodstamps. You can't buy deli meat from the meat counter, but you can buy the exact same brand and amount of meat if it's prepackaged.
You can buy candy bars but not weight-watcher's protein bars.
Yeah, one thing that people fail to take into account is that working for low pay and being poor is a huge drain on willpower. I mean you have little to look forward to as far as luxuries so going even further to take food luxuries away (unhealthy but delicious stuff) hurts. If you can never afford to go on vacation or own fancy stuff, eating doritos might be the only thing a person has to look forward to.
There's a lot to the problem of social inequality, but that's just a tiny way I see people just generally dismissing people on food stamps because they buy soda. No doubt I'm expressing myself poorly. I'm basically a social worker at heart though.
edit: I have also been very poor in my time. Now I live frugally but well, in my opinion, but I credit being formerly poor with my meager salary feeling like more than enough for everything I want and still saving 25% of it a month.
Cool beans.
We can get you from the station, unless you really fancy a wander around Brum city centre to take a look at the riot damage.
LOBSTER AND CAVIAR ON A BED OF CRUSHED BABY LAMBS BRAINS WITH A BOTTLE OF DOM PERIGNON OR WE WALK.
I make a good biryani, and Cesca can whip up some serious saag aloo.
If by "caviar" you mean "beans" and "lobster" you mean "Bernard Matthews Dinosaurs" then I think this could work.

Okay, then I know nothing about cricket
Who are you and what have you done to Preacher
Look I can't go back to jail echo, I snitched on some people and I heard sheep was going to shank me next time I go inside.
