    There's a brunch place in SF, Pink Elephant.

    They have do a bottomless, make your own mimosa bar with like 20 different types of juice, yummie food featuring sassy bacon... which is like crisply fried bacon jerky, and typically pretty good EDM and sometimes an actual DJ.

    kinda nifty.

    omg can none of you do brunch right?

    barf

    that woman does not deserve a proper brunch

    Because she broke the code of silence by posting the rules instead of obliquely referencing them while criticizing other people?

    >.>

    those aren't the rules

    that's not brunch

    that's some insufferable yuppie bullshit

    I'm pretty sure insufferable yuppies own the copyright to brunch now.

    equally unsurprised to learn that they invoke images of insufferable yuppies in tennis skirts and expensive wrist watches.

    those are not the proper rules

    You know where you can get a proper brunch, unsullied by yuppies and hipsters? New Orleans

    I'd only have brunch if the chef fled from Katrina

    but chefs don't make cocktails.

    chefs make food.

    this whole thing you are saying doesn't make sense.

    brunch sounds bad.

    like, the morning? Going out? On a weekend? So many warning flags.

    I think my only real problem with the Civ5 religion implementation is that there's no real atheism option.

    You can ignore religion for the most part if it's not part of your strategy, but you can't really opt out. Your people and cities will eventually follow one.

    It might have been interesting if high science cities would eventually lose religiosity, so the focus on one could cost you in other field.

    Well it's not as if there's a historically long tradition of atheism.

    Certainly religions that don't focus on a creator god, but they're deffo not atheism.

    And I mean historically churches, clergy, priesthoods, temples, etc. were more often centers of scientific knowledge and literacy rather than acting against them.

    I don't drink.

    But I hear that you do brunch after drinking. Possibly while hung over. Dragging oneself around, torturing yourself.

    Also you can drink at home.

    The purpose of brunch is to show off your success to the important people in your life.

    And possibly eat a late breakfast.

    Of course not, it's to dish with all your fellow upper middle class bffs about the embarrassing sexual encounter you had the previous night, or talk about the latest overpriced fashion accessory from your favorite boutique in the village, or to do a boring monologue because the show's conceit is you're a writer even though it's hard to believe anyone would pay to publish this dreck

    you do understand that brunch cocktails also include bloody marys, various corpse revivers, and fancy ass seasonal cocktails?
    Like, you can't just start in on mimosi. You won't get drunk. You get a couple real cocktails in you, and then maintain your drunk as hell with mimosi.

    it's when a cafe or bar targets people with disposable income and flexible working hours with promotional discounts to get something out of the post-breakfast quiet slump, and then it turns out that it's fashionable to have disposable income and spare time (quelle surprise), so it turns from finger food and drinks (half off) to just finger food and drinks.

    Hm, I never eat breakfast, I skipped lunch today because I wasn't feeling hungry, and now it's 9 PM and I'm still not hungry.

    I blame my co-worker who put a giant bowl of Reese's in the middle of the office. I probably got my daily calorie needs from that alone. I shall leave my next dentist bill on her desk.

    The true purpose of brunch is to fill your empty life with bourgeoisie class indicators.

    This black empty husk of existential dread isn't going fill itself.
