  • I’ve never bought from them. Never been in one. Why? Well, because every time I see a shitty Starbucks open up in my area it makes the other shops put up their prices.

    When one opened up near me I could get a latte from Tesco cafe for 37pence, or a takeaway latte from Greggs for about 75pence.
    These prices quickly went up and up and within about two months I stopped going to Tesco or Greggs completely.

    And I could get a really nice cup from a local cafe for about £1. This went up to about £2 within about 4 months of Starbucks opening.
    I don’t believe it was about the extra competition, it was just plain greed of “of they can charge X for a cup of shit then we can charge X for a cup of notshit.”

    So fuck Starbucks. Fuck Costa etc etc etc. Fuck most big corporations!!


  • Whoa, whoa, wait wait, WAIT… When you say “do something” do you actually mean as in actually putting some actual effort in actually?
    Wow, that’s asking for too much!!!.

    Ok, ok, I would fiercely protest…but the country is massive.
    Plus I can’t be expected to travel thousands of miles to protest.

    Plus local protests are very difficult to organise, or find (in this age of instant communication).

    Plus, midterms. Just you wait until the midterms happen, then we’ll have so much control. Oh yeah, midterms will straighten all this out!!!

    (The above excuses are what have been said to me when I asked the same question over the last few months. I’ve now come to the conclusion that americans are either trapped or evil/complacent/stupid)





  • I’m going to have to agree with the third one down. The smartest way to get the rich to help society isn’t to tax them. It’s not. Honestly.

    No, it’s guillotines. Guillotines are the smartest way to get them to help.

    Think about it. If we were to get bozos, furckerberg, theil, and muskyboy in a big stadium then guillotined them all that would definitely make things better instantly. However if we then said, “Hey, all you other billionaires, you’ve got a year to actually do something decent… or we will be coming for you”, then the guillotining would be a gift that keeps on giving.

    (Hell, I’ll even volunteer to pull the guillotine levers so no one else has to deal with that guilt)














  • The bans were added discretely by the tesseract dev.
    It was noticed and pointed out by another dev.
    Lots of people checked to see if they were banned. Some were angry…that they weren’t on the list.
    The tesseract dev then had a hissy fit and walked off in a huff…again. Apparently he’s walked off before.



  • These are to die for!!
    They are so tasty that it hits you right in the neck!

    Seriously addictive too, just one and you’ll be hooked for life…

    My mate Charlie had one and all he could say was “…gang violence wharglegarbleblurfffff”, then slumped in his chair.
    I have no real idea what he was trying to say, but I guess it was that the taste was so instant that it was like a gang was having a fight in his mouth?
