As a teenager Iād say they make it worse but as an adult I wouldnāt trade them for the world. To quote a friend āHeās an fāer but heās -my- fāer.ā

When we were all of drinking age, my brother, sister and I got on a lot better.
As weāve gotten older, my brother and the rest of us have grown apart.
Me and my sisterās friendships groups amalgamated, and we still do things together.
My brother sucks.
My brother is 6 years older than me, my sister 2 years.
Went and saw No Way Home a few days ago (well worth the price of admission btw), and I loved seeing Dafoe hamming it up as Goblin once more. Earlier today I was watching some of the old clips of his first appearance however, and I think thereās an old timey Spider-Man fan working at Blizzard.
Ever notice how certain Mawsworn enemies make a screaming sound when they channel a massive melee attack?
I swear my Shadowlands instincts were triggered when I heard the same sound coming from Green Goblin. I think the pitch was altered just a bit to line up with a 2 second channeling effect, but I canāt unhear it now.

That concludes todayās random TED Talk.

Sure do, for all the good it does.
Guilty as charged?
Hail Satan!
Andrew Rea from the Binging with Babish YT channel has it, he describes it as, ātasting like burning tyresā
My wife has it too.
Annoyingly they put it on a lot of stuff in the UK and so everytime we go out for a meal itās usually ruined because itās been mixed in.
I keep telling her to flag it up when we order food but she never does.
Burnt plastic and soap, yes
Iām not sure. Being the youngest my siblings were all already old enough to have families, a house and married. The oldest one after me was already in the middle of her high school years.
I couldnāt relate to them, they couldnāt relate to me, plus there might have been some unspoken tension due to not having had it as āroughā as them so to speak so Iāve always been kinda alone in the family.
Iām all good know with my sisters, call them twice a month for news and idle chattingā¦ My brothers and I however are nearly strangers.
So yeah, Iād say itās tipping on the āenrichā side of the scale even though it was very late.
i hate going down rabbit holes of reviews for products
there is always someone who is dissatisfied and doomsaying and making me doubt my purchase

If itās a tiny minority of doomsayers for a product that has 4 stars or more, ignore and go ahead with the purchase.
I check how many stars the top comment has to make my decision, if a; āI give 1 star comment because of X, Y and Zā I give the thing a wide berth.

Tbf 1-star reviews are always hella dubious, same for 5 stars. Truth is always somewhere between.
I read reviews exclusively for confirmation bias

sure, but if they give a good enough reason; (item fell apart, didnāt work, didnāt fit despite what size it said etc.) and a lot of people have upvoted it, normally means it happened to them too.
I donāt just look at the one star and go; āthis is a one star productā I also read the review to go with it and then am like; āwell, thatās reasonable/unreasonableā
Like I was shopping for incredibly hot hot sauces for a birthday gift and the amount of top rated 1-2 stars saying; ānot hot enoughā was bordering on unreasonable.
Did find one, it was āscorched the recipientās tongue off, OMG I killed him with hot sauceā hot.
