Honestly seems normal to me. My beer taste is either good high quality craft shit or Miller High Life. Good or shit. There's no in between.

No way, nothing like a good shower beer. If you catch him with one in the shower leave him be, he's just enjoying himself!

I'm not going to fucking argue with you, dude.
Yes, the term Latinx means jack shit to a lot of Spanish speakers. There's also plenty of young Spanish speakers who prefer Latinx to latino/latina. You are welcome to disagree with them, but you don't have the right to tell them it's 'not a real word.' That's not how fucking words work.

Reply to comment by FIFAFanboy2023 in At a venue in the sun: Weezer to perform Palladium Outdoors July with Joyce Manor, Future Islands by ocvictor
I'm sure this'll do well but as big a Weezer fan as I am I'm not sure they've got 'instantly sell out a venue' levels of popularity in 2023. Love to be proven wrong though since it's pretty rare a band that I was into in 1999 is still popular now that I'm old.
To the sidenote...I doubt the Palladium does, I've been to like 40+ concerts there in my lifetime and never felt like that.
Off the Rails is one of the most claustrophobic buildings I've ever been in though. It feels like it's barely ten feet across in places. Even if they weren't packing people in over capacity I can see that building feeling like a can of sardines.

Are you...are you trying to apply matrilineal descent in Judaism to Columbians?

So, you guess that being of Latin American ancestry allows you to 'claim' to be Latinx? You don't think that's just like...the definition?

No worries. So while we're on the topic of leaving out relevant information, there a reason you also left out that in the video you linked she explicitly says her father's Columbian at 11:35? Seems like that's pretty relevant.

Which if true completely transforms what you're saying and is a valid point but it's literally nowhere in your original post. You can't not include relevant details and then be shocked when people call you out because your post makes it look like you think being simultaneously white and Latino is impossible.
But it isn't true, she doesn't say her birth parents are 'Anglo,' she says her adopted family was. She identifies them as 'Anglo' when the question's first asked at around 9:50 and then again when she details the ethnicity of her birth parents she says she was 'raised by an Anglo family.'
Never does she refer to her birth parents as Anglo. She says at one point that her mother is part English, but that's about it.

My brother in Christ you can be both white and Latinx.

Every time this person posts it devolves into a desperate attempt to prove how much smarter they are than everyone else. Leftists, feminists, people who got the COVID vaccine, their electric company...it's honestly kind of fascinating. I've never seen someone JAQ themselves off this hard.
I'll be honest, I do not believe they're trolling, I've seen their post history...they're just like this.

Reply to comment by A_Man_Who_Writes in 5 and Diner by 508wortown
I mean, it's a big shopping plaza that has, historically, not been kind to anything but chain restaurants. On top of that the building would have to be extensively renovated or torn down by anyone who's interested because pretty much the only restaurant you could put in that spot as-is would be another 50s themed diner. Most people looking to open a restaurant don't have that kind of scratch, so it was either shitty chain or vacant building, not a lot of room in between.

>No, even at places with live music don’t charge covers
Serious question, if you don't expect to pay a cover charge for live music or entertainment, what do you think a cover charge is? Considering 'a charge added to the amount that a customer pays for food and drink in a restaurant or nightclub to pay for service or entertainment' is literally the definition of a cover charge.
>I’ve only been in Worcester for a few months so if it’s a city thing cool
This is a 'most of the United States' thing.

Bay State Brewery is a solid option. I curl at the ice center so I've been there almost weekly for a couple years now, I've only gotten the food a few times but I've honestly always been surprised at the fact that it's actually pretty good. Service is great, the people are nice, too.
For a bonus, there are a few arcade games in the lobby, as well as board games, so you could definitely play some Cruisin' World (or whatever its more modern equivalent is called) to kill some time.

Because it's not a live music event? It's not Ralph's fault this fuckin' dude thought there'd be live music at an event that wasn't advertised as featuring live music! He could have looked at the flyer and seen if there were bands on it, he could have checked the website, checked the Facebook event page, he could have, y'know, asked the doorman before he paid his cover...
