  1. Oh trust me, not a problem. I had my last cup of the stuff using some flavored hot chocolate mix as a substitute for the powdered creamer and .... just yum!
  2. Oh it is. Depending on how you prepare it and what you add after will determine how rich the flavor actually is. If all you have is a traditional coffee maker, brew as you would most of your coffee. If you take cream/creamer and sugar, use a small bit less of each. If desired you can cut the bitterness a bit by adding a pinch of salt either directly to the mug or to the basket before brewing. Thanks to the pricing of it though, I'd use it sparingly.
  3. On the discussion regarding coffee: When I can I sometimes do get some Bones coffee but have not been able to for a while. Last bit of that I had was a Christmas gift from my RL sister - it was one of the Nightmare Before Christmas themed ones - Boogie Mudslide I think. Delicious! I am peeved that I no longer have any left! At least I still have some of the Top of the Morning brand coffee that my Mate bought me left! Golden Hour is the variety and it's from before the brand redesign. Also delicious!
  4. I do believe I have lodged this particular peeve prior ... Children. No, not people RPing children. Not physical (their actual age) children. Children of the sort that cannot own their own words and must go back to delete/edit their posts so as to attempt to scrub the forum record of the things they have said. Children of the sort who will abuse the Report tool in an effort to get said words scrubbed a bit more thoroughly (be it through targeted post deletion or thread deletion via mod intervention). Children of the sort who might carefully construct their responses so as to remain within the ToS if called out on them but are quite certainly taking a swipe at others. Grow up.
  5. That's nice. Toss the expectations out. That statement is not aimed at anyone in particular - it is universal. Toss. Them. Out.
  6. That's nice. Toss the expectations out.
  7. New behavior or not it is long overdue. With the present Hub in place and accessible to everyone there is no longer too much need to spin up a new account (yes yes, debatable). A step they honestly should have taken some time ago alongside reintroducing the Mentors. ETA: I type this as I stand near the Motown exit of the Hub, pondering if I ought to examine the Hub proper or continue around the complex. They even covered the notion that a new user might be coming into here at the behest of a friend and have a waiting area for the existing users to go to, to meet up. ETA2: Would I like to offer some help? At times, probably. Won't be able to do so in any official capacity as one of their prerequisites .... Well, Linden Lab dropped support for Linux some time ago and I am not going to go through WINE or Proton (be the WINE through Lutris or another application and proton through Steam) just to run their official viewer.
  8. Oh would you look at that ... another thread casualty ... You'd think the staff were somehow allergic to even the slightest hint of strife/drama with some of these ... Guess the peeve.
  9. Point blank: Anyone attempting to use such labels to dismiss a user's post is in reality telling others that their own responses can be dismissed out of hand - without exception. One of a handful of similar types honestly and they tend to "defend" each other.
  10. Oh for .... People, if you're going to leave then do so - skip the dramatics. There is no need to change your title, your avatar nor to make some sort of exit post (of any kind) nor to explain why you're leaving. Especially if you're going to get as upset as it appears some have. Peeve 1: Overly dramatic exits. Alternatively, use the tools the forum has here - such as Ignore. You know, that oh so lovely tool that hides a user's posts behind a banner that you willingly have to show in order to read what has been posted? That function that works perfectly fine as is. Once you've tossed someone into the Ignore filter, they are no longer your problem. At all. Doesn't matter what they say or do either - no need for it to be two-way. Someone else quotes them? So what - move on. Peeve 2: People not making use of the tools at their disposal.
  11. There's an Ignore function - use it folks. The usual tactics are at play here.
  12. Just gonna not bother to read every last page here as I can already predict the tone and content of some of the responses that have likely been made .... As a former Mentor myself I will note that burnout is a thing (kept me from doing too much at the tail end of the program and after its closure) and frankly did not see the sort of BS I noted some mentioning in the first page or two (sorry you had or heard such rough stories) either. Having a requirement to use the Official Viewer is - I will say - problematic to a point: Windows and Mac (while that crowd lasts) users won't be too affected but Linux users certainly will. I've made my views on that whole thing quite clear in the past and will not rehash it. Personally ... I wish the new crop luck. Be mindful of stretching yourself thin, ignore the negative tripe that'll be hurled your way by both some newcomers and existing users alike (some of the latter have enormous chips on their shoulders).
  13. Mmm, Salt & Vinegar .... I actually like some of the flavor variety in modern chip brands and also have a liking for a specific flavor of vegan "pork rind" alternatives - Snacklins. Funny someone should mention Chesapeake Bay flavoring ..... That's one of the Snacklins I love!
  14. Nothing whatsoever to do with being new or having a low post count or any other tripe mentioned. Nothing whatsoever. Discussions wherein a person's supposed real life background are relevant ... Those are rather specific instances/threads. Having a background however does not mean much in the long run, especially not on certain topics (as the thread which precipitated this oh so lovely tantrum and flounce rather clearly shows). As far as "shills" are concerned? No, these are not the users who disagree with you nor the ones that bring a dose of reality into a thread (among many other things said label has been utterly misused for). But then you knew that already and just need a convenient scapegoat. Welcome to life.
  15. Your personal pool of friends/acquaintances is not "the norm". Acknowledging that there is a higher percentage of users seeing this issue is not a statement that it is widespread. No user here has to entertain you or give you a single iota of 'debate' or 'discussion' on this or any other matter, especially when all that is being presented is - to them - just another flavor of the exact same 'arguments' that have been bandied about and tackled prior. As far as previous encounters go - as was stated already, the reality was explained to you repeatedly, by more than just myself. Other users who have watched and used the very systems you tried to claim you were an expert on (or had expertise which somehow made your opinion have more weight where it quite frankly and clearly did not). Done trying to rewrite things yet? No? Doesn't matter. If you want to rant, rant. If you want to discuss things, discuss them. Do not attempt to do both at the same time. Oh yes and you might want to cease the juvenile "shill" BS when someone doesn't agree with you.
  16. How to send in a Report: Send in the Report, move on. How to fish for drama: state you're going to send in a Report - no matter if you do or not.
  17. Your feelings where objective matters are concerned is not as relevant as you might like to believe. They in fact stopped being relevant the moment you tried to claim that your experience was the norm which you very much did with your phrasing. And the usual responses are being given at this point. How many more entries from the Playbook are going to come out and be attempted?
  18. Next step in the Playbook: "I'm gonna report you and you and you over there! Phear meh for I wish to stifle responses!"
  19. Oh do please keep pretending you're in the right. Got it dead wrong on the one pretending to be an expert as well - another page in the usual Playbook. Get new material.
  20. I see that the Playbook is coming out now .... How utterly typical. Like I said, new material is needed ... This went exactly as expected.
  21. You'd best come up with far better material - heard this all before and from better.
