If the food costs less if I cleaned my own plates and cutlery, then maybe sure. I don't think cleaning plates is degrading considering everyone does it at home anyway. Restaurants are providing service along with the food, and that includes the freedom to enjoy your meal without needing to clean up after.

I'm the youngest sibling with an age gap of 7-8 years to my older brother and sister. Growing up I was mostly alone, ignored, or often fought with them but eventually we grew a deep bond together through similar interests. The times I've spent with my siblings have been some of my most precious memories. I'm fortunate to have siblings that I could call my best friends and role models in life.

Mine gradually came back after some time (I think maybe a week or two before it fully recovered?)

Some things that helped me in the meantime while my taste buds were dead was orange juice. That's was probably the only thing I could taste and kept my sanity up throughout the ordeal.

I like to play any type of horde clearing game where I can shut my brain off and just swing/shoot my way through a bunch of enemies. Some examples of this are deep rock galactic and vermintide 2. One scratches the shooty itch and the other scratches the swingy itch

If I ain't shooting or swinging I like to play roguelites. Slay the spire and faster than light are classics I keep returning to. Interested in trying out cobalt core soon which looks like a mix of STS and FTL

Progress.

If I'm improving in any way shape or form then I'm a step out of the dark. This can be from anything like going to the gym, improving on my hobbies, or even learning something new.

Though Malaysian headphones are usually labelled L and R too

Playing a spartan javelin/tridebt-throwing build is probably the most fun I've had in an rpg in a long time

If I'm doing a quest that involves them, I'd bring them along and swap out karlach - mainly because my tav plays the same role and I feel karlach's quests are fewer than the rest

But my main gang is currently me (throw barb), shadowheart (life cleric / tank) laezel (rogue/hunter) and karlach (giant eagle-diving barb cutiepie)

I love karlach and I also love shadowheart & laezel's interactions

Laezel's been growing on me lately. Used to not like her that much at the start but now she's a permanent member of my party. Interested to know how others feel about her

I love karlach she's so cute

Shutting down questions with any variation "just Google it" It always irks me when someone goes "bro you know Google exists right" like if I wanted to Google it I wouldn't be asking it here

Southeast Asian batik clothes are a nice alternative to western clothing (for both men and women)

Here they can be considered both formal and casual so you can wear it for anything. I'm a big fan of batik pants myself.
