Had this same talk before on ATOT. I can't really judge because I've never eaten there. I just can't help it because the Chinese in me sort of vomits at the idea of any type of Western Chinese BISTRO. I just prefer authentic Chinese food if I'm going to have it. And the real stuff also costs a lot less than that, probably 8-12 per person.

Really though I'm just ribbing you. 😛

The same can be said of any cuisine that gets Americanized. 🙂

There's been some discussion on a variety of sources about modern technologies, social networks, text messaging, email, etc, destroying the social skills of younger generations. Makes sense when you see elementary school children sitting outside during 'recess' all texting and Facebooking on mobile phones.

and parents are powerless to stop it... it's fricken everywhere. I refuse to sign up for a texting plan. Fucking IMs costing money on top of what were already paying for.
 
I dont get modern lingo.

To me "hooking up" means getting together someplace.
To the youngsters it means "fucking", because they dont have the guts to actually say they were fucking.

were talking 15-18 or so...

My family and I were eating at PF Changs, prior to going to watch a relative play basketball...

we were eating, and a younger couple came in, 17 at most...

outside of eating, they did the following...

texted on their phone
checked facebook on their phone
conversed about status' on their phone...

all you saw was them either on their phone, or eating, or talking about what so and so posted on facebook...

HOLY SHIT.

Facebook status' what?
 
MikeMike said:
$48 for 4 of us to eat... but honestly, outside of 'snobs' the food itself isn't terrible, and at 14 a person average, it wasn't bad...

You have horrible taste in food and you can't do simple division. Brilliant.

Your posts are constantly fail, I find it especially ironic that you have a family. I always suspected you were a basement dwelling momma's boy roughly 22 years of age

I've made that rant plenty of times and believe me, no one cares.

I find it amazing that 99% of Facebook is people just sitting around gabbing. As if that didnt happen enough in real life. Nobody ever talks about anything real or has anything interesting to say. Maybe one person every couple of months will actually do something worth talking about, and people will milk that for weeks afterward. Its just a big gossip fest only no one has anything worth gossiping about. Thats fucking sad.
At least in my day people used to act like morons in real life and that would provide plenty of material to talk shit about. Most people are just using facebook is a very pathetic substitute for having a real life with meaningful interactions, and I dont care for it at all. Its no better than playing WoW all day and calling those people friends.

Actually its worse, cuz at least on WoW you are accomplishing something, even if its a fake life and pointless and probably distracting you from going out and doing things in the real world.

But none of that really bothers me. Its when the kiddies are constantly distracted in class and the professor has to keep bugging them to pay attention and learn and take notes and answer questions and ask questions. I know for a fact that nothing on Facebook needs to be checked constantly and darn sure not while in class.
It seems to me at the college level that shouldnt even be an issue. Kick the little bastards out and let them deal with reality for a year or two. And stop wasting my time. I actually paid for the fucking classes. Didnt get mommy and daddy to pay for me.

There are snobs at.... PF Changs..? The "upscale" takeout Chinese restaurant?
Click to expand...

PF Changs is an American restaurant. My girlfriend (Chinese) and I (American of German descent) eat there sometimes, she is always the only non-American in there (cooks included). Sometimes there is an American waiter of East Asian descent, but he has a thick southern accent. I like it, she likes it, but it is not Chinese food.

For the record...

PF Chang's chicken lettuce wraps are the Best Thing Ever :awe:

WTF is so special about angry birds? I dl'ed it to my android phone and realized that same "catapult the thing into the structure to get it to collapse" game has existed on Flash sites for years. It's just a re-skinned ripoff.
