I respect that it’s a populat format, but as soon as a game has both PvE and PvP the game is just PvP in my opinion.

I don’t like most PvP games, so seeing both tags scares me off of most titles.

Sometimes you’ll see a game like that where you can disable PvP, or host a private lobby, or some other compromise. Most of the time doing so reveals just how shallow the PvE content really is

Well, it is and it isn’t
Understanding the date labels on your food

If the product has a shelf life of less than 90 days, it must have either a best before or packed on date with specific rules about how it’s formatted. If it has a shelf life greater than 90 days, the best before date is optional. Also a best before date has no guarantee that the product isn’t spoiled, but also may be perfectly safe to consume well beyond the best before date.

To further muddy the waters, there are actual expiration dates which must be included on very specific products. Mostly medical diets, meal replacements, and infant formula. This means that best before dates are not expiration dates, although most people use the term interchangeably. Indeed, even this article does because alcohol would have a best before date and the article is quoted as saying it’s expiring.

Anyway, apart from actual “expiration dates” which are serious business, best before dates do seem to be largely based on vibes and woo-woo

Edit: And you know what else, this all Canadian regulations. I have no idea how that impacts an imported product. I’m assuming an import has to follow our regulations in order to be sold, but hey, anything goes in business

Sometimes the best-by date refers to the packaging instead of the product. Plastic bottles in particular degrade with time and give you a whole bunch of microplastics.

Most booze shouldn’t go bad if properly stored, but exceptions might occur for lighter beverages like beer and coolers.

Aside, I think the best-by date is largely a scam and if it benefits anyone it’s either the manufacturer or grocer. I wonder how much perfectly edible food my family’s thrown away because someone saw a date that made them feel funny

Bad person, probably not. That’s a harsh descriptor to apply for a single transgression.

I’d call this behaviour to avoid though. Most people don’t like being lied to or ghosted

Sometimes you can’t really avoid it, like if safety is a concern. But if you lie and ghost because feelings are messy then it causes other people to have messy feelings

“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day” is a message made popular - perhaps totally unsurprisingly - by people who sell breakfast foods

Whichever meal you ate when you were hungry was probably the most important meal
