What’s crazy is the kids are starting to talk like the robots, monkey hear monkey say

Yeah but they aren’t amazed by that, tons of porn in literally every civilization. But cat videos are novel

Do we have a new rollie pollie discourse evolving? Where you from that your grilled cheese needs ham and onion?

If we do we don’t call em that, what makes a toastie?

Agreed

Yes cheddar and mozzarella is perfect. Processed cheddar may even be preferable especially if it’s the kind that comes in individual wrapped slices for sandwiches. Two slices is probably plenty but you can do more if it’s larger slices of bread, you just run the risk of the cheese spilling out of the sides while cooking it. If this happens just flip the sandwich onto the cheese until it sticks to the outside of the bread. Garlic salt is also pretty crucial. Low heat and slow is the way to go it’s pretty easy to overshoot and burn the bread, if this happens and you catch it in time you can use a butter knife to scrape the black part off until you get to good bread underneath.

I’m not a fan of his cuz of his politics, but this bit is really funny.

Yeah the MBA guys who pushed enshitification were empowered because their strategies made more money so they must know what they are doing right? Now things don’t happen because they are better they happen because these guys think there is money. And the guys who used to pick the best ideas are out being rich somewhere

Hell yeah

Yeah lots of folks do what you did and I think there’s a kind of rugged individual thinking in that. Which is really favored in America but lots of people just do what the people around then do to. So if everyone eats chicken nuggies and tater tots and cheeseburgers then that’s what you eat. Have you made kitchari? It’s really hearty and good rice and dal. I just made a rice and dal and mirepoix lamb stew the other day. I was winging it though and it did come out super tasty, I kinda messed up the salt ratio I think. But it was hearty af, just kinda bland

Not to mention readily available and clean pay toilets. When I was first there I was shocked to learn I had to pay to pee, but now that I’m a gig worker finding a toilet is a pain in the butt

It’s a cost thing, you can get fresh ingredients to make anything and lots of people do. But it comes down to price in terms of dollars and more importantly time. We gotta work 40 hours a week and usually an extra 5 to 10 unpaid commuting in cars we have to pay insurance on (liability in case we have an accident and hurt someone or their property, and if your car is nice liability in case someone hits it and doesn’t have insurance) and fuel.

And when so much of your time and resources are taken this way it’s really easy to take the cheap processed route. Lots of times it’s hard not to

There really does seem to be a kind of social cohesiveness in other countries. In America it’s dog eat dog and fuck everyone else as long as I get mine.

And wearing the glint makes their lives easier because when anyone sees their colors they know exactly what to expect from them. If they are ok with it then they might be a mark and if they are repulsed then they know not to waste their time.

I’m old enough to remember when they were purple. And the orange ones are great but I think statistically the two reds after free parking are the most landed on square.

I heard Pollock was funded by the CIA just to fuck with the heads of the kgb
