Yeah, that’s where the kinda comes in. From experience, when you’ve got that much debt you tend to lowkey want to watch the world burn, so you’ve got that going too.

Kinda related: At some point I realized inflation is actually kinda good when you have no assets and large debt, because it effectively shrinks your debt. The problem is, I only thought about it well after paying off my debts and gaining some assets, so now I feel like the guys in the pic if I talk about it.

Huh, didn’t even occur to me there would be trans complications as well.

RPO tapped into some deep seated fantasy from my childhood. Much like Harry Potter it wasn’t very well written, but that doesn’t matter when you’re half lost in your own imagination the whole time.

It’s funny that Idiocracy is too wholesome and positive to be applicable to our situation.

Good point!

What context needs to be ignored? Ketchup is a sauce, which when added to completed food becomes a condiment, just like all sauces. Plenty of dishes are cooked with ketchup in the cooking process. The conclusion from the article you posted:

when it comes to the question of condiment or sauce, the answer is “both”.

Obviously it’s a sauce. I looked up the definition to try and figure out why they would say it isn’t, and I still don’t see it.

“a liquid or semisolid food mixture used especially as a topping or ingredient for adding to or enhancing the flavor of a dish”

TIL, double checked an it’s true. I never would have thought it had to be a direct line. My uncle has more of a DNA match to me than my great great grandparents. Weird word.

Some real hair triggers around here sometimes.

The exact moment I read this, I hit the lyric “When it is hopeless” in the song “still feel.” by half-alive.

Watching this again, why does guy #2 eat the rose?

Talking to a relative about people in his retirement community, he told me “A lot of the people here can’t afford health insurance on their fixed incomes. If something happens to them, they just die.” And, as I was thinking how horrible that was, he switched gears to “Did you hear about how those democrats want to try and mess with healthcare again? I swear they won’t be happy until I’m broke!”

Been watching Great British Bake Off recently, the ethical editing is really refreshing.

Why does his knife have ammo?

That’s a feature.

One of the great things about lemmy is that when I block someone toxic it has a significant impact on the quality of my feed.

I went to Wendy’s the other day, and they have this automatic pre-recorded English-fluent woman cheerfully ask for your order. While an actual person didn’t indicate that they were ready, I know they won’t do a second intro message either way, so I started to order. A heavy spanish accent comes over the speaker “Fucking wait, god.” My only thought was “Fair enough” and I waited.

Whoever implements these systems is crazy. We don’t pay people enough to be policed that heavily.

As a customer, I would feel much more comfortable talking to someone who doesn’t sound like they have a gun to their head.

It’s not about the nail!
