While this is absolutely true and I don't wanna sound at all like I'm downplaying things, does anyone have information on why we haven't seen any deaths yet despite the high fatality rate?

Eating in bed is like: oh god oh fuck there are crumbs everywhere and this is a sensory nightmare someone please make it stop

The anti lunch break stance makes sense for a tory politician, but what does she have against sandwiches? She claims she eats steak for lunch, does she cook it the night before and eat a cold steak at her desk while she works? Does she cut it up into bite sized pieces before as well? Because there is no way you can cut up a steak and eat it while working. You can sit at your desk and pretend you're working, but you cannot cut up a steak and eat it while working unless you have three hands. None of this makes any goddamn sense.

Vegan Richa's Indian Kitchen is a good one

fair enough but I would also boil myself and then climb in the oven before I made fresh pasta from scratch

You don't need to boil lasagna noodles before putting them in the baking dish. Regular lasagna noodles, they don't need to be the weird already soft ones. People overcomplicate lasagna. You can literally just dump a bunch of ingredients in a baking dish and it's gonna be good. Sure it's not gonna be the most gourmet lasagna you've ever tasted, but who cares? I don't. I prioritize ease and time saving when home cooking. I would boil myself and then climb in the oven before I would ever waste my time parboiling pasta.

Yeah. I recently got a job I really like, but the fact that it's bookended by at least an hour each way of sitting on a cramped bus moving at the speed of a light jog makes me hate it nonetheless. Fucking sucks.

Adding to this, I hate transit stations that don't have ticket machines. The BRT station near me has an indoor waiting area, wifi, an arrivals board, but no ticket machines. Gotta go to some random convenience store almost a kilometre away to reload your card instead. Why do they do this.

Oh my god, there are far too many to name and I'm always looking for someone to listen to my ranting about terrible transit. Sorry, but for asking this question you're now going to get a very large wall of text.

1: A lack of signal priority. Countless hours of collective human time have been wasted in transit vehicles waiting at completely empty intersections for a red light to change because the traffic signal uses the state of the art technology called a timer.

2: Terrible right of way. Way too many transit agencies place their transit lines not based on where demand is highest or where transit will be most effective, but just where land is cheapest or where the transit agency already owns. The principal rapid transit line in my city runs along a river because the city already owned the land, but it means that literally half of the area surrounding the transit line is just completely useless because it's water. Highway median transit is another example of this, which can often lead to…

3: Terrible land use surrounding stations. Almost without fail transit stations in North American cities are surrounded by parking lots, highway interchanges, or just straight up undeveloped land.

4: The North American light rail obsession. Nearly every single new or recently built rapid transit line in the US or Canada is done using trams, often running partially on the street, with absolutely no consideration for if this is the right transit solution for a given city. Link in Seattle is a good example. It's absolutely absurd for a city the size of Seattle to have light rail. A city of 4 million people in any other developed nation would have a proper metro, but because Seattle is in America it gets a shitty light rail.

I may return to update this later but this was all I could write for now

You can also put a billion tons of garlic and cheese on anything and it will be delicious so I'm gonna have to hand it to the Italians here

Insane Chinese Clown Posse?

Juggalos with Chinese characteristics??

Wow... This explains why men don't know about the womb pouch, and how it's literally impossible for women to have a flat stomach because our superior internal organs stick out. Women stay winning 💅

Fair enough, and sorry for my response being kinda rude. Social media makes me assume the worst of people and I need to work on that. Also maybe it's a skill issue on my part, but I cannot make beans and rice (or any other legume) that isn't bland without some onion and garlic.

Never thought I'd see hexbears chiding people for not cutting out the avocado toast. Could that number be lower? Certainly. Is the problem here people spending too much on groceries? Certainly not. I'm not about to blame people for spending more than the lowest possible amount on groceries when they're tired, overworked, and short on time. If someone comes home from an 8 hour day that's actually 10 hours because of the commute, I can't blame them for putting a frozen pizza in the oven instead of busting out the pots and cutting boards to make beans and rice for the 5th day in a row.

Sometimes I have faith in the west, but then I am reminded of how many people here explicitly and openly support western imperialism because they are scared of Russia or China doing to them what the West does to the rest of the world. And none of this is subtextual or implied, everyone just says it out loud. They know it's imperialism and they love it.

I can't speak to the quality of the prints from this publishing house, as I've never owned one, but they are cheap and have consistent design so they'd probably look good on a shelf. Regardless of quality, in this day and age I think 7 dollars for any book is a steal.

I love how every artistic rendering of Trump done by conservatives makes sure to shave off a nice subtle 50 pounds at least

By living in California and being completely unaware that the weather can be something other than perfect. Someone else already said it, but I fucking hate California and Californians.

I don't think that's true. Cringe comedy certainly punches down sometimes, as many types of comedy do, but to say it is "inherently down punching" seems pretty rediculous to me. There are plenty of examples of cringe comedy where the majority or all of the cringing is being done at bad people, or people who hold power over others. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a good example. That show definitely has problematic aspects, but pretty much 100% of the cringe moments in it are because of awful stuff the awful main cast are doing. Even going back to the Office, which I don't really like either, I'd argue the majority of cringing that happens is at the expense of Michael, the racist, sexist boss. Obviously both these shows have problematic aspects like most comedy does, and I'm not defending them, but I do think it's kind of rediculous to say that cringe comedy is inherently reactionary, or that it inherently punches down on marginalized people. I won't deny many examples of it do, but that's not because of some inherent flaw in the medium, it's because we live in a deeply racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic and transphobic society, and our popular media reflects that.
