I guess that’s the risk people take for eating animal secretions.

Okay, but I sleep like shit if I don’t have a heavy meal at the end of the day.

I think different people need different meal schedules, and the “one size fits all” approach is the problem.

I don’t get it. I assumed literally all eggs were contaminated with salmonella from the cloaca and that cooking killed it.

But like, even if it sticks I can just go at it with my steel spatula and it’s fine.

I guess some people just don’t want cooking to be an involved process. Stainless isn’t necessarily a “set it and forget it” way of cooking.

It’s a job. Imagine having literally any respect for it.

Is the probability zero?

No?

Then if enough people get infected, it absolutely will.

Gonna need to take my español lessons more seriously. 😅

I think China is trying to prolong this uneasy peace with the West as long as possible, to wait for an opportune moment. As soon as they start making moves the West will overreact and hurt itself in its confusion, so they just need to wait for the best possible time.

Which is coming very soon if Trump follows through with blowing up the NAFTA and NATO trading bloc with tariffs.

I really hope Cuba can leverage this to survive the economic war being waged by the US. It’s almost certainly going to get even worse again, but if BRICS breaks the blockade the island might be able to start to heal.

It doesn’t even taste good! I fully understand cooking unhealthy food for the sheer joy of eating it, but low-fat PFAS garbage is missing one of the most important flavors of our pallet. I spent so many years thinking I didn’t like vegetables lol

Today I broiled broccoli, carrots, onions, bell peppers, peas, and garlic in oil and sweet chili on a stainless pan. 🤤

It’s not fair that politics are in command! China needs to let the chaos of the market determine everything or else they’ll reveal how fucking stupid and inefficient the market economy is outside of the econ101 classroom.

Switching to stainless has been great. If something sticks I can just scrape it off and then add a little more oil to prevent a repeat. I’m not sure why non-stick pans even became popular. I guess probably the low-fat fad had something to do with it.

Okay, now take this further:

If our judges all have conflicts of interest then our judicial system is unjust.

You love it when Black people in red states are killed by red state policies.

Yeah, because it feasts on the superprofits of the South through systematic underdevelopment and periodic warfare whenever they get to uppity with nationalization or promotion of domestic industry.

Ask Greece how great it is being unable to print money. Or Kosovo. Or Montenegro. Or Spain.

Literally the only benefit to being part of the Eurozone is that tourists don’t need to exchange their currency. That’s it. Otherwise it’s just giving up sovereignty to France and Germany. During financial crisis it’s even worse, it basically makes the government unable to respond to rapid shifts in the market and forces them to slash public spending to pay for bailouts.

Iceland wouldn’t jail bankers if it was in the Eurozone. Guaranteed.

You know how you can tell someone’s life is awesome?

They’ll waste time on an underwater basket weaving forum telling people about it, and insulting anyone who says otherwise.

🤡

Prices are set by the market. They can only charge as much as people will pay.

Obviously currency sovereignty isn’t the only tool to redistribute wealth, but it’s one of them! Do you not understand how much austerity is caused directly by governments not being able to print money to fund the government?

If a country using the Euro wants to build public housing, it has to raise taxes or cut spending. If a country with currency sovereignty wants to build public housing, they just print money.

If this wasn’t bothering you then you wouldn’t have ever commented in the first place. You need to tell us how unbothered you are, because it’s eating you alive. You also need to put me down so you can feel better about your own guilt, because you know I’m right.

Everything is a choice. I won’t let you forget.

Supposedly this is a democracy, implying you do have a say. Furthermore, you choose to pay your taxes. You choose to go to work. You choose to buy commodities. You choose to participate in society. You choose to obey. You can stop. Yes, at great personal cost, but you can stop.

You aren’t actually powerless.

You have decided that the personal costs are too great to act, and the way you’re talking to me makes me certain you are guilty.

We all are complicit and we all have to reconcile with this. Running from your complicity by personally attacking me for giving voice to your own guilt won’t change that.
