I’ve been getting emails with the subject line, “Your expertise is requested,” from LinkedIn for several years now. They definitely know how to pander to their audience!

I feel like maybe I’m being a bit thick here, but there’s no way for people to go to… news sites?

Oh! Huh. Okay, good to know. Thanks for the tip!

Oh, this is such a shit thread to have this conversation, but nevertheless…

I played Firewatch for a while a couple of years ago and LOVED it. Didn’t finish, not sure what happened but I just never got back to it. I think I’ve forgotten enough of it now that I can go back and start again and have a fresh experience. I’ve recommended this game to a few people and everyone has loved it. Some excellent twists and turns and fun little bits of mystery. Great writing!

Well, that was a fantastic read. Took about an hour with looking up some of the references they make and getting deeper into a few things. Thanks for posting!

Whatever the age, if you act like a know it all privvy cunt everybody’s going to fuck you like a cunt.

Hey, this post is a great example of that very thing!

I feel sad for the people who bought into the ‘boomers are to blame’ propaganda. Very similar to the ‘they terk er jerbs’ crew. From this article:

Research by the Insured Retirement Institute (IRI) from 2019 also suggests trouble for many retiring Boomers. IRI found that 45% have no retirement savings. Out of the 55% who do, 28% have less than $100,000. This suggests that approximately half of the retirees are, or will be, living off of their Social Security benefits.

I don’t know if you think that it was millenials who started planting trees, or protesting forestry policies and oil companies, but I’ve been getting arrested for that very thing since the 80s, along with a lot of my friends. People who, by the by, did not make the cut for home ownership. If you think it’s because everyone over 40 voted for this, I’d be curious to know who you’ve been voting for that is turning this around.

The people you want to be raging against are the rich people. Plain and simple. And if you’re such a simpleton as to believe that the problem is age, it probably doesn’t matter what you think at this point, anyway. But I wish you the best of luck!

Maybe Facebook got so big and their search is so good that people just stopped using Google search for it, but I have a hard time believing that can be responsible for a drop of this magnitude.

I would say you’re probably right. Remember this old gem?

I made the awful decision to go with Bowers & Wilkins over the Sonys. They sound okay, but the design is absolute garbage. Next time it’s Sony.

I would be interested in knowing what crimes they are. Whaddya got?

Well if everyone is just buying shit because corporations tell them to and the world is that fucking stupid, then we deserve what’s happening.

The 70% that comes from corporations comes from people. The people who use the products that the corporations provide. So, if Exxon is one of those major polluters, that is based largely on the people who purchase Exxon products and use them.

This 70% number comes from a 2017 study that measured emissions from 1985-2015. So while those corporations are selling the product that pollutes, when we order some stupid shit from Amazon and it has to come from China on a ship to get here, we are responsible for using that product. When we get UberEats delivered, we are responsible. Ordinary people can fight that by not buying stupid shit we don’t need from China and in so many other ways. Yes, the corporations produce those products, but it is US that consumes it and we are ultimately responsible for the emissions. It’s a fun way to try to say “it’s not me, it’s them,” but the fact is, it’s all of us.

Looks wonderful. And is actual food porn, instead of two overfilled pots of chili.

Finally some actual food porn. Looks delicious, mate.

Totally agree. Someone posted some grey meat and potatoes on a plate with a bowl of soupy weird tomatoes and people seemed to think that was pretty awesome. Looked kind of sad and depressing to me.

Looks fantastic! I’ve been meaning to try that recipe. His posts like that are the only time I don’t mind reading for a half hour before getting to the recipe. His chicken wings post is another great one, and it really works!

As a kid I had really bad asthma, which led to a lot of chest congestion. Had codeine around for when it got bad. Worked quite nicely, indeed.

Medium fat, fries, pickle, Cott’s black cherry soda. The best meal I’ve ever had.

Did you replace the baguette with a hot dog bun? Char siu looks delicious, though!
