  Its food for the new poor. The generationally poor were eating chicken wings back in the 80s for $0.19 a pound and loving them. Now, after the dreadful gentrification of wings post-9/11 we’ve got ways to stretch a dollar you’ll never learn unless you marry in.

  Les pieds de raccoon, such a delicacy

  This is a decade or two past the true ideal. Not pictured: the 5-inch sliding control that mechanically adjusted between recirculated and exterior air and the drivers and passengers pull-knob by the feet that let exterior air flow in directly. A heavenly touring experience.Image

  Also on the one pictured in your post, I find those lit press to toggle ac and def buttons with indicator lights wore out over time and required a ton of force to switch on the cars I’ve had with them.

  Are they actual cut crinkle fries from a potato or are they like, formed potato matter because I could see the first one being pretty good. I will miss the straight cut with the potato skin on it from before though, yum.

  Strange Aeons’ take on it was also entertaining.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I ate: Arby's Steak Nuggets⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The arby’s near us closed years ago, am I to understand they have discontinued their straight-cut fries in favor of crinkle cut???

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If sexuality is a spectrum, does that mean one person is the gayest?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe its gayer to bottom for both men and cis women though, maybe “gold-star” gays are leaving some arguably gay acts still on the table

  Ancient Egypt dint stop using 𓁡 just because everyone was familiar with the Khnum-with-Ankh meme, why should we?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The level of discourse in the US right now ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What if people are naturally bi/pan and either learned or chosen aversion to one sex or another makes them either gay or straight? In a hypothetical world free of antigay bigotry couldn’t a person be dared to kiss or otherwise get close to someone of the same gender and realize it turned them on?

  I dont know but isn’t “born gay” or “born straight” kind of similar to gender essentialism?

  I’m all for a world where people have as much opportunity to choose as possible, but I also realize people put a lot of stock in what they’ve already chosen. Perhaps it’s like a long term relationship where someone feels their partner is the “only one” for them, following a breakup they often find there are other partners they’d be happy with too.

  Just my thoughts, no offense intended. Not really looking to share my own experiences here but they sort of make more sense in the theory I’m explaining here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What percentage of the world population ages 30+ do you suppose is capable of financially supporting themselves & living & thriving independently?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Vanishingly close to 0%. People are social creatures and rely on each other to survive. Without the intricate web of interreliance that society relies on only a few extremely healthy and resourceful, profoundly insane people would survive as truly independent entities, a tiny number of these might “thrive.” Probably numbered in the hundreds or thousands worldwide.

  I remember when my friend visited Arizona and they came back with a full color newspaper-style police publication with hundreds of mugshots and the crimes they were accused of, these were published weekly and widely available. Pretty fun to browse through, wish my state did that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unsurprising to me this is happening in schools, they’ve got to be ready for the low wage retail jobs many will have after graduation. A lot of places have been upgrading their phones to Zoom-enabled devices, which have the ability to record and summarize all employee conversations held near them for management or HR. I’ve worked in a couple places recently where it got rolled out and there were hints they were using it that way.

  Anyone willing to call me paranoid, or supportive of the idea this tech is used this way or will be, please respond, retail isn’t really full of many tech savvy people and I’m curious if I’m imagining the capability/use of this, or if others have had similar experiences.

  If this happens they should check ID at church too seeing as how children are much more likely to be abused or groomed by someone there.

  Is it unsafe to eat ozone, perhaps? Like if you had something really porous like a cake in there and all the air spaces became ozone, that couldn’t be safe to eat.
