In America, juice and jelly have the same sugar and fake ingredient contents.

Thinking cheaper automatically means you’re getting more value out of something, (example: I got this whole cake that can feed 10 people for $15 bucks!) ignoring the quality of that thing.
Thinking something expensive automatically means you’re getting something of better quality (example: This bottle of wine is over $100. It’s definitely better than one that uses much better methods of wine production that only costs $20).
Basically, my beef is with Americans having little sense of discernment and/or lack of good taste.

You don’t think there are plenty of bacteria on your back already? Not to mention it would likely be on the back of your shirt. What’s in the air goes straight into your lungs.

which always reminded me of the way it was done on old pirate ships
Hey - that’s a neat way of thinking about it!

Someone commented a reply which I thought worthy of highlighting:
“I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are.”

That’s the wording a lot of other people would use, I’d say. I wouldn’t be able to put together a PC, and most people I know are like that. I have maybe two cousins that can. But we’d probably all agree that plug-and-play means that you buy something and it works just like that. For example, a refrigerator is likely plug and play, because you don’t expect to have to put together the components to make it work. You just plug it in and it works.

Sometimes it’s helpful to connect the dots between billionaires and the voices that do all the talking which affect public discourse.

Yeah the funny and notable part about it is the fact that the English word isn’t said with a Spanish accent.

Ugh this is all wrong. It’s GUINAN. :)

We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent. - Justice Sonia Sotomayor
As should we all.

I’ve come across Against The Machine by Paul Kingsnorth. This is pretty much getting at the same. He’s a great writer, imo.
- Comment on What even is money at this point 3 months ago:
Because that’s how the rich like it. The poors feel the effects, while the rich maintain or grow what they have.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 3 months ago:
Who are you talking to? See, you’ve included me in a group which i am definitely not even a part of. If this is how people like you behave, this country has no hope of reconciliation. (I have, and would never vote for, someone like Trump, btw)
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 3 months ago:
I don’t know… just like how “black voters” are not a true homogenous voting block, neither are “MAGA” proponents all of the same ideology. There’s no rule book they all “abide” by. It’s a spectrum of ridiculous people.

Nice examples provided to prove your point.
- Comment on ‘It speaks to me in brain rot’: Theorising ‘brain rot’ as a genre of participation among teenagers 3 months ago:
Some sources – mainly psychology and wellness websites, but also notably mainstream news outlets such as Fox News…
Are we still referring to Fox News as a “news outlet”?

Our culture disintegrates every time we choose convenience over everything.
- Comment on A thermostat should be called a thermostay. 4 months ago:
The word thermostat comes from the Greek “thermos” (heat) and “status” (standing or stationary), which translated loosely means “keep heat at a steady level.”

I left Spotify for many reasons including this. They’ve only proven that they do not care about artists at all. I remember before I left, many of the tracks that came up “based on my playlist” were just random AI generated crap.

That’s literally the only reason Trump is where he is. He’s not actually good at anything.

No worries haha. I actually looked up “Barista” to make sure there wasn’t a male version before I commented just in case.

You mean because they don’t pay them enough? Also could be a him, btw.

This in mind, why isn’t Trump a wealthy elite to them? How did he become their savior??
