I love eating the box, that’s for sure.

They’re delicious, good for you, and two large ones are only about 100 calories. I didn’t eat them for years but now I get them every week.

I suppose you could shave them. But really you don’t even notice the hairiness. Try it! Tons of fiber and vitamins, it’s good for you.

I like em a little sour. I also eat the fur skin which grosses out my wife.

It’s not owned by a corporation and doesn’t sell your data or use it to feed an algorithm. So yeah I’d say it’s a lot better.

Incel culture has always existed it just didn’t have a way out if it’s mom’s basement without the internet.

Like most (all?) big counter-culture movements, most of the people who were “in” it were not really there for deep seated beliefs. It was cool, there were parties and music, sex and drugs were plentiful. Then it was time to grow up put all that stuff behind them.
I don’t mean to disparage the whole hippie thing. Lots of people really believed in it and do to this day. I just think the majority were there for the fun then got back to “real life”.

They literally mentioned that.

“Republicans are fiscally responsible” = “You eat seven spiders every year in your sleep”
It’s just something people will keep repeating until the end of time because they don’t have anything important to say.

This is the right way to go unless you’re totally incompetent with money or a gambling addict.

You make good comments, I’ve seen you around. Take it from a 41 year old if you want, you deserve to be here. You’re more thoughtful than the average person your age and that will only improve once your brain gets finished cooking 😉

So I tend to tear up when I eat really hot temperature food and then I like to add a lot of chili paste and jalapenos to pho. So I end up crying in my soup. I look ridiculous but I just joke that I’m adding some salt.

So I wore my beautiful waxed canvas jacket for like five days without a shower. It really smelled. I threw it in the washer with other clothes and the bottom hem on one side got ripped and it’s not as waterproof anymore. Listen to this person.

- Comment on Who needs retirement when you can buy an asset that loses value over time? 3 weeks ago:
We’ll see. I would have “lost” another several grand today if I’d stayed in. So I’m right once. Given that I check the market several times each day, it would have to be one hell of a jump for me to miss it at this point. But I doubt it’s coming any time soon.
This isn’t luck or gambling. This is recognizing that the economy is being destroyed either purposefully or through wild incompetence. Right now the market is reflecting that.

Hopefully anyone buying a new car understands that the second you drive it away it’s losing 20% or more of its value.

I’m talking something one year used with 10k miles on it will save you $10k+.
- Comment on Who needs retirement when you can buy an asset that loses value over time? 3 weeks ago:
Not having it invested has “saved” me thousands of dollars so far. This could be a full on depression coming. The market is not smart. It is irrational.
- Comment on Who needs retirement when you can buy an asset that loses value over time? 3 weeks ago:
You’re totally right and normally I would ride the dip. But we’re not in normal times. I’m thinking recession inevitable, depression possible. I’ll try not to miss the bottom of the dip, but that could be years from now. I’m happy with my decision.
He will say something incredibly stupid just about every day, you can take that to the bank. After delaying the tariffs again he announced 250% tariff against Canadian dairy because he misunderstood their variable tariff protection scheme. Even if the tariffs never officially come to pass, this on and off shit is terrible. The market is irrational but it hates uncertainty.

So I bought a Challenger R/T with 14k miles on it four years ago. I have put almost 70k miles on it, and it’s now worth $4k more than I paid for it.
For real, if you can get an old Ford truck from the nineties in good condition with low mileage it is probably a better investment than a 4% 401k match. My next door neighbor picked up a decent 90s Toyota truck that had been sitting in a barn for $1000. He is a mechanic so there’s that, but I thought he made an excellent purchase. So what if it’s missing some clear coat and has rust spots in non-critical locations on the body?

Personally I pulled everything out of index funds right before the market tanked. I know trying to time the market is a fool’s errand, but it was so obvious that the US was about to shit the bed.
Now if that money is worth anything in a few years I have no idea. If we pull through I will reinvest. I’m literally thinking about buying gold, something that I thought was stupid just a short time ago. I read that JP Morgan Chase flew $4 billion in gold to their vault in NYC a month ago. Other big banks are doing the same.
Fuck the big banks, don’t get me wrong, but they know about risk and hedging.
- Comment on Germany to reach out to France and UK over sharing of nuclear weapons 3 weeks ago:
Just curious from an American here -
Why should the EU have treated the UK better during brexit? It was clear at the time that they were weakening Europe and themselves on the back of things like immigrant fear stoked by far right and Russian propaganda.
The people of the UK that voted leave or didn’t bother to vote fucked themselves didn’t they?
- Comment on Trump tariff war would hurt Boeing more than Airbus 3 weeks ago:
This article is going soft on Boeing. I just checked, their stock is down 20% in the last 20 days. Airbus is up 13% over roughly the same period.
- Comment on Why is there so much separation in the USA between people who identify as "black" or "white" compared to other regions like South America? 4 weeks ago:
I misread the title as South Africa so at first I was like what the fuck are you even talking about.
Actual answer: slavery, the civil war, then segregation, then Jim Crow, then redlining, and through all of it slave labor through prisons that disproportionately hold black people. All these things create generational poverty as well. Now it is seen in the attacks on woke and DEI. The United States is profoundly racist.

Interesting. I stayed in Brooklyn for four months a few years ago for work, and spent time in Manhattan and Queens. I saw far fewer people saggin there than in the small city in a red state I come from. I do agree the differences are smaller in the latter of the two timeframes you mention.

Feminism has always been egalitarianism. There will always be people co-opting terms and movements for negative reasons. If men see feminism as something different that’s on them to educate themselves. Women never achieved equity and now (in the US) we are backsliding as a country.

I hear you but I have to disagree on fashion. Check out what the teenagers and 20 somethings are wearing in cities. There was also a racial divide in fashion and music when I was growing up that seems to be gone. Today you can spot a white kid wearing an ODB shirt and a black kid wearing a Nirvana shirt. Most of the “rules” are gone outside of work. I’m in my 40s and one day I might dress punk and the next I might have a more hip hop look. I can wear things that would have someone questioning my sexuality a decade ago and now it’s normal for a straight person. It’s fun and freeing.
I tried to phrase that last bit so I didn’t come off as a homophobe but I’m done messing with it.
