A foam is just another texture of a sauce as a garnish, and typically not the main sauce. It's not as "why was that even food" as people put on. It's just an easy scapegoat for something different.

Cotton candy is air fluff that melts instantly on your tongue and leaves a bubblegum or artificial cherry taste behind. A foam is a similar thing, just with basil or truffle to compliment a piece of lamb sauced with its jus.

It's just lazy commentary.

Remember, those CEOs are also all trump sycophant idiots. They'll artificially lower costs further, to sell the lie, trump admin will make up the difference, and then some, on "lost" profits in tax breaks for the rich. Then, once he can take credit, they'll start to raise again, blame China or another country for rising prices as they climb back up and surpass current.

That will be the paper plan though, in reality, he'll lose his focus and just say it out loud halfway through.

I don't think this is trying to teach tens of millions, I think this is a scaled equivalent of me just standing in my kitchen, looking around and saying to nobody, "God damnit... What the fuck!" Before I take a moment to figure out what's next.

It's very human. Many had a lot invested in the idea of a better future, that this all might be salvageable. Takes a minute to reckon with the reality here. We're going to have to replace presidential debates with slap fights and primaries with Jello wrestling. For someone relatively younger with a family that they pictured hopefully supporting to grow to be good people doing good things in the world, just sucks to realize the "support" now means we need to start slapping them in the face as early as possible so that they have the most red and calloused cheeks possible to survive in the world we selfishly forced them into.

Raising someone to be decent today feels like he would be as valuable as raising them to be the best VCR repair person in 2024. You have a severely limited and likely permanently outdated skill set. You might be able to enter a few small rooms where your talent is appreciated and useful, but more often than not you'll walk around in a broader humanity that has no use for you or those like you.

Your landlord is a republican.

Or more specifically, your landlord is a property management company employed by venture capitalists who you just emboldened to get even shittier. And those VCs are conservatives.

Enjoy your perceived victory against bad old uncle Joe...

As is historically the case in this country

What is your social security number. My dad and I have ours, but wondering how the other half lives?

I see your angle, but it's not good. This is just the heritage foundation and power hungry around him telling him he needs to go through the process to lay a "defensible" legal path. He says they need to do it, instead of him unilaterally just doing it by decree. So they do it, and if/when challenged up to the Supreme Court, they just say all the boxes were checked, technically legal, moving on.

He'll do that dance, initially at least, for them to support the "is he being presidential today?!!!" BS narrative that they couldn't stop drooling over last time. He'll eventually collapse and regress, but this time when mask comes off all the way (or more like skin peels off of his face, as the mask has been off) he has absolutely nothing left to lose. Things are going to get dark.

What the fuck is this headline, that's Candyman, above all else.

I know this is a "gamer" focused publication, but come on!

If you voted for stein, trump or stayed home...

The hardest thing to accept is that, regardless, good Americans are still going to fight for those in the Muslim community if this administration gets in. You voted for this, indirectly or directly, and they are salivating at the pending opportunity to put you in camps, regardless of your actual background of citizenship, because you "Look foreign!" and that scares them.

How can you be such poor students of (extremely recent) history? I sincerely hope that we don't see the worst of what's possible, but make no mistake, you've made the wrong bet and very likely voted for your own downfall.

trump and his sycophantic bootlickers denied this asshole immorality as a supreme court justice, back when that actually meant something. The thought was that he'd have a fucking sharpened sword and be ready to enforce justice on behalf of this nation. He had a fucking traitor insurrectionist, on video... and nothing.

He was never the best choice their could have been, but it was promising for a brief moment. And then Garland just fell on his gray, fucking face.

These professional perpetual victims get a whiff of any actual perceived slight against them and they just cum in their little pants don't they?

In reality, if anything, someone probably said "We know the trump supporters have been threatening FEMA workers, if you don't feel safe about the houses with trump signs, you don't need to put yourself in what you feel is a dangerous position. You can skip those homes and we'll help those people when/if they file with the office"

Wee rnet gunnuh du gohd rhedeng nun morr, hah?

 

You willingly give them key points of information about yourself, directly or indirectly. They then read those signals and use your own information against you to convince you they have answers. And they are often wrong, but you walk around repeating their "insights" as if they are true.

 
 

I heard a person call into a show the other day, voice only, and talk about some poor working conditions at a factory. Made me think about how it would probably be so easy for nefarious bosses to be able to identify that person through voice recognition SW with all of the data that comes from us looking directly into cameras and speaking clearly in modern workplace meetings.

Do "anonymous" callers need to start using voice modulation software for these kinds of calls in the modern world?

 

Assuming to artificially secure people with new memberships through their first 4-6 weeks to establish a habit through the first billing cycle. Is this a known thing?

 

Hey all, I used to use a to do app and can't remember name, it was very distinct though, please help!

  • visual aesthetic was of an IRL open paper journal (distinct touch: out had a coffee stain on upper corner of the paper)
  • extremely simple, text input on lines and a checkbox to complete (animation of pen crossing by hand would play IIRC)
  • only option besides complete/delete was to move to "tomorrow". Then when you flipped the page (animation) you'd see the next day's tasks.
  • only looked at today and tomorrow in favor of simplicity
  • For some reason, I want to think it was just called "today" or "tomorrow".

Any ideas?
