I live in Europe: rice, beans, lentils, meat and vegetables are way too expensive here. Eggs were okay until the pandemic hit and prices went up. Now they've come down a little and I can afford them again. That and cheese is my stock now. Pasta is okay, but I can't eat much of it every day because it really fattens me up.

Talk for yourself. With my luck, they'll find a way to prolong my life to 120 years.

At this point, I don't care anymore. We're effed anyway, there is no future for us... Even when aliens landed and took over the world it wouldn't surprise me. Maybe they'll do a better job.

Even thrifting is expensive now. The truth is, there's nowhere to cut and that's why it's hurting so many people.

Rice is also expensive. My go to is bread and butter/margarine.

I guess we have to reinvent the guillotine, version 2024. History will talk about let them eat cornflakes. It's so ridiculous because cornflakes here is more expensive than a loaf of bread.

Yes, let's attack the ONLY humanitarian agency that tries to do some good so their shitty opinions of Israel's behaviour towards Palestinian civilians, patients, journalists and aid workers isn't so highlighted in the world press anymore.

God, how stupid do you think people are?

Oh shut up with your insinuations. If a guy with a gun tells you to treat someone, you do it. As if Palestinians have gotten another choice by Israeli governance. You act as if these people were free before the attacks lol. As if they were living in the land of milk and honey, as if their opinions mattered...

I hope his idea is not to just plop the two communities together, but also integrate them. I listened to a podcast about a Muslim woman who married a Gazan Palestinian and went to live there eventually. She said they were very different from what she was used to. She worked in healthcare, had difficulty understanding their accent and just fitting in. Those people were under an embargo for years, so that explains the stagnation of everything.

Her grandmother was Palestinians, but I can't remember if she grew up in the West Bank or Saudi Arabia.

See me talking like it will ever happen...

I thought fentanyl WAS the worst drugs? No drug user, so what's worse than that?

Yes, but I meant next year. Because it's like I'm in 2016 again. Everybody thinks Hillary is going to win and NO WAY anyone would vote for this loser. But with Biden this time.

Yes, besides living in a rural area with a shitty library that has only books online I read in middle school, I have agorophobia. So making the trek there isn't that simple.

Even the biggest university library's online books are not up to date. They take years to get translated, so instead of waiting for that (since I'm not sure whether I'll even be alive by then) I just read books in their original language as soon as they come out.

And stop making fun of disabled people.
