As a Southern gal myself, I got whiplash from the implication that people sayin “fixin” are trying to sound important.

I promise, among those of us who say that kinda thing, it’s seen as a mark of ignorance and bein low class in general. The idea that a hillbilly accent can seem “important” is banana sandwiches to me.

They are explicitly complaining that there are several users posting content they don’t enjoy.

Don’t you know the entire fediverse is supposed to be cultivated to PatFussy’s personal taste?

I have no idea. It’s monstrously large so that might be why.

I was buying them and eating half of one for breakfast but with like no protein and no redeeming qualities beyond “not hungry” and “taste good” I knew it wasn’t a real option. But my point here wasn’t “this is what I do,” my point was, “people are being disingenuous when they pretend it’s not a real option many people are taking.”

I work 12 hour shifts. I do meal prep of curries or stews and that makes a good, cheap meal, but the storage required to freeze 3 meals worth of meal prep for 4 days of work… plus the time it consumes in making and properly cooling and storing those meals… it’s not a luxury many people have. Convenience options are very appealing for many reasons and there’s this place where “I have to spend at least a day a week planning for work, preparing and putting away food in order for it to be healthy” yoyos around to, “I don’t make enough to buy healthy convenience food.” If I had kids I’d never be able to prep like I do. Hell, it’s difficult as it is!

I’m the wrong person to answer this. I react badly to eggs (just know it’s gastrointestinal and unpleasant) and I have oral allergy syndrome (specifically bananas).

Love hot sauce though!

I had a hard time arguing against Sam’s Club muffins for breakfast.

For less than $6, I can have nine 710 calorie muffins. But the cost to my health to eat that much pure sugar with extremely little nutrition and like zero protein?

But that’d breakfast for 9 days for less than $7 (including tax.)

People who say eating healthy is cheaper if you’re willing to spend the time have never been to Sam’s Club.

I love the way the smoke seems to be coming off of the top of it…

I’m in awe of the pylons.

And that thing where you’re reading something, and you know you read the words, but none of them “stick” and now you have to re-read the whole thing to figure out where you got lost.

Joke’s on you! I’m too lazy to fake anything!

I’m even too lazy to

I gotta tell ya, the only fascists I’ve met (who share their opinion in front of me) are online. All the ones I meet in day-to-day life are smart enough to keep their opinions to themselves.

What a fantastic resource!

To be fair covid sucks. I’m still exhausted all the time.

This is just The Game for kids.

I guess I’m a Boomer now.

It’s so weird. It plays more like they’re in a relationship but they both have a sibling incest kink!

Actually if you watch it with that in mind it’s weirdly wholesome. You do you, freaks. Glad you found each other.

…now off to call my boyfriend “bro” and see what happens.

E: I said, “I’m gonna take a nap, bro,” and he looked confused and told me that was a good idea (since we have Pathfinder later). Guess it’s not his thing!

“Some reason”

The reason being that anyone who has siblings and watched that commercial thought they acted like lovers, not siblings.

“Coomer” shit isn’t funny. It’s always felt weirdly anti-man to me and I’m not even a man!

Now we called them demotivationals because they were made in reaction to motivationals, which were all the rage in Shelbyville. And one demotivational was worth ten motivationals. ‘Gimme one for the ten,’ you’d say, and you would post your motivationals so the wizards of memes could photoshop them, or you might say “shop.” Which was the style at the time.

You could always tell a shop from some of the pixels, or from seeing quite a few shops in your time. Whichever was easier.

(I put way more effort into this than it called for.)

To add to this;

The first time I played SDV was right after the death of a family member. It provided me with an insane amount of comfort.

Every time I find myself loading it up I look at my life and realize I need the peace. It’s an insanely positive influence in my life.

I’m white. I have blue eyes. And when I was young, my hair was red. I was working retail, and this old lady said “Merry Christmas.”

Me: “Happy Holidays!”

Her: “It’s Merry Christmas. I know your boss doesn’t like it, but you should say it to me. So Merry Christmas.”

Me: “Are you Christian?”

Her: “Yes.”

Me: “Well, I’m not. So Happy Holidays.”

She got so stunned, like I’d slapped her. I was quite ready to get called in for being some kind of way with a customer but I guess she was too afraid of dealing with a heathen. Still, if you’ve ever worked retail, you’d know why this felt like a victory.

The thing about this is, you’re saying you have a small dick, but this is big dick energy for real.

Maybe someone needs to come up with a better name for it because it’s a very real phenomenon and most of us know exactly what it’s referring to.
