Is the ocean a soup?

I wonder how long this'll take for them to literally all die off.

What a good night, I sure am glad nobody knocked over my glass.

Getting them from a fast food place that doesn't care about separating ingredients also ruins the point.

Su was saying that a better way to make chicken flavored food is to add chicken.
Which, yeah, he figured it out.

It you want chicken flavored fava bean, just cook them in chicken broth. It you need it in shaped paste form, just mash them, shape them into "fingers" and bake them. They will be healthier, cheaper and you can season them to your personal taste.

Except the point is to be vegan/vegetarian, so cooking them in chicken broth kind of ruins the point.

Most businesses plan for retirees as they reach that age.

Does your workplace do that?
Mine sure as fuck doesn't.

BEERandWEED posted...

Considering the majority of those were people well into retirement, it's doubtful that's the reason.

Bro, what sort of business has a "well, Jimmy here is 10 years from retirement, better prepare for it" policy? And not a madscramble dash every time someone leaves?
Do you have a magical HR group?

It's a hard stat to track since the unemployment is based off how many people paying into the unemployment fund and how many collecting from it. Those that aren't doing either go unaccounted for. But the lack of staffing at many businesses is obvious.

Well, maybe. You also have to remember that the PPP loan pushes hiring people when the time comes along. Plus, we also don't know what the staffing situation was like before, McDonalds was hiring before, and it's hiring now.
Maybe too many people retired, maybe too many people died, maybe too many people don't want to work. It's all conjecture until there's some metric being measured.

It's never as simple as things are first laid out.

Unemployment is something that can be measured and compared on a timeline though. It's not everything, but, it's something.

BEERandWEED posted...

There are actually less people working and less people collecting unemployment.

Cool, where ya stats? If you think it's true, I'd love to be proven wrong.

BEERandWEED posted...

That number is based on how many are collecting unemployment. Many businesses are actually understaffed due to people being unwilling to work.

It's still the same metric as it was before fam.

But its less of a Heres good things about us thing and more like a spoiled child demanding special treatment and attention because hes different.

You are correct, sometimes advertisement isn't about proclaiming your strengths, sometimes, it's about getting attention. So when you are purchasing a product, you are drawn to the product that you remember from before.
For example: byond meat is currently one of the major fake-meat products? Why? Because they have put forward and effort in marketing and having joint products with fast food companies.

Because it brings attention to the brand, the fast food brand, and customers to try out the product.

Which is their point, to bring people in.

This is how advertisement works.

I'm honestly a big fan of chicken, cheap, flexible, and doesn't aim to be the star of a dish, just helps out.

I really sont like plant based meats. All the companies do is scream IM BETTER THAN MEAT PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEEEEEE Which is kinda a red flag.

Yes.
This is how advertising works.
You figured it out.

From what I've heard, plenty of anime fans would disagree with you.

There seems to be a sentiment that the industry as a whole has been a soulless husk of itself for the last 15 years or so, with the occasional gem but mostly dreck. Which is like 97% slice-of-life or Isekai.

That's because everything that was good came out before I was 5, everything that was an undiscovered gem game out when I was 13-20, and everything else after that was garbage for dumb people.

This is honestly the first time I've heard about it, so, maybe?

A better reference would be the penny dreadfuls, but, nobody cares about those anymore.

HP Lovecraft and Arthur Conan Doyle are probably technically light novel authors idk

The average length of a light novel is about 50,000 words,[4] close to the minimum expected for a Western novel,[5] and they are usually published in bunkobon size (A6, 10.5 cm 14.8 cm), often with dense publishing schedules.

Uuuh, 50k is quite a lot for a short story.

There's still plenty of indie games, but yeah, I haven't touched anything modern in years.

Books are published every day of every year of every year in every language. Is this a big book? Is there a lot of hype behind it? Is this done by a famous author?

We've had basically infinite books before now as well, and will have infinite more. There's nothing new under the sun, I don't see any way this is special.

I sure hope nobody uses this illegally! That would be bad!

It all depends on where you look.

I'm always up for trying it.

Honestly it's not super relevant and easy to pick up on, but, yeah, there are flashbacks.

Pro tip: attack.

Western or Eastern?

Just woke up and saw it, thanks a lot! Going to jam it right now.

No.

Holy crap this is a lot, I'd like to request cultist simulator.
Not sure how I can show you how much I enjoy lovecraftian horror other than some books that I own, and the fact that I think about this stuff way more than is normal.

Good luck, I hear it's bad.

Oh, cheese platters are mostly for when you have people over or something where you need a grazing table.
It feeds people and gives them something to talk about.

Be thankful and throw 'em out.

Help help, the complex subtly involved in this is too much for someone.

You're right, the president of the united states doesn't know what 30% of the population are saying when it's directly about him.
They've been so incredibly subtle, and the cabinet of the United States President has an intelligence problem where they aren't spying on people enough to understand what .3% of the population are thinking about.

They got him.

Hell yeah, y'all get it.

That's an illusion.

There is no way anybody would be happy spending hard earned pennies on poisonous food that tastes terrible causing them to spend thousands on healthcare and helping to continue the cycle of keeping them poor unless they were caught in some evil genjutsu.

So's beer.

People enjoy what they enjoy, if it doesn't hurt anyone else, don't throw shade.

Yeah, it makes poor people happy.
How dare it.

7am and 8pm, or, 7pm and 8pm?

Twitter has just dragged the internet down.

I've got a big boy job now and making big boy money.

The first one was totally reasonable, I'm sure this one will be too.

I can absolutely turn my brain off long enough to make a million dollars.

I love 'em.

As for favorite song, I'd probably say Denial Revisited right now. I just like the energy of the song.

Probably not.

At least they admit it, which is cool, better than a lot of other companies.

A sexy body pillow

So the question is who the sexy body pillow would be of?

Nope, never did before, don't have it now.

Anyone got any hot pork sub recommendations?
