I have had several male partners for whom that was part of their story, and they were all so, so hurt by it.

Shame on you, you coward. Stand for something, or what was the past month-plus about? A promise of a vote is not worth caving for.

I bought a condo in 2005 and sold it in 2007 just after 3 units in my building had been auctioned off for non-payment of mortgages. I'm gonna die mad about it too.

Oh how interesting! I thought he was quite good and the choice of an actor who uses a chair was one I hadn't considered. But I love a picky Beckett fan.

I'm interested in providing info if you really aren't sure how this system works, but if not, that's fine. Enjoy the film. I'll likely watch it later myself.

FFS Bluesky just signed me out while I was adding to multi-post thread on "fast food is good, actually" and I don't have the energy to re-create it. Main point though: The base of the Satter Food Needs Hierarchy is "enough food," followed by "acceptable food." Fast food often meets those needs.

If you want to actually talk about the wellness industry and the long racist, sexist, and capitalist industry behind healthism and fatphobia, we can do that, but only if you're going to be having a conversation and not just saying "no it isn't" and "just eat veggies."

The rhetoric of wellness is DEEPLY tied into products and services. "Just eat veggies"? No, you need a salad spinner, a juicer, a spiralizer, a fancy blender, some "tonics" and "dusts" to go in your smoothie, you need ionized water, no infused water, no functional water, no a Hydroflask....

Economies of scale. Loss-leaders. And they're not nearly as cheap as they used to be in many places, sadly.

ooh I've done this for stuff I don't like, but haven't considered it as a temp fix for a borked algo! Must consider. It would be nice if they had a "snooze this track for (period of time) option" or "exclude this from my mixes" too. Perhaps I'll send in some suggestions.

Right? I adore 🎃 novelty songs, for about a two-week period from mid-October right up through 🎃 night. But only then, and only as part of a playlist that has literally 100s of songs so I don't hear them too often.
Here's Tidal not yet getting the memo today. New Bartees Strange album it is.

My "impress roommates and lovers" cheap foods were 1) baked 🍗 with a lime and black pepper marinade (thanks Betty Crocker!) and 2) store brand pasta & red sauce, filled out with as many cheap veggies as I needed to make it stretch for everybody (mostly 🧅 & 🥕 & 🍄, sometimes 🥦 if on sale).

Now and then, I bemoan the loss of the .99/lb chicken wings of my college days. a 4-lb package of those and one of those "oven seasoning bags" and I could impress people at a party (and have something to eat that wasn't just chips all night.)
