omfg. I randomly was at white spot the other day because of people that actually like the food there somewhow, and the old guys at the table behind us were literally this. I find most people uncomfortable to be around, but damn can it ever be worse.

wtf it was real?

I don’t really see being poor as a tradition. I’ve seen enough people present racism as a tradititon and I don’t like that either. My dad has been facebook’d and keeps wanting to do ancient medicines because “the government took them away from us”, and has asked where to get some definitely dangerous substances. There are indeed a lot of things people call tradition that I don’t like.

I don’t think changing a couple ingredients breaks tradition when most old recipes were just throwing whatever we had together and trying to make it at least minimally enjoyable for bonus points. I guess it’s different for wealthy people in the past much like it is now, but if it could be improved cheaply or for free when it was new either due to ingredients or skills and knowledge, everyone would have done it. Some things were probably also just good enough that nobody bothered changing it, but now most people are conditioned to really high sugar and salt or just stronger flavour in general.

Actually one of my time travel fantasy wishes is to see people in the last eat the modern versions of their favourite food. I’d feel bad about shocking their systems with large doses (to them) of microplastics, pesticides, and who knows what else though.

the worst is when people are like this for a dish that was invented as a way to use the shitty limited ingredients of the area because everyone was poor and that’s all they had back then. That’s not even tradition. Or slightly less annoying is when people try your traditional dish from the country your family comes from and say its not correct in some way, but they are from one of the 6 neighboring countries with pretty much the same food but the name is spelled slightly different and have regional plants as seasoning instead.

I used to ask my parents if we could stop by whatever poutine serving restaurant for a Vladimir when one was nearby. It took like 8 times for them to understand what I was asking for.

dunno about now but back in the day if you used the tracking card and dumped all your money into the casinos they would comp hotel rooms. I had many stays in vegas as a kid. There’s some stuff for kids to do but there are definitely way better trips to go on. Vegas felt like I went back to my childhood home when I came back at drinking age. Enough stuff changed by the following trip that it has lessened though.

long nails and peeling the film off the label side…

birds fucking is aww?

I somewhat like it but could also never use it. My eyes would disown me.

I’m still too used to reddit I guess. I clicked to see in the comments why this is actually a bad thing but at the time of writting this nobody made any such suggestions.

man. the amount of erased shit that seems just as fucked.

I needed this to save my stressful week. thank you.

what is this, a crossover episode?

you can’t just post an obvious rhyme and not tell us the wrong alternative

gideon turned out to be such a disappointing nobody though

this took me way too long to understand

No idea but probably not enough to be good enough for food safety inspectors, or my own fear of any kind of microbe, contaminant, or filth.
