A foam is just another texture of a sauce as a garnish, and typically not the main sauce. It’s not as “why was that even food” as people put on. It’s just an easy scapegoat for something different.
Cotton candy is air fluff that melts instantly on your tongue and leaves a bubblegum or artificial cherry taste behind. A foam is a similar thing, just with basil or truffle to compliment a piece of lamb sauced with its jus.
It’s just lazy commentary.
Remember, those CEOs are also all trump sycophant idiots. They’ll artificially lower costs further, to sell the lie, trump admin will make up the difference, and then some, on “lost” profits in tax breaks for the rich. Then, once he can take credit, they’ll start to raise again, blame China or another country for rising prices as they climb back up and surpass current.
That will be the paper plan though, in reality, he’ll lose his focus and just say it out loud halfway through.
A meaningful number of people globally want “revenge” on COVID. They are impotently raging along with the nearest angry person they can attach to. They don’t understand their feelings but they feel generally cheated. Many real issues layered on to, but that’s the motivating foundation.
They also are failed adults that just want a “daddy” to feel like he will make things better or “beat up” problems on their behalf (or more likely just make them feel like that’s happening, regardless of reality).
I don’t think this is trying to teach tens of millions, I think this is a scaled equivalent of me just standing in my kitchen, looking around and saying to nobody, “God damnit… What the fuck!” Before I take a moment to figure out what’s next.
It’s very human. Many had a lot invested in the idea of a better future, that this all might be salvageable. Takes a minute to reckon with the reality here. We’re going to have to replace presidential debates with slap fights and primaries with Jello wrestling. For someone relatively younger with a family that they pictured hopefully supporting to grow to be good people doing good things in the world, just sucks to realize the “support” now means we need to start slapping them in the face as early as possible so that they have the most red and calloused cheeks possible to survive in the world we selfishly forced them into.
Raising someone to be decent today feels like he would be as valuable as raising them to be the best VCR repair person in 2024. You have a severely limited and likely permanently outdated skill set. You might be able to enter a few small rooms where your talent is appreciated and useful, but more often than not you’ll walk around in a broader humanity that has no use for you or those like you.
Your landlord is a republican.
Or more specifically, your landlord is a property management company employed by venture capitalists who you just emboldened to get even shittier. And those VCs are conservatives.
Enjoy your perceived victory against bad old uncle Joe…
As is historically the case in this country
What is your social security number. My dad and I have ours, but wondering how the other half lives?
I see your angle, but it’s not good. This is just the heritage foundation and power hungry around him telling him he needs to go through the process to lay a “defensible” legal path. He says they need to do it, instead of him unilaterally just doing it by decree. So they do it, and if/when challenged up to the Supreme Court, they just say all the boxes were checked, technically legal, moving on.
He’ll do that dance, initially at least, for them to support the “is he being presidential today?!!!” BS narrative that they couldn’t stop drooling over last time. He’ll eventually collapse and regress, but this time when mask comes off all the way (or more like skin peels off of his face, as the mask has been off) he has absolutely nothing left to lose. Things are going to get dark.
If you voted for stein, trump or stayed home…
The hardest thing to accept is that, regardless, good Americans are still going to fight for those in the Muslim community if this administration gets in. You voted for this, indirectly or directly, and they are salivating at the pending opportunity to put you in camps, regardless of your actual background of citizenship, because you “Look foreign!” and that scares them.
How can you be such poor students of (extremely recent) history? I sincerely hope that we don’t see the worst of what’s possible, but make no mistake, you’ve made the wrong bet and very likely voted for your own downfall.
trump and his sycophantic bootlickers denied this asshole immorality as a supreme court justice, back when that actually meant something. The thought was that he’d have a fucking sharpened sword and be ready to enforce justice on behalf of this nation. He had a fucking traitor insurrectionist, on video… and nothing.
He was never the best choice their could have been, but it was promising for a brief moment. And then Garland just fell on his gray, fucking face.
These professional perpetual victims get a whiff of any actual perceived slight against them and they just cum in their little pants don’t they?
In reality, if anything, someone probably said “We know the trump supporters have been threatening FEMA workers, if you don’t feel safe about the houses with trump signs, you don’t need to put yourself in what you feel is a dangerous position. You can skip those homes and we’ll help those people when/if they file with the office”
Wee rnet gunnuh du gohd rhedeng nun morr, hah?
merrick garland is a god damned piece of shit. I hope history remembers that fucking coward as a key part of our nation’s decline. Quietly complicit stooge doing nothing for democracy and going out of his way to send “I’m a little good boy” signals to trump.
Not death… him and at least or one other justice will now willingly “early” retire to sacrifice their seat to a very young and very fucking stupid trump cultist who will sit in that lifetime appointment for the next 40-50 years.
This isn’t just you and I, if there’s still a country at that point, your great, great grandkids will feel the repercussions of this moment.
A whole generation of the kid who stands behind the other kid and says, “YEAH!!!” after the fact and then shrinks away and cowers.
The thing that makes him a shit AG is actually what would have probably made him a decent SCOTUS justice. He’s measured and frightened to show any emotion in his work. He’s also SLOW AS FUCK. These would make him a decent moderate justice for something rising to the level of SCOTUS.
Airtable for me as well. Set myself up a perfect tasks and notes system. Both played so well together, created quick in the moment through a form that flowed to tables. Tables used an Eisenhower matrix to prioritize day to day. Was perfect, I felt so far ahead of my work, felt accomplished each day and then my company was acquired. They won’t let us use aurtable and now I’m just lost and have said fuck it.
New system is to say I’ll do it in the moment, and then see what I can remember each day through nags or context clues left around in open tabs and emails and hope I don’t drop the ball too hard. Fuck big stupid corporate machines that eat good people and shit out temporary shareholder value!!!
US citizens with delicious faces, vote to let all of the face-eating leopards out of cages - now facing uncertain future…
No hope here, but Biden needs to get rid of Garland and put in an AG that might take one last go with some teeth. Won’t happen because they are diluting themselves to believe a status quo will still prevail. The experiment failed.
Garland will go down in history as an unimaginable coward. Enjoy your legacy, you luke warm piece of shit. I hope future generations have enough appreciation for history to piss on your fucking grave.
I might get flagged for spamming this same response everywhere, but snow cone backwards all day, Alex.
