@loganrobinson @GroovySciFi @pepemonizzo1 There are different levels to gas stations, where I live fresh food of any quality level was very rare until like maybe a few years ago, and its still hit or miss outside the city centers.
English
@LizardNettle @GroovySciFi @pepemonizzo1 Buddy, it's boiled eggs, mayo, and bread. It's made fresh daily. If you think a 7-11 logo somehow removes all the nutrition then make it yourself at home but about a million zoomers on Twitter have insisted this week that they couldn't possibly make their own sandwich.
English
This expensive lunch discourse is another interesting EU-USA split. Here in Italy larger supermarkets have a counter where you can buy a hot sandwich for about €3 euros. Italians eat out frequently and it's not a huge deal.

If I ever make $71k a year I wouldn’t tell anyone but there will be signs

@impossible_eng @Crime_Penguin All cars are expensive now. If it runs once its 2K or more.
English
@Crime_Penguin Nonsense. Old used cars and trucks are insanely expensive. The market is speaking.

Stated vs revealed preferences. Talk to any car salesman and they’ll tell you people love Apple CarPlay, 360 cameras, blind spot detection, etc. People repost stuff like this all day, nobody calls their Congressman and asks for the federal backup-camera mandate to be repealed.

this is why online racing in general sucks and always should have a no collision rule, even if it takes away from the immersion.

@lordvictor What are you talking about weve been trying to make convincing butter substitutes for decades. This very much is a problem which has existed.
English
Why would you grow something in a "lab" when you can just go outside and squeeze it out of a cow?
Solutions in search of a problem to solve.

Bill Gates' lab-made butter is expected to reach supermarket shelves by 2027. "It looks, smells, and tastes like the butter we're all familiar with, but without the farmland, fertilisers, or emissions." Bill Gates: "The idea of switching to lab-made fats and oils may seem strange at first, but their potential to significantly reduce our carbon footprint is immense." "This is really about how we feed our species and heal our planet at the same time." No Bill, this is really about phasing out agriculture and seizing control of the global food supply, as a way of controlling the global population.

@loganrobinson @GroovySciFi @pepemonizzo1 It will keep you alive in the technical sense, but that is about it
English
@loganrobinson @GroovySciFi @pepemonizzo1 American gas stations dont sell food, they sell calories. The food there has virtually no value.

@The_Holy_Sea @ChadNotChud Im choosing to beleive ots the sirface, otherwise its just instant death
English
@ChadNotChud Notably this doesnt specify that you will always be teleported to the surface of the ocean. And there is a lot of ocean at depths that would kill you in 30 seconds
English
The ocean is so big that it seems pretty unlikely you end up somewhere very dangerous.
Doesn’t seem like there’s a lot that could kill you in 30 seconds? Even drowning. (I guess getting bashed into rocks, but surely this is vanishingly unlikely. There’s just not that much coast)

So are you taking this deal?

@RationalOpp @battlehateharm All of the farms where I live have tree lines because its obviously sensible

@battlehateharm It's hard to feed millions of people with hedgerows and tree lines to deal with. But you're welcome to farm your way if you like.

@huninn1 @Zacbunchanumbrs Highly depends on what ingredients youre using as well I suppose, but in any area ive been ive never had problems putting together sub 10 dollar meals, especially when cooking for groups.
English
No, lunch does not cost $28. You want something cheap and fast? McDonalds, you can get 800 calories for $6. Want something healthy and cheap? Make it from home. You should not be spending $28 on food for a day, let alone a meal, at $70,000 a year.
Sean Padraig McCarthy@SeanMcCarthyCom
Lunch just costs $28 now. Are they not supposed to eat?

@skunky @DHuskytron I have access to a public library.
Also yeah I read on my devices sometimes its a good option.
English
Physical books in 2026 are for people who don't actually read. They are for people that pretend to read. If I had access to a Kindle paper white with its inventory/space utilization capability, perfect adjustable backlight and font settings as a kid in the 80s I would've been in heaven. Now I read 3 - 5 books every week and I don't have to maintain a physical inventory that would overwhelm my home. There is just no comparison in terms of access and value.

@SamuelSage77 @RudeJackalope @_space_punk_ Most peoples problems are rational problems that cannot just be thought away
Like these days being stressed about finances isnt illogical, it actually makes a lot of sense.
English
@RudeJackalope @_space_punk_ Counter intuitive is what you need. You feel badly, you need to do something you wouldn’t think of doing yourself in order to change that. When you’re in an irrational state of mind, you will think your problems are rational. They’re not. Everything is just your perception
English
CBT is genuinely actively harmful for people with genuine mental health issues (like trauma) beyond "idk sometimes I feel sad"
The thing about trauma is it is *highly logical*, so telling someone whos been punched in the face everytime they've seen a red balloon that its not logical to brace for being punched in the face every time they see a red balloon is not at all helpful

CBT seems like the dumbest most useless therapy technique ever invented until you meet the kind of person CBT was designed for
English
@skunky @DHuskytron Physical books are a superior reading experience, and its incredibly obvious
English
@DHuskytron Why are we still funding libraries when paper books are ridiculously antiquated and a detriment to the environment? All my kids and their friends use a device to read with the more voracious readers using Kobo or Kindle. Is this just so the "adults" can wallow in nostalgia?

English
@d0gm0t1f @Purrl471 @AnonUnicorny Why do you disagree? I've never heard y'all be used to refer to one person but maybe it's different in other places
English
@huninn1 @Zacbunchanumbrs Maybe if you do none of the cooking yourself, but thats genuinely a comically high price for a single meal. Most meals should come out to sub 5-10 dollars per serving.
English
@Zacbunchanumbrs 28 sounds a bit much - but it isnt far off.
If you want semi-healthy food, you're looking at 20ish a meal nowadays.
If you want cheaper, you're looking at uni-level dood prep like chicken and rice.
This talk for 70k a year is wild btw

FYI: collapsible batons are much cheaper than guns, don’t need licensure and are a lot less of an escalation simply to draw but are scary enough to deter and extend your reach by >1’ if not. I got my Smith & Wesson for $50. Break their legs and run! (Check legality in your area.)

@SeafoamVenusian @capstellium I dont think its insane to expect people to add water to a dry pancake / waffle mix
If you cant do that genuinely you cannot feed yourself

@capstellium Lmao its insane to expect people to make everything from scratch

obviously grocery prices are out of control but at the same time i feel like people suck at shopping
Parker@DagnyTaggartUSA
One week of groceries for a family. Nothing extravagant. Just the bare bones in a blue state. I stay home. My husband only leaves the house to work. We have cancelled vacations. Taken our children out of extracurricular activities. Cancelled our gym membership’s. We do not go out to restaurants frequently. I’m wearing the same old clothes that I have for years and I need socks and underwear, but that will have to, I guess, never happen. @RFKJr_Official @POTUS @JDVance HELP!
English
@KurouPS4 @TerraDraca @ShitpostRock2 This is absolutely a factor. 5e is faster if everyone is actually keeping track of their shit, if theyre not then you have to sit there and watch them look up 3 rules for 5 minutes while everyone else doomscrolls.
close to establishing a turn time limit in my irl games honestly
English
@TerraDraca @ShitpostRock2 Different strokes for different folks, I guess. In my experience, that's not the case. It was also a hell of a lot faster because people weren't sitting there for ten minutes every turn to figure out what their feats did.

It's because TVs aren't subsidized by the government.
The reason Doritos are so expensive is because, up until recently, people on welfare could get them with SNAP, so PepsiCo could charge whatever they wanted and had no reason to care whether or not you could afford it because their primary clientele were people who were using your tax dollars to buy them. You pay more because someone else is getting it for "free", and by "free", I mean you're paying for it with your taxes.
Since the government doesn't buy TVs for people (with your money), TV manufacturers have to price competitively, hence the low TV prices.
Jum@JesterJum
While the price of virtually everything else skyrockets, the price of TVs remain weirdly low. Its almost like they don't want to price people out of the ability to be distracted, manipulated, and controlled. Anyone else notice that? Or is it just me?
English
@Y40IFRQTTING Is it a left wing delusion that the only barrier is land speculation, not government regulation?
English
It is a right wing delusion that these kits, or tiny houses, or refurbished shipping containers, or 3D printing will solve the housing crisis. We already have the means to cheaply build a ton of high quality housing. The only barrier is the speculation of land itself.
