@raven_brah You forgot that every family was allocated by the state a free flying unicorn. Literally pooped out glitter.
Good times.

Boomers seem to forget that fast food used to be a normal, everyday expense for them because it was affordable. You could get a burger easily on minimum wage, it wasn’t some fancy treat you had once a year as a reward for pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.

@lettuce_isgood It’s not a luxury item.
The heritage grains artisan loaf you want for the same price as the $2 also loaf is.

"make your own bread zoomers"
Yeah let's go back to the 1800s before the invention of SLICED BREAD because BREAD is apparently a luxury item.

@MithrasSoldier Sure you can. 50lb flour - $20 for 45 loaves. That's 50 cents per loaf, or about 2c/slice 5 dozen eggs - $10. That's 16 cents per egg. Let's use 3. Mayo, mustard, etc - $3/jar, enough for a month. 50 cents for a deluxe egg salad sando better than restaurant quality

@feddyslop @nosoup4knowles It could always be worse and it could always be better, but refusing to think sensibly and budget is essentially setting fire to your house because you can afford a new tv.
English
@nosoup4knowles So, in the land of promise and opportunity, our best for our children is to say "it could be worse"?...
English
btw, I never told anyone they could afford a house just by cutting out their daily coffee/Chipotle. I know Gen Z is facing some big obstacles and my heart is with them.
That said, I'm still gonna make fun of any of y'all calling a simple sandwich "prison food" or "poison"

Some reasons why cooking is overwhelming for many:
-They're lazy
-They're too stupid to learn how to cook
-They prefer to moan instead of trying
-They want someone else to do it for them
-They're lazy AND stupid AND whiny AND want someone else to do it for them

Some reasons why cooking is overwhelming for many: -To cook each cuisine requires different base set of spices, staples, etc -Popular recipes often include obscure, expensive ingredients -Purchasing exact item amts often not possible -Utilizing rest of perishable food challenging

@wolviebets @Rarely_Wrong @Senteney @RobProvince I’m a hundred percent certain we used to have a word for people who prepared and delivered meals to someone daily for little recompense?
Servant. That’s it.
English
@wolviebets @Rarely_Wrong @Senteney @RobProvince What people have here is a luxury belief that they should be able to eat daily a different meal form a different cuisine at little cost, and have it delivered to them. Most people in the world are not able or willing to do this.

This is their hidden motivation. They want to be heard. They wanted to be respected elders. That's how they were raised. "Respect your elders."
Now that it's "their turn," they want the youth to blindly follow that rule.
They don't deserve the respect. It's unearned.

@wolviebets Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a millennial or zoomer to listen to solutions to their current problem? Let me tell you.
English
This whole discourse is about a hypothetical person, who can’t cook, and if they do would prefer to buy the individual ingredients once every time they cook. Oh and it must be from a different countries cuisine. And no leftovers. And we don’t have a kitchen. And Tupperware costs money. And no sandwiches.
This hypothetical person is so useless at life basic budgeting or cooking advice is seen as aggressive.

@MrsMagdaBeard Pasta and pesto with shredded pre cooked chicken and maybe some peas is fine.
God people make a deal out of this
English
You can just throw a piece of meat in the airfryer.
I swear some people making cooking this gigantic chore.
Make some scrambled eggs.
Make a 30 minute sheet pan meal.
Boil some pasta.
No one is telling you to butcher the fucking cow.

@JackMac A lot actually! I'm not sure if you've ever worked a double before but you certainly do not have time to make home cooked meals. Not everyone can make #content for Barstool all day then cook a leisurely dinner!!

It’s insane how many people don’t understand that gyms are NOT public places. You can’t just film people. They LITERALLY makes the rules.

@OkieLibSherry @_celia_bedelia_ Why are you on Twitter granny. Im sorry thats mean. And its not weird. Its a fact. You would be surprised how popular kids are.

@go_diego_go34 But she’ll feel superior about it because she ‘doesn’t watch porn’
English
Being mad at someone watching porn but having a secret partner while simultaneously having a crush on your boyfriend’s friend is a wild double standard.

I love that more and more women are calling out their boyfriends for watching that misogynistic trash 🙂↕️
English
@pinkbarbiebrush @treasonoustris The second sentence kind of debunks the first.
English
@treasonoustris Most sex toys for women don't even resemble men's anatomy. At most, they're only cocks. There's no point of comparing a dildo with a 4'8'' sex doll, because there, you are not just replacing a function, you are trying to replace a person altogether.
English
okay i really wasn't wanting to do this and be annoying but can i point out why its misandry again for the same reason that girls buying sex toys is seen as empowering and sexually liberating but guys buying sex toys is seen as perverse and sad. so is this porn thing. misandry.

@Mr_Andrew_Fox And just like that, interest in the Paras and 16AA shoots up.

My goodness, but 16 Brigade have absolutely smashed the messaging side of this op. A masterclass; kudos.

@jacklarsonok @ran1mal @MetamateDaz I mean, if you’re going to complain about it at least read what it is you’re complaining about.
English
@jacklarsonok @ran1mal @MetamateDaz Pretty sure it’s a direct result of the ‘American empire’ launching a unilateral campaign against Iran then bitching when NATO, a defensive alliance, doesn’t come to help them out when they realise they fucked it.
English
@AleyckTW @AalbertMonna @ran1mal @MetamateDaz There was no toll before the recent operation. You know, the one where they mined the strait and your genius of a Defsec moved your remaining sweepers to a scrapyard m?
Nice try though.

@baxter_daniel @AalbertMonna @ran1mal @MetamateDaz Oh, to be tolled by a state the supports islamic terror groups.
You're a cuck.

@baxter_daniel @ran1mal @MetamateDaz It was open, in a way.
It was held open as long as no one got in their way.
Is that "open" to you?

@AalbertMonna @ran1mal @MetamateDaz You are the guys who claimed it,
So this seems like a bit of a self own

@AalbertMonna @ran1mal @MetamateDaz The strait was open.
TACO Trumps’ deal looks an awful lot like the one Obama had already brokered.
I thought the last raid destroyed all the enrichment facilities?

@baxter_daniel @ran1mal @MetamateDaz You mean the straight terror regime that kills its own people and uses straight to try and get nukes, thinking no one was going to do anything about it?
