Your 9-5, your cute little home, your reliable car, and your healthy family are enough. Don't let social media tell you otherwise. Beauty can be found in the mundane.

@ifiwasrichard To be fair, it is still the Great Depression here.

so they’re still eating like it’s the Great Depression

@ConservativeG99 It’s like he was allowed online for the first time and realised his dad was a detested loser pedophile.

Yeah...it's not just that he gained some weight, it also looks like his soul is getting depleted or something.

@BoLoudon Notice how the cross doesn't touch her skin, lest it burn her.

Wow. First Lady Melania Trump is wearing a cross necklace honoring Jesus Christ at the White House UFC event tonight. God bless the Trump family.🙏

@elonmusk Mate, what do you think Palantir wants to do?

This censorship law is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone.

@Pnut42045 @ifiwasrichard Go have some ivermectin and a nap.

@wormhellscape @ifiwasrichard I can say the same about our houses, but thats not what this conversation is about. Its about cheese, and how ours is superior to any of that "european" stuff

the european mind cannot comprehend the cheese we make in Wisconsin

@uncledoomer We literally don’t. It’s just a sandwich you find in some pubs that don’t do hot food typically. We aren’t hankering for the slab on the reg.

the brits keep trying to say that its the most amazing thing on earth. its cheese and onion on untoasted bread. its an unfinished sandwich. those are good things in a vacuum but its like they gave up making a good sandwich halfway through. the brits' standards are on the floor

@CountHaunted @ParisPhl Then explain your point more clearly, so I can understand. Use some simple words to help me.

@wormhellscape @ParisPhl If you think that’s what I said then sure. I don’t argue with illiterate people.

England does not have high quality ingredients, you barely have fresh vegetables

@Pnut42045 @ifiwasrichard Such a weird thing to say. Like…sorry we like bricks, sir. God forbid we stay dry thanks to a robust invention.

@wormhellscape @ifiwasrichard Im sure you would know all about brick dust since europoors seem to worship bricks like gods

@CountHaunted @ParisPhl Of course not. It no longer matters where they are from. They grow abundantly here thanks to globalisation over many hundreds of years. You think you have some inherent claim on them because you were born on some land that indigenous people cultivated for thousands of years?

@wormhellscape @ParisPhl Tomatoes, corn, and potatoes are from the americas. Rhubarb is from Asia, Asparagus from Greece. Do you think you’re the only ones to eat them?

@mary_pezzulo It’s literally just a quick pub snack - this is not food people are eating regularly and craving. It’s to encourage people to drink more.

Cheese and bread universal. No one is mocking you for eating cheese and bread. It's just the photo of cloying white cheese with raw onion and bread and *shudder* salad cream, foisted on us as a delicacy that the silly yanks who eat cooked food can't possibly understand.

@Pnut42045 @ifiwasrichard Apologies. I said 2 to be hyperbolic. I should have said 4 types of cheese, most a variety with flavourings and then some cursed “brick cheese” which I refused to even mentally absorb further. Possibly cheddar flavoured with brick dust?

@wormhellscape @ifiwasrichard Invented the English language and then forgot how to use it

@chefsevenn Sausage sizzle

Is it ever acceptable to use Bread as a hot dog bun?

@rxttlesnake Vinegary mayo. It’s not good.

hey big dawg what the holy fuck is salad cream

@RealBrittHughes Nah we know you also have American cheese, sharp cheddar, velvetta, provolone, mozzarella and…Monterey jack. That’s it tho.

Apparently British people think America doesn’t have cheese outside of a can?

@iqrafatma1278 Can’t hurt to wash them. Might hurt not to. Beans aren’t typically washed, but are probably treated and passed through machines that filter out ones of variable quality and size. I usually just soak them and that also counts as the washing.

I was getting ready to cook dinner tonight when my roommate and I somehow ended up having a debate over something I thought everyone did. I had just opened a bag of beans and was about to rinse them before cooking when she stopped me and asked why I was bothering. According to her, there's no reason to wash them because they came sealed in a bag from the store. She said they're already clean and ready to cook, and that rinsing them is just an unnecessary extra step. I honestly thought she was joking at first, but she was completely serious. Apparently, she's been cooking them straight from the bag for years and has never had a problem. Meanwhile, I've always rinsed beans before cooking. I don't even remember who taught me to do it, but it's just something I've done for as long as I can remember. To me, it feels strange not to. It doesn't matter whether they came from a bag, a box, or somewhere else. I just automatically wash them first without thinking about it. The funny thing is that once we started talking about it, we both became convinced the other person was doing it wrong. She looked at me like I was wasting time, and I looked at her like she was skipping an important step. Neither of us could believe the other person's way of doing things. Now I'm curious because I genuinely thought everyone rinsed beans before cooking. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe my roommate is right. Or maybe this is one of those things people grow up doing differently and never realize until someone points it out. At this point, dinner has become less interesting than the argument itself. We've both asked a few people, and so far the answers have been completely split. Some say they always wash them. Others say they never have. So now I need to know. Do you wash beans before cooking them, or do you just pour them straight from the bag into the pot? 🤔

@mary_pezzulo Vinegary mayo, essentially. It’s the marmite of condiments. I’d avoid it.

I have no idea what "salad cream" is and it's giving me anxiety.

@spenley It’s mostly grass right now, and some trees, who disperse seed via air on their fluff.

So what plant is releasing its pollen/spores late afternoons for the last couple of weeks that's giving me such bad hay-fever?
