I have only tried one brand of plant-based nuggets and sometimes make my own meat substitutes from tofu and TVP (textured vegetable protein). Eating it by itself, it’s not quite meat-passing in terms of texture, but the flavor is close if seasoned correctly. When it’s used as a part of other dishes, the taste becomes more convincing. You get used to the taste after you stop eating meat for a while.

I will never stop finding the video of the Borat Kazakhstan anthem accidentally playing at a medal ceremony funny. Link

Up front, huh? 🤔 what I’m hearing is that we need an iBooty to act as a counterweight.

Honestly a bargain considering how much speakerless breast implants cost. Do they come in subwoofer?

It’s like the mullet of remote work: business on top (suit), party on the bottom (underwear or sweatpants if it’s cold).

Edit: I overlooked that he’s in a cubicle but my point still stands (sits?).

Not sure how your takeaway from that was “just choose a better job” unless you’re digging for something to be upset about.

I am advocating for employers offering salaries that can cover workers’ essential needs, including their own individual transportation needs, rather than reimbursing only people whose jobs have the possibility of being done remotely, OR having reimbursement available to everyone. That, and the more affordable option of public transportation becoming more accessible.

Optimization was never the goal. It just has to function well enough for a sufficient portion of the species to reproduce.

Accepting an onsite job, regardless of whether it can be performed at home or not, places the responsibility on you to be able to commute there, and it wouldn’t be fair to compensate only office workers for their commute time when other workers face the same risks while traveling. I’d rather have reliable public transportation and fair salaries relative to costs of living.

While I agree that smartphone addiction is a real problem that should be addressed…

The article says “There will be no penalties for breaking the rule”, that it will not be strictly enforced, and that “Smartphone use during non-leisure activities, such as watching videos while cooking or exercising, online learning and practicing for an e-sports tournament, will not count towards the two hours”.

That doesn’t make the rule very effective. Even if you wanted to enforce it by collecting everyone’s usage data, users would have to somehow justify that they were using their phones for non-leisure purposes, which seems quite impractical.

Is the fursuit really necessary for the procedure, doc?

For my next birthday I want a lobotomy.

Relief that the stomach pain has passed.

I’ve noticed people checking me out but I think those were general glances and not directed at one particular area. Then again, when I’m at the gym with my music on, I pay no attention to what others are doing unless we’re directly in each other’s way.

I like hearing about their experiences and perspectives, they are more likely to know what they want and be straightforward, we’re more likely to have similar tastes in music and media. Physically I find myself attracted to men in their 40s and 50s most.

I don’t go out braless. I have a few gym leggings that give me major camel toe and while I don’t like it, I’m not about to change my wardrobe because of it either lol.

Yep. I have a strong preference for older partners.

I have almost always exclusively cooked at home, both for myself and family. There is a very small selection of restaurants and cuisines where I live and I can make most things cheaper, healthier, and just as good or better than what I get from eating out. The only real benefit I get from it is not having to cook or clean up afterwards when I need a break.

Someone’s BDSM session is about to reach new heights.

Infrastructure is a domestic problem. Software is global.

From what I understand, the US had poor transit infrastructure because of a combination of having most of the population scattered across a few metropolitan areas within a huge territory, problems with funding because transit-related decisions are made at a local instead of federal level, cheap gas (compared to the rest of the world), and lobbying from the automobile industry.

The culture in the US encourages, or at least encouraged, entrepreneurship. It invested heavily in software research and development since the beginning and had access to brilliant minds from around the world to contribute to that, and they had the advantage of early entry to that market.

Software affects the world beyond the US, and it follows that there is more profit to be made there than from investment in transit infrastructure. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong or missing any points.

They always seem to get distracted when the best part is coming up too. Same when you’re listening to a song you like.
