I’ve eaten crickets. Just not this dish. The ones from the pet store taste bad.

And the rest is farmed here by undocumented workers.
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 month ago:
Honestly if you think about it. The cost of your meal going up and the cost of tipping are not different in their end result for the consumer.
The employee still gets the short end because people won’t always tip. Or even show up.
The owner gets the long (?) end because they don’t have to pay their workers a higher wage (very bad if it’s a slow day) and the customers who otherwise wouldn’t have eaten there if the prices were high will still eat there and not tip.
So it really doesn’t effect the consumer at all but it does effect the employee quite a bit for sure.
- Comment on Can Trump pardon himself even though he did criminal stuff outside of office? 1 month ago:
He can obviously do whatever the fuck he wants. This unfortunately isn’t even a reasonable question to be asking at this point.
- Comment on Dear Americans, be prepare to get screwed! 1 month ago:
The US is at least 40 years removed from any kind of real electronics manufacturing at scale.
This kind of think takes generation knowledge to get right and we outsourced that knowledge a long time ago.
We are now several generations from being able to manufacture electronics on the level.
Either trump has no idea how anything works or he’s actively trying to destroy the American economy.

Companies will never be able to stop this,
If they have their way they will. All the tech bros are pushing for trusted computing platforms.
Imagine a world where most/all computers are as locked down as an iPad. That’s what they seem to want.

Realistically with the new apple M-series stuff this is just not the case. The battery life is absolutely nuts. Especially compared to high end Linux laptops.

The ketchup company obviously paid for this skit.

But this certainly is. They wouldn’t be showing the label like that if the skit wasn’t sponsored by the ketchup company.

This is an ad.
