This is about instagram/facebook/ticktok demonitizing for sex/drugs/violence/harm because advertisers won’t put their money behind that for fear of a religious call to cancel.
Sadly, we’re just getting thriftstore memes.

That’s actually the key, this was posted in a NJ hotel. (it’s old Reddit but i was there when the bombs dropped)
They’re worried about locals renting a room to defile trying to keep stuff out of their house.

For us, we use slack huddles when there will be too much back and forth. 30 second audio call, supports screen sharing.

The best part, is it was a New Jerseyan that made it.

The immediate interruption is good for management, but bad for the company overall.
That’s why we still have Jira/email.
Critical importance: slack/in person
Can wait but important: high importance email, P1 Jira
Not important: Low impotance email, P2 Jira

Getting answers for questions have turned from 5 minute thing to 10-40 minute things.
That’s an administration problem. Sure people are busy, in meetings or at lunch. But if someone is always 40m away from answering a work slack/chat they’re a candidate for replacement.

It works better for some people/orgs than others. My company worked in a Google Meet for 6 hours yesterday in a war room, cracking jokes, socializing, with most cameras off, mostly just voice chat and the occasional screen share. We got the job done, we had fun, and people came and went. The cool part was that we had different disciplines together that wouldn’t sit together. Shit, we had people in 4 different time zones, not even all on the same continent.
Now it’s the next day… do I want to do it again today? No. I’m an introvert and I’m all out of spoons. But the next thing? sure!
AND I saved 1.5 hours of commute and 60 miles of gas/tires/oil

I feel like this might be an American problem
Fast Food Nation, the paper/plastic cups are flimsy and need a lid for structure.
We get so used to it that when we eat out, we want straws.
I’ve never really cared. IF they bring wrapped straws, i’ll generally not open it and stash it in my car for the next time a fast food straw breaks. If it’s open, I use it because it seems more of a waste to throw it away unused.
There probably is some decent point to the server groping all over the outside of your glass or the dishwasher handling it, but i’m not really a germophobe.

It’s messy AF
Guys are afraid of rejection, but also not great at making themselves more appealing candidates. That whole woman chooses the bear thing is real, even if, in general, we’re not worse than the bear.
From the woman’s standpoint, if they let the guy in and get knocked up, they might end up having to raise the kid and maybe deal with some asshole for 20 years. Statistically, they have more to lose.
It’s even harder when you’re young because you don’t want someone with kids, or issues, or baggage, but then being uncharismatic and mediocre is seriously underrated baggage.
We need male boot camps for loneliness with counselors and coaches. Help people work on their empathy, see what the other side sees and figure out how to work toward improvement to the point where they can find what they’re looking for.

Also if you don’t like mushrooms because of the texture,
I think mushrooms get a bad rap. People talk about the dirt they’re in being grown in feces, like it’s any different than every other crop that’s grown. Potatoes are grown up close and personal in soil too and soil isn’t clean :)
We might find there’s a flavor component like cilantro that some can taste. Or maybe they just don’t like the idea of the grown in soil and hard to clean, or maybe they don’t like that we’re eating the repuductive organs.
my brother-in-law hates them, but loves my mashed potato dish that loaded down. I just reduce mushrooms, garlic, and onions in butter until they’re about to start to get firm then blitz them to slightly chunky gravy, stir that back into refrigerated looosely smashed potatoes, with some soft butter and a little chicken bone broth. When i’m done the flavor is still there, but it’s a background note to the potato/butter/chicken

Still a fun observation in relation to mushrooms.

I’d like to see the fruit chunked into smaller bits, a little think/charred red onion, some matchstick peppers, oregano and basil, maybe a light grate of lime zest.

I think if you ask 100 Americans, they will overwhelmingly be down on HFCS.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone that’s tried coke with cane sugar and doesn’t say that it’s better than regular cook.
Everybody I know that drinks Coke thinks that Mexican Coke is superior, but is hard to get in a lot more expensive.
There’s a pretty significant campaign against it.

JackFM, runs a radio station 24x7, 365, on about 300 songs.
The real trick is making playlists that repeat properly. You need a couple of bangers and then a bunch of supporting stuff that was good, but isn’t ear warm worthy, matching beats and genre then flow into the next selection set.

So… cool story
Ann Reardon from How to Cook That, took Coke, and tested it for HFCS, it of course indicated it was in there, then she took a Mexican Coke, and it also indicated, but it claims not to use it.
Apparently, the acid in the Coke breaks down the sucrose in the cane sugar, making the product very close to the HFCS variant. She followed up with a blind taste test (very limited size, just her family) and found they were very close in flavor.
It would appear that we do to some decent extent enjoy HFCS.

If all drinking did was limit inhibition, but it also clouds your judgment and slows your reflexes. Some people cannot think things all the way through when intoxicated.

I want a car that has a rear windscreen
Me too, I’ve given this a lot of thought. I think you’d need a small computer, a camera and essentially a gimbal to move a mirror. It wouldn’t be hard to infer where the drivers eyes are based on how high up the headlights originated, you could even just do a figure eight around where you think the eyes would be.
The real problem is, if they hit you, and the cops look at what you have there, you’ll likely be found at fault.
