I live in Hawai’i and we have both Daiso and Japan style 7-Eleven. Food is excellent there.

Oh yeah? Well where I live I can drive for a solid 24 hours and never leave my county.
Because I live on O’ahu and I’d be driving in circles (or sitting in rush hour traffic coming from Westside into town, yeah)

I was once a dairy clerk and I misread this as people reaching for the “black milk” and for a moment I thought someone knew about the black milk.

When I was younger, I once convinced a friend of mine that he, a sixteen year old, could be arrested for sex with a minor if he slept with one of his classmates and the cops found out. I still crack up over his bugged out eyes.

I… think there’s something else going on there, yo. I eat the dairy free ice cream and I’ve never had what you describe. Tbf, my lactose intolerance is fairly mild (no milk or cream; butter and cheese even Greek yogurt is fine). But maybe you’ve a sensitivity to some other ingredient?

I remember back when Cracked was good a writer doing a number of articles aiming to dispel the “mystique” of the Nazis as some sort of genius-level evil and expose their incompetence. Iirc, documents have shown that the Nazis would’ve imploded on their own due to their own idiocy.
Growing up I heard all this “the German people are the smartest people in the world and Hitler was able to pursuade them through his charisma to create this insurmountable enemy that we were blessed and lucky to defeat…” Hitler won mostly through election interference and their own bloviating stupidity was a key factor in their downfall. Fascists are stupid. Deadly and dangerous, yes. But ultimately really stupid and we need to not allow any mystique saying otherwise to crop up. Fascism always fails. It hurts a lot of people in the meantime. But it will always fail.

Our local Costco used to have a scanner gun at the self-checkout. I used to be a grocery cashier who prided himself on how quickly he could scan someone’s purchase. So I’d arrange my cart of stuff (for a household of six) in such a way that made scanning efficient. Then one day I get there and the scanner is gone. If I have to remove every single item from my cart I might as well use the conventional check-out because now self-checkout is far less efficient for me.

They should make a Riker show but the whole thing is done with marionettes as a beautiful testament to irony.

It’s basically applying the cheese making process to soy milk, yeah? So I’m thinking that, theoretically, you could attempt the same with like almond milk or something. Peanuts and soy seem to have a similar texture, I wonder if you could make like peanut milk and then turn that into a tofu like thing?

I know that some jobs require people to have read receipts, but I cannot fathom any reason why anyone would choose this of their own volition. If for no other reason than I imagine text spammers use it to figure out if a number is “active.”

Them never actually landing on Earth frustrates me. Honestly, I kinda wish they’d gotten home sooner so that we could have some time seeing them adjust to life back on Earth/Vulcan/wherever.

“We are perfection.” You sure about that? Your guys shamble about, instead of adding appendages you remove them, there are loose cables everywhere that catch on everything, and your ships CLEARLY have inefficient use of space if a Galaxy-class starship is capable of maneuvering inside of it.

- Comment on Fucking HATE this smug sack of shit. 4 weeks ago:
Look at Mr Darcyshire here, dressing above his station. He’s adorned like a gentleman about to take a ride on one of his stallions, but given that he’s holding a tray with bagels on it, he’s clearly a footman from downstairs. Is this fancy dress? Some remnant medieval festival kept alive by the local Duke that allows for lessers to don the costume of their betters for a day? I dare say, this man is risking the upending of the God-ordained social hierarchy and liable to induce chaos in the country. Perhaps the cities, with their more lenient morality, can abide such broaching of etiquette and class. But no country gentleman would ferry a tray of pre-packaged bagels and no footman with any sort of conscience would make a mockery of the aristocracy that provides his bread and board.
harumphing and monocle adjusting continues

- Comment on I will never understand how brain rot got it's way to Mastodon 1 month ago:
I’ve noticed a sharp increase in just GARBAGE re-toots (which wind up on the trending page) in the past year or so as more people migrate to Mastodon. Just the worst of Twitter offal finding new life. The trending page is where I get a bit disheartened. When I want to be reminded of what Mastodon is really like, I just click on the Federated tab and see all the random posts from normal people (and bots, so many bots) around the world. Way less snark and self-importance there.
It’s also one of the reasons I was disheartened that .social removed access to the Federated and Local tabs (I got them back by making a complaint–I’ll eventually migrate to a smaller instance). I get that it’s crazy hard to moderate those. But taking that away made Mastodon feel smaller and more like “every other social media.” I don’t want that. I came to Mastodon because it’s different.

The obsession I have with Trigger…
I love that Willie, a very rich man, still plays THIS guitar and only this guitar. Like, you go to concerts and there’s a guitar tech grabbing different instruments off stage, swapping them out. But ol’ Willie just up there with bus up Trigger looking like she’s about to collapse into splinters. But she produces such a unique sound that no other guitar can match.
- Comment on The rich passing our money back & forth 2 months ago:
It’s almost like that scene in Office Space where the guys are trying to figure out money laundering, looking up the definition in the dictionary. Michel then says “What I don’t understand is how these Neanderthal Mafia guys can be so good at crime and smart guys like us can suck so badly at it.” It’s almost like these tech guys watched that scene and said “yeah!”
- Comment on How do you use the "uno reverse card"? 2 months ago:
I spent a month in Thailand, teaching English in a rural village on the border of Laos. Over the years the Thai teachers had acquired multiple decks of Uno. They merged them into one giant deck and developed some brutal house rules that I still use. They stacked every plus card. So if you put down a +4, the next person could put down a +2, etc. They’d secretly conspire with each other to run a gauntlet of plus cards. I once got in on the action and we went around the circle like three times stacking plus cards. We were targeting my best friend, who was teaching with me. Got like +40 cards or something built up.
Then bro holds up the reverse and that meant the whole plan turned on me. Everyone was roaring with laughter.

The fact that weʻve seen a few MAGA pastors openly say stuff like “Well, Jesusʻ teachings were more applicable in the first century and we have to adapt now” is proof enough that itʻs not Jesus they believe in. I want to see this pushed more and more to get them to finally admit that theyʻre not actually Christians, but are actually like Cartman in the South Park episode where he starts a Christian band (“You donʻt know the first thing about Christianity!” “I know enough to exploit it.”)
- Comment on Literally nobody 2 months ago:
This. I went through a similar thing, but wound up in a different place (grew up in fundie-leaning Southern Baptist world with a pastor that turned out to be a sexual predator and abused people I am close to; decided to revisit the Bible and all that and wound up a priest in the Episcopal Church). Regardless of how folks end up, breaking people free from their control is paramount. If a meme manages to dent the armor, so be it. And if it annoys OP, they can always just mute it and move on. I do it a lot with posts that are openly hostile to my beliefs.

Iʻm no wizard of number words, but I think the declining birth rate there might have something to do with the decades of one-child policy that wound up favoring male children…
