  I don’t use any of these suggestions, but the ones I keep hearing are Quik and Fossify Messages.

  I hate the implication that these pillows actually exist somewhere out in the world.

  We pick a different dish every year for our main.

  That sounds actually awesome.

  It was fantasticly coffee

  I have no idea what that means, but it still sounds pretty good.

  Try telling that to your mother who’s been handling the turkey for decades.

  You get what you get and you either like it or you shut up and pretend that you do, because that’s your mum and she’s tired and hasn’t seen you in weeks and turkey is always a little dry, trust me I know, I’ve been doing this since before you were born, eat it with some cranberry sauce, have you seen your cous…

  I can and have cooked turkey for myself.

  **I have "won" at turkey.**

  When I lived on my own and worked in the restaurant industry, I took it as a point of pride to figure out how to do it well. I tried brines, but found that simple salting and leaving it on the bottom shelf overnight was easier and just as effective. And that cutting it up and sous vide was a more reliable way to get it evenly cooked. And that I could still brown the skin on a cast iron pan in high heat afterwards.

  And then decided it wasn’t worth it. Not when I can cook a chicken, a duck, and a Cornish hen for half the effort.

  Nowadays, I don’t even do that much.

  I support your right to love turkey at any level of doneness.

  I should have specified that it’s not worth it to families (or grocery store employees) to collectively pressure everyone in the country to buy a turkey during the same one-week period.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your sides should be thrown away, your turkey should be frozen or almost gone.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Rather than all of that stress, I’d rather we collectively agree that it’s just not worth it.

  Cook smaller poultry.

  It’s easier to cook evenly and it usually tastes better anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your sides should be thrown away, your turkey should be frozen or almost gone.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is because the turkey is always so dry.

  Even if Selfridge’s entire existence were a collective fever dream*, the “full quote” is the better quote.

  I can’t imagine anyone who has worked in direct sales, at any amount of money, who genuinely believes “the customer is always right” is more correct of a saying without “in matters of taste”.

  If everyone born before 1925 was a fever dream, it changes literally nothing about the state of the world today.

  Can you carry over the posts and comments to the new community?

  If the community has to start over from zero, that can be a huge loss.

  It’s just not the same, even if they both have “ant” in the name.

  SimAnt is a sim where you writhe in burning agony while the spider’s deadly venom flows through your body.

  Microsoft Ants wasa sweaty online PvP RTS two years before StarCraft was even born.
