  I’ve never seen one of these, but about 5 years ago I saw a gravy dispenser at a gas station for biscuits & gravy.

  I passed.

  Not since about 1988. Thanks for the memory!

  When it happened to me, Medicaid was a way better solution. The only problem was there was a 2 month delay to get through the oppressive application process. However once activated, it was applied retroactively back to the date I lost my job.

  Wasn’t that Mitt Romney and Trump’s Secretary of the Treasury? (I forget his name.) But I remember him looking like a Bond villain.

  Hot German potato salad is a thing.

  They are lucky and rich, and they mistakenly think that equates to being smart.

  It looks really pathetic.

  I’m ready for some Deadpool and Wolvie action, though.

  I’d probably quit my job, and work as a writer, artist, game designer, and entertainer full time. I’m worried about health care, though, being in the US. Can you throw in a little Medicaid for All in there?

  Yeah that one always tweaks me too. I think it’s a listing battle.

  “Fewer” for things that are countable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sunday SOTD thread - April 14th, 2024⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey there.

  I could use some advice. Here’s my basic SOTD. I got a basic Haggard kit a couple of years ago. I’m still working on the starter razor blades that came with it. I really like the Proraso soap that came with it. I still consider myself a bit of a newbie.

  The alum block is a game changer for me. I wish I had known about that earlier in life!

  But I’m thinking about branching out and trying new things. I’ve probably got about a month of soap left, and I’m looking for a good soap that’s good for sensitive skin, and maybe comes in “puck” form rather than being in a plastic tub.

  Also, now that I’ve got the basics down, are there any “beyond basic” things that you’d recommend to up my game? Thanks in advance.

  You’ve touched on the cycle of enshittification. Step 1, everything is free and wonderful. Step 2: milk those customers for money.

  The solution is to favor and support services which take capitalism out of the equation. It might cost a little bit, but I think a few small donations can go a long way.

  Thanks to DMCA, circumventing this protection and sharing it with people is illegal.

  What’s the payoff of you inserting obvious Russian propaganda spam into a story about American labor?

  There is none. Go away.
