You realize that your long and complex comment didn’t mention big booty even once?
Rectified.

I’m in the USA where it varies station by station, and even from news show to show.
- Comment on Big booty meteorologists are best meteorologists 14 hours ago:
Realistically, how many ‘weather reporters’ actually studied it? And of the ones who did how many have access to a private weather station?
- Comment on Big booty meteorologists are best meteorologists 19 hours ago:
Because there were clues in the background as to what the report was; such as a banner saying ‘traffic report.’
He ignored everything that was unimportant.

True story.
Work TV is on the local news channel but the sound is off. Guy is watching the girl presenter. When the commercial comes on he says “Man, that weather girl is hot.”
I tell him she’s hotter than he realizes.
He asks how can she be hotter than he knows.
I tell him that she was doing a traffic report, not the weather.

Everyone is weird and crazy at that age. Try not to overthink things and just try to enjoy yourself.

USA here. I live in a neighborhood with a lot of Italian grocery stores and delis. One place sells premade pizzas; you can store in the fridge, or freeze, or cook it when you get home. I’ve never tried them myself, but there’s at least one American brand that sells ‘uncooked’ pizza [as opposed to cooked and frozen]

Very much so!

Taking control of your food supply is basic. It seems like a big expense to set up a decent kitchen, but the truth is that you can do a lot in a small space. It’s so much cheaper to prepare stuff in advance and freeze it. For the cost of one takeout meal you can have five home cooked meals.

It would depend on how often OP orders food in. Also, they don’t run 24/7. Once stuff reaches the set temperature the motor stops. Another advantage is bulk buying. If butter is on sale you can buy a lot and freeze it. Same thing for staples like chicken. The unit works less when you fill it up because the cold food stays cold in the insulated box.
My usual pattern is to cook a 5 litre pot of soup or stew and freeze in in pint size size containers. Or you can make spaghetti sauce and freeze it in smaller containers. Tight now I’ve got lentil soup and chili sitting in my freezer. Takes about 7 minutes to cook in the microwave.
Also, and this is just because I live in a neighborhood with an abundance of Italian food stores, I get a lot of precooked or ready to cook meals at the store and freeze them.

5 cubic feet of storage for under $200.00 Apx 1.5 cubic meters. www.homedepot.com/p/…/311895690
I’ve seen these installed in vans. Not mobile homes, vans.

Consider investing in a bigger freezer.
You can get a good one new for under $200.00 It’ll end up paying for itself in a few months if you order in a lot. I like to cook up a huge pot of chili/soup/stew and freeze it in pint size containers. Instead of ordering in, I can have something I like fast.

Who buys one frozen pizza?

Back in the day, the Soviets overtly backed Leftist positions across the world. They ended up empowering the Far Right by giving them a concrete enemy. Former KGB operative Putin reversed it; he’s been supporting the Right to undermine the West for years.

Since we’re not all dinosaurs right now, it’s safe to assume that his plans were thwarted.

Saw a cartoon years ago. Panel 1 = “How Democrats See The World.” It’s a globe with the USA divided into Red States and Blue States. The rest of the countries are pink/green/orange except for a few black spots with a skull and crossbones marked ‘Terrorists.’
Panel 2 = “How the GOP Sees the World…” Same globe, except there are only two colors; the Red States and everything else is “Terrorists.”
- Comment on ‘We deserve more’: US workers’ share of the pie dwindles 1 week ago:
People were talking about it during Reagan’s Presidency.
There were giant homeless encampments in all major cities throughout the 1980s.
Read Hunter Thompson’s book “Hell’s Angels.” There’s a chapter that talks about the economics of being a biker/hippie/artist circa 1970. A part time waitress in New York could afford to support herself and her musician boyfreind. A biker could put in six months as a Union stevedore and make enough to hit the road for two years of carousing.
And the idea that Obama caused the melt down of 2008 is pretty hilarious.
- Comment on ‘We deserve more’: US workers’ share of the pie dwindles 1 week ago:
This is 100% the result of Reagan’s trickle down economics, a policy his own Vice President called ‘voo-doo economics.*’
In 1980, ‘middle class’ was still seen as one income supporting a family of four. By the time Bush Sr. was through, ‘middle class’ meaning two jobs was established as the norm.
*Bush used the phrase before Reagan offered him the Number 2 job; suddenly he was fine with it.

Weird thing about this movie is that the behind the scenes stories sound far more exciting than what ended up on the screen.

The Freshman is a movie starring Marlon Brando and Matthew Broderick. Part of the plot is that the Mafia is holding underground dinners for the 0.01%, offering endangered species as the main entree. The twist is that the Mafia is serving them domestic goat meat, because it’s much easier to lie than find and smuggle endangered species.

I just posted something about ‘classified ads’ in newspapers and someone asked what classified ads are.
A 30 year old posted that he now felt old after reading that question.

Apple is weird.
They released ‘The Aerialists’ in theaters for a hot minute, then moved it to their service.
I’m not an accountant, but anyone can see there are a lot of shenanigans going on with Hollywood book keeping.
That said, I only saw ‘The Flash’ on DVD from my library and "indy …’ because it was on a streaming service about six months after it opened.
None of these movies is popular.

Say what you want about Walt Disney as a person, he truly loved telling great stories.
But the people in charge now have no idea what actual creativity looks like.
