Barrage à trois

That sounds better. My friend is working in their field, but the positions are set up knowing that they’ll mostly be applied for by PhD students with masters degrees during their coursework, so they know they can pay like crap and they’ll take it anyway. All my understanding of these systems come from the US way, so it’s nice to know it’s better elsewhere.

I’m not sure, though I don’t think I’d use the word greed or entitlement there. That said, I think people who aren’t working through their doctorate often don’t appreciate just how lucky they are to avoid such a burden. A friend of mine was kvetching about a fellow in their cohort complaining about how the dissertation scheduling was interfering with their European vacation holiday while my friend is trying to pick up as many shifts as they can at two part time jobs that wildly underpay them for their education level. My friend never has a consistent schedule and never seems to have more than maybe ten hours of free time a week outside of sleeping. That person is entitled and clueless.

That all said, I don’t think you need to take the words of anyone on social media or an internet forum all that seriously or personally.

Personally? The academic system seems utterly fucked up and abusive. In a way that favors education for the few that can mitigate the pains of capitalism already.

There’s two kinds of people I’ve met pursuing doctorates.

Those who are independently wealthy and don’t need to work while pursuing it and those who aren’t and do.

Both seem incredibly stressed and depressed almost consistently. Though the latter seem to be, understandably, bitter at the lamentations of the former.

For shame for you to say that Star Trek has run on too long.

We need messages about cooperating to create a classless, moneyless society of benevolent people now more than ever.

Gen X isn’t as radical on the whole as one might think (of course there’s some incredibly rad exceptions) and, well, boomers haven’t died off yet. They still hold most of the wealth ergo most of the power in America. It’s a geriocracy and it ain’t the 50+ year old Millenials running the show.

I would love to see an article about bobobos titled “So Much For the Tolerant Left!”

It’s seventeen minutes after you replied to me and I can not only see your reply, I’ve upvoted it and made this reply.

I’m pretty sure blocking goes one way. You can’t see their posts but they can see and reply to yours.

Someone who has actually had an American experience. Someone who’s been homeless, who’s worked more than one job just to barely make rent. Someone who’s viewed home ownership as a pipe dream. Someone who’s waited tables. Someone that’s done drugs just for an escape. Someone who’s lost friends and family to those same drugs. Someone who’s had a total stranger express hate for them just for being outside the in-power group.

No more of these disconnected rich pricks who don’t really know how the average person lives.

I had one. The microwave worked as one would expect. The air fryer function was less than stellar, but i don’t have a lot of experience with air fryers, so it may have been fine. It did heat up and crisp things decently, but it took longer than the packaging for the foods I heated up indicated. It didn’t really make French fries from potatoes too well, but that mighr have just needed more testing. I quickly gave up and just used the wok.

I never tried it with things I’d usually put in the oven.

From the little info you’ve shared, it sounds like you’ve made fair choices that align with your life style and goals, but she has the right to get her hackles up and say that those life styles don’t align with hers.

Her hesitancy is fair if she has different views on marriage.

A great and timely reminder for all that canned pumpkin is literally just as good as fresh.

I’ve personally tested it in 3 dishes, pie, cheesecake and soup, and my friends and family couldn’t tell the difference between canned and fresh.

Annnnnnd now I miss playing Tribes.

Go to a farm. Take a hay ride. Wander through the pumpkin patch with your friends and loved ones. Ponder what you’ll carve as you pick the perfect shape to match. Laugh at the oddly shaped gourds. Take some freshly pressed cider home with you and enjoy it cold, mulled with spices, spiked or any combination of those as you carve the pumpkin.

These events mark the time of year and form memories with those you share them with. This is culture.

It isn’t bro’s fault that capitalism ruined the joy of the fall harvest activities. The store feels bereft of life and joy because it is. The pumpkin patch has been commodified because the farmers need to get every dollar they can to compete against the capital of larger farms.

Bro just wanted to partake in his local community and enjoy the changing seasons. Even if it’s not as good, you’ll make memories at the pumpkin patch.

The store is just a store.

Aotenjo: infinite hands is essentially balatro but with mahjong. There’s many more hand types and ways to specialize your Wall (deck). I highly recommend it

If I had a nickle for every time someone who knows I keep kosher offered me butter chicken “because it’s not pork”, I’d be a rich man.

Anything with black salt in it. Eggs don’t bother me, but the extra sulfurous scent in black salt is so off-putting to me. Tasty when used right, tho!

Used to be able to say natto, but it’s so tasty, cheap and nutritious that I’ve overcome my aversion and now it smells good to me.

Honorary mention to Swedish cod roe paste (Kalles). I, personally, didn’t mind the smell, but my roommate would call it “pussy paste”. She was more nose sensitive, it seemed, though, as she was the only roommate who very politely asked me to wait until she’d eaten before I prepared the natto.
