I think this needs to be changed to “I need to help bring about horrible things to terrible people.”

Be the change you wanna see in the world, kinda thing.

What are some highlights?

Obi-Wan didn’t even use the force on that one. He just changed a man’s life with a sick burn.

Avocados are definitely more on the savory side of the food spectrum. Culinarily, they’re almost always referred to as a vegetable because of this, despite being a fruit in botanical terms.

As others have said, salt is pretty much always involved in their preparation. Also, for me and most of the people I know, it’s more of an addition to a meal than an actual meal or snack in itself.

I often dice them and put them in rice bowls with cilantro, lime or lemon juice, and whatever other protein I’m using (usually chicken or a fresh fish). They’re also added to citrus heavy or savory Asian fusion dishes a lot, nowadays. Basically, avocado goes well with anything rich and savory or light and citrusy.

Aside from that, they are a popular condiment on sandwiches and wraps and add a hint of their flavor and a really nice texture.

People will also do them somewhat like oysters, though, just halved and with hot sauce and lime or lemon juice.

Regardless, I don’t think anyone I know eats them without preparation/straight.

I read magnificent as malignant. Not sure which is better to your average kleptomaniac writing about “the economy”.

Huh. That’s crazy. It’s almost as if it’s a news piece. Posted in a news community, no less. How interesting.

That’s definitely a start.

Genuinely no one did anything right in their attempt to remove him from the room. That’s actually impressive. We know just punishments will not be meted out without the action of the people.

Holy fucking shit. The quotes are genuinely deranged. I honestly don’t have words.

Also, wtf is that weird ass black gubernatorial candidate yapping on about with the term “woke right” as a description for these racist, incel, hateful chuds? Those fuckers have their heads so far up their own asses and so deep in the sand, woke is literally the opposite of their entire life experience.

Edit: Jesus. They are so. fucking. weird.

And dude is literally calling people who would legit murder him “woke”. I don’t even know if I want anyone to make it make sense, really.

I have no idea how this is even classified as politics anymore. We’re so desensitized to this batshit swill.

I always thought “Israeli money” was a bit of an oxymoron…

Definitely appreciate that. My first scout master was genuinely Mr. Nature and taught us so much. He stuck around for a couple years after his kids went through and we all benefitted from it.

A few friends and I quit in protest a ways through life scout because our second scout master turned the troop into a nepotistic theocracy. He was a very sad pharmacist who moonlit as a wannabe drill instructor going through a major midlife crisis.

We called it when he began fast tracking kids in his church through eagle and being openly hostile to any of us who weren’t basically white Christian nationalists. Although this dude was a Catholic, it also didn’t help that the Mormon church had entirely captured the administrative structure of scouting in my area around the same time.

I saw how good it could be and then saw it turn to absolute discriminatory and racist shit within the span of about a year and a half. All of that really dispelled any of the magic for me and I was over it.

I will say that it was an early lesson in appreciating, understanding, and emulating good leaders and giving myself permission to cut ties with losers. It was also pretty amusing seeing the kids/families who stayed in the troop get all fussy when those of us who left outperformed and led more well rounded lives than their weird, coddled, and emotionally stunted children.

I like to think I got what I needed out of scouting and more lol.

Of course LinkedIn slop misinterprets the data to basically say, “You, too, can become a billionaire even if you had mediocre grades!”

That hellscape of a platform is so full of self aggrandizement and accountability dodging.

Edit: Also, this guy has no concept of education and seemingly a feeble grasp of success markers. His articles seem extremely biased by his own upbringing and social mores.

I often felt this way in school, through grad school, as well. For me, it would be a bad hair day or just waking up not feeling great about myself and I’d basically just color the whole day in the shitty mood I woke up in and I basically gave up on the day

Definitely a your mileage may vary kind of thing, but for me it was pretty much impossible to reframe my day when I got into that mindset.

I also think being in an environment where I, consciously or unconsciously, felt a need/want to look good to other people (highschool and law school were very like this for me) would put me in that mindset.

I eventually addressed these feelings through a lot of self work and help from a good therapist, but I think age and confidence also played a role/were intertwined in this for me.

Eventually, I didn’t care so much about how I appeared to most others, told my pretentious law job to kick rocks, and became a teacher. I’ve developed even tougher skin through that profession because kids are both freaking hilarious and remarkably brutal. Any form of pretense or GAF kind of energy will be detrimental to honest interactions and teaching in general, so when the kids learn that I’m just here to help them learn and don’t care about clout/drama, it really helps tear down some walls.

Idk, kinda went on a bit there, but basically a lot of what I experienced was due to me caring about how I was perceived and if it wasn’t perfect in my eyes, I gave up. Once I started focusing on honest interactions with others, and moved into a career/life trajectory that supported that focus, I kind of moved away from being so hard on myself.

Some or none of this may apply to you, but I hope this helps a bit and if you’re asking these kinds of “why” questions, you’re already on a good track.

“press”

Nah, there’s one in there already. Thanks, though!

Edit: on -> in

They’ve had the famous star on their menu even before their quarter pound “six dollar burger” options came out in the mid 00s.

Famous stars were more like their signature/original burger (I guess that and the Western Bacon burger) and were priced lower than their premium line of six dollar burgers or even most of their promotional stuff.

That’s how far we’ve fallen lol. The price didn’t just go up 36 cents, their original tier burger either doubled or tripled in price (even outside of a meal offering) depending on where you live and they discontinued the premium Angus beef burger line because nobody can afford it/they continue to enshitify their menu and quality of their ingredients/sourcing.

I hear there’s a new model coming out soon.

Alright. I chuckled. Tell my family I’m going to Hell.

“Decline” would suppose that there was any substance there to begin with…

Kazakhstan moving up in the world. Very niiice!
