lol it's okay I've accepted my role as one of the official dads of the site.
You're all my somewhat estranged children.
Is that why you keep yelling at me to get off peoples lawns?
Like you're not one of the few people near my age round here. Just accept it, we're the adoptive parents of Hexbear.
:yes-honey-left: okay then help me get these kids off my lawn
The only way to get kids off your lawn is to engage them in the marketplace of ideas and argue for the sanctity of private property. They will think you are a libertarian and be creeped out and leave.
ngl i had assumed that it would get better after university/school... does it not???? :scared: :kitty-cri-screm:
Depends on what kind of job you get.
The dice are definitely not in your favor though. Especially now.
As you grow older you get to trade in some of your youthful anxiety for seasoned bitterness.
Was reading Capital the other day and Marx is talking about how they were giving workers alcohol and stuff so they could work like 20 hours a day, this shit goes back a ways.
Ah, so my drinking on the job is just part of a long proletarian tradition? Ngl that does make me feel a little better
The worst cyberpunk dystopia most people in the west can possibly imagine already exists all around them and far worse in the global south.
Wholesome giving children prosthetics that they can work to pay off!
And also that you're pitted against younger people instead of the sources of your exhaustion.
Why do people go to coffee shops, especially ones like Starbucks? It takes no effort to make a pot of coffee and every gas station in existence sells the same product far cheaper anyways. Their primary market seems to be libs who work in an office with a coffee machine.
Like I get the "I'm chilling at a table in a cafe talking to a friend" coffee shop, but not the standing in line for burnt bean water coffee shops.
Starbucks is overpriced shit, but do gas stations really sell good coffee where you live? I don't think I've been to many gas stations that offer espresso out of anything except a fully automated machine.
Join the rest of us proles and just enjoy a cuppa Joe from the pot :grillman:
Contrary to what chuds claim, communism is not when everyone has the worst version of everything.
Theres nothing wrong with enjoying good old-fashioned drip coffee, :grillman: assuming it's the worst on the otherhand :meow-shining:
Drip coffee is categorically inferior to espresso and I will die on this hill.
Imagine if you will, the lord of the rings meme, where Gimli says to Legolas while staring at the ork horde racing towards them "never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an elf." And Legolas replies "what about side to side with a friend" to which Gimli replied gruffly, "aye, I could do that."
Now imagine Gimli is you, and Legolas are liberal coffee snobs and the ork horde are the sigma working class drop coffee enjoyers.
Now imagine Gimli is you
You should have led with this. I'm in.
espresso was invented to shorten Italians' coffee breaks by brewing the coffee quicker
it is inherently an anti-worker brew method
Kwik Trip has all the coffee options except like, a milk steamer.
Gas station coffee, with some exceptions I'm sure, ranges from brown piss water to passable. Starbucks is overpriced and its almost certain there's a local shop just as good or better near you you should go to....but commerical coffee machines are better.
If you're the kind of person who drowns your coffee in milk and sugar then it's kind of a wash (espresso not withstanding), but if you take it black like me you can definitely taste a difference between office kcup pod coffee and actual coffee shop coffee.
Now mind you I'm not so stuck up that I won't drink the cheap stuff but it is a nice treat to get a solid quality cup of coffee when you're out and about.
Edit: if I made six figures and had the time to stop at a coffee shop every morning I could probably see myself being one of those tbh...
I get why you would go to a coffee shop to get espresso and steamed milk. The machines for that are too bulky, expensive and unwieldy to work in a private kitchen.
I got an idea, how about millennials and zoomers get that fast track? Fuck off I'm busy and I need the wake-up juice so I can do one of my three jobs I need to survive. You had a kid, that's for rich people and a luxury, I need that to better operate at something I am REQUIRED to have to not die. You're rich, go fuck off Starbucks or some shit.
I'm tired of these stuck-up assholes thinking they know me, they don't.
I barely slept two hours, because of drugs what now Mom? :very-smart:
I'm unattractive, the advantages of which is that I can live out my 30s and 40s without expensive poop machines. (no hate to the parents and the attractive out there)
