I wanna know who was saying that 30 years ago, cause I certainly wasn't in that loop and also to rain a pummeling deluge of fists onto their throat for knowing this and not doing anything.

      Kinda gonna have to in the future

      I know the billionaire doomsday bunkers have some weird 3D printer that “prints” food, mostly just in the form of a nutritional block but I assume after their luxury MRE’s run out and if they haven’t figured out how to grow or incapable of growing fresh produce then 3D printed food is what they will have to rely on as sustenance, that is of course until we raid their bunkers and acquire this technology for ourselves. After that we can start printing burger we downloaded from a local internet source

    Last week a tuna fish sandwich cost 9 dollars. You couldn't pay me 9 dollars to order a tuna sandwich.

      if someone is offering to pay you to eat a tuna sandwich on cam, you probably could substitute a vegan alternative.

    If your vacation costs $12,500, you are fucking rich as fuck. Most vacations cost people like $500-$2,000. If you’re spending more than that on a vacation you are bougie scum.

    A basic car costs $30,000 brand new.

    Also there were plenty of people “eating in, not driving, and not going anywhere” 30 years ago. In fact, maybe even more than today per capita.

      For your first paragraph you just lack literacy.

      Explain your second one so I can tell you how fucking stupid you are in greater detail.

      Edit: for posterity, they edited post to add extra paragraphs but any aside from the first can count as paragraph 2. Also fucking weird stealth edit cause it just adds 'basic car' costs and additional ranting about vacation costs. Not really sure what the gain was there.
