My cat would hate this because the footing is so uncertain.

Is this a screenshot post, @ipostscreenshots@lemmy.zip?


Oh, and besides that, I’m only fourteen
So we had sex one more time



I don’t use any of these suggestions, but the ones I keep hearing *about are Quik and Fossify Messages.
Edit: accidentally a word
I hate the implication that these pillows actually exist somewhere out in the world.


We pick a different dish every year for our main.
That sounds actually awesome.
It was fantasticly coffee
I have no idea what that means, but it still sounds pretty good.


Try telling that to your mother who’s been handling the turkey for decades.
You get what you get and you either like it or you shut up and pretend that you do, because that’s your mum and she’s tired and hasn’t seen you in weeks and turkey is always a little dry, trust me I know, I’ve been doing this since before you were born, eat it with some cranberry sauce, have you seen your cous…


I can and have cooked turkey for myself.
When I lived on my own and worked in the restaurant industry, I took it as a point of pride to figure out how to do it well.
I tried brines, but found that simple salting and leaving it on the bottom shelf overnight was easier and just as effective.
And that cutting it up and cooking each part via sous vide was a more reliable way to cook the meat to an even tenderness.
And that I could still brown the skin on a cast iron pan on high heat afterwards.
And then experiment with sauces and dressing and spices because that’s where a lot of the flavor and fun came from (for me).
And then decided it just wasn’t worth it. Not when I can cook a chicken, a duck, and a Cornish hen for half the effort.
If you want to go through the effort and expense of doing it because that makes it special to you and you enjoy it, more power to you.
But Thanksgiving seems more like ritual torture for the vast majority of people who do it because we collectively accepted that it’s “what you’re supposed to do”.


I support your right to love turkey at any level of doneness.
I should have specified that it’s not worth it to families (or grocery store employees) to collectively pressure everyone in the country to buy a turkey during the same one-week period.


Rather than all of that stress, I’d rather we collectively agree that it’s just not worth it.
Cook smaller poultry.
It’s easier to cook evenly and it usually tastes better anyway.


This is because the turkey is always so dry.
although they can probably mitigate the effects by moving to one of their 500 houses that’s in a safe zone
That’s why they don’t care.
Climate change hits the poorest first and hardest (see: hurricanes in the Caribbean and SEA).
Billionaires can fly in, enjoy the sunshine, fly out and not get a drop of water on their skin.
And they’ll keep “outrunning” climate change on an individual level, and only feel it when it hurts their net worth*.
At which point, they’ll just re-organize their investments to exploit clean energy subsidies and real estate wherever everyone is fleeing to when the coasts flood.


There is a viable alternative to the problems raised by Bill Gates in his irate letter to computer hobbyists concerning “ripping off” software. When software is free, or so inexpensive that it’s easier to pay for it than to duplicate it, then it won’t be “stolen”.

Have you tried the box it came in?

Even if Selfridge’s entire existence were a collective fever dream*, the “full quote” is the better quote.
I can’t imagine anyone who has worked in direct sales, at any amount of money, who genuinely believes “the customer is always right” is more correct of a saying without “in matters of taste”.
If everyone born before 1925 was a fever dream, it changes literally nothing about the state of the world today.
