The "magical moment" I'm referring to is when Krang's tweet got embedded in an infowars article so he changed his handle to ALEXJONES CHUGS PISS

Of course I'd make a wish upon the Saudi Orb. I'm not an idiot. That thing looks like it has mad wish-granting abilities.

There was an article a while back where a gay couple was arguing that gay marriage shouldn't be legalized because they didn't personally want to get married. It's like the opposite of "gently caress you, got mine." gently caress you, I don't want mine so neither should you.

A facebook acquaintance posted about Alex Jones getting the boot. There were the normal idiots arguing about free speech and censorship and slippery slopes. It was pretty civil and all though. Then someone came Kramering in to start yelling about fascists and how disgusting we all were for hating first amendment rights. My friend said something like "The First Amendment only applies to the government, not private entities" and he absolutely lost his poo poo. Saying that my friend was being smug "finding a loophole" in the first amendment and was a sicko for it. I wish I'd screenshot before my friend deleted the whole thing. Just the idea that having a very basic understanding of what the first amendment says, and what it's for (hint: it's not to force people to allow others to say whatever they want on their property).

I could maybe see spending that much here in Canada if I was buying everything organic and out of season. Maybe.

I appreciate the poster's indignation at how much he would have hypothetically paid for his vegan meal plan once he added back in the discounts from his (likely free) membership card and still included his $1 donation to charity. Anything to let people know that I'm an ally of the poor fat people who can't afford my cornucopia of snacks.

Wait, is that the actual receipt? Because that clearly says it was 24 dollars. Not 32.

Yes, that is the actual receipt. I googled the tumblr and she posted it once people called out how bullshit it was. She does indeed say it was 32 without the discount card and including her donation, which are conveniently not mentioned in the original post.

I have been working out! My modem is broken and my phone eats half the posts I try to make, including all the posts I've tried to make here. I'll try this one more time.

I would never spend that much on grapes at one time, and I love grapes. I just can't eat 2.5kg of grapes before they go bad. That's not even getting into the ludicrousness of not buying any staples or anything approaching actual meal prep ingredients.

Are they eating all those grapes in one sitting? That would last me over a week. Spreading $25 on snacks over a week isn't outrageous. If they're whining about fatshaming, I'm just going to assume they're eating all that at once. And yeah, eating way more than you need IS going to be expensive.

Assuming you're living in her area to buy those grapes on that sale. $2.49/lb for grapes is about what I see for a sale in the summer around here. And on a snack-for-snack basis, I could buy 10 boxes of cheez-its or bags of chips for the same price and not have to worry about them going bad in 5 days. Which is what that whole post is about (that lovely prepackaged food loaded with HFCS and saturated fat is cheaper and simpler for the working poor to reliably consume than actually healthy food), if people would stop zeroing in on specific item choices for half a second. Would it be better if one of the bags of grapes was a bag of ~6 apples? Or if the pineapple+nuts were instead 2 bell peppers? Pick any $30 in produce you like, it's not going to change the reality of the problem, which is that poor people end up fat more often because the cheap easy food is poo poo nutritionally and combined with the dearth of food/cooking education in the country, there's very little if any way for them to learn how to cut an onion, how to fry an egg, etc. and telling someone "spend this money you need to maximize on ingredients along with time you probably don't have to maybe cook a thing that will be good for you assuming you don't gently caress it up and assuming you can get the ingredients and use them before they spoil" is painfully antithetical to actually solving the problem of getting the impoverished to cook & eat better.
