That sandwich of orange Doritos and bologna on white bread looks like Trump and is a great metaphor in so many ways.

edit for examples:
  • Looks like Trump
  • Is probably something Trump would eat
  • No doubt tastes like poo poo
  • Has zero nutritional value
  • Likely causes breath that smells like diarrhea, perfectly matching the words coming out
  • Is composed 100% of corn-based chemicals and animal parts unsuited for the pet-food chute at the slaughterhouse
  • Contains an ingredient that could probably give you Cheetoh lung, which I believe isn't too different from what coal mines do to miners
  • Would only be consumed by a mentally ill white man-child (or woman-child in this case, it seems)

I bought a store-brand spiral ham, then accidentally set my timer for too long, and overcooked the ham. For a side I had two slices of bread out of a bag. This was the first year of my adult life that I couldn’t muster the motivation to cook a Thanksgiving meal. Pretend I posted a picture of a big off-brand Tupperware bowl full of misshapen and overly dry ham bits I hacked off the bone. Death cannot get here soon enough.

my family is far away such that flying out for a few days is prohibitively expensive, but someone i work with was nice enough to invite me to his thanksgiving dinner. anyway these stupid forums have had an outsized influence on me as a person, including these politics threads where despite any disagreements we at least can acknowledge things like objective reality. happy holidays fuckers

Plus, there's a seriously good chance that Trump actually ate that for Thanksgiving too. McDonalds and KFC don't have a Thanksgiving dinner option, so I don't know what else he would eat.

Hope you all had a good thanksgiving, I was in charge of getting thanksgiving dinner set up for it and market basket has a 10 person full thanksgiving dinner in a box for 60 bucks, it made actually making dinner for the folks way simpler and the turkey and everything was great, precooked, pregibbed, just heat everything up etc. Also had a political talk inevitably and even my formerly conservative dad is entirely done with republicans, which is nice.

Wait, do the English just never use corn chips instead of potato chips in their sandwiches? Cause I've only ever seen either fries or chips as a sandwich filling in the UK.

Potato chips on a sandwich isn't "American". It might be something you only see here, but only crazy mutants do that.

Re: sandwich chat - we have chip butties in the UK but they're not much of a thing and they're UK chips (as in fries) not crisps. Sure you can put crisps in a sandwich but it's not exactly common.

I’ve been seeing chips as ingredients in like high-end/trendy NYC sandwich shops increasingly in recent years. Not sure if they’re doing it because they think they’re being “international” or if it’s an irony thing.

Putting like 4 large chips in a burger to add crunch and a little flavor is fine, having a dozen or more is a bit much

My kingdom-mate here is correct. I've lived from Boston to LA and I've seen Americans do that everywhere. It might not be that common to you personally but it's absolutely a thing you guys will do sometimes that I've never seen anywhere else. I'm not saying I've seen it on restaurant menus but that I'm definitely the only one who ever found it odd when a friend would dump a layer of Lays or Doritos into any random sandwich.

There are crisp butties too. I had UK coworkers who loved them with whatever the hell salad cream is.

Personally, I think they're even more depressing than chip butties.

It makes sense for Ocasio-Cortez to be a bull in a china shop since Republicans are old, white, fragile and at times surprisingly inexpensive to buy.

Drove 12 hours to see family, and normally they don't want me to cook anything because I'm their guest and its the holidays and we should relax.

Laughed. Made scratch Mac and cheese and whipped cream. Wife made cornbread and pumpkin marble cheesecake. Nearly busted a table with food, and not a political discussion between us. No, we did those on the day running up to turkey.

I hope all the goons here had a wonderful thanksgiving, and that we're all well and rested to face the :hmbol:s again.

I am really curious how Tariffs will affect Holiday shopping this year. Like, if prices on things are increasing then that could dampen the shot of adrenaline retail gets around the Holidays.

To my fellow working goons, I develop a web-app for the National Guard and I am fielding questions about why it is so slow today and I have to explain to them that when everyone in their office is streaming Netflix, ESPN, and Youtube, it tends to make the Internet run slower...

Edit: Also, I am hungover as fuuuuuuuuuck. Collectively, we went through 20+ bottles of wine last night.

No Thanksgiving for me this year. I live abroad so it's not a thing. The first few years I was here we had office Thanksgiving but I left that job two years ago. Last year I went home for Thanksgiving. This year I just forgot about it until it was too late to plan anything.

Oh well! I did get the day off from work and had a nice nap in the afternoon. And today I'm going to probably buy a large bass guitar amp. So it's all good. I'll try to Skype with family this weekend.
