If you look up "ankle scarf" you get articles about how it's completely imaginary astroturfing that nobody has ever done in real life so it's actually kinda both in this case.

Talk shit, get bzzzt.

I rent out my butthole to six men who take turns sleeping in my rear end, in a 200 square foot apartment with twenty other millenials who do the same thing as me, and together we pull in $500 million a year since we all have cushy software development CEO jobs and we all live on gruel.

See, anyone can pull themselves (and 120 people who live in you and your butts) up by the bootstraps, so long as everyone is rich, white, and the bastard children of billionaires being bribed with bullshit jobs.

Take that liberals.

Making money on social media is cool and good for a while but then suddenly people dont give a poo poo about you anymore and your income goes from 50k a month to 150 dollars a month and suddenly you are immediately hosed, especially when you start looking for jobs and they ask you what you did over the last few years and all you can tell them is that you ate food and blogged about it

look at this dude feeding his toddler on Wagyu beef, organic kale smoothies and out of season pomegranates

Toddlers eat like white bread and microwave chicken nuggets, they're pretty cheap to feed. $1000 is more than our food budget for a family of three with a toddler and food is significantly more expensive where I live than in the US.

I'm joking of course, he mostly eats the same as us but like, half portions. The point is that toddlers are less expensive to feed than adults.

If you shoot
you better hit your mark
Once had a colleague bring his son in on the morning shift and, while feeding him, complain to his wife that the kid had only eaten 4 mcnuggets. Normally he would do 8.

honestly, we started spending more money on groceries in an effort to eat better once ours started in on real food

i thought we'd be saving money since going out to eat has dropped to zero, but it hasn't really worked out like that


then again the egg allergy shuts out a lotta the cheaper foods so that might be an important factor idk

For me "eating better" tends to be a lot cheaper because it means cooking at home rather than getting takeaways. I also don't eat meat so home cooking tends to be pretty cheap - veggies, beans, lentils, rice etc are all v cheap.

I'm allergic to nothing and it's still not really cheap to eat good quality food tbh

The cost of living where I am is prolly higher than average to be fair I guess

i haven't watched it yet but is this about how louisiana's only allowed to collect tax on offshore drilling 3 miles from the coastline while the other states gets 9 or 10 miles

and how there was a deal in like 2009 to trade taxation away from some of the platforms in that range to the feds in exchange for storm recovery funds
