The services themselves suck but if you're the kind of person who rotates between like ten different meals you know how to cook it's nice in that the recipes they send you are actually easy to make and usually pretty good and you can just buy poo poo to make them yourself. Of course I didn't pay for it but as an idea provider for a week I'll admit that it did get one or two easy dishes into the rotation.

Griz posted:it costs more than takeout and produces an immense amount of packaging garbage. Yeah, I've had two Hell Fresh subs (one time I did it, and more recently my roommate tried it). They did improve the packaging in the ~4 years between subs, but it was still very wasteful. You literally get little plastic packets of everything. To top it off, everything tastes samey. I'm guessing that because they put everything in packets, they just have a limited pallet and just swap everything around. It's literally the kind of thing you do for a month because it was free or deeply discounted, and then cancel it before you get to the real cost. a primate posted:I’m still lmaoing at this Onions have been pricy as hell lately, the bags I normally buy have the same amount of onions in them, but they're about 1/3 to 1/2 the size, and they go rotten fast. In the past it was rare that I'd get an onion that went mushy, usually they sprout first, but lately I'm getting mush a week after I bought the bag.

Lib and let die posted:i'm dumb as hell and refuse to look at either the d&d or cspam covid thread (maybe smarter than i give myself credit for?) are we just doing the "omicron was the Last Variant" and these BA things are just unremarkable offshoots that don't get a new letter designation because We Told You Stupid Consumers That COVID Is Over, Dammit? Sorry, a bit late to reply, and I'm phone-posting so don't have some resources super-handy, but: Yea TPTB appear to have leaned on the WHO etc and discouraged new greek letters being introduced for covid. It was always for the general public, just layman's terms to simplify media coverage. Anyways, here's a visual representing the relative "differences" between the thousands of sub-variants. You can view "further apart" as indicating "greater amount of notable mutations which alter its potency for transmission, severe infection, immune escape, etc".   If you don't want more info, okay, stay safe. If you're curious to learn more, visit the cspam covid thread.

In Training posted:Couldnt you just burn your draft card if you didnt want to go. lol, only if you whispered the magic spell at the same time. you could starve yourself to be underweight or have sympathetic doctors remove a couple digits from your hand, both of which I heard suggested at draft-evasion seminars. a relative of mine went on leave while serving in vietnam and never returned; he spent a decade in canada before the mass pardon then became an antiwar activist in latin america during the time in which the cia was most active destabilizing the region. that was a success story compared to some of the stories I heard from other vietnam veterans, but most didn't talk about their experiences there.

generational warfare is bullshit but hard not to fall into. i think it stems from a few things most obviously, the most visible and powerful people in politics are boomers and refuse to retire also it’s important to remember that the boomers you see are the boomers who made it to 2022. lower income people have shorter lifespans so youre left with the more privileged boomers, who would have outsized influence regardless lastly lead poisoning, but it remains to be seen how your brain reacts long term to being 1/3rd microplastics by weight so dont feel too smug

The thing about your boomer defense is that boomers supported the Vietnam war more than any other generation alive at the time, in spite of the hippy peacenik stereotypes. You, personally, might not be as bad as your generation, but your generation, collectively has been the most bootlicker, pro-war, Reagan-electing, union busting psychopaths since the dawn of the twentieth century. There's damage that the politics and individual beliefs of boomers has done, while not totally unique, that cannot be handwaved away. You can't just put that down to "generational warfare" because the poo poo is already on the floor. Understand that I don't hate you, and I don't hate every boomer blindly, but what happened to your generation can never be allowed to happen again.

ascribing anything to generational differences is hilarious. capital demanded union busting and endless wars and neoliberal austerity projects, and blaming anything on ”boomers” as a monolithic block is as naive as saying “oh the zoomers will save us” or, look it’s the old thread favorite, “demographics are destiny” zooomers will grow up to be enforcers of capital just like their parents, and their parents parents, and all the way back, until capitalism is crushed, hth.
