Just got home from groceries and honestly I don't understand how there hasn't been any violence over food inflation. The reported inflation figure is a total, absurd lie (as everyone here knows). Food inflation has been something closer to 10-15% year over year since covid.

Everything I'm buying is like $2/more per unit than I remember and I'm like, yeah, that tracks. And all the 16oz stuff comes in 14oz packages now.

The literal only reason I'm getting by without having to resort to rice and beans every single meal is because of SNAP and lol that's gonna be slashed to the bone in the next 30 days.

americans are very docile and still have "treats", ostensibly. things aren't that bad for me, look at those homeless, at least i'm still roofed and have a netflix. the bottom of the barrel could always be deeper.

plus it's still easy to steal food from self-checkouts

Apparently this is something called “technofetishistic egotism,” a condition in which tech creators fall into the trap where, “They don’t understand anything about the ecosystems they’re trying to disrupt…and assume that because they understand one very complicated thing, [difficult programming challenges]…that all other complicated things must be lesser in complexity and naturally lower in the hierarchy of reality, nails easily driven by the hammer that they have created.”

the way computer science is currently taught, you get introduced to algorithms as things that can solve certain types of problems (e.g. 'the traveling salesman problem'), then an explanation of abstracting those problems vis-a-vis best case efficiency, which then leads to P, NP, and -hard and -completeness. Without some other metaphysics/ontology/really loving any liberal arts, it becomes easy to see the world, and any obstacle, as a series of processes that can be algorithmically optimized (by computers! maybe even by you!), which I think is at least a part of this

I bought some skinless boneless chicken thighs today but when I went to open them later for cooking they reeked & I ended up tossing them, bc it's easier to stop buying meat there than taking rotten chicken back for a $4 refund.

I haven’t been to a “real” grocery store in a long time but my Aldi had little A1 steak sauce bottles for $4.79. Nearly five bucks. That’s the discount price the low cost grocer buys nearly expired bottles to sell them at.

my wife pointed it out when she came back from visiting her family but now I can’t help but notice how “porky” stuff like pork chops smells. I feel like I don’t remember it having that odor or taste, like there’s the joke it’s the “other white meat” cause it’s kinda bland/just takes on whatever it’s seasoned with but whenever I open a package it’s not like it smells off per se, I’ll still eat it, but there’s a unique aroma.
