I'm beginning to think goons are really bad about being proper yuppie hosts and socializing.

keurigs are good for car dealerships and shared offices but americans have somehow turned the process that once only produced a compostable piece of paper filled with plants into one with a shitload of unrecyclable plastic and foil in the mix

I've eaten garbage for so long I wouldn't know what good food tasted like if my life depended on it. Subway is really good if your choices are: sloppy mcdonalds burger ancient sandwich from 7-11 and a corn dog making GBS threads into your own mouth

I bought a Keurig thinking I would make more coffee myself and save money and instead it has barely been used because it is 8000 degrees in NYC and I just drink ice coffee all god damned day the other problem is that I bought a giant variety pack of K-Cups with it and they come in two flavors: 1) hot water 2) the nastiest poo poo you've ever put into your mouth I did buy a reusable cup for my own grounds tho so maybe once it gets cooler I'll do that and buy a thermos or something. I don't know how y'all even have time to drink coffee in the morning at home, I drink it exclusively on the go or in the office because gently caress gettin up earlier also I didn't even buy a real Keurig I just got this thing: http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Coffee-BVMC-KG5-001-Powered-Technology/dp/B007JNNQ6Q because it was the cheapest option. maybe it makes worse coffee than a real keurig? idk

Remember when Subway used to have that weird-rear end way of cutting the bread, where they'd carve a divot out of the top of it and stick your couple slices of meat and vast cloud of moldy lettuce in and then replace the divot

gagelion posted:when did the internet decide being a whiny pretentious faglord was cool Contemporary strivers lack the tools with which people in the past have differentiated themselves from their peers: They live in a post-virtue, post-religion, post-aristocracy age. They lack the skills or inspiration to create something of genuine worth. They have been conditioned to find all but the most conventional and compromised politics worthy of contempt. They are denied even the cold comfort of identification with career, as they cope with the deadening tedium and meaninglessness of work by calling attention to it over and over again, as if acknowledging it somehow elevates them above it. Into this vacuum comes a relief that is profoundly rational in context—the self as consumer and critic. Given the emptiness of the material conditions of their lives, the formerly manic competitors must come to invest the cultural goods they consume with great meaning. Meaning must be made somewhere; no one will countenance standing for nothing. So the poor proxy of media and cultural consumption comes to define the individual. In many ways, cultural products such as movies, music, clothes, and media are the perfect vehicle for the endless division of people into strata of knowingness, savvy, and cultural value. These cultural products have no quantifiable value, yet their relative value is fiercely debated as if some such quantifiable understanding could be reached. They are easily mined for ancillary content, the TV recaps and record reviews and endless fulminating in comments and forums that spread like weeds. (Does anyone who watches Mad Men not blog about it?) They are bound up with celebrity, both real and petty. They can inspire and so trick us into believing that our reactions are similarly worthy of inspiration. And they are complex and varied enough that there is always more to know and more rarefied territory to reach, the better to climb the ladder one rung higher than the person the next desk over.

I don't know how y'all even have time to drink coffee in the morning at home, I drink it exclusively on the go or in the office because gently caress gettin up earlier I'm gunna be the goon but FRENCH PRESS. you can put grounds in it the night before you go to sleep, put some water in an electric kettle. then when you wake up, turn on the kettle and pour it into the french press, by the time you're dressed/cleaned up you should be able to drink it with some time to spare. (i still toss it in a thermos and drink it while walking to the train)

Jimmy Johns #16 is pretty good. The bread is bad and iceberg lettuce is a pointless vegetable, but turkey and bacon and mayonnaise go well together.
