They're fine and tasty, but you have to treat them as basically a Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Treat than yogurt


31g of sugar for 8z of yogurt is a dessert, not a morning nutritional side

if you want the best yogurt, Trader Joes sells bomb greek(or non greek) plain yogurt that's loving delicious and not basically a fat american ice cream treat with the pretense of being "healthy" because it's yogurt


drat! I'll stick with siggi's.

I work at a little hole in the wall place in the middle of nowhere. People who contribute have offices, and the drones work in what we quietly call "the bullpen." I work in the plant so whatever.

Also moustaches are way dated even by retro-ironic timeline and I hope they go away as a marketing thing along with mediocre local craft beer. And also a friendly reminder that Ben and Jerry's is a division of Unilever, a massive, probably-evil corporation.

The "Tart Cherry" is fuckin' excellent. All the other flavors I've tried have, indeed, been too sweet.

same, at least something like the United or lame hrblock stuff wasn't as bad as god drat black walls with garbage smilies. i hate that they decorate it so much cause the actual natural station is kinda nice.

black walls are loving ugly and add in all the hobos that are right under that and its just depressing

On the bright side its going to make for easy dystopia setting for films. Take oppressive black walls with artificial smileys and like icons, add barrel fire and hobos gathered around it

Then you just need to add one sci fi guard ambivalent towards their suffering guarding the 1st class transit

Putting actual ingredients on food products. Soy will be patented to the point where each genome will be grown as MK1344-B, rather than last-year's MK1344-A, but will get a more marketable name like "All Natural Soy"

Lately every street/subway ad by some tech startup is done in some atrocious, simple graphic style. They all look the same and it always looks like who ever was in charge couldn't be bothered to hire a designer to do it, rather they have their programmer poo poo it out on their off day. Lyft is the latest culprit guilty of this and I can't wait for this trend to die in a fire.




style tends to fluctuate between poles of extreme minimalism and extreme ornamentation, but graphic design has been hovering consistently around minimalism for a while and probably won't shift away from it significantly in the near future.

Corporations will be directly running for office before too long, and some people will cheer for it if they have nominally progressive social platforms (because that's currently better for their profit margins).

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.
