this keeps coming up, and this is the correct thread for it.

if an older (or younger) generation has something they think is really good, why would they get mad at someone for not knowing about it? if it's that great, send a link. why are you scowling? why is that the reaction? tell me about your 2010s show. tell me about that 1950s hit album. there's lots of cool stuff out there waiting to be shared! HoW cOuLd YoU nOt KnOw ThIs ThInG? the same way people outside my age group are less aware of 90s slop, but you don't see me clutching my pearls over it.

"shellac or carnuba wax," what you're going to see on additional apple ingredients. they'll never say which, only that it could be either, with a non-committal hand wobble. gross. who wants shellac on their apple skins? i don't want it on my candy either. i feel like they should do away with words and terms like "shellac" and "confectioner's glaze" and obfuscating codes on consumer-facing ingredients, and call it what it is: 'insect byproduct.' 'lac bug resin secretions with ~40% insect fragments.'

"we can't do that! it would hurt our image!"

i should add that i support replacing inefficient meats with bug protein. just stop lying with culinary technobabble.

I had to sit through a 3 hour city council meeting again.

There was more angry data center stuff. Democratic socialist were there too. Obnoxious group of people.

Also Geese. 🪿🪿 🪿

Environmentalist including the "Democratic Eco Socialist" were there.

https://ecosocialists.dsausa.org/

They were advocating for the geese. They wanted the city to stop gassing the geese and instead build a habitat for them. Meanwhile the city is literally having a housing shortage. The DSA oppose building more housing too by the way.

'Climate Action Group' "Biggest Gen Z political group in NJ" oh fuck you too.

The leader of the DSA group was wearing that Arab scarf.

We didn't say hi to each other because I removed him from Facebook after he called a friend of mine a racist. Also he was just reckless on social media. He also yelled at me at a different event recently. My girlfriend took a photo because she thought we were having a serious political discussion. Nope! I was getting yelled at by a democratic socialist about a data center..


Fuck those scarves too.

One lady was advocating for the geese and she said "the geese are human they have feelings they are living things." But she caught herself mid sentence about the human part but kept going.

Found a hypo going through my shoe (laterally so it didnt touch my foot). Went to pull it out and it scratched me, not enough to go through every later of skin and no blood, but made a mark.
Too late for any urgent care so wanted to be safe and went to ER to have someone give their expert opinion.

Now Im on PEP for a month.

Will follow up with the bills, but Id expect to pay about $3k for this.
