  • For real, I’m always impressed when home cooks can get it done cheaper than restaurants (who are buying ingredients at wholesale, cook everything in batches, etc). Most can’t. People look at me like I’m crazy when I say this, but there’s a reason working class people get so much takeout: it’s cheaper than cooking, when you factor in the time spent cooking.





  • I mean, I was vocally against Biden (in 2020) in a sense of, “this guy is way too conservative on Israel and will probably lose re-election as a result if the conflict there heats up.” Not a very satisfying “I told you so.” I still voted for him in 2020, but I told this to everyone at the time, and with hindsight I was absolutely right. I still voted for Harris in ‘24, but I wasn’t surprised when she lost after all the Liz Cheney/“most lethal military” shit. The job of politicians is to convince voters to support them, not to ignore them, and Biden/Harris were completely out of touch with their own base. This is not the voters’ or Macklemore’s fault, it is Biden and Harris’s fault. Can’t even blame Trump for this one.

    I live in the USA, and I used to deliver food. I would always use people’s knockers if their door had them. 9/10 times they were like “what the hell is that sound? Ohhh the knocker! I’ve lived here X years and no one’s ever used that before!” became probably my favorite part of an otherwise boring job 😂




  • It sounds like you don’t know very much about how the pyramids were built, and aren’t interested in learning the truth. The workers who built the Pyramids engaged in some of the first labor actions in recorded history–they went on strike, multiple times, and were successful in securing higher pay and better working conditions. Many of the workers who worked on the tombs of kings were highly respected craftsmen in their own right, who often were given permission to build their own tombs nearby; in many cases, only a little bit less grand than the tombs built for the pharoahs themselves.

    The Ancient Egyptians definitely practiced slavery, and also, they didn’t use slaves to build the pyramids. The slaves were doing things like growing food for the people who built the pyramids.
