Yeah I’m not going to pay $27 for one bottle of pataday allergy eye drops when you can get a two pack off Amazon for slightly less. I gladly suffered for a day.
Either way someone’s getting that doo-doo feces thrown all over the walls, the floor, the ceiling, and it will stink so bad
Because GET BACK TO WORK
Dying for all the oil companies at once from weapons your own country funded is a patriot’s wet dream
Federal holidays can be observed by private companies, but then who will run the movie theaters on Christmas for us to go watch CGI robots fight each other? Or serve us fast food on Labor Day? Etc etc. It’s stupid.
Ah, the John Waters Special. Maybe the only man who can still pull it off.
National holidays don’t apply to private companies, apparently.
It’s at least three being drowned out by many more loud and repeatedly amplified voices. Maybe just three. But at least three is newsworthy!
Crumbl is as artificial as it gets. Test-marketed and focus-grouped to death, run through social media, some kind of awful amalgamation of online recipes, run it back through focus groups etc. etc. They’re not selling a cookie, they’re selling marketing and hype, and it’s gross enough to keep those alive for five days.
Nah man, you want New Coke. Catch the wave.
Better back that colonoscopy screening up earlier then. I think it’s recommended at age 45 in the US, but I’m guessing insurance won’t want to cover screenings at 5-year intervals for an extra 20 years because money, dear boy.
They’re going full Australian coffee. YouTube medium shorts.
Tl;dr “What if we took some bullshit from over HERE and moved it over THERE”
With that much toilet paper, you’d be silly to stop wiping when it turns red!
Yeah I think you meant to hit my comment here. I didn’t say it wasn’t a “pretty good life.” We’re sort of making points past each other at this point, but the gist is that 1. Dagwood is correct, you could get a decent house on minimum wage etc., however 2. I believe the notion of the middle class is a myth pushed to keep us struggling to work harder and to flatten diversity for ideological reasons (see my first comment).
Man, people tried harder against Salman Rushdie for $6 million.
I have read Hell’s Angels, and while Hunter S. is always interesting, I wouldn’t really trust him to get his facts straight on anything except Nixon or college football. Blue collar work and trades are not necessarily what you’d call “middle class” in terms of performativity. You can have money, but middle class is about that idyllic myth being pushed. You can always have people living outside of the myth, but the Hell’s Angels lifestyle on the road is not for the 99% of people who are cultured to need the suburban 9-5er. Adorno writes extensively about the Culture Industry and being endlessly cheated out of promises that the (entertainment) media sells us, like as previously mentioned, sitcoms showing what a family ought to look like and their means. Also, fuck Reagan.
The middle class has always been a myth to get people to work harder and for a homogenized society where everyone’s got that “all-American” family with a white picket fence. We can once again blame fucking Henry Ford. See Ford’s sociological department for the literal enforcement of this ideal in exchange for his touted “$5 a day!” lure. Company people came around to your house to check what you were eating, how you were dressed, how your kids were doing in school, and if you were an immigrant, how assimilated you were becoming and if it was acceptably quick enough.
Ron and Fez. A wealth of entertainment.
