to be less snippy I have thought long and hard about my stance on this re: the immigrant labor population and just trying to make a dime in this shitty world, but this isn't about denying the labor in the first place, it's about following a regulation that is purely there for human safety reasons and not a barrier to access (which is, imo, buying a 700 dollar phone and a 1500 dollar bike)

see i think that's nonsense. the act of getting from the door of the takeout joint to the curb/street is entirely negligible in this. there's no way getting a running start on a sidewalk makes all this go faster

I have learned the hard way that it is common in France to replace the paneer (and cream) with laughing cow cheese in Indian dishes, obviously to cater to local palates. E.g. see French recipe for palak paneer below that tells you to peel & melt 200g of laughing cow. š¶ pic.twitter.com/GYHbmeVGnT— Laurel Chor (@laurelchor) March 18, 2020

worst thing I've ever eaten was a microwaved burger from a stall in a bus station in prague. the meat was of the grade-f variety you got in school canteens in the 80s and had a distinctive taste of body odour, the bun was in parts soggy and in parts chewy and stale, the lettuce was warm, the mayonnaise was see-through. I still ate it.

I'm assuming the Italian-inspired McCafe in the Warsaw airport that served mostly pasta and pizza was actually fairly ingredient-authentic and I kind of regret not trying it. But.. McDonalds italian concept restaurant is still kind of a mindfuck for me

McDonald's in Guangzhou airport was a joke, I went there at 8.30am and not only did they not have breakfast, they also didn't have burgers, just chicken wings and ice cream cones. The one at Beijing airport had burgers at least, and next door was a Kenny Rodgers Roasters which only sold bad chinese food, it reminded me of one of the franchises in idiocracy or something where the function has changed but it still has the same name.

Dismayed by seeing people joking about killing youtuber's pets. One was an old lady who was very upset about it.
One of my favorite models made a video about her son dying in her arms and 18 people downvoted it.
And people who send sex worker's nude/sex photos to their families are lousy too.

Someone in my building insists on propping up unclaimed post *vertically* on a high shelf so that you have to both crane your neck and turn your head sideways to read the name on it to see if it's new or the same post that was previously placed horizontally. There's a lot of NHS correspondance at the moment for people no longer at the address so y'know I do keep checking them. The absolute fuck is wrong with people?
Of course this seems far too petty to say something about but with my residual vertigo it's unpleasantly dizzy making.

I guess also metalcore shows.

Bubble blowing isn't nearly as bad as grown ass adults who loudly snap and pop their gum in an open office environment, definitely disgusting savages.

There used to be this giant guy at every metal gig I went to - like 6ft 5, built like a wombat - and any time anyone got remotely out of line, he'd appear and essentially bounce them out of the pit, making it abundantly clear more was coming if they didn't chill out. He was a (big, fuck off) guardian angel.
