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.
“So what’s going on here, just a routine owlectomy or a radical owlectomy?”
They’re going full Australian coffee. YouTube medium shorts.
But what if I don’t have any sake
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).
I’d make a Woody Allen joke but it just feels too soon… yi.
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.

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.
