It’s EA. Anyone who’s surprised by this either is an idiot or hasn’t been paying attention.

You have no idea how infuriating the truth of this meme is.

On the one hand, I can tell the sarcasm. On the other hand, I’ve seen worse go woosh.

Recognizing the reality of the situation, calling it out as a shit sandwich, and encouraging others to act in the way that reduces harm the most with an actual chance to succeed, is not cognitive dissonance.

The version that I want as current year me? Burn the entire US government to the ground and rebuild it from scratch because it’s rotten to the core.

100% of republicans and 99% of democrats should be in prison (AOC, Bernie, and Ilhan Omar seem to be okay). The 3rd parties that currently exist in the US are either insignificant, beholden to the same bullshit as republicans, or both.

Given how people have reacted to my political commentary in the past, I will not be engaging in this thread any further.

So seamless that I didn’t even notice

We have ai that isn’t intelligent, hoverboards that have wheels, and other examples that I’ve forgotten that would really help me make my point.

Corporations have observed popular science fiction and have turned these ideas into marketing slogans.

google can get bent

Is it culturally anachronistic? probably. Do I care? fuck no, because it’s delicious

I should have known better than to click that.

what the fuck are you doing?

my dude

no

Speaking as the whitest dick I know, good tacos are fucking easy. You don’t have to do this to yourself. Hell, if you really don’t want to cook, jimmy dean sells a bag that you can throw in a skillet and then you just put that shit on a tortilla add cheese and you’re done.

Gods fuck.

ok. Go to the fucking grocery store and get some shit.

Get a tube of ground meat. It can be beef or turkey or sausage, don’t care, go with whatever you feel like, it will be delicious. Get a back of tater tots from the frozen section, this will be your potatoe. Get some pre-diced veg, onion and bellpepper. Cheese. A jar of diced garlic in oil. And here’s the secret bit: panko. Trust me.

One fucking pan. In goes the tots, they can defrost while you make yourself a stiff drink, I recommend a wellerman but you do you. When you start your second drink, drop the tube of meat in there and mix that bitch up. Add some of dat garlic, and if you think you’ve added too much, add just a bit more. Drink the second drink while you wait for that to cook, but don’t forget to stir it the entire time.

If you want to add extra seasonings or sauces for flavor, now’s the time. It’s good without, but you can add whatever you want to make it whatever you want. Depending on what I’m feeling, I’ll add Head Country seasoning with barbaque sauce. Essence of Emerils with spicy sauce is also good. There’s a greek seasoning mix that I like but can’t remember the name of that’s also good, but I haven’t found a sauce to pair with it yet.

When the meat is done, add the veg and panko.

The secret of the panko is that it soaks up the juices but stays crunchy. The juice is where the flavor is, and that juice will drip out of the taco if it’s not held in somehow. Panko. Magic from japan.

A little time and a little stirring later, turn the heat down and slap some of that mush on a tortilla, add some cheese, and eat that delicious shit.

There will be leftovers, and when you reheat some the next day, don’t do it in the microwave, whip that skillet back out and add an egg to that bitch!

I can say that my standards dropped significantly after being homeless for a while a few years back. The place I’m living in now just doesn’t get hot water in the shower. The depression certainly isn’t helping either.

I’ve got one through name.com and I pay I think $15/year for. Not really sure what extra features I’m getting, I don’t do much with it.

That would be so cool if only it helped me get away from microsoft owned products

Fuck do I miss my first gen Droid. A physical slide out keyboard that was also a switch between portrait and landscape view. I hate auto gyro rotation with a passion.

In the US, a car is a necessity not a luxury. Public transportation barely exists in some cities. Bike/scooter transportation is a death sentence.

Speaking as someone who’s living car free and has been hit 6 times in the past 4 years, ask me how I know.

Yeah, and all he had to do to maintain that image was keep his mouth shut and let the pr people talk for him, but no that wasn’t good enough for his ego.

Average Joe is in debt and can barely afford rent and groceries and insurance and medical bills, and car payments and you get the idea.

There’s not much left to sacrifice.

Part of the reason why I hate going to bars. Another part is that the drinks are overpriced. I can get a decent handle and drink for a week for the same price as 3 drinks at a bar. No, the shitty music and oppressive atmosphere does not make the experience worth it.

Regardless of which is better, I had mine configured exactly how I wanted it and they changed it without my consent and broke my system because of it in a way that I previously thought wasn’t possible.

It would have been fine if it was a setting that I could enable and configure myself to my liking.

yeah. Brain likes to think that it’s still 2011.
