Grimace is cooking today

I have a friend who makes ranch and blue cheese sauces, they are delicious. I still attack his palette because he won't eat tomatoes or seafood and he's afraid of needles. Seperate but baby related issue

 

Homemade ranch you get from a pizza shop is so much better than anything bottled you buy from the store.

 

Ranch bad
Blue cheese bad
Tomatoes great
Seafood great
Needles are... sometimes necessary

 

I live in an incredibly small area so there's not really many options for me to find like, artisinally made goods like this. I wish I had more options when it comes to stuff like this

 

Covered in tattoos but giving blood freaks me out and I almost pass out.

 

I can eat a wheel of blue cheese with no digestive issues. I call it the perfect lunch

 

all sauces have beauty

 

I'm sorry I think it's fucked up to steal my blood like a vampire

 

Self checkouts shouldn't have a small number item limit, you should need to pass a technology test to prove that you can efficiently check out. Then you get a little card and you swipe it so that you can use the machine. If you fail, you go to the slow lanes.

 

Our self checkouts are not item limited. There should be a little discount system that rewards you for fast processing like time trials on racing games

 

Don’t like ketchup, love a good pb&j. Uncrustables are a great depression snack

 

I am the best self checkout artist.

 

The self checkout robot is a little binch sometimes

 

A lot of that certain style of early 2000's era documentaries ( Like Michael Moore and Morgan Spurlock) don't hit as hard today, not because of their message, but because with that filmmaking style watching them with 2024 eyes they just feel like mediocre longform YouTube content, and not really like films.

Like the " I eat nothing but McDonalds for 30 days challenge" is something a lower tier Mr. Beast imitator would do that would get 5 mili views and be forgotten about in a week, and that shit was all over Blockbusters and a major cultural moment in 2004 for months

 

Moore is a lot better than Spurlock. Almost every claim he made in Super Size Me was disproven.

But yes, overall that style became really grating. Bill Maher did a documentary called Religulous that was in the same style. Ironically, a lot of FOX News shows tried to ape it too.

 

I remember thinking religulous was so cool back in college and now I’d rather gouge my eyes out then watch anything with Maher

 

I remember watching Super Size Me in 12 grade health class, and everyone just talking about how hungry for McDonalds it made them. Me and my buddy got McDoubles right after school ended. Mission accomplished Spurlock. That shit was like DARE for fast food.

 

I thought a lot of Bill Maher, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris back in the day. I woke up one day and realized how silly it all was.

 

Yeah I remember for a long time Dinesh D'Souza tried to make his whole career as "the conservative Michael Moore" and kept making that style of doc years after they became passe well into the mid 2010's.

 

There are definitely documentaries that suffer from wanting to be video essays before the format had been established. They end up forcing narrative into what should have just been an argument and would have been stronger if it was presented as such.

 

Love a binch

 

Ngl thought he'd be in it longer!

 

YouTube video essays suffer even more because so many of them try to do the Mr. Plinkett style of having some absurd side-story to cut to in case they think people are getting bored.

 

the biggest weakness of YouTube video essays is that when an expert in a field starts a channel they have a well of opinions and knowledge to share and that often starts to run dry after a few years just as they have built up their video essays skills.

 

Remember that youtube movie Zeitgeist from like 2007?
