    The Boomers legitimately do not comprehend that they largely did not teach their children how to cook.

    They’ll complain about it, and belittle you for not knowing how, whine about your door dash habit… but it never registers in their neuron scented lead compartments that they were the ones who failed to pass on skills like cooking, and values like frugality.

    But I mean that’s par for the course. Narcissists elect a narcissist rapist president, that’s your problem to deal with now bucko, just accept it, life’s tough, blah blah blah I’m completely allergic to acountability, the world exists to worship me, wheee!

      Eh, I taught myself. You have to learn to take care of yourself at some point, whether it’s fair or not.

      Especially with the internet and youtube, there’s very little excuse not to learn how to cook.

      A lot of us grew up with shitty parents, had to figure out survival on our own as teenagers. I don’t blame them. People fuck up tons of important things, especially being parents. They’re just other irresponsible people that don’t have their own lives figured out. You win by being better than they were, figuring out your own shit and living better lives. Sometimes you just have to get out at 18 and figure shit out for yourself. It’s not the end of the world and people have been doing that for a very long time.

    When will rich people learn do with less?

    We’ve got billionaires and mega millionaires stinking up the place like dragons sitting on their hoards. Seems like there are some easy fixes that don’t involve turnips.

            People like to meme on the Logitech controller but that was honestly one of the smarter decisions made in that sub. Decade of development, hundreds of plugins, thousands of support threads for integration issues. It honestly sounds better than a custom control solution that probably would not get enough test cycles to check every possibility.

    I do cook basically everything at home from scratch, it is way cheaper, but turnips? They’re flavorless and gross and frankly not that cheap why buy a turnip when you could buy a beet or carrot or potato for the same price? f tier vegetable

      I dunno about where you live, but price per weight turnips are usually the most expensive vegetable even when in season. And they still manage to taste meh when roasted and seasoned

      I’m so mad that oxtail, cow tongue, and skirt steak cost the same as the rest of the beef. Chicken hearts are still cheap as hell but I don’t like chicken hearts.
