    western values are all of those things that aren't present in the west, like you know equality between people and a lack of racism etc etc

    i feel like i could write a satirical article about "top 10 most important most important elections of our lifetime" and basically just list every previous election in order and that'd be a solid Onion bit

    how do I get paid, though

    macdonalds researchers determined the optimum way to eat the filet of fish is to eat a big bite of cheese and fish, and then another bite of fish to wash out the taste of that plastic cheese

    usually if we're doing fried chicken we just do a plain flour dredge with seasoned salt etc, honestly I wouldn't want to go harder and do an egg wash because they will eat the absolute fuck out of it anyway. Like I swear to god you put flour on chicken and fry it and people act like it's fucking crack

    Using the fish containers might be a good idea in the future, like I generally only have to dredge fried chicken or chicken for marsala or chicken piccata and none of the other containers are really a good size, like too big. I usually don't like to dredge like that though and do it the slow stupid manual way (grab a big handful of meat and manually toss it in flour) because even with shrinkwrap and a lid on a lexan I've gotten flour and shit all over before (and I'm not trying to get salmonella all over the kitchen), but I think the fish container lids seal more tightly

    even if you cloned one person IMO there would probably be enough random biological and experiential differences that at least some of them would be trans

    like I'm a cis dude and ignorant by default but I'm still pretty sure there's no "trans gene" yknow, yfeel me

    I'd have to mention my Chinese grandfather, who passed away before I was born. There's not much I know about him, but one thing I do know is that he apparently left China when the communists won the civil war. That's not exactly something to brag about on a Chinese citizenship application.

    you could brag about how you've learned from his mistake

    I told one of the older cooks I work with that I work really, really hard to do whatever I can to prep ahead for the next day and avoid needing him/the chef/sous chef to help out, and he said he knows and they notice that. So that's kind of reassuring since I constantly feel like I'm not pulling my own weight.

    I kinda feel worse again in the other direction though because the other other cook, this real young kid, the other guy basically didn't help him at all before he left today, and it's like, idk, I guess he's better at all this shit than me if he doesn't need any help. It was a pain in the ass menu too, like over a hundred pounds of wings. I literally don't know how this kid has the time to get shit done on his own, especially when I seem him do stuff like, take the time to trim fat off of chicken thighs before cutting them.

    how the fuck else are they going to have literally trillions of soldiers? gender ratios are generally even, you take a trillion dudes out of the gender economy and it's gonna skew that all crazy (and would mean IF ANYTHING even more characters in 40k should be female, because all the dudes are fucking dying in the Imperial Guard)

    I hate the fucking labor situation in food service, and it isn't even as bad as if I were working in a restaurant. But it really fucking sucks how nobody can ever call out or have a day off without someone else having to work like 10-12 ffucking hours or work 6 days in a fucking week

    I had to do dinner last night, but the sous chef is gone this weekend and there's some fucking bullshit open house bullshit so I'm here at 8am getting ready to feed 400 people after getting 4 hours of sleep on what's supposed to be my fucking day off

    I'm 5 episodes in but basically the premise is it's OP'S favorite brand of slop, an isekai, where a woman works herself to death and gets reincarnated as the daughter of a magical artificer. She ends up learning artificery from him and invents things like a hair dryer and waterproof fabric (i.e. 'plastic' but from slimes). She ends up engaged to her fellow apprentice, who immediately turns into a total tool, telling her she's "too tall" with heels on, criticizing her hair, her glasses, etc. Fuck this guy, what a nerd. Then he has the audacity to have an affair and leave her- but that's okay, he sucked anyway and she's got a sick ass artificer's tower to live in. He had to pay her reparations, lol get fucked loser! Also she meets a cute knight guy who actually doesn't suck, except he's all "😌 i could just be her friend for eternity 😌" so you know it's going to be a long and arduous journey until they fuckin kiss already (unless they don't and i've just been trolling myself) Im giving it 4 out of 5 slop stars so far

    It's slop, but it's good slop, IMO. Basically the premise of the show is one of your lightly-DnD based fantasy worlds where there's Skills and dungeons and such. The protagonist, Noor, wants to be an adventurer more than anything, so that he can travel and experience life and be useful to people. But after going through the implied-to-be-rigorous three month courses for every possible skill (which seems to be paid for by the state, btw! just sayin', big ups) he never manages to acquire a skill other than the most basic possible for every branch. To be licensed as an adventurer, you need "at least two *useful* skills." So he's denied, travels back home, and does the anime thing of training each and every one of those skills intensely for the next fifteen years. So, although he can't use an attack skill, he ends up able to parry over ten thousand swords simultaneously with a single breath. His "tiny flame," a magic barely even useful to conjure a candlelight, can summon a basketball sized orb of fire. Despite his prodigious ability with these skills, he ends up registered as a mere F rank adventurer, as a symbol of charity, basically. Calling him an adventurer while he's mostly a shit-shoveler (the subs call it mud, but, I mean...) Even after the Plot Happens, it turns out our MC is a 100% himbo that is entirely locked into his mentality of not being worthy. He defeats a minotaur, in this world a demon from the Abyss, but thinks it was "just a cow." He fights a Goblin Emperor, implied to be a magical bioweapon that could destroy a nation, thinking it's just your basic goblin. "A single goblin causes me this much trouble, I'm really not ready" he thinks. Numerous members of the royal family are in awe of his abilities, but he basically seems to not know what "royal family" means, lol. His opinion of his abilities are so low that when offered basically any reward he can think of, he says he's good, he doesn't need anything because he didn't really do much, making the king basically think he's a selfless saint Anyway, I have a low bar for entertainment, it really is some slop, but it's been real fun. Also although I'm only 5 episodes in if you're worried about it being grossly oversexualized or whatever it's got none of that nonsense, just a man learning to parry harder than anyone's ever parried before

    If i go to a doctor because of lumpy painful wrist syndrome and I think it's carpal bossing but idk, but also I injured my wrist like an idiot 7 years ago when i was uninsured, do I need to play dumb about that injury or else insurance will deny me or something because it's pre-existing and then i'll have to pay a million dollars to have a working hand? My natural inclination is to not lie about shit and it's relevant but also i don't have a million dollars if being like "so yeah i think i fucked up my wrist half a decade ago" is gonna fuck me on insurance? Idk i haven't seen a doctor in like 9 years

    [These little freaks right here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diploptera_punctata) produce a form of milk protein crystal, meaning in the future it might be possible to not just eat the bug, but milk the bug as well. HOWEVER, that raises the question, what is "bug milk"? Because if you go by the precedent of nut milks, it's a milk of ground and processed bug. But if you go by the precedent of animal milk, then it would refer to the milk FROM the bug Without clear rules dictating how to speak here, how is someone to know which product they're getting??

    idk I think that's kinda critical information, literally googled it to see if I can even vote for the PSL, it's not on their site from what I see. I think their front page should have a big infographic "you can vote for justice in these states" maybe I'm wrong but I'm also pretty sure I'm right and that that lack is a glaring omission yes I hit the "contact us" on their website, but what if they ignore me??

    Like you're presumably unconscious and at no point ever consent to be liable for the cost, and yet people get billed. It's like if someone just came and did a bunch of work on your house when you were asleep and then sent you a bill. Like, just wack. It's like if you passed out in Walmart and an employee put a cell phone in your pocket, took your money, then gave you a receipt, and people were like "hmm yes that's legit" America must be destroyed
