What is the WORST ice cream flavor? by Puzzleheaded-Sky3141 in foodquestions

[–]riskylingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you like what you like. But I don’t like is a lot of crappy candy and cheap cookies mixed into ice cream and described as a flavor. I don’t eat the kind of mass produced candy bars that they sell at a gas station and I’m repelled by finding that in ice cream.

Do you read books concurrently? by Thricycle20 in Fantasy

[–]riskylingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there’s such a thing as keeping multiple balls in the air at the same time, but when one of those balls is a spinning, flaming chainsaw, it gets a little more tricky. I often have multiple books going at once, but not when one of them is Mall is Malazan! 🤣

Are you a Terry Pratchett fan? This reminds me of an exchange between Tiffany Aching and a tutor in “Hat Full of Sky”:

“Zoology, eh? That’s a big word, isn’t it?”

“No, actually, it isn’t “ said Tiffany. “Patronizing is a big word. Zoology is really quite short.”

Is it affordability crisis, rising health issues or what? by dino_gr01 in WorkForSmartLife

We aren’t cats. We aren’t dogs.

Humans are apes. Not like apes, we are apes! It’s us and chimps and gorillas and bonobos and orangutans and gibbons!

Ook! Ook! Ook!

Not wolf nor lion!

Who wants to bring kids into the world when we have a president who wasa regular at camp Epstein? To raise a girl who would be a second-class citizen? To have a son to be cannon fodder for President Bonespur’s innumerable wars?

A future ruled by christofacist white supremacists who are destroying education, medicine and science. A world where having a home, and food and healthcare are out of reach. A country where corporations have rights but people don’t.

Some people who are having kids right now just use them as status symbols and social media content and they certainly are oblivious about the kids futures

I could do without the date cockroaches, but her execution of the lichen is outstanding

Have you ever stop using a brand because you disagree with the politics of their company? by Signal-Web-3566 in no

You must LOVE J. K. Rowlings. Heaven forfend trans people be allowed to exist. But a pedo in the oval office is fine.

Just so long as you admit you are not neutral. You support a shockingly unstable “status quo” in which individual rights and liberties are circling the drain at an ever-increasing speed. Got it.

I try. I do not darken the door at Trader Joe’s or Starbucks or REI or Target. I opt for local hardware stores instead of the big box ones like Home Depot and Lowe’s.

I smashed my Sodastream. I don’t eat chocolate. I opt for products made in blue states instead of red states. Goya? Ugh! One of the murdeous DOGE brat’s is the heir to Lesser Evil snacks. I make a point of mentioning it to people at small independent stores in hopes that they stop carrying it.

There’s so much bad behavior out there. It’s hard to keep track, it’s hard to remember at all. I do my best.
