I'm imagining Skinner's VA delivering the line "whirring computer noises" rather than an actual sound effect

Waco’s 50-Year-Old Korean-American Diner famous for its “Oriental Fries”

Sounds awesome tbh. Bhaji, tempura, etc are all among my favourite foods.

Edit: am I a bad person for chuckling at the phrase "this fryer here does not stop for the Orientals" because I absolutely did

Yes, doing anti-homeless sweeps - which often result in homeless people losing all their things including the things they need to survive in harsh weather - is going to make things better.

He's literally a member of the democrats. He is doing the things democrats do and will continue to do the things democrats do, because he has joined the democratic party. You can appreciate the few positive things he may be able to achieve and be pleased about the good positions he holds, but you absolutely do not need to defend him over instantly selling out and going back on his word. Americans (and much of the rest of the world to be fair) DESPERATELY need to start holding their politicians to some kind of standard! Seriously, please just have... SOME expectations of your elected officials. This is a bad thing both because it shows how few principles he has and because it is an evil, inhuman, cruel practise that he is reinstating.

Cost of living is up in the US. Paychecks are not. And workers are not OK.

Not an expert but I believe there's a handy-dandy apparatus for that!

They seem to have stopped doing the slurpy-noise pull back the curtain running joke and that to me is a good change tbh

Work is sending me over the edge. Corporate jobs are so pointless

See when I was a designer (structural/mechanical drafter, mostly bulk materials handling systems like conveyors and piping), I kinda loved it when I designed something that never got made. I still got paid, still got to solve all the neat little puzzles that go into a design, BUT I didn't have to suffer any anxiety that I made an error that might cost time, money, or, god forbid, blood! Win-win-win! Now part of that is how atomized we all were anyway, how little connection we had even to the projects that did get built, but even so.

Lmao! The Germans are so racist that now they want chinese immigrants out of Africa as well.

Blakey [he/him] @hexbear.net 6d ago

How do you even get to a place, as a German, where you care about the ratio of ethnic Germans to ethnic Chinese in Namibia. Like it is obviously extremely, deeply racist but at the same time it's almost difficult to perceive it as such because of how fucking irrelevant it is. What's even your concern? It's another country on another fucking continent!
