That's the best approach.. get them observing and helping ASAP, so you never have to buy "Help, My Apartment Has A Kitchen!".

Even if they hate doing it they'll know what the process looks like.

Congratulations on successfully navigating the Stygian labyrinth that is sports viewing.. almost like every game is on its own streaming service.

Longer commutes, more stress in general, and wage stagnation, so even if you've got two wage-earners in the household you may not be afloat.

Not to mention those folks looking to turn public schools into state-funded segregation academies.. they don't have much interest in Home Ec.

Killing Others and taking their stuff?

I'll take sports over that any day of the week.

Even American football, if it comes down to it.

Finally watched Novocaine.

Amber Midthunder and name-dropping Mother Mayo?

I may have to purchase this one.

Home economics appears to have been a casualty of No Child Left Behind and the siren song of consumerism.

As my wife would say, naughty.

This is EXACTLY the sort of crossover of my fandoms that keeps me on Bluesky.

Wait, he's Crow?

Thought it was Crow scouts who led Custer to Greasy Grass.

"If you can't be wealthy you're less of a human being" sort of thing.

Thus the Pauper's Oath and the limits on food.

Goes against the Just World Fallacy.

Coffee is for closers and pizza is for those without sin.. and in some people's minds poverty is the most cardinal of sins.

Ray Aune @kerthulhu75.bsky.social · 3h

That and/or people buy a 0.99 pizza then get 7-10 bucks worth of stuff to add to it.. pepperoni, extra cheese, a packet of lunch meat..

Nice.
Probably none too healthy, but then neither is starvation.

Ray Aune @kerthulhu75.bsky.social · 3h

They don't call them food deserts for nothing.

And they're not supposed to shop.. they're supposed to go somewhere out of sight, kill some indigenous folks and do the subsistence farmer/gatherer thing on stolen land.

Or die quietly and not use resources that belong to their 'betters'.

Totinos death discs (party pizzas) are 2 bucks or so here, so I can only imagine what they're like elsewhere.

Just World Fallacy in action.

That's funny, I was just explaining to the dog (humansplaining, I know) about how humans take entirely too much interest in how the first two letters of November are 'No'.

She agreed with me, but I think she was trying to work me into giving her the chicken breast in the fridge.

Dog logic.

Clearly I need to up my hubby game.

I've had the Fire Flower track from Yoshi's Egg in my head for 30+ years, but I'd have to go with Final Fantasy Legend.

Wore myself out chopping veg but if the crockpot's gonna be ready for supper it needs to be done.

Yet another crockpot of meat and a ton of veggies representing a lot of today's spoons.

This would be why I hesitate so much on the Heinlein biographies.

I don't need to see the man as a saint but I don't need to know every time he took nude pictures of another man's wife or spiked Isaac Asimov's drink.

I am kind of hard-pressed to think of an equally opportune time for the heist as regards occupancy.

Things look different when the building is full of people and the construction crews are on site.

That's what happens when their idea of 'multicultural diversity' is Norwegians, Germans AND Swedes in the same Lutheran church basement.

And which 'iconic manliness' actor are we giving cancer to this time?

Ray Aune @kerthulhu75.bsky.social · 14h

Fits very well.
