Just had Thankgiving with a bunch of folks in their mid 70s; my evening was done at 9 p.m. and I am 100% sure they are going to be up until midnight. I felt like lying down on the bed in the guest room

Something I’ve talked about before is that a real class divide in this country is over what percentage of the time you’re on the clock that you’re Actually Working. Many retail jobs are close to 100%, sometimes more with wage theft, while I’ve seen office jobs under 10%
Not to call out my wonderful partner who I love but she works corporate and we did the math and she works under 28 hours a week. She did half a shift at a retail store for the holiday and nearly died

This. In fact, one of the reasons I disappeared into the kitchen is to get away from you. (The exceptions I can count on one hand, and I’ll say “come talk to me”.)
I also don’t need company. You don’t have to talk to me I need to talk to myself 😭

yes this is exactly how it is at my local muni, where I can buy only white flour wine and Trump vodka
The rub is, the government would provide what the government wants you to have, not what you want or what is nutritionally sufficient and certainly no ethnically preferred foods. Think white flour, sugar, process cheese, canned potatoes, dried milk, etc. Sounds like Russia in the 1950's.

The thunderbird is just as much of a symbol of resistance against chatgpt as it is against pipelines.
And honestly ppl should be on the front lives fighting data centers just as they are on the Frontline to resist pipelines.

I don't eat fruit so I am disinclined to all fruit pies and prefer candy or squash/yam pies. (Pecan is a candy pie.)
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

If you don't have a go-to pumpkin pie recipe, Festal's is way better than Libby's. More eggs (due to the slightly drier canned pumpkin) and includes nutmeg (although all spices still have to be increased).
