I got a vasectomy as a way of dealing with it.

2 years ago yogurt was 40 cents, today it’s 80. Bacon was $3 a pound, today the cheapest is $4.50 unless it’s on sale. Frozen pizzas were $4, $5 on the top end, now they’re $6-$15… for a frozen pizza. Ramen was 20 cents, today it’s 55. String cheese was $4, today it’s $7. A small bag of shredded cheese was $4, now it’s $8. Cereal was $3, today it’s $5 and you get less. Have you seen how expensive a bag or Doritos is? A small bag costs more than what a party size bag used to cost, and that’s true for all chips.

I have dozens of items that are out of reach today that were common fare 3 years ago. Milk and eggs have come back down, yes, but not the rest of it.

Oh damn, I’ve been wondering why to do with my extra box of stuffing.

I’m gonna try this this week. Sounds tasty.

1lb ground beef 2 cans sweet corn 2 cans of kidney beans Two cans diced tomatoes 1 can tomato paste Taco seasoning (I buy McCormicks from Costco so I have no idea how many packets)

In a large pot brown the beef Once browned open all cans and put them in the pot, juice and all Heat to simmer and add taco seasoning with your heart

Serve with a dollop of sour cream and/or some shredded cheese on top

Taco soup

Or be me as a kid

White bread Put ketchup on bread Put Kraft single on top Put in the oven under the broiler until the cheese melts and the edge of the bread crisps Eat it over the sink in order to not kill your mother by disrespecting the plates with that garbage Realize you’re still hungry and make 3 more

Yea, this isn’t news

Mine sucks because it’s the best job I’ve ever had. Planned on staying as long as they’d keep me (just under 5 years it turns out) and had no plans at all to even poke around at other roles.

The silver lining is I’ll prob get a nice pay increase since I’ve been pretty underpaid at this place as it’s an NPO.

Reminds me of the time when I worked in a sprint retail store and one day we came in and the power was cut, there was no internet, and all our logins that we could access from our mobile devices worked.

We were told there was a clerical error and all was good.

Two months later when they were shutting down our store they admitted they were planning to shut down the store and were just two months early with the logistics.

Two nights ago I had a random meeting with the CEO, who I have a really good relationship with, added to my calendar. Thought nothing of it.

I entered the zoom call and said ‘so am I getting fired?’

The answer was yes.

Awkward silence ensued for a minute until they started telling me about the severance package.

Side note: I can try to negotiate that severance a bit right?

This is fuckin rad. I miss the hell out of my Treo. I played this game so damn much in my downtime.

I’d rather you not vote for a platform that would likely make my existence as a trans person illegal. Thanks.

Yea. This is repugnant, but I’m gonna hold my nose and vote Biden anyway.

I’m about to turn 40, and 27 has proven to be too young for me. The folks I’ve had the most success with have been 30+.

At 30, I’d think 25+ is the spot to be in.

👆thats me

No I don’t think so. It’s just automatic when interacting with lemmy from mastodon as far as I know.

It’s the same as twitter, when you reply to a tweet you @ the person you’re replying to.

They’re here from mastodon. The format looks wonky here as a result.

Tried this with my dog but pants always fall off her butt.

A little fin, shoulder pads, and a bit more junk in the trunk.

Don’t get too excited.

Something worse will come and fill the void.

Our universal left, comrade.
