How would you even begin to explain some of this culture war nonsense to someone from even 25 years ago? “So why is this woman so upset about butter? Did they change the recipe or something?” “No, they just changed the packaging so there’s no longer a Native American” “So does the brand she’s switching to have a Native American on the package?” “No” “Then why switch?” “Because there’s a chance that changing the package made some other people happy and she wants to punish the company for that” “I wish I never came out of my coma”

It reminds me of how way back in the day here on the forums one of the most beautiful things that could ever happen was when someone unwittingly admitted to something horrifying while being completely oblivious to how horrific it was. (Stuff like “everyone’s experimented sexually with a pet at some point - Right?”) It’s much rarer today since the forums now trend older and the posting is much more disciplined. It’s not as fun on twitter since there isn’t the same expectation of not being a total idiot, but drat do I still love me a good self-own.

The only good thing is that person posting their theft on nextdoor so civil claims court can come knocking eventually. My favorite part is that this person admits to going around to 6 different stores in the middle of a pandemic. I also like that the possibility of just not getting flowers didn’t even occur to them.

I remember watching my mom peel and cut up fresh carrots only to steam them into mushy oblivion and wondering why we couldn’t just eat delicious raw carrots. The only answer I could ever really get out of her was some vague notion that if it isn’t cooked it doesn’t “count” as dinner. Edit: I’m not sure millennials were the ones that turned the tide on vegetables but given all the stupid stuff they’re blamed for I’ll let them have it. letthereberock has a new favorite as of 01:26 on May 26, 2020 |

It’s a weird comparison maybe - but GLs behavior reminds me of that guy 15 years ago who decided to make it his life’s goal to ruin a dry cleaning business after they lost his pants. He went so far with it he ended up ruining his own life, it’s a fascinating story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson_v._Chung There seems to be this condition some people get where some small, random perceived offense against them causes them to snap to a point where they can’t think about anything else.
