They gotta be heavily seasoned, real easy to underdo the spice and then they just taste like raw tater

I used to eat the heck out of the crinkle-cut variety of these as a kid. Swimming in vinegar and with a lethal dose of pepper on top.

It does help. My day was pretty rough with my food struggles but they got taken care of. My computer has a wonky screen now since I dropped it but is still perfectly functional. Things are gonna move on, I definitely had my moment of collapsing & feeling I couldn't take it but picked myself up.

Deleted my last reply because I saw you got delivery. So sorry, I understand if it helps.

Our collective survival requires hope. Don't lose it.

What I like about being around my partner & living with him is that he's probably the person who pus the least demand on me to exist in any way other than as myself. I can be myself & move naturally without having to worry about almost any of the rules that would keep me from feeling free.

This is really important to keep your political discourse free of ableism. "Psychotic" is the descriptor of a disabling mental state that severely socially marginalizes those who experience it, not an emphatic negative descriptor. Psychopathy is an incredibly rare, actual personality disorder.

This was needed elsewhere, so a quick important distinction: From Greek: • psychosis: mind-condition • in psychosis: temporarily disconnected from reality • psychopathy: mind-suffering or - disease • a psychopath: a person with a persistent antisocial personality disorder they’re unrelated

Life is really too much for me. Constantly unbearable, constant last straw moments. Always getting broken & absolutely clueless why I didn't break yet & wondering when that's gonna happen.

I dropped my computer & now it has some messed up glitches with the screen but is still perfectly functional. I can use it, but this happening to me made me feel I wanted to give up on life because getting this repair will be a huge hassle of figuring out the money, & having to get serviced.

Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

(1852) Frederick Douglass, "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth Of July" •www.blackpast.org On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass was invited to address the citizens of his hometown, Rochester, New York. Whatever the expectations of his audience on that 76th anniversary of the signing of the D...

They aren’t kidding when they call themselves accelerationists. The core of that is literally “sharpening capitalism to its fascist point”

I think it's good for people write literary fiction not to be genre snobs. I think it's good for us to value genre fiction, all the genres, really. We're all real writers writing books that have actual audiences. We don't need the hierarchy of the marketplace.

Let’s combine the Fourth of July, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas so we can nail someone to a tree and then blow them up. Then we open our presents before a nice family meal

I’m an Afro Canadian Palestinian struggling as my grandma is back home in Palestine. I’m looking for people on BlueSky to surround during this hard time in my life. My mental health is going downhill and I just need ppl I can laugh and cry with. 🤍

This is the gaslighting folks are trying to get away with now. Accusing people who knew things in advance of being the wrong ones. They're doing this with Biden being a horrible candidate which leftists always said, & abusers coming out. Those right in advance were getting gaslighted then & are now.

I had been denied Shitty Men in Media Access based on personal beef meaning they would leave me to known rapists because “everyone important knows” And no matter what anyone says it’s almost always along class/race/gender lines Which abusers tend to target

Judging folks for not knowing the thing "everyone knew" in your whisper network is a great way to tell the people whose safety you don't care about that you also feel morally superior to them.

It was actual hell that made feel I wanted to die trying to figure out how to get enough calories in my body to sustain myself today.

Figuring out to how to eat was torture today. My schedule was thrown off anyway & I didn't remember to eat for the first time until 4:30. With almost no executive function, I made a pastrami sandwich looking like one of the stooges & scarfed it down. I scrambled to afford to get a delivery dinner.

These AI fools. The whole point is them trying to make a profit motive by removing paid human labor from the equation. And you're telling me they can't even profit? So they're trying to wreck society for fun or something?

My entire neighborhood is covered in firework smoke. Feel like a war movie out here.

Damn Biden. You got the ECONOMIST telling you to drop out now? How big of a loser do you have to be to have that publication asking you drop out. An American president is failing the college educated obnoxious white capitalists who are that publication's audience. How you you losing them, bro?

Ok let's do this. If we give the pizza vending machine some cue cards about a couple hours in advance it can do a better against Trump in a debate than Biden.

are we taking biden replacement suggestions yet?
