There’s a restaurant I go to once in a while (it’s out of my way) that consistently makes excellent fries that are a magical. They thick, are long-cut fries with a bit of skin and a hint of edge crispiness. But overall they are kind of limp and soft. The occasional smaller “runt” fries are very crispy, but the longer thicker fries are wonderfully limp and they taste like actual potatoes.
They are not greasy.

Too many fast-food French fries don’t taste like actual potatoes to me. They taste like some kind of synthetic starch compound, almost like a Pringles or some shit.

If Thanos snapped his fingers and sent all of the marketing MBAs to “Planet Marketing”…nobody would fucking miss them. Nobody.

Agreed. And at this point people should say all recent years as “twenty-twenty-six”, etc. The few people who still insist on saying “two-thousand and” make me grind my teeth.

I enjoy silly questions like this (is a hotdog a sandwich, etc).

IMO “goo” is usually used when talking about something unpleasant. I think of honey as something very pleasant (barring any accidents).

However, after reading the other comments: I think I’m probably wrong and honey is indeed a goo.

TIL!

Your state’s domestic violence coalition may be able to help you. They can provide a lot of guidance and services, and in some cases even secure transitional housing.

One possibility for long-term would be to rent a room from someone you trust (who understands the situation) and never specify this as your address on any form ever. Use a PO box for your official address instead. You can also look to see if the state you want to live in has an Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) which are for abuse survivors.

Other options include a high rise with a doorman (expensive, security level varies a lot from place to place), or a gated community (security is more optics than real security, but could be a deterrent).

I have a friend who moved to Mexico because he couldn’t afford his medications in the US any longer. He has to return to a border town every 6 months to renew his visa, which is a PITA. But, something like that might be an option, too. It’s unlikely he’d think to look for you in another country.

The philosophy of Antinatalism makes a lot of logical sense to me. I find it difficult to argue against without appealing to nature, traditions, emotions, etc.

People really, really, really hate AN, though. It’s not something I enjoy engaging about. I don’t really care if other people subscribe to it or not. I’m not an AN evangelist.

Unfortunately, AN attracts a lot of weirdos, childfree types, and suicidal people. There are some brilliant folks who subscribe to it, too. But the signal to noise ratio is awful.
