Honestly for good fries at home with my steak, I’ll pay the extra few bucks.

Wedges are better for dipping into a sauce, Waffle fries are the best option for “loaded” fries IMO.

I’m with you on crinkle tho… never had amazing ones.

I feel like wedges are a vehicle for sauce and they take spice well.

Make some really spicy wedges and some garlic and chive sour cream… thats a pretty decent combo.

I think you can get both at costco.

Poppers are like appetisers, these to me are sides.

Preparation is important.

Air fryer makes sweet potato move up the list, regular oven makes tots go up. Traditional deep fried makes them go down and brings the potato items up.

Where does it say that being potato based is part of the criteria?

Sweet Potato fries turn out way better than regular potato in an air fryer if you’re buying frozen ones to make at home.

I bought a spice grinder and made a spice mix for my sweet potato fries. Its a mix of salt, old bay, montreal steak seasoning and dried chilli flakes and its awesome.

People.ask me “Why do you wear nothing but Vans and Dickies?”

Because I know their cuts and sizing and I can order the right thing first time every time online.

Having been a new parent and having a stressful job at the same time, I am absolutely guilty of enjoying the peacefulness of grocery shopping and just… spacing the fuck out.

For that hour (that could have taken 10 minutes) nobody is up my ass about something. Ive already been given the task (grocery shopping) and until thats done nobody else is trying to heap shit onto my plate.

Think more along the lines of "Extreme focus on something wildly unrelated to what you are supposed to be doing that is incredibly critical right now.

One of my buddies has a big time thing for high heels, but only if he cant see toes because he thinks feet are disgusting.

I had a buddy growing up who had a really hard time coming to terms with being gay because he really loved lifting weights, football, dirt bikes and hard rock. He was “One of the boys” in an era when most of the portrayal of gay people in popular media was (and I say this with all love) mostly flamboyant lisping queens.

Fortunately his story had a happy ending, but role models are important.

I want to see more “Benign Queerness”

Its briefly mentioned that the character is gay or bi or trans and then it never comes up again because its not relevant to their job in a hospital/cop/whatever.

I have mixed feelings about the movie, but that was a good line and Jesse Plemons delivered it well.

Standing next to mass grave

“But what kind of socialist are you?”

Honestly it did largely start off as me laughing at idiots missing the point that to fight capitalism they could do almost anything else short of shopping at the Gucci store for their T-Shirts. But if this is their “Fisher Price My first act of rebellion” well thats not really a bad thing.

Ha! I’m already doing this. I have an account on a t-shirt vendor site where I upload some low effort anti-capitalism design every week. I dont make much money but I giggle my balls off that people buy it. Like a Che Guevara t-shirt from Hot Topic in the 90s… Some people just dont get irony.

Its really not their fault. Most organisations hold their staff to either brutal efficiency targets or have them on a contract basis getting paid per parcel. I’m VERY LUCKY in that my organisations key metric is “successful deliveries/attempts without complaint” and right behind it is number of parcels delivered per hr. They like a guy who does 20 an hour and 100% success way more than a 30 an hr and 95% success. My bosses love me because I know I’m hourly and I just DO MY JOB. Last time I checked I’m at 99.9%.

It is partially the customers fault. People LOVE the idea of next day free delivery, their parcel being treated with loving care, their delivery instructions being followed to the letter and delivered by someone who takes pride in their job, it drives a lot of business… but its FREE, you think they dont cut corners? Most places hire people who will work their asses off for peanuts, which means a high turnover of people who dont really give a fuck to be able to take on those contracts and still make IF THEY ARE LUCKY $1 off each parcel.
