It’s a conversation technique. Like, in debate or psychology or something. It’s intended to get in your head. If a person employs it then… that says something about them.
Of course, sandwiches like philly cheesesteak, subway sub, and a hoagie on a torpedo roll are all tacos now too, which is nonsense. Fun to think about though.
I need to investigate if my town even has a local hotdog shop.
I’m pretty certain we don’t. Actually we lack a lot of proper food places. Sandwich shops are all terrible, no goddamn Phillies worth the money. No hot dog shop or reliable spot for biscuits n gravy. seems sorta like Minnesota just hates good food
You looked at the original blueprints for hot dogs and said “too much protein, not enough carbs” instead of “I refuse to make two identical sandwiches in parallel”. Both fascinating observations :)
Not necessarily, those are all things lots of people get pleasure out of, I even like to research my family tree from time to time and I’m nowhere close to retirement yet lmao
Lots of, but not the majority. They could have picked many other things that would seem fun for much larger groups of people, but that would be counterproductive for trying to convince you to work forever.
edit: note that I live on a vacation destination for golf and cruises, and this is still my impression.
Unless you plan to retire very early, you should try to learn guitar long before retirement. Learning something, especially music, is much harder when you get older.
I get that you’re trying to be helpful, but playing the guitar well isn’t the goal. It’s ok that it is more difficult to learn as you get older, the point is to enjoy the learning. It’s unhelpful to discourage anyone at any stage of life from learning to play a new instrument or learn a new skill. Enjoy the process when you are free to take all the time you need.
I agree. I have taught myself to play many instruments in my life. I can’t play any of them well, but that wasn’t the point. The point was to learn how to play a new musical instrument. Sure, I can’t pick up a saxophone right now and sound like John Coltrane, but I know all the essentials of how to play a saxophone, and if I spent a couple of weeks at it, I could probably do some basic, but listenable, jazz on it. With a guitar, I can’t pick it up and play like Jimi Hendrix, but I can play chords and sing along with them. I’ve learned a lot of other instruments at a very amateur level because the joy wasn’t in learning to play them well, it was in learning to play them.
I have a friend who is very happily spending his retirement wargaming- playing games, inventing games, painting models and writing and self-publishing books on wargaming. He seems extremely satisfied.
Some of his miniatures are super miniature too. Like a quarter the size of Warhammer miniatures. And he does a very good job of painting their little Napoleonic uniforms or whatever.
Mmmm… With double the nitrates, double the grease, and double the sodium who wouldn’t want this??? Go ahead and have 2 or 3 of them! If eating doesn’t make you break out in a sweat then you’re not doing it properly!
Why don’t you mind yours and let them enjoy their retirement rather than taking on unnecessary debt and awful hours to compete in a market designed to benefit megacorps over small businesses regardless of all the empty rhetoric from both parties?
Maybe it’s less a line to be toed and more your utter tonedeafness. Also, “uppity” is perhaps not the best word choice since that’s usually used as a racist and/or classist dog whistle…
French Press. Trying some new beans from Costco called Greenberry’s. Didn’t realize the front had a zipper and cut the whole damn top off, so feeling like a moron (good start to Monday).
Been cutting myself from any sort of dairy, since been adding a splash of oatmilk in it, and it’s pretty much perfect.
We sometimes add a piece of cinnamon to the grinder to get it a little extra flavor sometimes. It’s actually really nice on occasion - gets to be a little much when you do it too often though.
On account of the square-cube law, you will get more surface area from two smaller sausages than one large one, so the two small win out in that aspect at least.
Okay but then they’re squishy and flop around and send condiments everywhere rather than aiming them like a torpedo directly where they need to go: into your mouth.
