Can confirm, its Latvian. They sell those on gas stations. They also had an amazing thing called wrapurger back in the day. Fantastic thing, like a burger, but wrapped in a tortilla instead of bread. Imagine a burger you can eat in your car while not making a mess. Unbelievable
That doesn’t look like the bun has the same texture as a regular hotdog bun. It looks more like a double dog panini. Plus it doesn’t have the opening for toppings
Hot dogs are fucking gross though. It’s already hard enough to drown them in enough sauerkraut, mustard, onions, etc, to make them choke-downable. Hamburgers are different, it’s actually (usually) reasonably good meat as a base, doubling it makes sense.
I CAN’T BE STOPPED! I WILL SHOVE TWO HOT DOGS IN MY MOUTH INTO MY CHEEKS LIKE A COLD MEAT EATING GERBIL. CHEEKS PUFFED OUT, CHEWING, STARING AT ANYONE WATCHING AND NEVER BREAKING EYE CONTACT.
So I don’t think you’re wrong, but I also suspect you haven’t had an all-beef hotdog. Like the Costco hotdog. It’s a very different dog, higher quality & uniform meat. Better texture. You should give it a try!
One of the funnier random exchanges I’ve seen in SC was when someone complained in chat that he had a constant choking sound to which someone else immediately responded with, “well stop eating hot dogs like that.”
How does that work exactly? In most countries, surely you only get access to any state pension at the ever-increasing retirement age. My point being, if you are able to retire early, it's on your own dime, right?
In most systems your pension taxes are not stashed away until you retire and then handed to you. Instead your taxes are used to pay the pensions of people currently retired, with the understanding that the next generation will pay for your pension. If you stop working too early and you stop paying taxes, the system breaks down.
That said, I really don’t think that this is a real problem. The real problem is that baby boomers are now retiring in droves, turning from the major contributors of the pension system to the biggest drain, and with a population shrinkage, it’s uncertain how we’ll be able to keep funding the system.
That's all true. But then they're not really a drain, and while not paying income tax any more they're usually spending their retirement in other ways which produces tax income still.
I'd agree we have a problem though. I'm Gen X and my state retirement age is already +4 years on what it would have been. I cannot see that getting any better any time soon.
I like my job and have great coworkers. I could keep doing what I’m doing for another 20 years no problem. Wouldn’t quite be retirement age yet, nor would I have enough to retire but at least I tried.
Hey, a few snails are nothing compared to the disgusting shit the Chinese eat. And I’m not saying that to be racist. It’s purely a dietary horror I have for their revolting and cruel habits.
The random animals they either catch from wild or raise in horrific conditions to sell to eat because ‘some bogus reason to do with ‘traditional Chinese medicine’ or male erection insecurity’.
I mean how about the ‘wet market’ where C19 apparently sprung from; bats, pangolins, god only knows what else.
As I said, I am not racist in the least, but I will admit to being somewhat disgusted by many aspects of their culture. As others have discussed elsewhere, the Cultural Revolution destroyed the previous Chinese cultural norms and created a somewhat blank slate that did not include politeness etc. This seems to be by design.
To be fair, I’m also disgusted by many aspects of ‘Western’ culture, including regional variations and various hypocrisies. Again, nothing to do with race.
In fact, lots of human behaviour disgusts me. Hey, when was that asteroid due again?!?
