The Shovel is like an Australian 'The Onion'

Yeah keep watching. David and the store is a big thing. The character arcs are worth it. Some very heartwarming stuff coming up with everyone.

Schitts creek.

It was pushed so hard by Netflix when it first came out that I ignored it. Just seemed like an overdone rich fish out of water idea and I just wasn't interested.

I finally got round to it when I think they did another promotional push. After watching it I basically forced every person I know to watch it and it is now a comfort show that I've watched a bazillion times.

But it is just so good.

The good thing is the majority of Vietnamese restaurants are small family businesses that don't charge a lot. So for me pho is an exclusively eat out option. I know any attempt I'd make would be shit and expensive.

Yeah but it leaves a cute little impression

Not very. 10 minutes making the dough. 2 to roll into little balls and flatten slightly with fork. About 12 to bake.

No one? I'm sorry but I just think that's unrealistic. People clearly like the food, it's convenient, likely part of a habit or ritual for many people. If people feel like Wendy's, that's where they'll go.

The part people keep missing with all their "I don't even eat there so I don't care" and "fine, I'll go somewhere else" comments is that every other large chain will be watching this little experiment very, very closely.

People are still going to go to Wendy's. Any boycott is unlikely to make a dent. If this is profitable, watch this become commonplace. I don't even live in the states and this concerns me.

Enshitification may well extend itself to the hospitality sector.

Like I said, it's repeat offenders that I block. I'm not blocking everyone I disagree with our anything like that. There's some edgelord Reddit behaviour occasionally and I'd prefer that stayed back there.

To add to this, block users too. The community is so small here that you start to recognise names of annoying people and trolls. I'm all for a robust discussion, but if I know someone is always going to argue in bad faith or they're literally here just to stir shit, it's just easier to block them. Didn't really work with Reddit, but here it's got a decent impact.

Uh one correction, Tate rapes.
