Pretty sure the meme format is for something you get extremely worked up about and want to passionately tell someone, even in inappropriate moments, but no one really gives a fuck

There are such things as 'culinary vegetables and fruits'. If people used scientific labeling on everything in casual language, we'd be here all day.
This is what has been aggravating me lately. It USED to be very solid advice to try to cut out processed food and buy produce instead. Now, though, even produce has freaking skyrocketed in price. Shopping the same way that used to be very thrifty has become way less so, to the extent that I don't know how people are surviving like this either. And we make decent money! But spending a guaranteed $200 every time I go to the store just for basic things we need for the week is killing me.
Thank you for this! Didn't know it was a thing, I'll do that.
This alone would make me more likely to switch back to iPhone, as much as I hate the walled garden. "Just switch to a private messenger app" doesn't really work when no one else uses them. I've even gotten all of my family to try Signal, but they dropped it in favor of going back to imessage. It's extremely frustrating, far from ideal, but it is what it is.
Google reading my messages at all, even if it's "oPt OuT", is a complete non starter.
I've been enjoying LibroFM instead of Audible. Same subscription/credits per month model, but a portion goes to support a local bookstore of your choice. Feels way better to do that than give any extra money to Amazon.
I bounced right off of Scared to Death; I guess I'm not a fan of their dynamic as hosts? Or maybe I just prefer the narrative style of podcast instead of the 'two zany hosts' format, idk.
Here are some other spooky ones, as well! :
Camp Monsters Podcast
Incredible audio-storytelling podcast for fans of getting into nature, sitting around the campfire and telling scary stories. The audio design is topnotch, and the host does a wonderful job. I'm usually not a fan of overly-produced sounding podcasts, but this one strikes a really good balance of audio-drama type soundscapes and one host telling you a story. The Dark Watcher episode really got me good and spooked while listening to it in bed.
Ghost Story
This is for fans of true crime and ghosts. Some crazy real-life coincidences occur to bring together a man with a ghost in his teenage bedroom and the woman he marries. Turns out, her murdered great grandmother may be the ghost he was visited by. He then uses his skillset as an investigative journalist to look into her and her brother's murder from the post WWI era. While predominantly a true crime podcast, the descriptions of the haunting were quite vivid and scared me while I was home alone at night.
Another good one is History of English
To me it just seems like the episodes go on for too long without much actual information? I haven't listened to many old episodes yet, though, so I don't know if that's how it's always been
I believe it. It very much reflects the modes of thought at the time.
That's not quite right. They hired a theoretical physicist to provide them equations for simulating a black hole. Then, the SFX studio used their Nolan Movie Money to generate it extremely accurately to the extent that it helped spawn further research. It's not that the studio happened to get it right from research. They were given all the pieces they needed and were able to do something these physicists had a hard time doing likely because they never had that kind of money/equipment: make an exceptional, high-fidelity, cinematic simulation.
Cherish that Subaru, because it's not that way in them anymore. At least, not in ours, which was purchased in 2021. Now hvac is all touch screen; it's awful.
