The old mods are dying; the new mods are struggling to be born. Now is the time of posting Shrek nudes.
the way my dear sweet mother sends me random texts like this does make me feel like I've descended from a proud lineage of posters, and simply had the misfortune to be born at the advent of posting.

Then if I cook something, someone will want some of that food too. But if I don't cook something, they'll graze on crackers all night and leave me to starve. 🙃

Honestly, I think growing up in a house of bored eaters really did cause me to have some issues with food.

I can't stand grazing on crackers all day. I don't want to spend four hours unable to do anything else because my hands are too busy stuffing crackers into my face. To put it another way, the cupboards are full of things I cannot eat because I don't have four hours to eat them, and if I tried, I'd probably get sick because it's all just straight carbs that make your blood sugar spike.

I'm still hung up on the "ingredients house" thing from TikTok, but I don't think it's because of a *lack* of prepackaged snacks.

It's because those snacks are so utterly bereft of actual substance that you had to eat your way through HALF THE CUPBOARD on day one just to get one (1) meal out of it.

Then the rest of the week all you have is random odds and ends like black beans or tomato paste.

If someone's going through all the trouble to dig up dirt on a reporter, it's for a reason.

We once had a group of "police supporters" try to get a guy fired for stuff mildly critical of police and the war in drugs that he posted on Facebook. Someone screenshot it and passed it around.

He wasn't even a reporter/producer. Just production stuff. No impact whatsoever on the content.
