Plenty of price gouging out there but not at GROCERY STORES whose margins are infamously low

I think about this DFW bit on a weekly basis these days.

People feel compelled to say “everything is terrible” as a hedge against accusations of privilege or naïveté.

The Doom Acknowledgment is a way of preempting accusations of naïveté or privilege. People think it’s a mark of sophistication or intelligence.

It’s very stupid!

I also think ~65% of the “cookie cutter” complaints come from the fact that new builds that don’t have mature trees, because they’re new.

This kinda thing + a couple years of tree growth would be cute as hell
