Weirdly I was having leftover chicken and broccoli (w/rice instead of tortilla) when I came across this and $3 is pretty much spot on. But not for the first time, live by the vibecession die by the vibecession

People using it for transactions is mainstream? I'd like to see some evidence for that

Its the pretense of cleverness, but never answering the question of "why is it fake *now*"

A lot of conservatives hold this weird belief that their political positions have no attachment to morality.

Yeah it was a 4/5 movie for me but give Del Toro the Oscar (I have seen zero other contenders)
