      Grew up on a lake that used to freeze in the winter, this is the best but worst thing we used to do (because it was fun, but the rocks/ice chunks would refreeze in place and be a hazzard while skating)

      Watching someone dig a hole. Or standing by the side of a hole that was just dug and commenting about the hole. Or watching construction work in a previously dug hole.

      We seem to just like holes. We are simple creatures.

      I remember grocery shopping as a kid filling the cart completely full and when we went through the register it was over $100 and my mom was going jeez that’s a lot of money for a lot of food. It took 3 people several trips to unload the car.

      Today I go through the self checkout, get a few frozen meals, some store brand cookies, and a case of cheap beer for $80. I can carry the two bags and beer with one hand.

        I’ve been going to Costco every week for several years. Pre Covid my big trips were around $350. Yesterday I went and got some beer, wine, and some beef jerky and it came out to $350

        My big cart days are a lot closer to $700 too now. Certain items I remember being $10 are now $16-18. It’s insane.

          We just had a $595 sticker shock at Costco a few days ago. I’m pretty sure the same amount of stuff would have been $350 a couple years ago.

        Just a note here, I bet your mom wasn’t buying “dinners,” she was buying “ingredients.” Ingredients take up a lot more space in the cart per dollar spent. Sometimes that’s because you pay a premium for prepared foods, (flour vs cookies) and sometimes it’s because there’s inherent waste, like onion skins, and both ends of that head of celery, and the bones of the whole chicken, and the stem, seeds, and vacant space inside a bell pepper. Also, not judging the beer, but in my childhood Dad bought all the alcoholic beverages from the liquor store in a separate trip. So it wouldn’t have been in the grocery bags, nor on that receipt.

        Inflation is real. But it’s important to:

        A. Make accurate comparisons

        B. Value the work that went into turning those ingredients into dinners.

        I’m really weirded out because I strongly remember averaging $100/week grocery trips as a kid, and now that I have my own family we’re averaging $100/week. Checking a CPI calculator I should be spending ~$180/week with the exact same spending habits

        They’re raising the prices because we’re buying “frozen meals, cookies, and beer”. All of that can be made at home for cheaper. Well, the beer and cookies may cost the same but they will be twice as good.

        Figure out what is your biggest purchase and find the recipe for it. Pasta, Indian food, cookies, and even beer can be made at home if you know what you’re doing.

        Prices were lower before because everyone knew they could probably whip up something similar. If you have a bag of flour, some butter, and some sugar you can basically make half of the things at the grocery store.

          I guess I don’t buy frozen “meals” I buy frozen prepared meat. I eat meat everyday as my main meal. It’s a lot of work to keep meat in daily servings frozen and then prepare that everyday as well. There are a few things I make that I can freeze in daily portions like shredded beef or pork, or just chicken thighs/breast that I’m just going to fry and sauce.

          Premade cookies are my vice. I like switching things up and there are a bunch of different ones. Plus they’re my snack that can just stay in the unsealed package so I can grab a couple anytime throughout the week. The Walmart brand are only $2.50 per package and the knock out thin mints are a good as the “real” one. 100% worth it, I can’t make those. Or many of the others like store brand oreos. I occasionally get a craving for real chocolate chip cookies. So I make a huge batch and consume it in an unhealthy amount of time.

                  I would. But I’m not cis. And I regularly wear thigh highs. I didn’t think I would particularly like them, but got some anyways because of the programming sock meme, but I’m apparently terrible at knowing what I’d like.

                  Still, was making a joke. Femboys exist too and they like thigh highs too. But unhappiness about masculine aspects of your body if you are amab should be reason to more seriously consider why.

      I’m so baffled that most people reading this don’t get its satire of a lot of comics, sci-fi, video games, etc but with the genders reversed and people thinking it’s a reasonable position.

      The author isn’t being literal, they are making a joke about men who unironically say this and expect it to be considered normal.

      Please don’t yell at me for this I am just the messenger.

        That’s because there is good satire, and pretty often rubbish niche satire. Satire usually relies on everyone being in on the joke, accepting the ludicrousness of it. Political satire is good at this, gender stereotype satire is pretty deep psychologically layered stuff. Most people are not psychologically trained, or even people watchers. So the satire gets missed.

          To me, trying to be dispassionate here, that’s also an issue with capping tweets.

          In a social media feed such as (pre-Elon) Twitter, if one were the depicted author one would expect ones followers to know you are a successful illustrator, political essayist, social commentator and published author on the topics of sexual violence in culture and an NEA fellow off the back of your successful graphic novel, putting the context of the original tweet in perspective and making the satire very obvious.

          To be a little less dispassionate and a little more arch: isn’t the burden of that on the reader, not the author?

            Yes and no.

            We have limited cognitive abilities as humans. With every bit of information on social and regular media screaming for our attention its easy to miss the nuance. Add to that even the difference in culture in countries side by side there can be barriers to this absorption generated by our various cultures. You have to actively break from cultural norms to explore these other ideas and philosophies.

            Might well be a little too deep for “I dont know any men” type memes… 😅

              A fair point but also, if one wants to say “hey they didn’t give context to their joke, when the poster deliberately removed it from its contextual home!”, there’s nothing that can stop them, but also, they shouldn’t be surprised to find people asking them to understand the context before complaining about the lack of it.

              Consider something like “I didn’t know Stevie Wonder was blind, and it’s therefore not my fault that I didn’t get the joke about Stevie Wonder being blind.”

              Like, sure, maybe it’s not, but also, it would hamper any joke if you had to explain all context.

      Very religious single mother with lots of money from a divorce has a daughter, sends her to a girls-only boarding school, she studies theology and joins a convent, becomes a nun - now you have a thirty-something year old woman who has never known a man on a personal conversational basis (may have seen/heard them in passing, possibly a teacher or church leader as well).

      (This is most likely not the case and purely exists as a ridiculous but possible answer to your question.)

          I’m pretty sure he saw one way up close at the start of his life.

          You do realize some daughters are born with asshole dads who abandon their mothers before they’re born, right? Not everyone knows their father on a personal level, some have never seen them …

          The person who “has never known any men in her life” is the daughter here, not the mother…

            That makes way more sense. I thought the woman sent the goal to boarding school so she (the mom) could become a nun…

            It’s been a long week…

      What you’ve never encountered one of those “went to an all-girls school then got a job at a daycare” chicks?

        well the closest I ever got to that was having an all-consuming hobby of attending aerobics classes and there were no men anywhere and I was so sexually frustrated. Had no idea how to meet men cuz all I wanted to do is go to a aerobics classes.

        LPT for men: If you want to meet tons of thirsty women, go to aerobics classes.

            It’s only creepy if you’re a creep.

            Men who aren’t creepy aren’t creepy.

                I am a woman.

                You’re probably a creep if that is the message you are getting back from everyone.

                Believe it or not, not all men are creepy.
