Fancy cupcakes are 70% icing, really not that nice and a waste of money

That this question has been posted every single day for the last week.
American cakes, cookies, and breads have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much sugar. (Eating American white bread hurts my teeth.)
As an American, yes they do and it sucks. Especially since I’m trying to lower my sugar consumption due to my family history of type 2 diabetes
It’s not just the baked products either!
I just bought some lemon pepper seasoning.
Now you’d t think that the top ingredient would be either lemon, pepper, or salt right?
Well uh, no. It’s sugar for some reason.
Omg I totally agree. I went to America a few years ago and the bread was so sugary
I don’t eat American white bread either, most other Americans I know eat sourdough or ‘actual’ bread, not that weird loaf of angel food cake they call bread here lol
And yet “Wonder” Bread still sells in huge amounts. Someone is eating it!
Had my boss bring over twinkies from the states because I was curious. Holy moly that stuff is sweet, it’s like distilled sugar or something.
Its not just baked goods, we put sugar/corn syrup in everything! sausages don’t need to be sweetened! Vegetables don’t need to be sweetened!
And then we add excessive amounts of salt to counterbalance the sweetness.
DND is not a good universal game system. It’s pretty good at being DND, but that’s a particular beast that’s mostly about resource management.
You can definitely use it for a game about social intrigue, or horror, or modern day anything, but it’s not really good at any of that. Like using a hammer to put screws in, you’ll probably get something done, and if you’re hanging with your friends you’ll probably have a good time. But it’s a weird tool to reach for.
Personally, I don’t think the core of the rules system is very good at all. Flat probability feels weird. Armor as all-or-nothing is weird. Hit and damage being split into two rolls is slow and weird. In the latest edition, making very few choices about your character often feels bad. Levels are a very coarse unit of growth. The magic system somehow manages to make magic not feel like magic- no wonder, no mystery, it’s just safe and standardized. I could go on.
But it’s mega popular and people are emotionally invested, so there’s not much to be done about it. There are dozens of people playing the thousands of other games out there.
Also a lot of people have never played anything else, so their analysis and defense of it is often lacking. Like if I’ve only ever played baseball, and never even watched any other sports, I wouldn’t feel qualified to talk about bowling. But you get people saying like “no you need to wear cleats that’s a universal property of sports” when bowling comes up. Like, not every game has six stats. Not every game has attributes like that at all.
And again, if you’re having fun with dnd then that’s the primary goal achieved. We don’t need to maximize fun and efficiency in all things all times. I just think that it would be a good experience to branch out more, even if it’s scary, because that will lead to a richer experience overall.
Spelling and grammar matter.
At least take a stab at doing it well.
Other than speaking to people, it’s how we interact with others. It can be professionally, casually, or with friends. Friends we can be pretty informal and slap emojis all over if that’s your style. But casually, even online interaction, people should favor more formal writing until “reading the room”. Professionally there’s no excuse, IDGAF how “brilliant” someone might be and suddenly the get a pass for whatever comes down the email pipeline (unless that brilliance comes attached to some bonafide neurodivergence or something), the awful writing I’ve seen come from some “professionals” is anything but.

CDs are better than vinyl.
Not true, everytime i put a cd on a record player, it ends up all scratched up.
The world actually did end in 2012.
This is hell.
Whipped cream sucks.
Ironing clothes is stupid and useless and shouldn’t be a thing. I haven’t ironed any of my clothes for decades now and they never look any different than the clothes that were ironed. It’s a scam! And humanity won’t be able to progress if we keep doing it!!
It really depends on the garment. I’ve rarely ever ironed my clothes, only random occasions where the item I want to wear got wrinkled and I didn’t have the time to fix it any other way. I’ve also never had a job that required anything fancier than business casual, so that could be part of it.
True for jeans and hoodies, not true if you need to wear nice pants, button down shirts and blazers to work.
There’s a hill I’ll die on: screw that 19th century-ass business dress crap.
Nobody gives a crap outside of a bunch of boomers who are still arguing about how offended they’ll be if you don’t put on a monkey suit to sooth their egos, so like, we should just stop that crap.
Also: ties. Who the hell came up with the brilliant idea of wearing a noose?
Ironing clothes became a thing when all clothes were made from 100% natural materials.
Today, unless you specifically go out of your way to make sure, chances are that none of your clothes are made from 100% natural materials.
One of the advantages of plastic fibers is that they don’t wrinkle as much.I have a handheld clothes steamer! Changed ironing for me forever I fucking love it
Keeping a girlfriend/wife is easy. Just eat pussy. It’s like the skeleton key to women’s hearts and minds.
If you’re consistent and eat with joy, even after breakups…you will find they want you back. The simple reason is…the other guys just don’t eat like you did.
Peach is favorite food!
Someone gets it!

Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt doesn’t deserve the praise it gets. If anyone else recorded it, no one would care. His singing sounds bad.
And to add to it, it’s a song about drug addiction and depression…but the music video is a highlight real of how awesome Cash’s life was.
Just to be a devil’s advocate, his life was pretty full of heavy amphetamine addiction from the late 50s to the 90s. His recording sounds like a man singing about the hurt he no doubt caused to himself and those he loved during the decades of drug abuse, no matter how shiny that life looked from the outside.
Songs still sounds like shit and the music video i of still a highlight reel
This is also my hill
People always talk about how emotional the cover is…
-
That’s just the warbly singing voice of an old man
-
HAVE YOU HEARD THE ORIGINAL??? Talk about emotion. It’s not even a contest
Hahahaha right! Like there’s so much depth in the original version, the ending is (to me) a little hopeful, a broken man who is going to find a way to keep himself and find a way, to paraphrase the song 🤣

Yes but the icing is what i want.
