A corporate analogy/strategy is to block your competition from the market share.

For example, a company I used to work for would open accounts in non-viable/non-profitable locations so that our competition would not have the chance to get more market share.

Big corps don’t give a shit if it works or not, as long as they are the biggest they can squeeze out anyone else, so they will launch whatever is trending (meta/threads) and bullshit thier way into another piece of the pie.

Lol, snowflake.

Cutting cherry tomatoes (olives, grapes) in half: lay your free hand over the top of a few on a cutting board and use a SHARP knife (or good serrated) to cut horizontally between your palm and the cutting board. I have seen some people use a plastic lid to do the same if you’re timid (it really is safe since the surface area of your hand is flat and won’t cut you easily)

On the pomegranate note, I cut in half (across the segments) and hold over a large bowl and gently spank the end with a spoon to tap out the seeds. ( I’d rather save all the juice with them).

Excellent

Clippy comes to your home and gives you a hug.

So maybe it’s not necessary for them, or maybe they prefer Español.

Apparently Doom plays on anything

Everything not aRse is an OUTRAGE.

Currently I have Tucson for some reason popping up on my feed here. I have never lived there but have a good friend living there forever.

It’s interesting.

Also Ontario, BC, Minnesota, Malaysia, Canada, UK, Switzerland, Finland, (f)Rance, Melbourne, New Zealand, and finally uniquely German Memes.

I love this feed.

Became familiar with the term with Colleen McCulloughs books of Rome series. Excellent book series.

I prefer the October Horse

It absolutely is.

Lamb from Colorado is probably the best for domestic, but NZ lamb became very popular as the price was very low and more accessible. Lamb also went through a change in flavor as their diets changed (I noticed this over my career), and became more ‘bland’.

Fortunately, though, lamb is popular and delicious here!

Pork chops are more common in the US, veal chops lost popularity when people started to realize they were eating baby cows…

Then of course we have mutton chops

But that fad also faded

Carne asada, black beans w/ peppers, onions & corn, basmati rice.

Chops?

My wife is almost on the other side and yeah, it’s shit. But we’re both stubborn & last year she started to recognize all the shit slung my way -and you hit the nail on the head: it’s not an apology that’s needed, it’s the recognition.

We’ve been together 26years now and I can’t imagine going through this at you stage of life. Good luck.

Good. The death of corporate social media can’t come soon enough.

Gov. Will look away because it’s easier for them to track, follow, tax and control the population.
