    Anyone else walk into a big box store and feel like they’re the only ones awake in some sort of toxic capitalist matrix?

    @mackied I’m not even from the US (but have lived there) and one argument people use that resonates with me is that a single mom who needs to work two jobs to pay the bills is extremely short on time to actually cook from scratch.

    How do deal with limits of OPOL for a non native speaker?

    @fireblaze I think it’s interesting that all the things you listed are things I don’t know the name of in my own mother tongue that I speak fluently. I finished high school in my home country and even did some postgraduate studies later when I moved back, I just don’t know anything about...
