stfu this price on food will keep me alive when I’m starving and putting quarters together to maybe stay alive until my next shift.
rich people: why is unhealthy food so cheap? don’t they know we have no self-control and will eat this until it causes health problems?
poor people: oh, thank god, something i can afford.
Five bucks can buy you so much more though if you take more than five minutes to prepare it.
Umm. Idk where you’re buying groceries, but $5 doesn’t get me anything.
Lol they want u to live on salted pasta and nothing else. XDDD God forbid people want something cheap that TASTES good.
Like- if u have more than $5 u can buy lots of things in bulk and per serving it’s cheaper. But for just straight $5??? Fuck outta here. $5 is like the cost of one spice at a grocery store ffs
Yeah for just straight $5 I could maybe buy a bag of rice and a jar of peanut butter, and that’s honestly less complete nutrition than that fast food, which at least has some vegetables in it, some meat, etc.
Rich people don’t get that being poor actually costs money. Terry Pratchett summed it up pretty well in one of the Discworld books:
“But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.”
In fact, it’s such a good example that one widely used term to describe this socioeconomic bullshit is literally ‘Vime’s Boots’
Hard to swallow pill: When you reduce historical figures like this into moustache twirling black hat wearing villianry, the actual monsters of your time go right under your nose because they don’t live up to the physical incarnation of sheer evil you’ve built up.
These monsters are a part of humanity, and you should set your expectations accordingly.
anna todd is a big homophobe for going through with this After bullshit and she should be jailed for her crimes against harry
I thought I was through but i’m not. they may have changed his name and tattoos and be all “this movie isn’t about harry styles!” but people will always think of it like that and when they go see it they’ll be like damn that harry styles movie was fucked up! can’t believe he’s like that! and quite frankly i’m amazed she can call herself a fan when she’s releasing this kind of material, knowing that 1. he is not heterosexual and 2. he has spoken negatively of it 3. she seems perfectly aware of exactly what it will do to his perception in media, both in fortifying his aggressively heterosexual womanizer image, and painting a picture of him that is misogynistic, abusive, and temperamental. I hope it fucking flops
