Because it seems like a colossal train wreck. There were 4 people on there when I was watching. Girl 1 married to guy 1, girl 2 married to guy 2. Girl 1 and guy 1 along with girl 2 and guy 2 each got divorced. Girl 1 and guy 2 get together with girl 2 staying in the picture. Girl 1 and girl 2 then enter a relationship while still living in guy 1's house

Basically just a clip of Eisen saying he has been running his own show/twitter since 2020 and that since Elon took over the ad revenue has dropped like 98%.

I had this thought in the shower:

I'm so thankful for the Phillies. Why? Because they just got beat. No nonsense, no funny business. The Astros beat them.

No franchise player getting hurt every playoffs. No tampering with a coach wavering his focus. No bs penalty calls. No dumb squeaker of a goal in OT. No ridiculous 6 bounce shot as time expired. No heartbreak, no acute pain. Just a no nonsense tried-their-best fair and square loss. I'm so f***ing sick of how Philly sports always emphasizes the agony in agony of defeat. It's almost always f***ing pain

It helps to avoid that possibly happening when you go a decade without making the playoffs.

Even in 09 and 10 the same thing happened. I mean yeah, heartbreaking, especially on 2010, but not f***ing aggravating. There's a difference
 
Do you think some stores in their produce section deliberately do things to produce in order for it to spoil more quickly on the consumer?

Like I'll see potatoes and onions at Shop-Rite and they'll all be wet like they were sprayed down. Which is wrong for the potatoes especially, but also the onions. They also have the onions like right next to the potatoes which onions give off fumes that cause potatoes to speed-up the spoilage process.

I've seen how my Shoprite gets the 5lb plastic bags of potatoes and there's like five 5lb bags in a very large paper bag type sack. So in order for them to get wet they have to unpack them from that and then spray down the 5lb bags (which have like little air holes in them).

During peak pandemic I was ordering from a large food wholesaler that was looking for business because so many restaurants, caffeterias, etc... were closed and the stuff I got then I could keep in my basement for like 1 month or 2 with no problem.

Sadly once everything opened back up they put in some kind of $250+ purchase and the type of stuff I ordered was just not worth it at that level.

Winning the WS in '08 probably helped soften the blow of '09 and after. If say, the "Kawhi bounce" hadn't happened and the Sixers had gone on to win the title that year I think we'd all be a little less on edge.

I don't know if this is still in effect, but the pandemic shipping restrictions made things weird enough that there were huge surpluses of stuff like onions and potatoes, so a ton of stuff got frozen rather than letting it spoil and that apparently shatters its longevity once thawed. Grocery stores buy up the cheaper once-frozen stuff.

I don't know if the food supply is still reeling from that and trying to normalize, but to this day finding a decent onion is like pulling the sword from the stone.
