    And slowly, but surely, they’re speed-running making cooking at home as infeasible as possible, either by cost or by lessening the quality until the people in food deserts have no choice but to look elsewhere.

    This country is a goddamn lie, and I wish I knew how to get people to vote third-party.

      I bought a new oven range a few years ago, and had to go out of my way to find something that didn’t have some stupid touchscreen and a bunch of extra features I didn’t want. I figured a dumber device would last longer.

      One of the fans stopped spinning fast enough and bricked the whole fucking thing within 3 years. Not even a broken fan, just not fast enough. Plus the error code the oven gave me wasn’t on the sheet that came with the fucking thing so it took ages to diagnose. My last range had some shitty cooktops but god I miss having an oven that was literally just a big heating element, that thing lasted like 30 years and never once decided to just stop on me

        Awful, man. I’m sorry.

        I’m fortunate to live in a city big enough to where second-hand appliances are still available if one ever needs one, but the stuff in my home was here when I bought and the old owners renovated in 2016. I would love it if I don’t have to replace any of these things until 2046. :)

        No, you got Trump into office, by running an openly brain-dead octogenarian and then letting said brain-dead octogenarian pick your candidate.

          biden was the best president of my lifetime. its amazing what he got done in one term given the adversaries he had to work with. idiots who think they can not fight facists because they think reality and ideality can somehow be the same thing brought us here.
