  • I remember 50% vegetables, 30% carbs, 15% protein, 5% other from somewhere.

    Another place (especially USA) we’re falling down is snacking foods, like prepackaged chips. They’re designed to make you consume more while not providing anything of value to our diets. And not so surprising, the wanting to snack constantly goes away when I’m able to cook and consume food made with real whole ingredients. Even jarred sauces or canned vegetables are lacking /something/ vital.

    Frozen veg and a bag of potatoes has become a cornerstone of my cooking.

    Certain produce like tomatoes I try to buy the multicolored heritage versions. Even produce is suffering from enshitification with the modern versions losing flavor and nutrition in favor of appearance, shelf life, ship ability, etc.

    Anyway, I went on a high rambling rant. Sorry, I’ll go hit my pipe again before i start some aluminum origami





  • The President in particular is very much a figurehead, he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it. On those criteria Zaphod Beeblebrox is one of the most successful Presidents the Galaxy has ever had - he has already spent two of his ten Presidential years in prison for fraud. Very very few people realize that the President and the Government have virtually no power at all
