True, true

Don’t be disingenuous.

Horse shit.

Reading vs TV was a tired debate in the eighties. YouTube is no different than tv. Hell, in some ways, because it isn’t all controlled by oligarchs entirely, I would argue that it’s easier to find good things on YouTube than it ever was on broadcast or cable tv.

Also, ablist much? How about the blind and dyslexic? Are they fucked just because you don’t like that format?

Yeah, fuck YouTube as a platform, and fuck Google/alphabet, but don’t pretend to be the arbiter of entertainment.

So, sundar pinchai can be added to the list of CEOs that suck?

Because a lot of the time, it’s weird that when the company does nasty shit, nobody names him as the head asshole in charge the way that other companies and ceos get handled.

The dude has been in the driver’s seat for pretty much every major deterioration of Google/alphabet for years.

Well, some of the foods at chains like that are made by either their own food factory, or under contract to a company that does it. I can’t tell you what chains and what foods in specific because it’s been too long since I discovered this.

But, it means that you’ve got a couple of options.

The most realistic is you just hope that the chain sells their stuff in grocery stores. Some do. Iirc, tgif sells a goodly number of its appetizers that way. I wanna say Applebees does too, but I don’t really pay attention to that section of the freezer aisle.

Less realistic, but not impossible, is to check at the restaurant. Some of them will actually sell the products like that. It’s pretty rare, and you’ll pay the full retail price, but you can then take it home and heat it up yourself.

And, sometimes, you’ll find employees stealing the stuff and selling it. No bullshit, it happens. Happens in fast food as well, for that matter. Used to know a guy that would take requests from burger king. You catch him on the right day, you could get a giant box of the whopper patties for twenty bucks. He’d just pad the waste reports over a few days, and afaik, nobody ever caught on.

But, yeah, pre cooked chain restaurant food is usually produced in bulk at a factory, same as your typical frozen foods ata grocery store. Just with bigger packages. Have a cousin that used to work at one, though I can’t remember which chain it was.

I’m gonna argue with the title.

Obsolete means no longer of use, in a general sense.

Just because people don’t know that the tool is there, or don’t know how to apply it, doesn’t mean it’s obsolete. Hyphenation still has its original utility, it helps communicate in writing what is evident in speech.

I get what they mean, but the title is not accurate to the rest of the article, imo.

Being real, this is the kind of shower thought I prefer.

This particular one is inaccurate, but it’s still a proper shower thought; something that you might think of idly while your body is busy and your brain is on autopilot.
