No. It was a job that could have stayed fully remote but was instead hybrid. And it was a big waste of time job. I could have had another job at the same time.
I feel like I am witnessing the birth of a regional poverty food. This isn’t meant to be offensive, quite the opposite! Most highly regional dishes for any culture are poverty foods, they are “make due with what we have, cheap” dishes, and I feel like this absolutely counts.
It’s a wonderful thing to see! Because it’s not local to a region like it used to be. Anyone with cheesy crackers, ham, and mustard can make it.
Sorry I’m sure that’s weird, I’m just super into.. things, I guess.
I don’t live in an apartment anymore, and I moved out largely because I’m asocial, and want as little incidental contact with others as possible. I’d like to do something like this in my town but that’s not really likely to work because, again, asocial. I could set it up and nobody would know unless they saw it. And looked.
But it gets me thinking… if a person were to just go into a random unsecured apartment building, such as the one I used to live in, and put up a small shelf with the community pantry building instructions laminated and pinned above it, and seeded it with some goods, if it would just spontaneously take off.
When I used to work at an airport, we had tip jars that looked like decorative glass bricks. I took to putting a few dollars of my own money into the jar every day, in a very obvious way, and the tips came in much more steadily than not seeding the jar.
I bet the same could work in apartments, even if you don’t live there. I’m going to try it; I have an old shelf and some dry goods I don’t really want, and I know the old apartment complex; it’s full of people who move out in the middle of the night because they can’t pay rent, car break-ins happened not infrequently, but never anything within the building, neighbors let you know.
It’s one of the cheapest places I ever lived, and it’s still in the same condition I left it a decade back, despite renting for almost 200% what I paid then with wages not keeping up. The windows were rotting out trash from the 70s and haven’t been replaced, something I can tell from the parking lot and I let them know about before I moved out. If they haven’t fixed that, they haven’t fixed any of it, and are letting it degrade willfully. Desperate people always exist.
Interestingly, I’m pretty sure she got that “dress” (really, it’s panties and a corset with a mesh dress over top) on Amazon. I saw nearly the same thing just today. It was $25 and listed as a rave costume.
So your drug hypothesis is supported so far….
(Yes yes, I know it’s not actually the same thing, but it might as well be… normal people wouldn’t go out wherever in that..)
My favorite weight loss exercise is existing but being very cold. Not even joking. That’s the whole thing.
If you want to balance calories with low effort, expose yourself to whatever temperature you shiver at (cold water is great for this because you lose heat 25x faster when wet). You burn an absolute ton of calories for heat, and recruit beige fat cells to function as brown fat cells which exist only to burn through fat to maintain homeostasis. The more you shiver, the more effective you are at ambient calorie burn when you don’t shiver.
Cardio is wonderful for upping your overall metabolism, as is building any muscle. They also both work to strengthen your overall system. Do those things. They are good for you.
But for pure calorie balancing and deficits, cold wins hands down as far as effort involved. Because it’s just sitting there being uncomfortable, and that’s easy, some of us are that way always :)
Personally I’d love to help with community gardening initiatives… sort of.
I’m presently working on an indoor root crop system for urban dwellers, just as a hobby. I don’t actually want to profit off it, I want to develop it to help fix the world, but with the present system, I feel the absolute need to monetize it in some way, which is anathema to how I want to exist and it being low cost and accessible for low income households.
Capitalism hinders progress. It’s really sad and demoralizing.
I’m going to release it for free anyway when it’s done - when it’s a reproducible system and not just an interdependent idea - but it’s never going to benefit me, and that sucks because I’m poor lol

(Just the first bit with the shotgun)
Also I assume some magic was involved.
So it sat disused for however long and then got torn down entirely so other shit we don’t need could be built…
That’s… actually much worse than it still being there and potentially still useable.. how wasteful.
Take the roof off and you’ve got a ready-made outdoor arena for whatever events. Concerts, horse shows, monster trucks, garden shows, 4-H, whatever else is outside.
Why is it just sitting disused? How is that economically better than using it for something, even if it’s not perfect? I mean hell, you could use this space as a hydroponic farm and it would still be a better use of the space and structure than just being abandoned.
Swing low (or high) sweet chair, it hits, coming forth to stagger them down.
Hmm…. I hope not. This is from an adventure time game. It’s castle lemongrab’s prison cell toilet.

That’s why I said for me, but I can see my word placement wasn’t great, and probably not clear. Such is life.
I’d never trust a company trying to sell you an overpriced product that monitors your purchase and consumption habits to get you to spend even more on ordering services or whatever nonsense their fridge does, to give better advice than a persons own body, even when said body is not working properly with signaling, or has been otherwise hijacked by empty foods.. I’d sooner trust even the worst malfunctioning body than this nonsense.
