Things That Are Bothering You, Got You All Hibbeldy-Jibbeldy, or just downright pissed, RIGHT NOW!

I hate even more that the reason a good change is shot down is largely due to fear of rocking the boat (aka politics).

Sometimes I wonder how profitable and smoothly-run a business could be if all of its employees completely lacked the ability to feel emotion.

Imagine how efficient **** would be!

I had to buy a bunch of regular Yoplait yogurt yesterday because they were sold out of the brand I usually get. It turns out there's a lot more flavors of yogurt than there used to be in the Yoplait lineup. Many of them are meant to replicate the taste of dessert foods, mostly pies and cakes. But they don't. The cherry cobbler yogurt I'm eating right now tastes more like Nyquil.

I'm not a fan of most foo-foo flavored foods.

See the problem here is that you're not some dieting woman desperate to eat "dessert."

To even suggest such a thing is outrageous: I would never wear jeans like that!

How appropriate . I'm trying to buy a pair of boots from you but you won't answer my pm.

I don't have a private message from you. Did you try sending one?

I had a Rock Star energy drink (not my usual) that tasted like Nyquil. It was worth it for its absurd caffeine content though.

No such thing.

Tomatoes must endure their going hence even as their coming hither. Ripeness is all.

(Too bad they're such soft fruit. Tomatoes should be picked when they're ready to fall from the plant (which they do easily), but this makes harvesting difficult and increases loss so even the ones picked 'ripe' are picked as soon as they turn red. Tomatoes are really only ripe about at least a week or so after that point, depending on the variety.)

And that's true too.

I guess I didn't add enough color.

When I was a kid every local supermarket had really good tomatoes (and peaches). You never see a decent tomato in a regular supermarket anymore, regardless of season. You need to go out of your way for it. Its a joke. This is why commercial farming sucks. Have you noticed how bad these tomatoes are? They look perfect and taste like ****.

I get the point about winter tomatoes, but WTF, a regular supermarket can't buy from a local grower mid summer?

Peaches are even worse. They're like baseballs.

And when did apples start to taste like water? Why do I need to leave my avocados out for a week? And how did strawberries 'evolve' this thick ass skin on them now when they used to just fall apart in your mouth with the tiniest bit of pressure?

Where's the outrage?

The cables of my Triplefi 10 broke. Will probably order some Null Audio Arete replacement cables, but it will likely take a couple weeks to arrive here.

Earbuds are the bane of my existence. Dynamics in music recording sucks now. Because of earbuds recording engineers compress music to absolute death so it sounds passable thru them.

Following my boxing session yesterday my fingers hurt like ****. Also last two times I've gone and done my jump rope I've gotten really horrible stitches in my stomach to where I have to stop. But not like, when I'm actually working hard in the gym.

Also, I can't stay up. At all. I eat healthily, get exercise etc but when my brain realizes I am home it just shuts down and I have to go to sleep and I can't fight it. So usually I take a 15 minute nap and I'm fine. Well sometimes it changes from nap to sleep. Last night I was falling asleep at 7. I get 8 hours of sleep every night too. It really bothers me that I just can't stay awake like a regular person.

Well, as long as it is not an advertising firm.

For whatever reason I have noticed the same with pears. I remember some mind blowingly good pears when I was a child. Now they go from rock hard to rotten over a seemingly 30 second period.

This makes no sense. I mean, nothing in this post is true either factually or scientifically.

Re: food in most American supermarkets nowadays. Yeah, it sucks. I think there was a discussion about it on SF some time ago. A lot of it isn't due to commercial farming per se but more so with the rise of national food distributors and megamarts.
