    This. Fuck man this world is so spoiled by a long peace that people don’t fucking understand the stakes anymore.

    Apparently we are rapidly approaching another period of time where just nicely begging people to take this shit seriously isn’t enough and we are going to have to kill a hundred million people or so for another generation can learn this same fucking lesson we’ve been repeating for some 40,000 years.

    But no, Love Island is on, so feel free to ignore the incipient fascism bearing down on you and condemn your children to a world where that won’t be possible.



  • Get into the emotional state while you are writing, and get your crying out then. The trick to public speaking is always the same - practice enough that it gets boring. Also, if you cry in the middle of it that’s fine too, because shit is sad, and nobody is going to hold it against you.















  • Chipotle was only one of the bigger players, but there were tons of smaller local burrito shops which simply don’t exist anymore, at least not on the east coast. Maybe things are different in California and Texas, but like I said in another comment, my college town had two amazing local burrito places which I ate at all the time, and they both went out of business in the mid/late 2000s and were unironically replaced by a Cava and a bubble tea shop. If you can’t tell, I am still bitter about this. The children are wrong and they need to understand why.

    From my perspective Chipotle was just a bellwether anyway. I remember all of a sudden around like 2004 or 2005 when it just seemed to switch from people ordering 80% burritos to 80% bowls overnight. I don’t even remember them advertising bowls heavily until after the (objectively incorrect) shift in consumer preference. It killed the local places, it killed the “overstuffed” wars, and now it seems like your average chipotle cook can’t actually roll a burrito properly because nobody orders them.



  • Good. Rice/grain bowls are fucking burrito nihilism and the worst thing millennials have done. If you want a fucking burrito then order one. Take it with you and eat it on the go. It’s a sustainable, self contained, portable meal, unlike its deconstructed evil cousin which involves plastic and utensils and you can’t even eat it while walking. Seriously fuck these things so hard. I fucking hate how they have completely killed burrito culture and innovation because some delicate fucking tryhards refuse to eat with their hands as God intended.
