Find an asian market near you. The ramen is so cheap there and it’s way better than the ones in the supermarket.

This is the way.

Just a few practical tips for those of you wanting to do this, but feel a bit nervous about dealing with the chicken carcass. Disposable gloves are your friend. Pull off every bit of meat you can possibly pull off. It can be frozen and then used for pretty much anything. You can throw it in tacos. You can put it in ramen soup.You can just eat it. You can share it with your dog or cat, if you can afford one.

If you have an Instant Pot cooker, I have the small three quart sized one, it makes it really easy and quick to simmer the carcass and get all that delicious bone broth. The bone broth can also be used for anything savory you’re making that requires water like rice, instant stuffing, Ramen, couscous. You get the idea.

The film, Triangle of Sadness, presents what could go horribly wrong when you take the customer is always right too seriously. It’s both comical and profoundly disturbing.

It’s not just facial recognition anymore, though, they’re looking at all kinds of other stuff, even how you walk.

In reality, it’s going to screw so much stuff up and do so many things you don’t want it to do, that you’re going end up spending a lot of time just correcting all the mistakes it makes.

And when you’re not fighting to stop it from doing more things you don’t want it to do, you’re going spend your time worrying about what it will do next that you’re going have to fix.

And unless you pay for the most expensive phone and the most expensive tier of service, they’ll probably dumb it down on purpose and your life is going be hard.

Me: Is there milk?

AI: You’re absolutely right to ask if there is milk, you’re not crazy, you’re not paranoid.

Me: Why did you bring up crazy and paranoid? I’m just asking if there’s milk.

AI: I’m using a psychological manipulation technique called presupposition.

Presupposition refers to the underlying assumptions that must be accepted for a statement to make sense. It operates subtly, influencing how people interpret information without their conscious awareness. For example, saying, “I know you’re busy, but can you help me?” presupposes that the listener is indeed busy.

Presuppositions are powerful tools in persuasive communication. They shape the listener’s thought process, guiding them to conclusions without direct assertions. This technique is often used in advertising and political discourse, where implicit messages can be more effective than explicit statements.

My translator is saying Flaftenvaften is a Danish term meaning, “the evening of the fluttering” lol

Furzspaziergang? der Furzgang?

But not as much as cheese!

Bill Hicks Recorded live at the Dominion Theatre, London, 1992:

By the way, if anyone here’s in advertising or marketing… kill yourself. [audience approval] Thank you. Just a little thought… Kill yourself. Seriously though, if you are [in advertising/marketing], do [kill yourself — laughter] … There’s no rationalisation for what you do and you’re Satan’s little helpers, OK? Kill yourself, seriously. You’re the ruiner of all things good, seriously… No, this is not a joke. You’re going: “there’s gonna to be a joke coming”. There’s no fucking joke coming. You are Satan’s spawn filling the world with bile and garbage. You are fucked and you are fucking us. Kill yourself. It’s the only way to save your soul. Kill yourself. [applause, laughter] … I know all the marketing people are going, “he’s doing a joke”… There’s no joke here whatsoever. Suck a tail pipe, hang yourself, borrow a gun from a Yank friend. I don’t care how you do it. Rid the world of your evil fucking machinations.

I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too, “Oh, you know what Bill’s doing, he’s going for that anti-marketing dollar. That’s a good market, he’s very smart.” [laughter] Oh man, I’m not doing that, you fucking evil scumbags. “Ooh, you know what Bill’s doing now, he’s going for the righteous indignation dollar. That’s a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We’ve done research. Huge market. He’s doing a good thing.” Goddammit, I’m not doing that, you scumbags. Quit putting a goddamm dollar sign on every fucking thing on this planet! “Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market. Bill’s very bright to do that.” God, I’m just caught in a fucking web. “Ooh, the trapped dollar, big dollar, huge dollar. Good market. Look at our research. We see that many people feel trapped. If we play to that and then separate them into the trapped dollar…” God, how do you live like that? I bet you sleep like fucking babies at night, don’t you? “What did you do tonight honey?” “Oh, we made ah, we made ah, arsenic ah, childhood food now, goodnight.” [lies down and snores] “Yeah, we just said you know is your baby really too loud? You know?” [snores] “Yeah, it’ll… you know the mums will love it.” [snores] [stands up] Sleep like fucking children, don’t you? This is your world isn’t it?
