I have dry skin and eczema. Using bar soap on just my hands equals cracking and bleeding. Let alone attempting it on my body or scalp.

Also I have fine, coloured treated hair.

I use pretty standard supermarket brand body wash on my skin and somewhat expensive shampoos on my hair. I use mid range moisturisers. They're all enough to keep my skin in good condition. I'm not prone to breakout though, so my body doesn't need too much intervention.

My point is to say that I need that level of care in my products. Not at huge expense, but some. Your suggestion would have me literally itching and bleeding all over.

Everyone is different but there is a market for a spectrum of products. Bar soap is very unlikely to be the answer for most people.

Yeah keep watching. David and the store is a big thing. The character arcs are worth it. Some very heartwarming stuff coming up with everyone.

Schitts creek.

It was pushed so hard by Netflix when it first came out that I ignored it. Just seemed like an overdone rich fish out of water idea and I just wasn't interested.

I finally got round to it when I think they did another promotional push. After watching it I basically forced every person I know to watch it and it is now a comfort show that I've watched a bazillion times.

But it is just so good.

I've seen this headline but about a woman, with a woman's mug shot.

It's working for me? It's an image of an Australian label.

The good thing is the majority of Vietnamese restaurants are small family businesses that don't charge a lot. So for me pho is an exclusively eat out option. I know any attempt I'd make would be shit and expensive.

Where I am in Australia, if as a group (say of coworkers) talking about a new person, we might be like 'maybe don't say "Jesus fucking Christ" in front of Lisa, I'm pretty sure she's extremely Christian' or 'let's do lunch instead of drinks to celebrate the milestone, I'm pretty sure Vish is Muslim so we don't want him to feel left out'.

Majority of my peers are atheist. Religion only comes up in our lives when we're trying to be inclusive or respectful of the religious minority.

It's funny how some places can't do the same in reverse.

Edit to say, the thing is, to the majority of us, belief in a god is silly hocus pocus, drummed up by humans when we just didn't understand how things worked and the scientific method didn't exist. But as a respectful person living in a society, I live by the rules that you don't make fun of those silly ideas, and also that religion is intrinsically linked to people's cultures too. So I have a live and let live attitude to it.

Pity many Christians can't be that Christian.

I don't think he was until his ego caught up with him. Then whatever you see him in, it's just Leto 'acting', not the character. No immersion.

He also runs a sex cult so there's that too.

Wait.. They don't have that level of detail on the labels?? That's ridiculous? Serving size is arbitrary nonsense.

Yeah but it leaves a cute little impression

Not very. 10 minutes making the dough. 2 to roll into little balls and flatten slightly with fork. About 12 to bake.

Yes. It was a special jime. Although it was ridiculed back then. Even with their jeanetics they couldn't pull this off.

Does your family have to approve of your employment for you to deem it a decent job? My parents don't get this new fangled technology nonsense that I work with. It's just a passing phase in their minds. So is my work indecent?

Does the difficulty of a job make it decent? Does one need to suffer for their wage? Does the ease of a task make it less decent to you?

Which society are you referring to? The USA's? Finland's? Botswana's?

What's a decent job?

No one? I'm sorry but I just think that's unrealistic. People clearly like the food, it's convenient, likely part of a habit or ritual for many people. If people feel like Wendy's, that's where they'll go.

Australian.

Vegemite and cheese sandwiches/on toast. Or Devon and tomato sauce sandwiches. Pretty standard in most houses for young kids.

The part people keep missing with all their "I don't even eat there so I don't care" and "fine, I'll go somewhere else" comments is that every other large chain will be watching this little experiment very, very closely.

People are still going to go to Wendy's. Any boycott is unlikely to make a dent. If this is profitable, watch this become commonplace. I don't even live in the states and this concerns me.

Enshitification may well extend itself to the hospitality sector.

Building colourful skyscrapers next to each other in a tiny city grid, until they combine and fly into the sky. I dunno, reverse 9/11?
