I don't see what there is to "get". I understand what you are saying. I'm saying that you are projecting meaning onto the meme that isn't there, or are trying to conflate it with some other meaning. The point still stands, regardless of how your body reacts to hunger, that if your nausea is persistent regardless of whether or not you have eaten recently, then your issue isnt simply related to whether you have eaten, is it? There is nothing to get beyond that.

Most places around here are in the $10-20 range for a lunch, particularly causal places like a burger joint. I can even get a giant sushi bowl for like 15 near my office. Tacos, chicken, thai, indian...

There is even an awesome healthy food place called Brassica (highly recommend if there is one near you) that I can get a massive sandwich at for under $10 without meat, $12 with chicken, up to $14 with slow cooked brisket. And it is filled to the brim with awesome tasting yet still healthy stuff made in house (housemade wood fired pita bread, mixed greens with a lemon dressing, hummus/baba ganouche, pickled veggies, roasted veggies, garlic/pepper/herb sauces, feta, etc). And even if I get a big helping of Brisket, it comes in under half the price of that burger and fries. There is no excuse for ground beef, a slice of cheese, some condiments and raw veggies on bun to be more than double that price. These places are 4 minutes from each other.

3 men who never lived at the same time as one another, with very different politics, with basically no connections at all except that they each served as President (in this, the worst timeline, at least). Each apparently drawing a map of the united states together, simultaneously, with quills, and upside down. And looks like Washington is drawing well west, even of the Luisiana Purchase territory which happened after his death, and Lincoln looks like he may be clear up in Canada beyond Winnipeg. Trump and Lincoln have to be sitting hip to hip. And of course, Trump is shouldering out Lincoln, and his goard is so big, he is halfway to a bobblehead.

So glad we are putting people out of work, polluting towns, using up natural resources, and enriching the worst people in the world for this slop.

There are 3 steps in the meme. "Nauseated and having not eaten." "Eating." "And nauseated after having eaten." So this person is clearly nauseated for reason beyond hunger or having eaten, unless their nausea before was cause from hunger and the nausea after was caused by eating spoiled food.

Also hunger does not cause me nausea, so... no can't say I relate directly. It can for my wife though, so I have dealt with that situation. But if she was nauseated, ate something, and then was still nauseated, then clearly it wasnt the hunger causing her nausea. It was something else, like a flu, meds, or digestive issues.

If you feel nauseated regardless of whether or not you have eaten, then there is no correlation to your state of having eaten with your nausea. Something else must be causing your nausea. If it is temporary, maybe a stomach bug or some medication. If it is chronic, maybe GERD/acid reflux or gastritis.

After we were required to start working on office a couple years ago, I decided to explore the area for a while, trying new potential lunch places. I found this little out of the way craft burger place with something like "2023 best burger in the city award winner" painted on their fence.

I thought, "Sweet, this ought to be a pretty good burger". I sat down, checked out the menu, ordered a burger that sounded good (something simple) along with some fries and a water. Didn't look at the price while browsing the menu because... it's a small burger place. Even if it won an award a few years ago, how much could it cost? By the time I even thought to consider it, I'd already ordered and the menu was gone, so I wouldn't find out until the check came.

I figured 15 dollars for a nice craft burger wouldn't be an unreasonable expectation. I could even see around 20, since we are in the burbs of a metro area, which tends to make things a bit more expensive, though this didn't seem like an expensive joint... Turns out it was 28 dollars and change after tax. I about choked when I saw the total. And this was before beef prices went crazy the last year or so.

The burger was good. It was not 28 dollars good. I haven't been back since. I've also heard similar stories from coworkers "Good, but not good enough for the price". Whoever is keeping them in business is getting fleeced. There's no way that that burger and fries cost them more than $5.00 in ingredients, tops. That's a hefty ass margin.

Please, give me a reason that it has every been justified to take a picture of a prisoner with this sort of giddy celebration and mockery. How does that look anything but out of touch and vile?

I agree with all but point 2. She'd salivate at having an entire plane "persecuting" her. Looking like the victimized minority in a society against you is the fiction that these morons are trying to portray. They want to feel like that last few good Christians in a world turned against them while ignoring that the vast majority of our society believe more or less the same shit as them or at the very least, treat Christianity as the default in the US culturally.

Your opinion is bad then. And I realize the irony of saying that with my username.

Fair, yeah. The construction is less expensive because it only requires one bridge/overpass. Actually, I think the diverging diamond interchange may actually be cheaper, partly becuase of the smaller footprint but also even without considering land costs. But those are not common and can be confusing for people unfamiliar with them (you have to actually cross oncoming traffic and drive across the bridge on the "wrong" side). But they are cheaper, generally safer despite the crossover and far more efficient. And as far as I know, they will work anywhere the clover works. Maybe they'll stop using those abominations.

Primary symbol for religion is a medieval torture device often including the active torture of their messiah. Messiah's zombie corpse walks the earth again after 3 days of decay. Regular ritualistic symbolic cannibalism ceremonies (or actual cannibalism if Catholic or otherwise believe in transubstantiation). The higher ranking the Angel, the more monstrous/eldritch in nature and appearance. God turns rivers to blood and kills thousands of babies in Egypt, and every person and animal on Earth but a single boat in the Flood over personal grievances. Destroy two cities for the crime of being inhospitable to two visiting angels, sparing only the one man, Lot, and his family that show them hospitality, but also murder his wife for the crime of looking upon the destruction by turning her to salt. And also Lot's daughters intoxicated and rape him to have his children.

The Bible is dark, man. And Christians normalize all this shit.
