Also the idea of yet another way or reason to exclude young people from society, yet another way to make them other or less than is the opposite of what modern society needs, and should be treated as fundamentally offensive.
I'm a forgettable nobody, so, Michael Cera.
Like having cancer and AIDS at the same time.
More money going to the steadily employed and no missed payments crew, i.e. those who need relief the least.
It also became memeable and noteworthy because it's it's drastically off tone for the comic strip it came from. Generally a light hearted series and then BAM, have something that in context is utterly brutal.
Nowadays it's so divorced from it's context that it's essentially just a meme.
I told my wife, the day I see an actual fucking doctor when my appointment time is, I'll either die of shock or but a lottery ticket.
In my experience you're lucky if some not-an-MD is checking your weight and blood pressure within half an hour, but if you're five minutes late they're sending you a bill for them doing literally nothing and canceling you entirely. I've never seen anybody so high on their own fucking importance while at the same time showing not the slightest smidgen of respect for the time of anyone else unfortunate enough to have to interact with them.
I wish I had a job where I could fuck up the timing of every single task every single day that consistently and still be employed. Not that I would, because I recognize that other people's time matters.
Except then they send you a bill for services not rendered and act like that's legitimate.
Literally the opposite of the Constitution.
I know. I was commenting on their quality in that part. Sorry to be unclear.
For me it's not about the coffee. I grew up on Tasters Choice.
I won't drink Nestle instant because Nestle is up to their goddamn eyeballs in slave labor and they're probably one of the worst corporations in the world. I try everything I can not to buy their products.

Sounds like how the people of Palestine feel all the time.
I used to do Renaissance Faires.
"Wild Mountain Thyme" was the song the entire cast sang together at the end of each day, my first year.
It hits me like a truck every time.
So why do so many keep dying?
Because these deaths are caused by murderous assholes with over-inflated egos and immunity to consequences. ACAB.
I stand corrected.
The irony of the title is still true, though.
Best budget-ish beans?
I don't make coffee super often... because I'm an absolute heretic and drink Java Monster or Cafe Mocha Soylent and occasionally hate myself... but when I do I want a good cup, something not too bitter or burnt-tasting but with a good flavor.
So I'm looking for something that is... y'know, fancier than Folgers but not exactly Kopi Luak either.
My current go-to is Lavazza Intenso. I just got an aeropress (thanks to all the folks on here who recommended it) and I have a hand burr grinder ... somewhere...
So. What should I be trying, assuming I want tasty coffee that isn't priced like it's made of gold?
