I like how this users history is just animal communities and shit posting.
The closest thing to flowers I ever received was a cactus. It died.
LPT: If you want to keep her, you get her both at the same time.
But I only have $5.00 🥲
A flower and half a chicken?!!
Haha, you’ll have to repay the debt another way then, brokie.
But the chicken looks like shit in a vase after like 1 day whether you water it or not.
Rookie mistake, you forgot to take the meat off and bleach the bones. Sure, it’s a lot of work, but a glass vase full of chicken bones is a time-honored legacy.
That would be me. I would tear into that fucker right on the drive home.
Or you can get her a hotdog combo and still have $3.50 left to spend for yourself.
Three fiddy?
You may fascinate a woman with a piece of cheese 🧀
I am not a woman, but I would be fascinated too
Fun fact: if you are ever on a plane with a crying baby take a slice of cheese and carefully place it on the babies face. The parents will be so happy with you for calming the baby.
I read that on Reddit at some point. It seems like solid advise.
Roquefort works best.
I’m a man, but… what kind of cheese?
I always advise Morbier
Tempting, yes. Add some variety and I’m in. I didn’t have Epoisses in a while, and I’d love a good Brie. Taleggio! Oh god, I’m so hungry :-(
Époisses is really good with a tawny port. At first glance it seems like a flavor mismatch as the port is quite strong, but it conjures up a magical honey like aroma, which is uncanny.
Bank holiday in Germany prevents me from buying more cheese right now. All I have left is some Appenzell and Gorgonzola. Sheep’s or goat’s cheese as well. I have to check, but I think there’s some port in my poison vault as well.
Ah, us swamp Germans don’t let
bankChristian holidays interfere with capitalism that often :p.Another cheese tip, but one that’s hard to get outside of burgundy, is Cîteaux. A really unique take on reblochon, that has a sharp, tangy note in it. I always pick that up when travelling through there.
Labor Day, so no labor at all.
I think I had Cîteaux before, but I’m not sure. Whenever I’m in France I throw idiotic amounts of money at their dairy industry. And buy all the Belgian beer I can carry.
Also those Costco chickens are way better than regular grocery store chickens from like Safeway or whatever. They’re way bigger and juicier, I think they’re brined or something. It’s like other stores aren’t even trying.
Got to admit, Costco product are always A class products.
As an AroAce women I think the choice is very obvious :3
(Especially if garlic bread is a side dish with the chicken and maybe a salad)
Or get a chicken bake, a hot dog and a soda and still have money left over.
Edit: I just went to costco and their chicken bakes are 3.99 not 2.99 😭
I can go out into a field and pick a whole cute looking bucket of flowers. Chicken it is.
In that case, do both. Cause I’m already counting on chicken.
or, like, a whole egg
Problem is, she’s vegan, so she’s against picking flowers and against eating chicken.
It’s best you just save the money for a month or several and buy her LEGO.
Get out of here oligarch. No working man has LEGO money in 2025.
Lego is like the modern version of roman families handing down their armor and weapons to future generations BC ain’t no fucking way they affording a whole new set each damn time the Gauls start acting up.
Especially when the old armor is solid metal, best quality on the market, while the new armor is plastic crap made in China, still trying to position itself as market leader.
If they’d had Lego they could build fresh armor to fit
I really hope my mom hasn’t gotten rid of my lego collection after I moved out like she did with my rocketry collection without asking me…
And no oligarch will spend 500€ on a crap LEGO car when a real (used) one costs less. And while Cada has much better ones for 200€.
Wait, why are vegans against picking flowers? Broccoli is a flower! It needs to be picked before eating!
Lots of vegans, and non-vegans, are anti-picking-of-flowers, because if you leave them to live, they live longer and look prettier, instead of wilting sadly in a vase until they’re fully dead.
So for some people, it’s better to give them a live plant, so they can kill it by accident on their own time.
Ive been vegan for more than a decade and most of my circle is vegan. I don’t think i know of any vegans against cut flowers. The only argument i can see is that if you were cutting flowers found in the wild then you could be harming the environment which indirectly hurts the wildlife and pollinators. But i think most vegans would be ok with buying flowers. My wife and i also just grow our own and cut only a fraction of what we plant.
Btw if we’re talking about Costco for chicken, they do have reasonably sized bouquets for as cheap as $10. And while that chicken will be gone in a day or two, Ive kept a Costco bouquet alive for my wife for a minimum of a week.
Picking wild flowers disrupts the circle of life, artificially growing flowers requires energy, fertilizer and insecticides which also disrupts the circle of life. Best option is to buy her broccoli instead. Don’t wrap it though, wrapping paper is basically really flat chopped trees with a layer of chemicals on top. No ribbons either. Maybe some sauce, but not milk/yoghurt/egg-based.
Sure but who said anything about picking wild flowers just to waste them? I propagate wild flowers in my back yard to help native pollinators. They also visit my vegetable garden! I love to see all the different bees and hoverflies!
Broccoli is for sustinance, picked flower will just needlesly die. :P
Don’t you mean get “Us” a rotisserie chicken?
You stay away from my chicken!
Just hear me out, what if instead it was our chicken?
They could have made him look more Staliny.
Why do you people always have to make it about politics??
What do you mean ‘you people’?
Don’t you mean „we“ people?
In mother Russia, chicken eats you!
Just don’t eat the chicken on the way home. You’re asking for trouble.
