1) The US variant of bologna is extremely underrated and is not a bad sandwich meat at all. The only reason why so many people hate it is because they put it on a sandwich that was already shit to begin with. There are too many people out there who throw a slice of meat between two pieces of bread, add few if any condiments or supplementary ingredients to it, and then get mad at their meat selection (in this case, US bologna) when the sandwich turns out to be ass.
2) Frozen pizzas have quietly superseded mainstream chain pizza places in both quality and value. There is no reason to buy Pizza Hut, Domino's, etc in 2024 when the the Aldi's down the street sells a far superior extra large specimen for a paltry 8 dollars. There is still a case to be made for small local pizza places (particularly if they're owned and operated by Italians), however.
3) Food prices actually haven't increased that much within the past 3 years. It's processed food that is nuking everyone's food budget right now, not fresh meats, fresh fruits and vegetables (or that 20lb bag of medium-grain rice that I buy from Walmart that has stayed 12 dollars for the past 2 years).
4) Gaming is not dead. In fact, this is the single greatest era of gaming in recorded history. There has been an explosion in the number of titles being produced by small development teams that offer hours of entertainment for a modest price in recent years. People just need to spend more time at their local independently-operated game shop (mainly to tap into older titles because there are tons of old gems from the early to mid 2000s that people are seriously sleeping on) or on other online game retailers like GoG if they want a better gaming experience.
5) People worry too much about what other people think about them or what other people are doing. People should give fewer shits about other people and instead invest most of their shits into themselves.
Not giving a fuck is truly a lost art.
