I know it's not news, but something about "masks on except for official photos" just really gets to me. Something about how serious they take covid when the cameras contrasted with the public "everything's fine, whatvid-19 is ~~over~~ just a cold, don't worry about it" messaging.

Edit: just saw 2021, I've adjusted accordingly but the point still stands

Look, he was on a winning streak and his friend said "no logging off til we lose", it's not his fault he was up all night!

Not that I've found, I'm still in the early chapters where he talks of his childhood, his apprenticeship to a furrier, his early political education, and being drafted into the army in 1915.

It's an interesting side note, but he outlines that the artisans weren't nearly as politically involved as factory workers and other proletarians because the artisan class was more focused on their individual advancement and the possibility of opening their own shops while the factory workers had no hope of ever starting their own factories and so were more involved in labour organization

He's a petite bourgeois parasite who underpays you for your produce, overcharges the townsfolk, and takes credit for high quality produce you sell him. Plus he's got that Mr Beast brain disease that makes him think enjoying himself is a waste of potential earning time, he never participates in festivals and instead operates a popup shop.

The only thing he has going for him is his opposition to Jojo, but that's not even on moral grounds, he just wants his own petite monopoly without the threat of a massive corporation running him out of business. Oh, and he punches the Jojo manager whats-his-nuts (I never interact with Jojo outside mandatory cutscenes) if you encourage him to.

It's scary and oppressive when the state blocks websites but Freedom™ when Buffalo Wild Wings does the same

I've found the secret is going to Chinatown/wherever your local Asian diaspora shops and buying them there, they're often cheaper than or at least comparable to Mr Noodles or other generics. No hate on those, they've served me well, but they aren't nearly as good as some random $0.75/$1 Korean spicy noodle pack

I've been getting random Korean/Japanese instant noodles and dressing them up with some pan fried veggies and maybe a boiled egg. It's been great, one pack of noodles on its own isn't that filling but once it's rounded out with some veg its a much better meal
