At the very least, can we agree that rectangular pizza on Fridays is a basic human right?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Taco Tuesday though...

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I get free lunch at work. Absolute game-changer.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Because feeding people is Communism or something.

You want free lunch for kids.

I want free kids for lunch.

We are not the same

One of my local food banks has a community dinner once a month. The food isn't anything to write home about, but it's free.

The food isn't anything to write about

Using that phrase in writing always tickles my funnybone with its inherent self-contradiction 😁

Sometimes I think about how we might make a public dining hall that people would choose to eat at, rather than go as a last resort. Sort of how U.S. public housing is dumpy while some European social housing is actually desirable.

I don't know how it is in other states, but in Florida, a company called Red Apple Dining owns the cafeteria. I hate this company because not only are they providing lower quality foods for profit, they do not allow anywhere else on campus to have a kitchen besides home ec, so now students can't choose to have a better option besides bringing a cold lunch to school. The school I'm working at has an old kitchen that students would use for projects or fun and now it goes unused because of Red Apple Dining establishing anti-cooking rules. Florida education sucks.

But how else will capitalist society coerce people into wage slavery? Next up you're gonna tell me people should not be homeless either?!! What kind of dystopian society is this where everyone has food on the table?!! /s

The boomers free lunch was the planet they ate up. Nah I know it's the rich I'm j/k, but why give them free anything yeah, the children yearn for them mines and meatpackers.

Kids need to grow strong so they can be brainwashed into doing the bidding of the ruling class.

The elderly are too set in their own ways to be brainwashed efficiently, and too weak to get exploited efficiently anyways.
