After living in NY for 15 years, there’s almost no one I know of, personally or like friend-of-a-friend, who was able to attain a career in acting/comedy, who wasn’t from a wealthy family and had to hold down a regular job. I have worked shitty double jobs with unwealthy people who tried to make it work, but…

I think the difference here between plumbers and movie stars is several orders of magnitude of money and influence, and the fact that there are significantly fewer people attempting to become plumbers than become famous. For every Colin or Chet, there are literally thousands of people whose dream is access to the one…

“Pretty much. Any child of a famous actor isn’t going anywhere in Hollywood unless that have some talent to back it up.”

“Kind of reminds me of when people bitch about generational wealth in the US like it’s actually a big thing.”

That’s a false comparison though because Colin Hanks doesn’t only act in his dad’s movies like the son of a plumber could work for his dad’s Plumbing Hanks & Son company. He’s plumbing for plenty of other plumbers, I mean movies

All at once?

Everything, Everywhere.

I’m so confused what you’re mad about.

All good reasons. But it’s not easier or faster. 

Because nothing screams “working-class hero” like a fishnet bodysuit and tinsel frock.

“It’s easier, cheaper and no more time to make it from scratch.”

It’s easier and faster to gather a bunch of ingredients, chop them up and/or open cans of tomatoes, and stand around and cook sauce than to open a jar? I agree that cheaper may fit, but it’s definitely not easier or no more time to make it from scratch. It takes 5 seconds to open a jar.

smucker’s doesn’t own circles just like Apple doesn’t own rounded rectangles and fruit.

They should work on making their food edible instead

“At my local Whole Foods in Brooklyn...”

Gluten-free is code for “it’s a scam!”

Most of these were probably discontinued because they didn’t sell.  And considering most of these are gluten free and for ever 1 person with an actual gluten intolerance there were 7 or 8 that went gluten free because it was trendy.

“Although Italians aren’t particularly fond of the Irish, ...”

Once again “searched for” ≠ “popular” . When will this crap ever stop? 

I confess, I wasn’t sure that they even used ovens.  The crumbl cookie I had seemed to work on the principle - “If we use ingredients that are safe to eat raw, we can serve people seriously underbaked cookies so they will mistake that texture for a pleasant one.”
