C rations!
Because they resemble hard tack? Or another reason?
Making rations that are palatable and store well has been a very old problem.
Heh. He’s probably as annoyed by these women as you are. Stereotyping like a banshee here but…You’re dealing with what I was starting to get issues with, only on steroids…or hormones. I thank God for one big thing, Covid…or maybe I should thank Fauci…for providing me an exit at the right time.
There has been, for many decades, a lack of respect for older people in our society. Boomers brought this on them/ourselves. I would see it and point it out on occasion only to get snapped back by some of the very same people I see bitching about it now. It amplifies with each succeeding generation. Throw females, millennials, SF on top of it and it’s a wonder you’re handling it this well.
And of course what aelf and pst said. Also keeping in mind this.
I wouldn’t worry about it. No shame in goldbricking in the current environment/world. Just do what you think needs to be done and f*** ‘em if they can’t handle it.
Curious to know what part of evolutionary theory encompasses it.
A scrotum only implies a testicle.
You, in fact, do.
Dry, flavorless, and would disintegrate if you tried to put the cheese or peanut butter on them, only enough jam for one to make sort of edible.

[ Hurries into store room, sounds of rummaging. ]
[ Returns with enormous, dusty portrait, measuring almost two metres across. ]
[ Points to portrait. ]
This is my innocent face.
The obviously middle-aged gadding about in clothes more suitable (if that’s the word) for adolescents don’t exude much in the way of dignity, of gravitas.
It’s still got the price tag attached.
What?
