Your parents: “We are proud of you to the same extent that we are proud of ketchup”

    Immortality pill and a pill that can kill someone who is immortal (for when I get bored).

    Edit: Properly labeled!

    Fuuuck immortality, give me neverending youth. I wanna die at some point, but don't wanna degrade into old, creepy guy.

    And one keeping a well over the best by date pill at that.

    maybe instead of a pill that can kill an immortal you get a pill that can de-immortal an immortal. That way you still get the element of surprise. Everyone likes surprises, right?

    It would mean more for me to be proud of my dad.

    Also, mustard.

    I hear you.

    You spend your life trying to satisfy the rules of conditional love with nothing but severe negative feedback dotted with moments of seemingly genuine affection... only for it all to be dashed away at the slightest perceived sleight (e.g. you didn't visit one weekend because you had to juggle your own life).

    At this point I'm living with the idea that a form of unconditional love exists deep deep within, but is unable to express itself because it's overpowered by sheer narcissism (the me me me generation were never taught introspection). Why show pride or affection to your kids when petty jealousy and vindictiveness are the main defining traits of your generation.

    I hold onto the good memories as hard as I can (there are quite a few nice ones), but I try not to get my hopes up anymore about the relationship. It is what it is.

  • I had an old coworker who came from the UK (ex military in UK and Navy in US) ask me to grab him a burrito bowl one time at work, I askes whag he wanted in it and he said to tell the person to pack it like his wife was going on vacation and was only allowed one bag. That may be sexist/stereotyping and offensive, but I used that line the next time I got a street dog and he knew exactly what I meant.

    Does chili count as one thing? And cheese.

    Or mayo and relish.

    Or mayo and dijon mustard.

    Or chipotle mayo and caramelized onions.

    Is ketchup sweeter than it used to be? I can't stand it anymore.

    Ketchup has no place on a hotdog. Mustard is the gold standard. Chili, cheese, dijon, and caramelized onions are all acceptable. Tomatoes, pepperoncini, sauerkraut, and pickles are also OK. I have never heard of mayo on a hotdog, is that a Canadian thing or something? I am thinking Canada because they put it on their fries.

    Chicago makes the best hotdog. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago-style_hot_dog

    My favorite part about Chicago being elitist over ketchup is that they add vinegar, sweetness, and tomato to their dogs. If only there was a way to get all that in a single condiment lol

    Seattle makes the best dog I'll die on that hill. Cream cheese, onion, sauerkraut (all optional), an enormous array of do it yourself condiments, and some stoned dude who won't judge you for having preferences

    Sorry we don't offer that here... oh no I mean you can have as much ketchup as you like.

    I'd take mine with chili and pure satisfaction in life, but that would be redundant so chili alone will suffice.

    Chili (without beans) and cheddar cheese. I'll miss not having onions but I can live without.

    Or mustard and sauerkraut.

    If the parents are from Chicago then the ketchup explains WHY they're disappointed

    Your parents aren't proud of you because you choose their acknowledgement over onions on hotdogs.

    Fucking loser
