  • Sorta yeah but most large chains dont really do most of their ordering manually - it’s half if not mostly or completely automated based on sales, trends and size.

    It’s obviously very different in small stores where they expect X amount of product they paid for. But it’s super easy for, say, Walmart, to move inventory around based on possible trends.

    I’m not saying your wrong but it is kinda noticable when my grocery store started carrying lobster a week after I was looking it up on door dash. After not having it for ~10 years or suddenly having 3 frozen geese a month after taking about it after never having it (~18 years at this house).

    I’m not about to spend $130 on a small frozen goose. Or ~$80 on a 1lb lobster. I will, however, spend money on lamb - something I’ve been purposefully bringing up in gchat a lot recently. Something they stopped selling about a decade ago.

    If lamb is suddenly available in the next monthish I’ll respond to this comment - but maybe I’m just noticing trends that don’t exist.


  • Cost, yeah I was thinking about that. Lobster is pretty readily available at other locations nearby (ish),. Same can be said for lamb and goose. Same distribution center just dropping it off at a different store.

    These are things I can buy with only a little travel it’s just now they are immediately available as soon as I talk about it.










  • it’s just easier to say “mostly vegan.”

    I dated a girl who really didn’t care for meat or cheese and was 98% vegan. Her mom was/is a militant vegan, so growing up she just never developed a taste for meat or dairy. She had no problem eating it, but it was far from her go to - the best steak in the world would have been ‘meh’ to her cause it’s wasn’t her jam.

    I get what you’re saying tho. If I understand right, a flexitarian is a vegetarian/vegan by preferred diet but not unwaveringly.








  • Isn’t there a general consesus in sports that testosterone makes a big difference?

    I see where you’re coming from (I heard from a friend who heard from a friend) but I guess that depends on who you’re asking and what the sport is. Golf is hand-eye coordination, practice and skill. Balls or ovaries, it shouldn’t make any difference when it comes to golf.

    Fun fact: bowling, pool and darts are also gendered in many leagues. Pretty sure testosterone wouldn’t be the deciding factor in the winner in those.
