Outta the 3 mentioned, I gotta pick ketchup, but if we're talking favorite sauces or condiments, gotta give it out to toum. The incredible garlic taste in a spread is to die for and works wonders on everything from veggies to steaks to chicken to bread. Seriously, try making a grilled cheese but 86'ing butter and subbing toum. Fuck, that's amazing.

Shout out to kewpie mayo, tho, the condiment I use irresponsibly on so many things it doesn't belong...

We remember the tall people who make these jokes and when the lean times come, it will be you begging us for the food in our larders. We will remember then, too.

If I worked for J.P. Morgan Chase, I'd make a thousand new accounts by distributing VCR cleaner from a float

This is why I dodge some of the big city pride events.

Too many banks.

I think you should try it. I think an hour is appropriate for a lot of the story beats if you have a decent memory, though maybe an hour and a half would be better suited to some of the more involved parts. A lot of this is affected by your reading speed. There's a lot of reading.

For what it's worth, I also played it in bursts, but probably something like 2 hr sessions. There's a lot of rough, serious material in that game and I found it a lot to process at once, so I took breaks between sessions fairly often.

How thorough of an understanding do you want?

One could read Wikipedia pages on the broad strokes of these topics and have a fairly functional definition of both to get on with their daily lives. Or one could take a more academic approach and read Marx and Smith along with other philosophers and economists.

Part of the issue with both methods is that the meaning of Communism and Capitalism seem to change depending who you're talking to and in what context. They are both such contentious topics that there's a great deal of propaganda, misinformation, common misunderstanding and willful ignorance around them.

So, are you hoping to engage in debate (or moreoften argument) about the merits of one or another? Or just hoping to gain enough understanding that you aren't confused when the topics come up in casual conversation? I'd advise against the former. It's exhausting and seems unproductive. At least online. In person, it makes more sense, but you'll have a hard time finding people who are opening to considering changing their opinion on either system. If it's the latter, you can really just make stuff up, it seems like most others do anyway.

These are rich people crimes.

Generally only the poor go to prison, unless the rich person committing the crimes has committed them against people far richer than them.

In terms of Trump's charges, something like only 10% of people with similar convictions go to jail. So it seems unlikely, but it is possible.

I find many beers impact the flavor only just a bit, but a Toasted lager makes a great loaf.

It's a nice way to use up beer you didn't finish or don't like and it's a super easy recipe.

Beer bread is like a simple soda bread; you can do it however you like and it usually turns out good
