  • american here. we definitely have 3 distinct categories of food that are “proper” for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. there is some overlap, but its culturally obvious which foods are for which meals (it doesnt seem weird to me, but i can see how that is weird to everyone else).

    my wife doesnt like breakfast foods and eats things like instant ramen and a coke for breakfast - this is considered very strange here. i still think its weird, and we have been together for 18 years, heh.

    edit: oh, lol… i didnt answer the question. breakfast is my favorite meal. biscuits & gravy and breakfast burritos are my favorites <3






  • my parents were born in 1953 & 1954.

    i was born in 1984. single income household, father is blue collar worker, mother is housewife.

    when i was born, we lived in a big, two-story, full-size single family home in a high cost of living area.

    when i was 3 years old (1987), my parents decided they wanted another house, so they bought one and we moved to an even higher cost of living area. they didnt sell the first house to afford a new one, they just bought another one and we had two houses.

    what the fuck happened.







  • i have a 3 monitor setup for work machine and a 49" 32:9 ultrawide for my home machine. i like them both because of the things i do on them.

    my home rig is regularly for gaming. a single, large, high ppi, high refresh rate, ultrawide monitor is amazing for a gaming-first setup. there is flexibility for off-work productivity here where i split 1/3x3, 2/3-1/3, or even 2/3-2/3 with 1/3 overlap.

    my work rig is regularly for programming, communication (chat, video conference, email, ticket comments), time management, word processing & diffing, testing web clients… i have to do a lot of things. the structured 3-monitored layout is great for me to keep everything in its place and flip between them frequently.

    both multi-monitor and single-monitor setups have their benefits. all that matters is that you choose according to your preference and expected use-case.
