Sad that people are gonna send her research they've actually spent time on only for her to at best completely ignore it, at worst use it as her own

Honestly I predict this last at most a week, she will get her arse handed to her, someone better will come along with FACTS!

It will come to nothing and next weekend we will be howling over a different chaos!

As some earlier said you don't have to be smart to write an essay but research especially to this degree will take along time. It's taken her ten years to get this far and that just with recepits from one bargain supermarket when there is tonnes.

I'm screaming at her thinking she has a snowball in hell's chance of finishing this by the end of the weekend, considering she couldn't finish writing her regurgitated slop manual with almost a year's worth of deadline extensions, or even post the one recipe she promised to the other day.

This price index thing she's making.

Exhibit 1



It IS a huge job, she's not wrong

Exhibit 2



It'll take a weekend.

Huge/big/complicated job v it'll take a weekend.


Make it make sense.

Suffering fuck, what a pile of shite. So stock cubes have gone up in price over the last decade along with everything else (Aldi stock cubes 35p btw). The bigger issue is why have wages not gone up. If we want to pay farmers a fair price then food must go up but then so must wages and benefits. All she has done is repeat herself over and over. She is not going anywhere, she writes. Clinging on to her 5 seconds of fane abd those precious patrons more like.

You know what takes a weekend to pull together?

Pulling a Friday-Sunday all-nighter to bash out as many Office USs as you can.

Now that is A HUGE JOB.

Why is she ripping off a famous character from a loved book.

Love please stop ruining things and for once come up with a title on your own.

Also I am not professor but one supermarkets worth of recepits would maybe get her a third at dissertation level at best.

I think the supermarkets are ignoring her. She’s not that well know, people aren’t going to stop buying food because of that she says.
now if Marcus was saying it….

Speaking of which, she now has 255. I think thats 4 more today.

She doesn’t care about wages. She isn’t salaried.

How relevant is this theory, when coming a woman with an overabundance of (ugly) shoes...
How relevant is this theory anyway? When applied to food?
It sounds very pat and clever but I can't understand its application to something like for eg rice?
Good quality food will last the same time as poorer quality food won't it?

Grunking but i would like to apologize. Sainsburys website had the stock cubes listed but I did not see the "not currently available" text.

Honest mistake m'lud

Still grunking, but we have a reddit squiggle (riggle?) No other posts though.

Had a very similar, mind-shrivelling convo with my love. It’s the overarching unfairness and mistrust of the elite and JM is giving it some air time. Neither of us like performative BS or appropriation so I just asked my partner to fact check JM broadly (she loves a fact check). She looks like I did when I first realised it (JMs mumblings) is all utter shoite.
