Something I've noticed since we've been walking the dog a lot more post Covid-outbreak. Very few people walk on the correct side of the road. It surprises me a bit. Especially as it gets dark, there are streets in my neighborhood where a car can't see you until the last second--not a time to have your back to them.
It's awful. Just awful. And what prompted my comment. Just below not offering a pure chronological feed option on the list of frustrations.Quote:

I also recognize that as the product, someone my age who just wants to share pictures of my kids with my family and friends and look at their kids/vacations is not at all their target demo, I don't use the app the way they want it to be used. I hate the stories and never ever watch them, I almost completely follow people I know personally, no "influencers" in my feed, I try not to interact at all with ads, I hide everything they try to suggest, I'm not on facebook so I can't link anything back, account is private, privacy settings maxed out. They wouldn't care if I deleted it (or even I suspect if all the other people my age deleted it).
But I probably would actually pay for the option to have a circa 2016 Instagram instead of the one that exists for "free." Every single "upgrade" since then has been a negative in my view (with the sole exception of being able to do multiple pictures in one post). I think there was briefly an app you could get that would scrape Instagram data and more or less give you a clean, chronological feed. But naturally facebook killed it. I am super cheap when it comes to this kind of thing, but that's one place I'd maybe be willing to spend at least a little money.
But I don't think it will improve. Users have complained about the chronological thing for 4-5 years now. It's universally what people want but they'll never do it because they're convinced they make more ad money this way (and they may be right). Same for the new suggested feed thing. If you look on Twitter or you Google "can I hide suggested feeds" you will find 100% agreement. EVERYONE hates it. But as long as they think it'll keep you around and get more ads in your face, it will not be going anywhere.
What's the best seasoning to put on popcorn?
Y'all traditionalists? Just butter and salt? Get spicy with Tony's? Something more exotic? We like to mix it up some, and have been trying some new stuff during corona season.
try olive oil, salt, ground pepper and a splash of garlic powderQuote:

That was a funny episode. Kramer lost his candy/mint on the surgery table. LOL!Quote:

We've tried all three of these that Alton uses over the summer and like them all. The cheese powder is probably the favorite of those (at least for me and the daughter), but I really liked the Furikake and Nutritional Yeast, too.

Everything but the Elote or Everything but the Bagel also good.
Or just about any combination of the above.
Maybe I just like popcorn.
I do Molly McButter in my oil for the butter flavor and then just salt. Salt has to be the fine popcorn salt. Semi-purist.
That was my thought as I reading your post. This guy really likes popcorn no matter what is on it.Quote:
