An obvious sign of insecurity. Bacon is fine on its own. But this bacon hates itself and will never be good enough for its father, so it drenches itself in "toppings" to prove how good it COULD be and is willing to debase itself with any sauce Daddy chooses.

FAST COMPANY Article: While retirement typically occurs, after completing a career and saving and investing for it, a new trend is emerging among Gen Z career professionals called "micro-retirement." Micro- retirements involve taking a one to two- week break from work every 12 to 18 months. Gen Z is using micro-retirement to avoid burnout, find greater fulfillment in their work, and enhance their overall well-being. However, it's not just Gen-Z:

'Vacations.'

The word is 'vacations.'

Quality choices

My top 10 movies of the century. Inglorious Basterds Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind In the Mood for Love Zodiac Spirited Away Children of Men There Will Be Blood Parasite No Country for Old Men Mulholland Drive
