Living in a Bubble (and AITA)
Ep 40 ends with a few AITA (including an update from a previous entry). But first, Ed had a good Thanksgiving as his cousin's house to see 8 week old puppies but had to cook the turkey and the stuffing. Ed hasn't been on Tik Tok in a week for a mental health break and instead got a PS5. Ed recorded his first true crime podcast episode (Patterns of Behavior). Susie had a good family dinner on Wednesday instead of Thursday, to not celebrate a colonist holiday. Susie cooked everything but the turkey but didn't get as complimented because the turkey was smoked. Susie makes Watergate salad. Susie uses every Thanksgiving Thursday to teach her daughters about Indigenous People and to be aware. Dried fruits and overcooked translucent vegetables make Susie's eyes hurt. Both Ed and Susie are in a "funk" with making content especially because of all the things happening in the world and discuss people potentially being in an information bubble due to the algorithm - like the information about Black Friday and boycotts. Ed clears up information about Gaza during Thanksgiving with family; and Susie is posted about on FaceBook by her childhood friend. AITA this round include: and update on Kung Pao Chicken. AITA for looking out for a co-worker telling her some people may find her food offensive. AITA if I call the police on my Asian parents for abuse.
