Such a banging album.

Oh dang. I forgot about those. Gonna have to track one down now.

Yessss, I am rewatching it right now and it’s been long enough that I can’t believe how good it is… again.

My mom was always on weird diets growing up and never let us have real butter and she never seasoned anything. Now my sister and I, adults, have adopted a French-level respect for butter in all things. I am fat but enjoy my food a lot more now that it tastes of food.

I pushed too quickly on my french press and an eruption of hot coffee water shot up the sleeve of my robe, which trapped it against my arm long enough to burn the skin. I am hoping for no blister, but I have a 4cm red triangle on my forearm now.

How about a bag with a big dollar sign on it? I even worked at a bank for years and never saw one.

Rrrrrrrobot

Your comment about Deadwood is resonating hard with me. Very well articulated, thank you.

I hated mushrroms my whole childhood. Ate magic mushrooms when I was about 19, and they changed my opinion of mushrroms in general. Like I suddenly appreciated their earthy, woody, umami beauty.

I absolutely love this phrase and am stealing it.

I like the way you think.

I have seen this picture described 100 ways in 100 minutes, but yours is superb. If you tapped his shoulder right now, do you think he would launch himself 10 feet into the air?

Google random d&d question

Unfortunately we are hitting the spongebob-diaper-meme phase of things where wildfires and atmospheric rivers are just all around the globe with increasing frequency and intensity. Count yourself lucky if you aren’t viewing it personally yet. Nowhere will be safe forever.

How can you look around at the world we are living in and have any hope for the long-term future. I am 39 and had already ditched the notions of children or retirement. But now I am rethinking pets as they can’t be guaranteed food and comfort for the next 10+years. We are so screwed. I feel horrible for the younger generations and I believe whatever society exists after the climate reckoning will look back on us as hedonistic monsters.

Yeah, it’s wild how much denial we’re in about this as a society. Neurological damage was widespread. I personally contracted Covid twice (that I know about) and had noticable difficulty with memory and keeping my train of thought. Something that I never had problems with previously. I think for a lot of people, the difference might not be that noticeable, and therefor is being ignored. I was a hypervigilant stress knot all my life. So now I just have even more anxiety because I can’t remember the entire grocery list in my head anymore.

Seems like you got the intended consequence. If you want to be honest and your partner can’t handle that honesty, maybe it is better to keep looking. I have a very hard time maintaining lies to continue relationships, and as a result I have very few, but incredibly high-quality friends.
