… back in nineteen ninety eight…

As an American, I completely agree. It’s gotten so bad that this attitude has leached from the suburbs where larger homes and kitchens exist into the city where there just isn’t enough space. My friends think I’m being silly for not wanting an air fryer when I already have a convection oven or an instant pot when I already have a slow cooker and pressure canner. I’m very anti single use equipment or duplicate equip for the very reason that I don’t have space and it’s often a waste of money. But it seems like everyone around me just buys whatever and doesn’t think too much about where it’s going to go or how much they will use it and I just don’t understand it :/

I live in Chicago. What happens here is our insurance goes up to help supplement the increased coverage needed in places with increased disasters :)

Yes and it’s quite amazing. Not really anything like the original other than that it involves the Oregon Trail. I forget where, but there is a video game archive that allows you to play it in browser. Was able to play it for the first time in maybe 20 years and it was a lot of fun!

This is how I feel about Breaking Bad. At first, you feel kind of bad for Walt and his situation, but that should quickly chang especially as the seasons go on and he reveals how much more of a piece of shit he really is. But I also distinctly remember as people watched the show in real-time how fans would idolize Walt. Really baffled me at the time.

I was going to take this opportunity to plug one of the vexillology circle jerk communities, but they both seem pretty dead. So I’ll just enjoy this cool rat flag and be on my way.

Don’t put your dick in that

This is why it would be hard for me to make a fruit tier list. I think you need to have 2 lists, a list for each fruit at mid and a list for each fruit at its best. For example, I tend to eat apples, strawberries, or grapefruits pretty regularly even when they are not at their best because I still enjoy them at mid so in my mind they would be top of the mid list. But something like a peach or a pineapple will be at the top of the other list even though I probably won’t eat them at mid. I have a simple rule for peaches which is if I am in the store and I can smell them, I have to buy them. Works every time and I get damn good peaches that way. I’ve always wanted to try a fresh peach off a tree and I imagine it’s like fruit heroin.

See… You have to get into the mind of a straight man from the 1950s and ask yourself one of 2 questions: Is this a woman’s thing? Or would I fuck this thing? Cars are considered “beautiful” and “sexy” and therefore fuckable by a man. I hope this has been a good lesson in outrageous sexism.

This already exists!!! I typically can find them at gas stations and airports.

Thanks for the suggestion!

My friends and I started an “Indie Game Club” which is similar to a book club but for indie video games. It’s really helped to branch out and try new things that I wouldn’t usually try. And of course, if you finish the game fast enough, you can get back to the one game you have 10000+ hours in. But I’d say probably 1/3 of the games we’ve played I liked so much that I didn’t want to stop playing and go back to my usual and used the whole time to just keep playing. It’s been an excellent experience!

I’m watching The Chair Company which is Tim Robinson’s latest show. I can’t recommend it to everyone, but if you’re into his style of comedy, you’ll love this show. It’s framed as a serious mystery drama, but there’s so many rediculous jokes sprinkled in I can’t help but laugh in spite the serious tone.

I always return my cart rain or shine no matter how far away the return is. But there was one time I didn’t when I moved to a new neighborhood and went to the local grocer for the first time. This particular store shared a parking lot with a hardware store. I parked in a spot I thought was on the grocery store side of the lot, but I guess not? I bring my cart out and I’m almost to my car when suddenly the wheels lock up and I can’t move the cart anymore. turns out they have a system in their carts to prevent people from stealing them. But I guess the zone for that is up to interpretation because I really feel like I was parked on the grocery side of the lot even if off to the side a bit. I ended up leaving the cart and just walked my groceries to my car. I blame the store for not properly marking the zone or improperly setting it in the first place. Not much I could do about it otherwise.

I love Redlettermedia and that was a great series!

The fake sugar garbage has gotten out of hand. I had to start making my own granola because most of the granola had fake sugar in it. I’m glad I did tho. I can make it with whatever I want in it and no one can stop meeeeeee!

During COVID lockdowns, my husband and I started coming up with movie anthologies or themes we could watch so we would A) always know what to watch next and B) further educate ourselves in film. My favorite anthology to date has been John Carpenter. I had never seen a John Carpenter movie before and we went through all of them and it was a blast. But out of all of his films, The Thing was by far the most impactful. My husband and I both grew up on the Internet and are highly desensitized to gross and scary things. But we were both on the edge of our seats while also appreciating the masterful prosthetics and puppetry that went into that movie. I always have to warn people, that I can’t recommend it enough but it’s not for the faint of heart. Definitely one of the Great horror films ever made.

“trying to teach 3…”

Why waste time say lot word when few do trick?

That’s fair. I don’t even want to know what a Jack’s pizza is made out of. Probably compacted crack.
