Cooking isn’t hard, just burn the house down like the rest of us idiots!

Feel this in my bones. I enjoy reading books, but they go down the memory hole fast for me, especially names.
- Comment on Anon questions the epidemic 4 days ago:
Sex, relationships, and loneliness are all distinct domains. There’s important overlap to be sure. But they are not the same things. You can be a casanova and still be lonely. You can be stuck in a bad marriage and feel very lonely indeed.
I think a lot of modern people (regardless of gender identity) have problems making and keeping friends, too. Long-term friendships take work, sacrifice, and compromise. It’s not just compatible interests and personalities.

Yup. The inside of the windshield gradually gets cloudy from all the plastics inside the vehicle slowly off-gassing. Soapy water, a squegee, and a microfiber do wonders.

Some recommend heat, some recommend cold, some recommend alternating between them. My back was ‘seizing up’ and the heat seemed to relax it. I mostly think it’s just something to do while waiting for the drugs to kick in.
- Comment on In solidarity with my GenX brethren, with added falling on my ass at work 1 week ago:
Several months ago, I was moving some boxes in the attic and torqued my lower back just wrong. Felt like I had a spear stabbed into me. Could barely move. Had to park myself on a heating pad and take a liver-destroying dose of an NSAID to recover.
- Comment on A reminder 1 week ago:
There are almost 24M millionaires in the US alone. A millionaire in 2026 honestly isn’t all that impressive anymore, thanks to inflation. I’m not saying we should feel sorry for them, just that it’s not the instant easy classification that it used to be.
As for billionaires, those should not exist, IMHO. A billionaire is a symptom of a broken ecinomy, not a worthy goal.

“Hearing a beloved song used in a late stage capitalism commercial for prescription drugs may cause moderate to severe emitional damage. If ear bleeding continues, call your doctor.”

“Mutually assured destruction doctrine”.
Or maybe I conflated it with mothers against drunk driving.

My nonexpert understanding is, few people are 100% straight or 100% gay. And it can shift over time, too.
There’s so much defensive BS around what people are into / aroused by. I’m not saying everyone should share everything to everyone all the time. But I really wish folks would be less fearful about what they like.
As long as you aren’t attracted to kids, corpses, or animals, I think everything else is probably OK. Even couches, if that’s your thing.

Guessing it will be called The Stupid Ages, or maybe The Antichrist Years, depending on who is in charge.

Too late.

Aprons are great.
I should probably get one.
- Comment on Anon follows the rules 4 weeks ago:
There’s a certain type who thinks it’s a big adult flex to act exhausted by work, being annoyed with their family, and getting drunk to drown their self-inflicted sorrows. They’ve always been pathetic. I think (hope) it’s a dinosaur that’s slowly going extinct.

…and then a wah-wah guitar started playing…and the hot girl said:
“That’s a really nice penis you drew there.”
Um, I think maybe I need to watch better movies.
- Comment on What stratgies do you have for dealing with people who "live in your head rent free"? 4 weeks ago:
I remind myself that an internet rando means absolutely nothing to me. Like the figurative “dirt on your shoulder” that you just brush off. It really helps to take a break from all things social media (and social media adjacent) on the internet for a while, too. Get interested in something else (tv show, hobby, book, music, whatever) for a while.
- Comment on 10.99 for a beer with..... ai pictures on it. 5 weeks ago:
It’s a little hard to explain without coming across as pedantic. The Wikipedia article on the “Dash” does a pretty good job of it. Compare en dash to em dash. Or just read the “Usage” sub-section under “Em dash”. I used to use the em dash (occasionally) in my writing but now I try to avoid it, thanks to AI over-using it.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Very much so. I think it’s the very long hangover from the “Protestant Work Ethic” which was always just a moralistic way for bosses to punch down on their worker-slaves. Things like “quiet quitting” and so on are a response to that, but you’re right that it has permeated every aspect of American culture. It’s a broad and deep problem.

Whoever came up with this has probably always used ‘optics first, actual results last’ in their shitty career so far.

A couple of book recommendations for people worried about this kind of thing.
“Bonk” by Mary Roach. She’s a very good science communicator and is also quite funny. There’s a lot of good info in here.
“A Billion Wicked Thoughts: What the Internet Tells Us About Sexual Relationships” by Sai Gaddam and Ogi Ogas. This book is not rigorous science, but it is no total junk. It is also informative and entertaining. A tidbit of generalized info: men tend to think about dicks and look at dicks way more than women do.

I’ve been to Vegas a couple of times, many years ago. I enjoyed the shows, food, and silly debauched spectacle of it all. But it gets old after a day or two.
Did almost no gambling at all. The machines are very boring to me, and I’m too intimadted to play at a real game with other humans. I would misunderstand the rules and the odds, and screw up the etiquette. I know enough to know that the house has a significant edge in almost any game you play against them. Even on the “best” odds games.
One of the guys that I went with made a decent chunk of money at Texas Hold’em. He said he really wasn’t that great at it, he just got lucky and found a table full of drunk tourists who couldn’t play for shit, and yet they would try to chase after it.
The casinos that have popped up in my home town all look dreadfully depressing.
It’s sad how normalized gambling addiction has become.
