I have to go middle-ground because my stomach learned to drive and will happily drag the rest of me to the candy aisle of the grocery store if I don’t have SOMETHING to indulge on, so the indulgence now is often annoyingly healthy like Nutrigrain bars before bed (not actually healthy but compared to a 2lb bag of gummy worms…)

I was just thinking, my peanut butter doesn’t have nearly enough microplastics and forever chemicals

The article briefly mentions this, but having lived in states with plastic bag bans, and states without - well drive through the countryside and count all the plastic bags in ditches, trees, streams. Paper might be more intensive to produce, but the lingering effects of plastic bags are being underestimated I think.

Even better than an orange logo for telling you it came from Home Depot

It’s crazy how Apple out there all “hey come spend $2k on a phone” right as I’m nervously looking for the door. How much do I really use the ecosystem?
No one will ever forget the world’s hippiest tech company bribing Trump with gold.
Amazon is genuinely hard because I am very poor and there’s often a big price difference on Amazon. I am working on it. I’m a millennial and frugality is a core requirement of survival.

On the grill it’s pretty good, but it does take a long time, and you hollow out the very middle and jam a bunch of butter in there, then tinfoil the whole thing. Keep it at high temp for a full hour. But yeah since learning how to do it, I’ve done it 0 times, so

A ratcheting driver set is even nicer, you get all the allen tips plus torx, the weird philips variants, etc. Mine has sockets under 3/4” even. I use the thing like 10 times a day.

According to the MSDS sheet, it releases a “gentle, pleasing odor of cinnamon buns” when heated to temperatures above 600F, and also releases “micro-vitamins” into the air that your body can readily absorb.

Here we have them going for about 50¢ a leaf, which ain’t bad. I’d like to go ahead and sell my yard… we have some really nice leaves folks

My husband and I used Uber for one of the first times to get back home after a long walk, where we were both inebriated. It was pretty clear and we weren’t trying to hide it, but we weren’t rude, and I was careful not to slam the door or anything. The driver gave us a 1-star rating and it took a long time before I found a few drivers willing to chance it on me in the meantime. I don’t remember that driver but I hope I’ve cut them off in traffic since. You know what, I probably have.

Having the last letter be on the right wall would have looked a bit more earnest even if still obviously a gag. But I think they wanted to make sure no donors or alumni saw it and misunderstood.

This is just a trope everywhere and it’s absurd. Like Project Hail Mary. Yep, a school physics teacher is chiseled and looks like a shaggy sex teddy bear dog. Just like every other physics teacher I’ve met. Yep.

Ford struggled with anxiety and imposter syndrome early on, and developed his tough, flippant exterior around that as a coping mechanism. So there are a lot of stories about him saying callous, tough guy things. But he’s quite a softie who really loves the art of acting, so I don’t think he’s really dismissing everything and everyone outright.

- Comment on Well that's my vacation ruined 5 weeks ago:
We would come in from the beach or bars drunk, high, and overexcited, but knowing we had to sleep or the next day would be ruined. So we’d turn on a movie to fall asleep to. Unfortunately the last time, it was Addams Family Values, and my ass stayed up extra late watching the whole thing.

- Comment on They call me the problem solver 5 weeks ago:
Umm. Sorry man. There are some good meds that can help with that, like Prazosin, which blocks norepinephrine, which is the fight-or-flight chemical. It also blocks nightmares from being remembered if taken at bedtime. And it keeps your blood pressure like, textbook perfect. If you have a doc you can ask. Good luck. I have PTSD which used to cause the same thing you have.

Especially juvenile mockingbirds who scream like fucking banshees all night, not having learned any melodies and just being desperately horny. This occurs on my roof every spring. Wonderful.

In that case, the building might actually be built to a very high quality? I’ve never seen a building do that. I would think it’d save lives.
