- Comment on Trump: I said to somebody the other day, am I better politician or construction/real estate person? They didn't know how to answer that question. I am not sure how to answer either 6 days ago:
Right, because he’s equally shit at both.

Yep. Masculine, feminine, and neuter. It’s annoyingly hard to learn. Plus all the other adjectives and such change to match. It’s wild.

You got it! Truth be told, it’s an old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook recipe, but it’s a hit with everyone I serve it to. The night of the story I made a quadruple batch of this. Enjoy!
Garlic Chicken
Yield: 4-6 servings
2 cups water 2/3 cup soy sauce 2 Tbsp dry white cooking wine 2 Tbsp corn starch 4 chicken breasts, diced 2 cups white rice 4 Tbsp Olive Oil 10 cloves garlic, minced ½ cup green onion, chopped
Combine water, soy sauce, wine, and corn starch in small bowl. Mix well.
Place diced chicken in another bowl, pour half of the soy sauce mixture into bowl. Allow chicken to marinate covered for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Cook rice according to package instructions.
Remove chicken from refrigerator and drain marinade.
Heat skillet or wok over medium heat. Add oil and allow to heat. Add garlic and onion. Cook slowly for 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and add to side bowl. Increase heat to high. Add chicken and cook thoroughly, approximately 7-10 minutes. Push cooked chicken to sides of pan, add leftover marinade to pan. Reduce heat to medium-high, allow marinade to reduce until thickened. Add onion, garlic, and oil mixture back to pan and allow to heat through.
When ready to serve, place base of white cooked rice on plate and cover with garlic chicken mixture. Serve hot. Refrigerate leftovers.

Sadly, as someone from Minnesota, it is both a joke and a reality far more often than I’d like. Personally, I enjoy really spicy things — like at a Thai restaurant, I always order “Thai hot” not whatever number thing they use — and usually get big hot sauce packs (such as the Hot Ones lineup) for Christmas gifts, which is great. I am very much the outlier, though.
You have to remember, though, that these are people that shun hot sauce but then eat horrible foods like Lutefisk, so I wouldn’t necessarily take their opinion seriously.
This does seem to be changing in the last maybe decade or two as more immigrants from different backgrounds come to the state. Believe it or not, last I checked, Minnesota has the largest Hmong and Somali populations in the country, so there’s SOOO much more food and flavors around to try and enjoy than there was when I was a kid.
- Comment on why are they pushing kpop demon hunters so badly? Who makes money off this new group? 2 weeks ago:
Because it’s a popular movie with a catchy soundtrack that has a Grammy nominated song that was number one on the Billboard Top 100? It’s not like they’re pushing an obscure art film released solely for a run at an Oscar.
Sony makes the money. Just like they did with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and countless other products of Sony Animation.

Did this once when my SIL was having her first kid. Went home and made a huge batch of garlic chicken for the whole family because it was a very long labor and we had all been in the waiting room waiting for almost 12 hours for any news and the hospital cafeteria was closed until morning.
While serving it up, got quite a few “omg I want it” looks from a couple others that were waiting as well and definitely offered it up. Was nice to feed everyone, even those couple strangers, so they could concentrate on their other needs. Still a story the family talks about occasionally. Would totally do it again. (The food, not the birthing labor.)

Oooh — the spicy sauce is intriguing. Love some good heat. Maybe next year I should bring some hot sauce with me to throw in. :D
- Comment on Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production 2 weeks ago:
I’d rather buy a game on Steam than get it for free from Epic. Seriously.
I claimed the first few games and their launcher was shit. Now, to be fair, Steam wasn’t exactly a pinnacle of achievement when it first came out, either, but it’s been refined and honed to a razor. Epic is just “let’s throw shit at the wall and see what happens”, with no coherent strategy or marketing beyond “we’re not Steam!”. Their client, as I understand it, is still shit, and their CEO is a jackass. Haven’t had it installed in years now. Meanwhile, I have a backlog on Steam of like 1000 games.
Why would I ever use Epic? It has no value.
And yes, that goes for games sold on Steam with the “have to use Origin” bullshit, too. I’m not launching Steam to then launch Origin. This is not Inception. Let me play my damn game and stay out of it. Ya know?
- Comment on eat the rich and go to libraries 2 weeks ago:
If you intended it as a joke, can you please add a /s or something to indicate it is a joke, when it’s not obvious? It does not read as a joke to me, but as a serious comment. It can be difficult to understand the author’s intended tone by just reading text.
Thank you!
- Comment on eat the rich and go to libraries 2 weeks ago:
There’s nothing wrong with buying something if you feel it is a good value, especially if you plan to keep it in the long term.
Much better than stealing from our public services.
- Comment on Perfect size for brats 2 weeks ago:
There’s a food vendor called Wunder Wurst at a fall festival I attend, and they serve their brats like this with cheese sauce. It’s really good.
Not sure I’d want to go to all the trouble with making it at home, though. Regular cut buns work just fine for me.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I’m still holding to it, but I agree, it’s getting harder and harder to find stuff on sale for less than $5. Especially if you’ve been on Steam for a long time and have a large library already.

- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 2 months ago:
Good thing I never signed up for one.
Any Steam game that requires an EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard, whatever account is a total non-starter for me. I’ve looked at some of the newer Battlefields when they’re on sale for like $2 and I still can’t be convinced. Likely never will.
Ok with me, there’s lots of other publishers out there, both independents and studios, that I’d much rather give my $2 to.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I will say, just talking cost, if you are able, they sell GamePass gift cards at Costco and occasionally do deals. I got 6 months of Ultimate for $90 last time.
I still think the pricing change is dumb and I’m unlikely to renew.

- Comment on I get texting and driving being a danger. But back in my day you could eat drink change radio stations etc. Why weren't laws implemented back then? 2 months ago:
Because for the most part, you can do all those things with only removing your eyes from the road for a few seconds, if at all. You’re still focused mostly on driving.
When using your phone, you’re not paying attention at all to the road, and looking away for far longer. That’s the danger.
