- Comment on My doctor's office now has ads when checking in online 20 hours ago:
Yeah there was a minute where my urologist’s office — against their will, I am sure — had big-ass screens on the walls of exam rooms and they were brighter than the sun. They were gone within a month.

“Folks, have you heard this? There’s this big, gorgeous EP, they call it In a Beautiful Place Out In The Country. The Woke Democrats say it samples a Branch Davidian recruitment tape, but I don’t know folks…”

Make it more annoying. Commercial breaks and an “Are you still watching?”

- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 4 weeks ago:
People can’t be bothered to read or do shit because their comprehension is trash. This happens constantly. I taught college courses for years and it was pulling fucking teeth to get people to answer essay prompts. For example:
In One Hundred Years of Solitude we see generational cycles of behavior blah blah blah, which characters fit this pattern, which characters do not, and why?
95% of answers: only characters that fit the pattern. They read the first few words and ignored everything else, and then have the audacity to complain that I said they only answered half the question.

Use a greasy ring of Papa John’s garlic butter sauce to stick that Parmesan rim on, you got a deal
- Comment on Are any calls without caller ID legit? 4 weeks ago:
I’d clock it at a fraction of 1%. I had one relative I’d hear from once every few months who always forgot to unblock their landline number before dialing, and then there’s the rare healthcare number that you’re not meant to be able to call back (but you’re told to expect the call). But effectively all of them are delectable. If it’s important, they’ll leave a message and callback number.

Chewy is pretty awesome for stuff like that. Condolences for your loss.
- Comment on What's the best "good-bad" TV series you've seen? 4 weeks ago:
12oz Mouse. All of the voices are oddly soothing, and it’s just an endless absurd mystery parodying The Big O.

The first season of True Detective had an excellent intro sequence. HBO generally does a good job with their series.

- Comment on What ever happened to QAnon? 2 months ago:
You’d be so surprised! The hobbies are inherently good. But people — specifically, influencers — use them as gateways to the broader movements (so-called wellness and prepping as described above).
- Comment on What ever happened to QAnon? 2 months ago:
It kind of merged into a couple things, from what I’ve seen: “wellness” (you know the kind, antivaxx mommy blog crap, Joe Rogan raw meat diets, supplements), “preppers” (people ready for a race war and living off the grid a la The Turner Diaries), and the “tradwife/MIGTOW” stuff. There’s the splinter adherents from various right-wing influencer podcasts thinking JFK or whoever is going to reemerge at Dealy Plaza, but those invariably fizzle out. The integration into broader movements is where it’s thriving. You get lured in with yoga, then next thing you know you’re canning beans because you won’t be the one eating bugs because that’s what the democrats want.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
In my location, back when I was in dating app hell, everyone kept saying they liked bonfires and the beach and hiking, so I wrote “hate bonfires, the beach, and especially hiking.” It paid off.
