Personally i blame the lead poisoning

I can’t say I’m surprised. He falls right in the middle of that demographic. I grew up listening to The Mississippi Squirrel and Eric the Awful. I grew up watching The Cosby Show too, and Hercules. Some of the old stuff is still enjoyable, even if the artist isn’t. Not all of it tho. I can’t watch most Kevin Spacey or Mel Gibson movies
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 1 week ago:
My wife has an autoimmune syndrome that makes stairs painful in the morning. I wake up, make coffee, bring her coffee and a snack, and about an hour later when I know she’s awake I bring her breakfast in bed. We eat together and talk about what we’ll do for our respective days, and if there’s anything we need to coordinate for the day that’s when we talk about it. By the time she’s done with that she’s mobile enough to do some stretches and loosen up enough to walk.
As someone else said, coffee for morning breath, eat breakfast, then brush teeth. It’s about being served breakfast as soon as your ready to sit up in bed

It’s a funny song highlighting the hypocrisy of televangelists and, by extension, for-profit religion (even if it’s non-profit according to the IRS, we know they don’t open churches to help people)
- Comment on I always wondered why hotel rooms had bibles 1 week ago:
Would Jesus be political if he came back to Earth/
Have his second home in Palm Springs and try to hide his worth/
Take money from those poor folks, if he came back again/
And admit he’s talked to all those preachers, and say they been a-talkin to him?
Would he wear a pinky ring, would he drive a fancy car/
Would his wife wear pearls and diamonds, would his dressing room have a star?
If he came back tomorrow there’s something I’d like to know/
(Would you tell me) would Jesus wear a Rolex on his television show?

- Comment on Should I feel bad that my abuser is suffering? 1 month ago:
Do not hold on to hate. Don’t pay an emotional price on people who don’t care about you
Do not feel guilt about other people suffering the consequences of their own actions. Don’t pay an emotional price on people who don’t care about you
Have empathy for the injustices others face. It helps you let go of hate
You are responsible for how you respond to your environment. They are responsible for themselves. They chose to respond to abuse by abusing others. You can perpetuate that cycle or stop it. Treat them the way you wish to be treated. Do so knowing they owe you a social debt for their abuse, and do not put yourself at risk while treating them with fairness
Do these things and you will be at peace with yourself and others.

Never heard of it, but I use Tri-flow and Houdini liberally. If Ballistol doesn’t leave a residue it’s probably fine

Y’ know, this probably explains my childhood desire to build up a library of books until I could fill a room.

Flex? Have you lived in Corn? It’s course and rough and gets everywhere
It’s just that there are men in No Man’s Land, but the ratio of men to corn makes the label Corn more accurate than No Man’s Land
It’s science

Replace Nomansland with Corn and it’s pretty much spot on

- Comment on Funny how that works 2 months ago:
Unfortunately taxes is how gentrification of neighborhoods removes the poors. If property taxes remember relatively flat for low income property owners they could actually benefit from the equity they put into their homes. Instead of rising with the waters of gentrification they are squeezed out of their home and future benefits of living in an improving neighborhood.

Leaving aside how gross it is, and separate from whether corporations should be the arbiters of morality:
Incest between parent and child, even if the offspring is of legal age of consent, would imply an insurmountable power differential as well as likely grooming. Incest between siblings would depend on the age differential and authority structure of the family. It’s not a case of incest=abuse, but of how likely it could imply abuse. The challenge is nuance. The goal is harm reduction
I understand that for some incest porn is enjoyable, not because they would commit incest themselves, but because incest=forbidden=naughty=sexy. Maybe that’s you? In any case, you asked how violence is implied, and that’s my take
- Comment on if H₂O is so great why isn’t there H₂O₂ 2 months ago:
Oh man yeah, I remember seeing this on thinkgeek a while back. I wish I had gotten that shirt before they went under
The rhythm was a little different tho:
Johnny was a chemist’s son
But Johnny is no more
What Johnny thought was H2O
Was H2SO4Pretty great, thanks for the reminder 😁

…and this is the puffy-faced fizzblood. We have learned many interesting things about Terra from these creatures. For instance, while they often cry blood, occasionally their eyes will just, you know, burst. Seems to be pretty random, we think they evolved to burst their eyes to confuse predators

More like the Vimes Unified Theory of Adulthood
Another gem from that theory:
“That was always the dream, wasn’t it? ‘I wish I’d known then what I know now’? But when you got older you found out that you NOW wasn’t YOU then. You then was a twerp. You then was what you had to be to start out on the rocky road of becoming you now, and one of the rocky patches on that road was being a twerp”

I’m ootl, what racist stuff?
I mean, I’m familiar with bitch lasagna, but i imagine it’s worse than that, considering another commenter called him a Nazi
This is a genuine question, btw. I used to be with it, but then they changed what “it” was. Now what I’m with isn’t “it” anymore, and what is “it” is weird and scary to me
- Comment on What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality 4 months ago:
Halo was best when it was Halo:CE played 4v4 on two linked systems, with the teams on two screens in an undersized dorm room in 2002. Alternatively, two people playing through the entire game in co-op mode and finishing at 3 in the morning.
Everything since then has been mid at best
