I use cash so infrequently that I really have no preference of how change is handed to me. I feel like actually caring about that stuff like there’s a right way is a old people thing. 

The Des Moines Register blows because it’s being bled dry by venture capital, and the reporter blows for being a hypocrite. But I still kinda want to be measured in my response to this story because it’s attracting the worst kind of “muh cancel culture, muh fake news” takes. Also Venmo and AB are still matching the…

The only wedding I went to with a band, the bride was a close friend of the bandleader so I have a hunch they got a steep discount. I wouldn’t want to know how much their regular rate was. But yeah, it was just at a hotel ballroom without a stage, but they were front and center and had a decent light rig. They didn’t…

Why not dos? I ate a sandwich with pickle slices on it *and* a pickle spear on the side other day and I enjoyed all of it.

My mom’s version isn’t even really creamy (as in dairy). It’s just more of a (slightly) spicy chicken and bean soup. Better than that description sounds, but maybe not worthy of the “chili” tittle.

I don’t really mind being at work for 40 hours a week, but it still bothers me that productivity is way up and wages are flat for the same 40 hours they decided on 100 years ago. If the excess productivity went into some of those things, yeah, I’d be okay with it.

If I remember right, I didn’t have to be in marching band for my music scholarship (only requirements were getting at least a C in one-on-one lessons and concert band) but I *did* have to be in marching band for my instrumental music ed degree. But like I said in my other comment, I doubt the director would fail a…

Yeah idk what they’d actually be able to do if they can’t find witnesses to name names, but jointly closing the investigation after only 24 hours makes it seem like they didn’t even try.

Yeah, that was my first thought. Band just shouldn’t show up for the next home game.

Yeah class issues aside, it’s not particularly surprising to me that people in their 20s and have at least a few expensive hobbies don’t exactly have heirloom furniture. (Granted, I’m sure some Twitch streamers are pretty wealthy at this point, but maybe they’re holding onto the cash for when that income stream dries…

Hot take but I don’t like Spotted Cow that much. Every once in a while, somebody I know will go to WI and bring me back some cuz they know I’m a “beer guy” and I appreciate it, but I wouldn’t really seek it out.

I keep seeing the term “service weapon” everywhere. They can’t even call a gun a gun.

If I’m using fillings that don’t require browning, I just nuke it on the plate I’m gonna serve it on.

I have one of the cats the scruff trick doesn’t work on. It only ever makes him more mad. Good thing he’s a sweetheart and rarely mad I guess.

Yeah that’s what makes most sense to me. Gas and registration fees only cover about 50% of road costs anyway. But ofc like you pointed out, that’s not really how government and people’s understanding of taxes work. If gas and registration taxes went away, people would just expect to pocket the difference and no…

I watch my college football team or maybe whatever primetime game if they’re off and it’s a much smaller time sink. Can’t believe I used to spend all Sunday watching NFL just because of fantasy. (Still fuck the NCAA though. I wouldn’t be too upset if college football went away too.)

I never make my bed in the morning but I sometimes make my bed right before I sleep just because I *hate* sleeping under tangled sheets and sometimes starting from scratch is the only way to get it right.

Yeah sometimes I feel bad for donating bullshit to Goodwill, but then I look at the junk that’s on the shelf and feel better because my junk isn’t any worse.

I think a big part is cost. I’d go see a lot of has-beens from the 50s to 90s if they’re playing for free at some food or art festival and just consider the $30 I inevitably spend on beer and food as the ticket price. I’ve seen Dennis DeYoung, Buddy Guy, Spin Doctors, Gin Blossoms, Collective Soul, lots of acts like…

Only 24 hours? Didn't his first few Netflix specials have transphobic shit in it? I don't feel guilty about watching his old stuff on YouTube on occasion but I haven't been interested in his Netflix stuff because of that.
