And yet...people speak out about it being offensive and degrading, and we still have this commentary about “doing it all their lives, so you’re dumb for saying this” shit going on.

If you think this is going to secure out border, you're an idiot.

Facts. Facts are bothering them.

Oof. I try not to take this bait, but the Reds v. Cardinals thing...sigh.

I can only sympathize on this, as my mental health issues do not affect my diet, but it is so, so true that people will react in the most cruel and asinine ways to what they view as a “fixable” problem, never understanding what’s involved.

This sounds like a soup a friend of mine made, but it was butternut (lol, butternut) squash, and included a heavy dose of cayenne, with some hot sauce on the side. Pumpkin soup IS delicious, but I dont have the same connection.

The synchronicity is beautiful. 

I read that so many times, and laughed so hard, every damn time. The nurses think I got to much pain meds, which is even funnier, because I am not hallucinating yet.

My thanks, the water I gagged on laughing at that was a perfect excuse for a much needed change of shirts.

Absolute blast to watch. Haven’t been stuck to the edge of my seat like that for a long time. The whistle at the end probably saved me from a stroke.

I found the Idiots guide to Chess is a nice starter for people looking to get going. Other than that, start playing, and tey not to let it bug you to much when you keep losing. It gets better, sort of.

Some people find the behavior assholish, and are upset by it. Many Americans find this reaction amusing. I, myself, find the hand wringing and whole “If you dont think its shitty, you are just perpetuating the stereotype, like people being shitty, and are an asshole too!” takes to be an absolute joy to laugh at.

Someone please check on Burneko, I think the last batch of edibles he enjoyed may have had something unexpected in them.....

Pretty sure its “MLS eats that English Bulldogs shit, and licks its ass clean when its done.”, but a more recent view of his articles show he may have a softer side for some american soccer.
