I'll never understand how some people manage to take consent on one discussed thing as carte blanche to a bunch of unrelated things they've conflated in their mind

this sounds completely nutty, and I've never heard of it. (don't live in the US, so maybe it's only distributed there?)

a lot of "premium" ice cream brands that have said "ehh, fuck it, milk is too expensive these days yo" have these weird binding agents. it's basically the same thing… leave a bowl of ice cream in the sun, and maybe a third of it melts… the rest is this weirdly frothy goop that decays if you poke it, but otherwise…

now THAT is a shitpost :D

pretty sure that's the cheap but decent beer here… same for you, presumably??

I have the reissue / remaster of Copper Blue. it's fucking awesome. haven't really followed his career that extensively though

huh. not sure if that should give me hope or deepen my sense of abject despair for humanity… ehh, if they're happy and functional, I can't begrudge that.

what the fuck did I just read

wow. that's super gross. :/

downside is that things tend to feel more ephemeral / disposable as a result.

it's a funny anecdote, but I missed out on both great sex AND delicious fresh homemade chocolate chip cookies as a result.

ehh, I've screwed up the trajectory of my own life enough that I think I've both recognized that my perennial single-ness is my own, self-perpetuating concern, while also equally realizing that I don't mesh well with the lives of my coupled friends, given circumstances, logistics, and such.

that's never fun. :/ hang in there

once every year or so, I'll try to find the old powertabs.net website which had, for a time, fucking FLAWLESS transcriptions of Elliott Smith songs (and others!) by someone with the username of "rockandrollpt3" or similar. I'm guessing the Internet Archive has a listing of all the old stuff, but probably doesn't have…

Christ. please don't remind me that somehow that shit got played on the radio.

he does that under a different moniker, no?

I think your mistake is presuming these dudes have actually managed to procreate somehow.

I seem to recall reading a story about a baseball player whose drink was spiked fairly heavily with acid or something similar. he had a bad trip or reaction to it, and it had fairly severe consequences for him?

it's generally not worth it. if anything, I sometimes like getting mildly stoned as a means of drinking far less. and I prefer my highs to be more calm and cerebral, but not too intense, as that can just exacerbate anxieties for me.

I may need to go down that road again soon. fucking depression.
