trying to one up a stick in the mud does not exclude you from being a whiner, it pretty much ensures you’re a whiner.

complaining in a feeble or petulant way is one meaning that fits a statement like:

If you don’t like the term holiday, than think of it as a festival. You don’t have to come, but neither do we have to give a care about your whining about us having fun.

As part of your research, I would recommend the film Tampopo; it has more than just ramen, but ramen is a major focus!

having been dressed as a child jedi, that button would’ve def flagged me as an easy target for any anakins/young darths haha

I don’t care what age people are when they trick or treat. I was approaching 6 feet tall by the time I was 11 and I was sometimes hassled for being too old (masks don’t help). I want everyone to be able to dress up and go out and have fun. If you’re 40 or something though, maybe just go every other year cause we need…

Decent article that kinda boils down to “who knows but at least its better than it used to be.”

On the other hand, I found a 12 pack variety of Alaskan Brewing Co. beers that I had forgotten about for a few years in my closet, put em in the fridge, and tested them out.

The real disappointing anime animation for me this season is SSSS.Gridman. I expect more than a CGI slugfest from Trigger! The normal characters are great, but the Mecha and Kaiju are CGI. That just takes me out of it. I mean it’s a common thing these days (even the new Evangelion movies substitute CGI for scenes that…

Lando system?

I just grind up an eighth in the amount of vegetable oil used in ghiradelli brownies and cook it in a wide pan until it turns brown (a few minutes, try not to burn), strain out the leftover brown debris, and then cook the brownies with that oil. It’s not the most efficient way, but you make about eight brownies that…

The problem is that they are pretty concentrated so they dont actually have any flavor. This would be great, but now companies insist on putting flavors (weed flavor even) in them. The flavors are unregulated and some of them contain carcinogens. So while they seem great, they could actually be much worse than actual…

Never tell me the odds!

the thing is, most people wont notice this, just like most people dont care about putting their tv in the proper aspect ratio, streaming vs blu ray, etc.

hats off to you

black panther maybe

your premise if flawed. there are plenty of people who have changed their minds about many different things in the past 16 years. most people who supported the Iraq war 16 years ago now definitely do not. its too late for them to go back and change that, but they were much less hesitant to invade Syria or Iran.

my friends (dreamers) are already in trouble. im a public employee that isnt in line with those people, and my job is threatened as a result. calling them names and trying to dehumanize those that think differently may be cathartic, but it wont help me or my friends in the long run. we cant afford that luxury. we have…

just asking questions, especially in real life, is a good technique. talking over beers with people that have different ideas than you is great. most of the time they actually want whats best for the country, etc but just have a backwards view of achieving that (sometimes my view is backwards, well sideways anyways).…

you mean people like john waters, prince, or katherine hepburn? sometimes moking/perverting social norms can be effective in creating positive change. that is not what these people are doing, but calling them inhuman is not going to help fix anything, it just might make you feel good.
