Rao’s products are really top-notch. Their tomato-basil soup is by far the best prepared soup I’ve ever had.

Gochujang is my number one ketchup-adjacent condiment. It’s going to be tough to bump gochujang out of that slot.

I once bought Bertolli sauce because of good things I read on the internet, and I don’t remember exactly why now, but I hated it.

Objectively, pretty much every food media outlet that’s tested jarred pasta sauce has said that Rao’s is head and shoulders better than any other brand. My own experience bears this out. Bertoli is shit. Raos actually tastes good. Very good. There’s no point to running a comparison with anything besides Raos. Truly. 

This is another reason why method acting is so silly. Acting is just playing make-believe. There’s absolutely no reason why a talented actor like Collette can’t film a harrowing scene, have the cameras stop rolling, and then get a bagel and chat with Colin Firth. That sounds like a perfectly pleasant day.

Not to mention leading restaurant management to pressure staff into working on Thanksgiving, instead of spending the day with their own family. I’ve been pleased to see the number of retailers backing off of pushing their Black Friday promotions to Thursday. I would hate to see that undone by restaurants trying to…

BMW was a pretty prude show in general. Maybe due to being a TGIF show or maybe just to the conservative nature of children’s tv.

I ain’t got time to sit around and simmer tomatoes for an hour. I just use the most basic stuff in a jar, but jazz it up with garlic, spices, onions and mushrooms. Just saute everything in a pan, dump the sauce in, heat it up, then throw it on the pasta.

While still disappointing, I don’t find it very surprising that a developer from a country in which 98% of the population share the same ethnicity and culture struggles to grasp the depht and importance of representation issues.

When did Matthew Perry Week end and Jennifer Lawrence Week begin?

That misinterpretation is not just a failure (or complete lack) of math skills, but of logic & reasoning.

We ate out once when it was just the two of us and it was a nice change..

sometimes you gotta. I got to the final sequence of Death Stranding and was like “OK, let’s just wrap this up” and did the final two bosses and trek on Easy because I was kinda just ready to wrap it up lol. 

Listen, sometimes you “get” it and just want to move on with the whole thing. I was playing Psychonauts 2 recently, and while I really liked the game, there was one boss that took me like 3-4 tries, and the whole sequence of defeating it was pretty long and bland, and regardless of how far you made it, you had to…

I’ve been playing some games on Easy difficulty lately, otherwise I would never play them because there’s enough games I don’t have the time for something that takes a lot to get through.

That’s fair! I can only hope if Blockbuster gets a season two, it evolves like The Office/Parks. But with those two, even in their first seasons, I felt like they knew the characters and the tone at least. Here, I don’t think they have that figured out at all. 

I like to think that the current political climate is largely why people are turning out in high numbers for a midterm.

Speaking of the manual, from the same NES cartridge, what *is* in the manual but few noticed... Duck Hunt was a 2-player game! The second controller could move the ducks around.

Apparently not! Tons of comments on that TikTok talking about all the years wasted. One brought up a good point, too: You would think a trick like this would be in the manual, but it’s not!
