It’s really common to be in denial when you get sick, particularly with a potentially deadly disease. My dad had lung cancer and was given six months to live and he was telling everyone his palliative 10 day course of radiation was going to fix everything. He was a lifelong smoker and watched his mother die of lung…

I really do love Hawaii’s ABC stores.  You could roll off a plane naked and get everything for your whole vacation in there, including the luggage.  Plus beer and alcohol. 

Billy wants to get fired rather than spend the next six weeks on transition shit.  4/10 barfs

This whole business needs a little Michael Weston.

Also they’ve basically killed bubble bath with bath bombs

Maybe only on Twitter but people love their convenience stores no matter where they are. Cumby’s in New England (Cumberland Farms if you’re not familiar with the diminutive, often walked there for a terrible “cappuccino” from the machine in high school), Wawa in NJ, ABC Stores in Hawaii (possibly the greatest iteration…

Not only is this gross, I thought we all learned that testing alone doesn’t protect you when Trump got sick. One of those 36 people could have tested negative because of a problem with the test, or because their viral load was still building, and they could have gotten everyone else sick.

Like, on a daily basis?  I get my fill at Scottish festivals.  Some festival trucks will let you buy boxes for the freezer. 

the bar is indeed low

I would but I’m out of it again as I used the last to make an eggnog bread pudding via instant pot.  I ate that for breakfast so maybe that counts as close enough? 

I spend so much time on video calls for work I don’t need or want any video social time ever again.

If you’re born on third base, you have no idea how to deal with the first baseman.  

I think it’s more the greatest benefits of living in a city have vanished (public transit, relative job proximity, restaurants and nightlife) so they’re trading for living space, particularly outdoor living space.  

My favorite one was the article where everyone moved to a tiny town in Vermont and everyone in that town hates them because they don’t know the rules at the dump. It’s increasingly out of touch and maybe it doesn’t matter because you have to pay to read it and that’s who is reading it? People with the same “struggles.”

Nuprin.  Little.  Yellow.  Different. 

OTOH I am appreciating all the quoting going on. Can’t imagine what it’s like to post a blog and get absolutely roasted for your age and have no idea what anyone is talking about.

It is, but also people who go to restaurants to eat or bars to drink right now are pretty dumb.

I assume that someone touched to too long and it got absorbed into their body, where it will drive them slowly mad along their villain origin story...

cuts his own hair using a Flowbee, a contraption I’m just now learning of that the manufacturer describes as a “vacuum haircut system.”

Yeah the old one didn’t have convection and my last house did, and I missed it.
