Won’t someone think of the people who harassed a woman until she killed herself???

You need to climb down off of your weird “any criticism of people doing horrible things is just as bad as the horrible things those people did” bullshit, because at best it makes it look like you care about the well being of the

Why though? A giant reverb-y room is the worst way to listen to music. Listening to an album in an empty stadium will let you know what it sounds like when you listen to it in a large, empty, concrete box. (he’s also almost certainly working in a studio, not mixing/mastering/recording in, again, a large, empty

I. mean, he’s holed up in a stadium, wearing the same damn full face covering, and blood red pleather pants and jacket.In Atlanta. In late-July. He makes Howard Hughs look sane at this point.

Criticizing people’s bad behaviour isn’t a “hate club” and only an asshole would think that.

It’s such a weird attitude too. Like, the only way this guy can be sure he’s not being a creep is by saying nothing, ever? Which, of course, is creepy in its own way.

The thighs are the best part of the chicken. That’s my hot chicken take of the day.

You mention a Caprese salad, then you don’t include it. Last summer my wife and I made Caprese with perfectly ripe market heirloom tomatoes, really good olive oil, and giant ball of burrata, slices of market plums (purple and yellow), salt, pepper, and a bunch of those little balsamic vinegar caviar things. It was

What did I do when I got laid off due to lack of work? Found a new job.

“Calling out bad faith arguments is the same as making bad faith arguments” is not a convincing...argument.

Projection (and hypocrisy) is a hell of a drug.

It was the first AC game I had played in a LOOOOOONG time (PS3 era), and, wow, I loved it. The move from whatever AC games were before to a sort of historical RPG-lite really hit the spot for me. I liked it so much I picked up Valhalla on sale recently, but neither it, nor Origins, are quite as ...majestic as Odyssey

I lost my job in March last year, and one of the last things I bought myself was a PS4, because I had a feeling we’d be in for 6 months to a year of lock-downs and social distancing.

As a result of my lack of things to do (unemployed, only so many household chores to do in a day, and dinner didn’t have to be cooked

I’m the same way. My wife LOVES seafood, so when she has a hankering, we usually invite a couple of people over (because no one likes cooking for one), and she’ll make them all a nice seafood meal, and I’ll make myself something nice that I like, and everyone is happy (I don’t have any issues with the smell of seafood

My wife hates all popcorn. It’s a major reason why we rarely go seem movies in the theatre (well, pre-pandemic it was).

Also works if you just roast them in the oven nicely seasoned and covered in a decent amount of olive oil. You don’t get the same char as grilling, obviously, but it does get nice and nutty and toasty and wonderful. I can’t remember the last time I boiled asparagus.

I used to work at an Indian restaurant when I was living in the Mediterranean what seems like a lifetime ago. My (now) wife and I were quite poor (she was a student, I was making a living working illegally in restaurants/bars and teaching ESL at smaller private institutes), so the fact that I was given a giant Indian

Yeah, not being able to enjoy the aromas of garlic and onion sauteeing in butter on the stove? Deal breaker.

My wife likes to research restaurants and stuff before we go on a trip, and I will talk to people who live in/are familiar with the places we are going to visit, and we will check out the ones that seem most interesting from that, but we also allow ourselves to freedom to just pop into any interesting looking spots we

To a fascist everyone to the left of Mussolini is a “far-left radical”. It’s that simple.

I just always assumed that he is also a slope browed simpleton. I don’t know how much of his schtick is an act, and how much of it is actually him being a giant bigot and an even bigger fucking moron.
