I always want to like the idea of lo-fi more than I actually do. It’s all just a bit too chill for me. Like an updated version of Dark Side of the Moon, it just puts me into a relaxing, sleep-like state. Track 10, Hand Over Fist, is a great song though. Sounds like it should be in a post SotN Castlevania game.

What Twitter left doesn’t realize is that the collective outrage directed at her has no bearing in the real world. They’re going after Rowling with the same fury they would Trump, a man who not only actively encourages white nationalism, but fawns over dictators and authoritarians, orders protestors be gassed so he…

Look at this thread. Both versions of this story are filled with comments from people who want to know that she isn’t profiting from this “before they buy the game.” That’s not moral strength in the face of unacceptable behaviour. That’s whining and bitching from people with Gryffindor scarves and wands, hardcover…

Either you say goodbye to Hogwarts in whatever form and actually stop buying the shit, or don’t, and stop pretending that your outrage is backed up by anything.

Full-sized Nestle Crunch bars guaranteed an unmolested yard in my ‘hood back in the day.

Completely forgot about Bit-O-Honey.  It was like candy that got kicked around on the floor before being wrapped up and sold.  

I grew up in Upstate NY and I’ve lived in half a dozen places around the country since then. Without fail, every town has a place on Yelp that says “the wings are just as good as the ones in Buffalo!”.

“1888, 1954, or 1987 with only the clothes on your back.”

“For better or for worse, modern recipes...have a lot more coddling”

The stuff in the actual pot shops is made by people who are actually experts in hemp cultivation and cannabinoid extraction, so it was sold on “you can count on us to actually give you what we say we’re giving you when you buy.”

Same; I don’t know if it’s facial dysmorphia or early-stage ALS / neurological disorder, but I have a tendency to smile when I get nervous or upset. It’s led to a lot of unnecessary arguments and physical confrontations, but now that people focus on my eyes instead of my smile? They read my other body signals more and…

Don’t listen to Trump’s lies. If you need any further proof that there is a second wave coming, the masters of commerce are giving all you need.

Not movies, “movie’s.”  This makes me so angry.

“I would say that he wants to find a high profile target and make an example of them to show Boston takes these things seriously.”

No, there is actually multiple dates of inspection with violations on each. The last two were both serious threats to health under Boston code (no mask usage and two fire exits blocked).

I am all in favor of giving bandwidth to assholes who are being made examples of. 

It’s virtue signaling for people who have no virtue and have infected their kids.

It’s easy enough to understand when you remember that they’re frightened, stupid, spoiled babies.

I found this bon mot from a review in GQ;

The ‘history’ here is that the old Coconut Grove Club fire (and the molasses flood before that) eventually turned the Boston area government into real hard-asses about health & building safety. I know from first-hand experience. The locals joke that if you applied for a liquor and restaurant license with a top-secret…
