Yes! Was LOOKING for someone to talk about this and/or a forum in which to say it.

Still waiting to hear about Beto O’Rourke being made CEO of the X-Games.

Do you think they’re also not using real, mashed-up banana either but rather some kind of fake/extract banana flavor? Seems like that’s something else that contributes to the ‘heaviness’ I’m getting.

If nothing else about this era is politically enjoyable, the COMPLETE collapse of High Libertarianism—of the sort that was fucking everywhere on the internet, circa 2009 through 2015—is most refreshing, most refreshing indeed.

Banana cream. Like the stuff they serve in Texas restaurants and/or some really good Texas-themed places like Hill Country.

Do I need to resubmit this or will you guys just ‘run with it’?

“It’s an MMO.”

Okay, now I’m pretty sure you’re just my wife.

Easy: I just go to the folder marked “Definitely NOT Pornography”.

MONTY’S!

Banana and/or chocolate cream pie is pretty much the ne plus ultra of desserts to me. I’ve tried making both at home. They come out . . . okay. There’s clearly some sort of wizardry going on with egg whites that I’m not doing; I’m just not achieving Fluffiness Liftoff.

This reminds me of restaurant owners and/or other small biz people who fight against minimum wage increases on the grounds that they couldn’t possibly pay more or else they’d go out of business.

Famously, D.B. Cooper paid $20 cash (like, a single Jackson), day-of, before his famous hijacking of a Northwest Orient Airlines flight in 1971. No ID shown because you didn’t need to do that in 1971.

Flew back from Austin (MY meeting wasn’t cancelled; suck it up SXSW) earlier this week to the northeast and my flights all appeared to be about 1/3rd empty. I had a dumb ultra-economy ticket but I brazenly walked right up to the exit row, plonked down and HAD THE ENTIRE ROW TO MYSELF on 3 out of 4 of my flights.

There’s a scene at the very end of League of Their Own that always troubled me a little: When the ladies are all Old and looking around their wing at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Dottie runs into grown-up Stilwell there’s this exchange:

I second what others have said elsewhere: That romantic comedies sort of don’t ‘work’ anymore because, culturally, we’ve rendered 2 key elements of them ‘obsolete’ (so to speak): Implicit fear of sexual betrayal and, relatedly, saving sex for marriage/monogamy. Yeah, I know there was plenty of pre-marital sex in…

Fantastic Boys and Where to Find Them

I am proud to say I don’t know the IQ of anyone I personally know, including myself. 

Yes. I was also put in a ‘gifted’ classroom for a while. The kids in there were fucking MESSES. I think when I changed schools (from elementary to middle) I begged my parents NOT to even mention that I’d been in ‘gifted’, they agreed, so I was just in a normal classroom and my life GREATLY improved.

Well there is sort of use for it: People who score moderately high on IQ do indeed tend to do better in life. Doctors, lawyers, that sort of thing.
