And in the end, all you really need are your dogs. (Hey, my wife would say the same thing).

Yeah. Had a friend for years my dog hated - he was a secondary friend - liked seeing movies with him or mountain biking. Conversations never really went past what we were doing in the moment. But every time he came over my dog would growl and bark like he was some dark evil soul. Found out later he was a total MRM…

I would have walked between them, but what do I know...

I’d tell him I was proud of him and inside know I was doing something right.

Any thoughts on Dragon Quest Builders?

Addicted to avocado boba smoothies and totally OK with it.

They do already. My second grader was explaining them to me this morning.

Your mixing the issues, asshole. Abortion is a choice. These kids didn’t have a choice when some limp dicked kid decided to shoot up a school.

I’m all for showing the snapchats, videos, tweets, etc... unedited with the cursing, the screams, and the bodies and the blood. Show it nightly. Show it everywhere. Don’t apologize for the content. Apologize for letting it happen. Let everyone see what it’s like to be in a room when an active shooter opens fire, what…

Comic books are great gateways for reluctant readers and those learning to read. I let my son read my comic books ( approved comic books -no Saga or Monstress for him yet) when he was about three or four. Then he started picking out his own and would read them for hours. Now he reads nonstop at about 5 or 6 grade…

Similar. Having seen TLJ four times now, it’s by far and above my favorite. (Although I should probably revisit the prequels - it’s been 10+ years since I’ve seen them and only watched them once).

But what about my emotional support snakes on a plane!?

We used “weed”, “ganja”, “marijuana” and “pot” growing up. “Cannabis” became more popular about 10-15 years ago when it was legalized for medicinal use. Now it’s broken into subsets of “flower” (the actual plant) and “extracts” with extracts further broken into terms like “wax” “shatter” “dabs” and “oils”.

No, I’m a Best Coaster for life...

Hahahaha! There’s now a 30% tariff on solar panels as of last week... So it’s a double tax. I got a job offer a few months ago in Chicago and just couldn’t even consider it. We have a good quality of life out here. My son loves it here. And tacos.

Well, we do pay a sunshine tax with our incredibly high cost of living... Yeah 40s is about as low as I can take it and I’ll complain bitterly through it.

Hahaha. I say I like it moody and dark but we just got over a week of cloudy and cold (cold for me) weather and this weekend was like 80 and sunny and all I wanted to do is be outside hiking and I’m in an incredibly good mood. Wife calls me her happy goth.

I remember the first few weeks when the album came out we had this incredibly dark soupy fog which is totally not normal. I walk my dog at like 5:30 AM and would just put this album on and walk with it blasting in my ears and I’d listen from start to finish. Dog got a lot of extra exercise that month.

Shrines is a very very good album I played (and still do) the hell out of.

Amen. Amen.
