Also politics related "news".

That's not how the industry works.

Or, you know, any industry.

James Gandolfini?

Here's my hot take:

No nation has the inherent right to exist. A nation has the sole duty to safeguard the lives, safety, and freedom of all of its people, and any nation that consistently fails to do this is illegitimate.

And yes, I agree, this makes nearly every nation illegitimate.

It's gotta be. I'd recognize that "art" style anywhere.

I wasn't actually sure, so I did a reverse image search, and it looks like the artist is Hannah Hillam.

I think I'm in love with her stuff.

The multiverse is a concept about which we know frighteningly little.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 3 months ago

I did that with mine, and they made themselves fat. The vet basically made me start feeding them regular meals instead so they'd lose some weight. But I've had other cats before that were fine with just having food out.

FakeGreekGirl , 3 months ago

I'd wear these. They look rad.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 3 months ago

I'm not into guys, but that dude is sorely tempting.

Gen X was born before around 82, I think, so they were probably a bit old for Air Bud to be a childhood movie in 97. Definitely the older ones might have watched it with their kids, though.

There's a new cider brewery that opened downtown that has no tipping. It's quite liberating.

FakeGreekGirl , 3 months ago

Because tipping is so ingrained customarily that if it's not banned, it will still be expected.

FakeGreekGirl , 3 months ago

Wait, are you saying that they're withholding rent and food money from servers by avoiding establishments that expect tipping?

Are we now obligated to eat out?

FakeGreekGirl , 3 months ago

I mean, they pushed back against someone who specifically said they avoid establishments where they are required to tip. What else can I get from that?

FakeGreekGirl , 3 months ago

I think I get what you're saying there. I was reading their comment in the context of how I read what they were replying to.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 3 months ago

True. The really poor people buy the off brand Malt-O-Meal cereals.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 3 months ago

And twist his nuts!

FakeGreekGirl OP , 3 months ago

Not really, no. I mean, it's cheaper than, like, steak, but it usually goes for twice as much or more than the store brand or bargain brand cereals.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 3 months ago

Where I am, the big cereal brands (Kelloggs, Post, General Mills) tend to go for $6-7 a box, and the bargain brands are like half that at most. I agree, rice and beans would work better if you were being frugal. Or eggs; eggs were real expensive for a bit, but they're back down to $2 a dozen.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 3 months ago

I think that's mostly to wash the excess starches off of the rice.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 3 months ago

I'll ask Madame Guillotine if she is up for another round.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 3 months ago

Yeah, that is an excellent point. The time to actually prepare rice and beans comes at a premium when you're working multiple jobs to make ends meet.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 3 months ago

Sure, but neither would you, if you drank a cup of gasoline.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 3 months ago

15-20 minutes is a long time when you have a 30-minute gap between your two jobs.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 3 months ago

Yeah, there was like a whole movement of "doctors" who recommended bland food to suppress masturbation, which would supposedly make you healthier.

That's also how we got Graham crackers.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 3 months ago

Look up John Harvey Kellogg sometime. Dude was the Gwyneth Paltrow of his day.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 3 months ago

I mean, hot.

FakeGreekGirl OP , 3 months ago

Yeah, but being poor and overworked will also kill your mental health, so...

FakeGreekGirl , 3 months ago

I switched from Eternity to Voyager, and I recommend the move.

FakeGreekGirl , 3 months ago

That. Few 17 year olds actually make the deliberate choice to have a child.

The version I always heard when I was young was, "If you're not a liberal at 20, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative at 40, you have no brain."

Here I am in my mid 40s, and I'm pretty sure the conservatives are the ones with no brains.

FakeGreekGirl , 3 months ago

Formally progressive ideas (like mixed race marriage) are no-brainers today

I mean, you say that, but...

People who assume you're MAGA because you don't like Biden aren't the far left. Most of the far left doesn't like Biden either. Dude is a centrist placator. I will say he's better than the alternative, but that's only because the alternative is a demented ultra-grifter and his cult of fascist rubes.

It's a brand of toilet bowl cleaner.

FakeGreekGirl , 3 months ago

And both are equally valid.

I mentioned their Wilderness with Lavender scent in another comment. It literally just smells like lavender, and that's a good thing.

I remember seeing that in the store before my egg cracked, and it had a sticker that said "Smells like manly lavender smells". I smelled it to find out what "manly lavender" smells like, and I quickly realized (1) it just smells like lavender, and (2) I really wanted to smell like lavender.

It's funny looking back now, but the fact that it took a marketing campaign to tell me it was OK to like the scent of flowers...

FakeGreekGirl , 3 months ago

We definitely have it in the US as well.

FakeGreekGirl , 3 months ago

I used to gravitate towards more woodsy or foresty scents myself. Looking back, I think it was because that was the closest I could get to floral without being too "girly".

FakeGreekGirl , 3 months ago

Yeah, this would probably be better with a bit of a wording change (like "how deodorant is sold to women/how deodorant is sold to men").

I mean, there's definitely a real phenomenon at play here, but I think it has more to do with how the system indoctrinates us than any real, actual preferences.

I once tried to get internet service from a phone company which shall remain nameless*, and after three weeks and two missed appointments, I got an appointment from them for a Tuesday after 12PM. Nothing more specific than that, but "after 12PM".

I had some stuff to do at work, so I went in to the office for the morning, then headed home. Got home at 11:55 AM, saw a note on the door saying sorry we missed you, please call back for a new appointment.

I'm pretty sure my rage could have powered the sun at that point.

*here's a hint: it starts with V and ends with erizon.
