The part near the end of the first The Game TrueAnon episode where Brace mentions addicts being incapable of being alone was very interesting to me, since that's the polar opposite of my personal experience. I know it's the case for many/most addicts, but not to the extent that almost everyone is apparently like that. I guess it connects somewhat to the "ritualistic" nature of using; if someone starts using among other addicts, that might become part of the experience/"ritual" for them. Since it started as a solitary/secretive thing for me, that became an integral part of it instead.

This series has been really good so far (finished the second episode). I think it's a great and very appropriate topic to do more of a "deep dive" series about. It's kind of funny how Liz is obviously trying to talk slower and they're trying to mimick a more serious/polished writing/presentation style (probably directly taking Blowback as inspiration, though they/Yung Chomsky can't exactly pull off that level of production quality).

Edit: Not really directly related, but I was just reminded of something interesting that happened. At my friend's belated bachelor party, one of the guys there (who is a liberal) mentioned listening to Blowback seasons 1 and 2. So they're at least getting some exposure among audiences who wouldn't normally partake in "leftist media."

i saw chapo live on feb 2020 in sac just as the pandemic was about to start and after bernie won nevada. it was a pretty good time. lots of people singing union songs in line. met a few goons too.

ive also been dragged to a few other more normie ones like We Got This with Mark and Hal, 3x Welcome to Nightvale shows, and saw stav live. i'm going to see trueanon in november.

live podcast recordings are universally terrible though. i end up skipping most live episodes

They had a spicy grilled chicken sandwich for a very little while in 2009/2010 (or maybe I was in a test market for said sandwich) that I really liked but it disappeared and I’ve never seen it since

Chick-fil-A chicken isn't very good to me, I don't understand the appeal. I do wish they'd make spicy tenders though. Or that anyone would. Sometimes you want hot protein.

Eastern Europe Episode IV: A New Hope. I love President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. I understand and appreciate the precarious position the Ukrainians are navigating. I wish I could set up a 401(UA) fund from my paycheck to directly contribute my earnings to Ukraine's success.

A lot of “libs” I know hold some pretty left wing positions, they’re just 1) beaten down by the current political reality, 2) in direct conflict with their social class, and 3) too afraid to voice their opinions in front of people so as not to alienate anyone. Get someone with those views in a situation where they aren’t outnumbered, and occasionally you’ll be surprised.

I'd add 4) there's not the same encouragement on the left/center to spout off fringe views unprompted the way that there is on the right.

Chapo show last night Was Good. my wife chatted up a couple other ladies in the line for the restroom:

1. they didn’t listen to the podcast. me: why are they here? wife: boys
2. one of them said her man listens to hardcore history to fall asleep and that she LOVES Dan Carlin’s voice which wife found hilarious because she thinks he’s “like if somebody invented a serious muppet, for adults”

I've never eaten at Chik-Fil-A (like many establishments in the states I find the name to be frankly absurd, though that's not the reason I haven't been)- so the thing there is really just a whole chicken breast fried on a bun with a few pickles? That seems very basic- I guess the breading is good? Is it brined at least? What, if anything, makes it special vs a Popeye's sandwich, or the KFC "Famous" chicken sandwich (itself seeming to ape the Popeye's configuration) that was introduced more recently?

That Polynesian sauce is like the flavor packet for instant raman. It's so good, I don't need to know what it is, I know it is powerful.

Today for Sunday brunch I made Philip cheese steaks. Thin sliced top round, slices of cheddar, and hotdog buns. I fine chopped bell pepper, red onion, and poblano pepper and sauteed for 15, added Polynesian sauce and Thai sweet pepper sauce. Stir to emulsify into a thicker consistency. This is how you make that upstate New York delicacy called Boss Sauce right?

in addition to this, yeah it's brined in pickle juice or w/e which gives it an edge over similar places

chick-fil-a came first and most non-popeyes chicken sandwiches have been trying to copy it for years

it's brined in pickle juice, the waffle fries are usually pretty good, and if nothing else, the fact that chick-fil-a employs the entire youth group of the nearest church means that the restaurant is at least spotless
