Ether Frenzy posted:Yeah but Dubuque has that A&W that still serves draught root beer and it's like 2+ hours before you hit one in WI or IL. Other than that... Dubuque makes the Quad Cities seem nice. I love Dubuque. I lived here for eight years the first time around, and it'll be two years again next month. It's a beautiful river city with some amazing restaurants, beautiful parks, and some really dear friends. But Iowa as a whole has gone so far backwards that I can't really call this state home anymore.

Yeah, Chuck Grassley has been a relatively manageable blight on the state's reputation for a looong time, but that governor really is a piece of poo poo. it's a shame because the eastern half of the state is actually pretty civilized.

We used to be called "the state of Dubuque," because the county was so reliably blue, but even that isn't true anymore.

I loved Mario 2, aka Doki Doki Panic. If that ever came to the silver screen, I want a scene where they have to get across a large gap, and Mario jumps on an egg from the conveniently placed Birdo, Luigi just jumps across, Peach uses her floating power to go across, and Toad just goes into the building / maze, and comes out the other side. Oh, I see that's a Mario 2 aka Lost Levels joke. Well I beat that game when I got my SNES so ok, I get it now.

They needed IVF to become pregnant, both look like they have 20/200 eyesight and would explode if they were in direct sunlight. But sure, genetically superior.

At the risk of a major spoiler They’re all in this movie and Peach floats.

Torsten is definitely the name of the mid level manager who's really pushing everyone back into the office.

Let’s ignore the weird eugenicist freaks and argue about food instead. I am not a fan of earring soft foods that have mold on them.

I am only halfway through this test but I"m going to tell you that I am eating every goddamned thing. e: moldy bread is my thing apparently. I would prefer not to eat bread that had mold on it if the part was cut away. But mostly because I have more bread that is not moldy ready to go I think. Now cheese, slicing off some mold I'm fine with, I'm eating goddamned cheese here. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Apr 18, 2023 |

Yeah mold on bread or on jam I’m not messing with. My understanding is that even if you don’t see it elsewhere it spreads very easily through those. Hard cheese? A-OK. I’ll be in Oaxaca starting on Thursday and apparently fried grasshoppers (chapulines) are a thing there. Will report back.

A chef using the same tasting spoon repeatedly is gross, though. I'm grabbing a new spoon every time if I'm cooking for anyone other than my wife and me.

If you got moldy bread, then you can't just cut that off, there's mold you can't see all over it!

Ehud posted:lol I like how the baby already knows his parents are lame as hell Yeah, this doesn't worry me at all because the kids of these types of parents always end up loving hating their parents. If somehow their kids end up the ruling elite of the next generation, it will be because they did the opposite of whatever their parents tried to make them do, but most likely they'll be insanely stressed by parental pressure until sometime in their teens or early twenties and they discover weed and then just get stoned and float along on their inherited privilege.

I think it might be about time for me to look for an exit ramp from this tree job. Our sales in my area have been extremely snake-bit for a little over a month now, during what should normally be one of our busiest times of the year. In that month I have had no appointments and the only jobs I've sold have been 2 or 3 to my own loving house. I have been sent home for a day without pay for not hitting my daily estimate/sale quota twice in the last 3 weeks, and I've heard talk of the company owner thinking about doing this to other salespeople for entire weeks if poo poo doesn't pick up soon. The only other sales rep for my area hasn't been having much better luck than me, based on what he's told me in conversation. We HAD a third rep who started around mid to late March, but I found out last week that he up and quit after like 3 weeks on the job, and hell I don't blame him. I have hung on at this place way longer than anyone should, mostly because I am a spineless coward with almost no sense of self-worth or confidence in any of my other marketable skills and I've been too desperate for a paycheck to want to risk going somewhere else that might turn out to be worse... but things at this company are coming to such a head right now that I am honestly questioning whether my branch will even survive another month.
