‘Spiritual but not religious’ is an incredibly common self-descriptor in the AA/NA community.

In that context it’s anything but smug, it usually means something along the lines of ‘I’m working this program and doing what it tells me to do in terms of the Higher Power, but I’m not a bible thumper’.

It's not that hard to get a mortgage if you've been working for at least two years straight and don't have abysmal credit. There's tons of grants and first time home buyer incentives and a lot of the time the actual lenders will have additional cash bonuses (usually can apply them to closing costs or as part of the down payment). That doesn't mean everyone gets to live where ever they want or anything, but if you've got ~3% to put down (sometimes don't even need that) and good credit, there's nothing stopping you from buying a place.

I think this varies tremendously depending on both your income level and your geographic area.

Decent new/newish country music had it’s name changed to ‘Americana’ about ten-fifteen years ago. poo poo like Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Lucinda Williams, things that are undeniably country-with-a-small-c, but aren’t pandering crap.

There's zero reason to buy chicken breast when Thighs are available. They're tastier, juicier, cheaper, and harder to gently caress up.

I agree with you in most cases, but if I’m making an old-school chicken parmigiana, thighs fall apart when you pound ‘em flat, while I can beat my (breast)meat vigorously until I have a 3/8” thick circle about a foot in diameter.

Eh, he’s not wrong, horseshit, cowshit - most any grazing animal isn’t bad in small, isolated quantities.
What -is- bad is a whole shitload of it mixed with piss in a confined area, like a feedlot or crowded stable/corral.

The Foo Fighters and Fugazi kind of occupy the same level of technical and songwriting quality (extremely ok) to me if I try to look at it objectively, but something about Fugazi’s music annoys the hell out of me in a way the Foo Fighters doesn’t and I don’t know why. Foo Fighters just bores me.

Also maybe unpopular opinion, but I cannot stand any comedy or actual situation where I have to sit and watch someone get humiliated. Even if the person is a bit of a tit I find it almost painful to watch bad things or social ostracism happen to someone. It also means stuff like the office or I'm Alan Partridge is just impossible for me to watch.

I’m right there with you - the whole cringe/humiliate ‘comedy’ genre is, to me, not funny and I hate it. I think it’s because for some reason, I always empathize with the poor guy/girl who’s being hosed with for cheap laughs.

Anyone who’s had to remove carpeting knows the poo poo is absolutely disgusting - you’re basically living in your own filth. You can try to be careful and vacuum often and get it professionally cleaned, but it’s still nasty. Dogs and children make it 1000x worse.

That said, I can still see why someone might want it in bedrooms, it’s vnice to walk on in bare feet in the winter.

Cold rules.

gently caress yes. Having a cold house and burrowing under several warm blankets to read/shitpost/watch media is a great feeling.

I hate going over to people’s houses in the winter and they’ve got the thermostat cranked up to ‘sauté’ and I’m wearing a couple layers of clothing and instantly start sweating.

That’s my personal pet peeve; putting huge amounts of lovely tasteless iceberg lettuce on food that’s served hot. Burritos, tacos, hot sandwiches, even burgers- it just makes the food cold and the limp lukewarm lettuce can be a PITA to try to pick off. I know they do it just to make the food appear larger - I’ve never heard a single soul say ‘gee, this wilted tepid lettuce really makes this XXXX taste fantastic’.

Subway is the worst offender, but at least most of their sandwiches are cold.

What's Up by The Four Blondes isn't that bad a song at all. I can see why the lead singer's voice is annoying. I don't mind the song, though and the hate for it is an example of something people don't know why they hate; they're just supposed to hate it (same as Comic Sans).

I never hated it either, although I could easily see it being irritating as hell if you didn’t like it.

I know someone who was on Jeopardy. She said the biggest factor was reaction time with the buzzer. Most people who make it to the actual show are going to know the trivia pretty well but you have to be faster on the draw than the other players.

My GF tried out for Jeopardy, and she said the same thing, the button/buzzer timing was critical. She didn’t get the timing down very well and didn’t make it, and she knows her stuff - she won Ben Stein’s $5k on that old Comedy Central show back on the day.

Legit one of the best albums, ever. Better than what Nirvana ever did.

I’ve been arguing this since 1994, and all I ever hear is how insane Love is and how she killed Kurt.
Dude….Courtney couldn’t have kept her mouth shut about anything for more than five seconds, you think she could mastermind a murder plot? The only thing she killed was multiple bottles of Xanax.

I saw Hole at the Fillmore on that tour and it legit was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to, and I’ve probably been to 500+.
