Well, that's enough serious posting. What's everyone eating for superbowl? We're doing a taco bar, nachos, little smokies, chicken wings, chili cheese dip, and cheesecake.

It sounds like a silly lifehack but I've started drinking near-beer when stressed out at work. My brain is too dumb to realize that I'm not actually feeding it booze so I still get a nice dopamine hit.

Heiniken 00 and St Pauli's Girl are p good. Give it a try!

Edit: I work from home, don't try this in the office

if anyone does ever get an opportunity to go to the yellowstone/grand tetons (insane to me they named a mountain range 'giant titties') jump on that poo poo. i've done a bit of traveling across the continental us and the vistas and wildlife at both are truly remarkable even compared to standouts like yosemite/zion/bryce

An older gentleman in line with me just spent the last 10 minutes explaining to me that is excited he has been chosen to become "the next King David" because it means he will soon have the power to throw family court judges in jail.

He also explained that family court exists as a separate court because they only select the most evil people to be judges there and family court judges created family court because they have so much power and money. But, whoever is appointed King David has power over them.

oh yeah! the beartooth highway wasn't open for the season, but the first 15 miles or so had been plowed so we were able to drive partway up. spectacular views. also i'm from a land with absolutely no snow, so to see all of these spots covered in snow and ice in may was such a novel experience

I always like the thoery that Jesus was just trusting God to do something and then like, just before the first nail on the cross is driven in God's like "...yeah this is awkward but I'm gonna need you to die here sorry"

i clean toilets now (it's a living). today i was contemplating a very deliberate mess and it was like doing a forensic analysis of blood spatter dynamics, except in this case it was piss spatter dynamics and my brilliant conclusion was that someone had stood upright on the toilet bowl and sprayed forth from that elevated height with great fury. i am sherlock holmes

American schooling varies tremendously from state to state and even from district to district. The history classes I got in school mostly just covered 1776-1865, with basically zero mention of anything that happened in the 20th century.

there used to be a small meat packers in my parents neighborhood. their slogan was "you can't beat our meat". as with all blue collar work in the country, it morphed into an empty building at some point. eventually it became a strip club, and i've always been a little sad they didn't continue the slogan

I thought gout was foot pain and usually only in overweight people?

It's also supposed to be very painful, but this is just kind of lightly painful when I put a lot of pressure on one specific toe (left pinky).

I also don't drink alcohol or eat organ meat (like liver, kidney), and some kinds of seafood, such as anchovies, sardines, mussels, scallops, trout, and tuna.

Doesn't seem like gout.

speaking of american's problem recognizing prominent women, even knowing about american's history of musical appropriation, it still absolutely blew my mind to recently find out that the first artist to prominently play the electric guitar while incorporating elements of gospel, blues, and honky-tonk in what would come to be known as rock and roll was a black woman. not only that, but she directly got little richard into performing music

do i live under a rock or something? how did it take me decades to hear about this?
