BlindSite posted:Ugh Covid is up to thousands of cases a day here now - the govts decided to let it rip for - reasons now that everyone is 80% vaxed. The problem is my brothers fiance is pregnant, my parents have health issues and I get sinus problems / flare ups for no discernible reason. The tests that are supposed to be readily available are so low in stock everywhere they're being price gouged - like 60 dollars for a pack of 5. So Much so that some pharmacies are breaking down packs into singles and selling them for as much as 15 dollars a pop. Regardless of job prospects and resources, being unemployed absolutely sucks and I hate it, you’ve got my sympathies. It’s not just that we’ve come to define our role in society and wellbeing by the work that we do, or even the uncertainty of the future and financial stability, but just personally speaking not having that purpose, that THING to do is super destructive to me, and when there’s a pandemic it’s pretty difficult to find another thing to involve yourself in.

Hot Diggity! posted:Starting a Divinity: Original Sin 2 run tonight with three other people. Maybe a hot take since it seems crazy popular but I bounced off that game hard, even with a prebuilt character and thinking I understood the basics I couldn’t get anywhere on the first island without absolutely getting my poo poo rocked in combat, and without any actual indications about what I was doing wrong or could change I got pretty mad and dropped it. Like, I used to muscle through OG Baldur’s Gate and whatnot, I like to think I’m okay with unfriendly and confusing systems, but D:OS2 just wasn’t for me.

I also don’t think they’ve got the fortitude to actually vilify their opponents the way Republicans do, they’re too busy being reasonable adults in search of compromise to make more than the most mild philosophical and abstract critique

Overnight oats are good stuff, I usually just went straight oats/milk with maybe some berries to mix it up, but someone ITT recommended chicken stock and I gotta say, savory isn’t a terrible way to do it, especially for lunch. I usually toss in some stuff like pepper flakes, a dash of sesame oil, whatever to give it just a little more nuance if I’m going that route.

Oh poo poo, I saw him do standup a few months back, the same week Norm Macdonald died. Pretty good show, closing out with an unironic soulful acoustic guitar song was definitely not a choice I’d ordinarily love but given he spent a good chunk of the set just reminiscing about Norm and their relationship it was nice. Funny guy, I’ll always treasure childhood memories of AFHV, for better or worse it played a big role in inuring me to stupid internet videos.

Yeah I’ve got some AA shirts via Threadless from goddamn college 15 years ago that are still doing just fine, unreal lasting quality. Whether it’s good that I still wear them, I mean, come on, that’s not the point.

Braksgirl posted:I'm dying, y'all. Someone I work with posted in our agency group about a problem with a katana that her son bought at Epcot in the Japan pavilion. Despite living in Orlando, they had to get it mailed to their house (can't have weapons in the park, I guess) and it came in today. She was mad because when they unsheathed the sword there was an inscription on it and she thought maybe someone had bought it and returned it so they got a used sword. I get that reference!

I mean, there’s lots of stuff they could do to make Boba Fett cool, but they kind of already did it with the Mandalorian (as in literally that character, not Boba Fett showing up in it), once the novelty of watching someone in that outfit blast a buncha aliens and stormtroopers wears off, there’s not much left for Boba Fett to work with.

T-Square posted:I thought David Chang was kind of a dick so it’s cool to see he might be making an effort to turn that around. Also I have a copy of Momofuku and yeah there’s some pretty fancy rear end food in there. One of my recent favs though is Jon Favreaus Chef Show, it’s adorable watching Chef Roy teaching him how to make stuff and be patient but rib him at the same time. I’ve admittedly skipped that because I find Jon Favreaus’ on-screen presence pretty obnoxious, I’m sure it’s toned down from his outright acting but it still feels like a major barrier to entry
