Knowledge-gated progression perhaps.

I kind of enjoy the abstruse, tortured jargon of “metroidbrainia”, but I would never use it in a respectable conversation.

It’s a terrible thing to become aware of one’s own consistencies

Fewer martini lunches too, though I’m not sure about the water bill

I had to let the point slide, never argue matters of taste with people who eat shit

Feels like we’re dancing around the topic of purchasing power collapse so it might as well be said - this is a bread and circuses issue at heart.

$50 today is equivalent to about $28.50 19 years ago. So it’s effectively half price lmao

HAAHA

My partner and I had a habit of treating merges as teamwork. Driver focuses on front, copilot looks back/sideways, and driver implicitly trusts when copilot says “go”. We were pretty slick with our merges.

To equivocate, we have since relocated to a city with good enough public transit that we were able to ditch our car entirely. Life is definitely better this way.

Crazy how I know a guy with a shitty younger brother who is a completely inept sociopath and has been actively ruining his life and making normalcy impossible within this exact same dynamic. I can’t go into any detail because it’d affect their business, but it’s exactly this scenario. Last night I was warning him that he might lash out to preserve the status quo - exactly how Israel is right now.

Literally just a fried slice of bread. You know how good the bread gets in a cheese toastie? All crisp and buttery? You can do that even if cheese isn’t involved.

A peanut butter and strawberry conserve sandwich fried in butter is one of those delicacies you can only really eat a few times in your life without turning into an elephant, but it’s worth the risk.

Totally unrelatedly, excited to use my leftover no-knead brioche to make french toast tomorrow…

Results like this are much more achievable with fried slice. Might get fat tho.

Only a ~2% chance 4 years from now. And it’s an order of magnitude smaller than the one that hit Chicxulub. Yawn

Blame Codename: Kids Next Door.

Trump Always Chickens Out. Referring to the tariff embroglio recently

They were both definitely authored by someone who doesn’t respect the audience

I showed my kid the trailer for bits & bops and he literally did a gasp of delight. Thanks for that :)

You can’t change the machines, but try not to let them change you.
