I love older dogs. I used to foster seniors (one of whom my parents adopted), and we adopted my current dog at a very youthful 6. She’s 9 now and a total butt. I love her to pieces. We’ve also had really good luck - all but one of my dogs has lived to 15+. If my dog wasn’t so hostile, I’d happily have another one but she’s not a fan.

I’ve never even bothered to say never. I already know it’s a lie.

Oh man, that’s the dream. I buy it from a local guy who started making his mom’s recipe for friends during the pandemic and now sells at farmers markets and stuff, and I go through about a gallon every month or two. I need him to start selling me buckets of it.

I always liked sauerkraut but I was weirdly against the idea of kimchi as a kid. I think the first time I heard of it, it was described by someone who didn’t like it because it sounded super gross, and I had zero spice tolerance. These days, I put it on practically everything or eat it by itself as a side.

That’s crazy. Bread is incredible. I’ll happy sit and tear pieces off and eat them like an animal. I also like condiments, but plain bread is fantastic if it’s good bread.

I mean, people care that the user experience goes downhill after he takes over. The only people claiming Twitter isn’t hot garbage are the ones who actively like him.

It’s less about people’s personal feelings about him and more that he turns everything he touches into a pile of shit that only a fanboy could love.

Well, that’s one way to get people to stop using it, I guess.

I feel like the next headline is going to be, “AI-Assisted Rifle Robot Shoots Hobbyist by Mistake.”

Cool cool cool. Target (at least in CO) sells Taylor Farms salad kits and I was annoyed that they discontinued the one I liked. Guess it was a blessing in disguise.

My job actually offers paid leave for a certain amount of health stuff outside of our normal leave, but there genuinely aren’t any places anywhere near me that don’t kind of suck, except for private facilities that I definitely can’t afford. Not being able to afford time off is also because there are only 2 of us that do my job and my coworker is having serious health issues. Like lots of hospitalization, months off serious. I’m basically fine, I just haven’t been happy in a really long time, so the idea of intensive treatment sounds kind of nice.

You’ll google “inpatient mental health treatment near me,” realize none of the options your insurance covers are all that good and you can’t really afford to take that much time off work anyway, and close the window. (Assuming you’re American, and probably need to get your meds adjusted.)

Well, it’s definitely wrong about lemons. How dare he. Also, how is he eating grapefruit that it’s considered that difficult?

Yeah turns out, “sitting in my room alone playing video games,” isn’t much of an alibi. I should get some hobbies that involve people. Like…multi-player games.

Oh noooo, I won’t be able to afford a home I already couldn’t afford because even mobile homes here are $60-100k with $800+ a month in lot rent. Whatever will I do.

Is there like, prep time? Or do you just have to decide and make it happen on the spot?

My 53 year old coworker does it even though it gets marked as an error in Word. I’m 40 and quit years ago when people figured out that fonts no longer require it for there to be obvious separation between sentences. I don’t think it’s really an age thing so much as it is a sign of adaptability, maybe?

Yeah dude, it was some time in 2014. I’m good with that.

Damn, look at this guy going right to the “bending the laws of the universe” boasts.

I don’t think we’ll ever really end homelessness, but we could absolutely get close if the money we spend on all these piecemeal measures was put to better use. No idea what the total spent is (probably more than that) but we’re basically dumping tons of money into half measures that only really help a handful of people. Supportive housing works for a much larger percentage of people experiencing homelessness, but no one wants to fund it because they hate the idea of giving someone housing without requiring something of them first. If Americans could get past the attitude of, “if I had to suffer, so should everyone else,” we’d all be a lot better off.
