A lot of this shit is affected by what you eat. If I eat a lot of sugar and gluten it definitely affects my skin and dandruff 2-3 days later.

Besides what a lot of people said, try to stick to foods that don’t cause inflammation or reactions.

The Last Seduction

Drove through there (Boring) an hour ago. It’s a cute place

A friend of mine bought a house for $40k under market because a murder suicide happened there the year before.

He said, “that sucks, but it’s not like I knew them or anything”

Great quote, but this isn’t really a children’s movie

Strap in. It’s an election year

Bought mine in 2017. Mine is double. It makes zero sense

I used it for a bit. It was nice sending and receiving images from iPhone using friends that didn’t look like blown up 50x50 thumbnails of jpeg artifacting

I’m pretty left/lean socialist. The tankies that annoy me from those instances are pro authoritarian communists who say shit like “Stalin did nothing wrong” with no irony whatsoever. It’s not really about bickering over ideological purity past a certain point, some of that shit makes a good case for the horseshoe theory

My favorite is that a a celiac, all the gluten free stuff is 20% more expensive. Because you know, rice and tapioca are such expensive, exotic ingredients

I don’t want rubbery, sweet shit in my Mac and cheese.

On their own this m they’re fine.

Do you like pickles in your ice cream?

I will go on record as saying I don’t give a shit if there’s pineapple on my pizza. I wouldn’t order it that way, but I’ll enjoy a pineapple, jalapeño, ham pizza if a slice is put in front of me.

Raisins in Mac and cheese… I can imagine it’s probably tasty enough, but the rubbery consistency of raisins in tandem with sticky pasta is what I find revolting

Thankfully this aesthetic has died off in most places, but the 5 year old head unit in my car has weird 3D icons of all the menu items complete with drop shadows, skewed perspective as if they’re floating in space, and reflections. The background is some weird Tron shit and all the text looks like it’s supposed to be some medical tech company from 2010

Still a classic

If the guy was Finnish I’d high five the shit out of him

(Actually, even that gets dicey. WW2 was kind of a mess)

Actually a current Nazi in WW2. It’s arguable if he’s an ex Nazi now

All the Battles videos are really creative. “My Machines” with Gary Neumann might be my favorite and the entirety of the video happens on an escalator

Racist? I’m not trying to make a bad faith argument, but… what?

Dude. No one’s forcing you to eat out. Don’t if you don’t want to pay into that system (or just stiff if tipping as an institution is satanic to you)

Hah. No.

I guarantee I think (and thought) about tipping a fuck of a lot less than you do. I’d get stiffed on occasion, but in general my job was to allow customers to relax and facilitate they have a good time. It always shook out by the end of the night and I barely kept track of who tipped what unless it was really outside of standard deviation one direction or the other. It’s gauche as fuck to hint at a tip or even look at the slip while in view of guests.

Know who tips the best? Other servers. I and others who knew each other in those circles tipped one another 50+% when we’d patronize one another. We probably passed the same batch of money around. Of course we were usually comped rounds of drinks and appetizers, so… surprise surprise, the night out cost the same anyway, but we didn’t get shitty and cheap trying to game the system.

Also, these are the social contract seas we swim in, smoothbrain. You think someone at an upscale establishment is going to stick it to the man by walking out? I have problems with capitalism as a whole, but you and yours seem to think servers (and I’d be willing to bet other “unskilled” workers by your definition) don’t deserve adequate compensation? I didn’t come up with this system, but it’s what we’ve got and there’s an elegance to it if you don’t get all butthurt. You’d pay what you’re paying plus tip one way or another. Grow a pair and stiff your server if you’re that annoyed. I’d respect that more than you being a keyboard warrior after folding and having a clenched asshole for feeling obligated to give a server 15%

There is a really easy way for you to get what you want and not play into this system: stay home. No one wants to socialize with you out getting drinks anyway

Yeah, there was a ton of awareness leading up and code was brought up to spec. I’m not saying nothing was done and we skirted through. Luckily there were only a couple of blips that didn’t really wreck anything
