Triple H

I just said fuck it and don't really watch new TV shows or movies at home anymore. I've been watching X Men 97 with a friend and Chucky with my sister but now that those are over for the season, I really don't have anything current to watch even if someone else is paying for it.

I do pay for Apple Music though because I use and enjoy that daily but that's it. If I'm watching something online, it's going to be YouTube.

However, I have been buying DVDs again and set up my own media server with TV shows and movies I like. I might keep expanding that.

Dogs, of course.

I bought a workout program from a guy on instagram. $30 and it's pretty good.

I also bought a couple of t-shirts from a pro-wrestler through instagram.

Eat a f'n banana for once. It won't kill you.

the chiropractors on youtube say otherwise!

As a kid, my first experience with those was unsuspectingly reaching into a bag of Lay's that my uncle had and shoving a handful in my mouth. He laughed at my reaction and from that moment on, I was traumatized away from that aquamarine (or whatever shade that was) bag for about 20 years. I tried them again in my late 20s now and fell in love with them. At one point, I ate so many of them that my tongue developed blisters.

It really was just the shock of it and expecting a regular potato chip. I would have otherwise liked them because I ate pickles, Lucas candy, and all kinds of sour stuff fairly often as a kid.

Anyway, I'm one of the guys in the middle back.

Quite comfortably, assuming I don't get that money and discover I'm only frugal because I have to be.

That's basically what I do anyway. I'll be collecting my money shortly.

I went to college for sustainable natural resource use and wildlife management. I very much detest her dramatics and grandstanding on subjects she has very little knowledge of.

Where does your analysis of things diverge from hers?

This is just some ultra rich dude who exploits people for a living getting the vapors because he can't believe the audacity of the poors to not give a fuck about their pointless job.

Have you thrown up any more leviathans?

Nintendo, I'm sorry for party rocking :(

no

Yes. I grew up in a family of people who shit on every good thing anyone ever experienced, either intentionally or unintentionally. Someone always found some way to take someone down a peg and I resolved at a young age not to be like that. I like when good things happen to the people I care about. Or even people I don't care about tbh.

I don't see many smartcars around here but damn near every single Fiat I've seen is driven by a fat guy.

I myself am overweight, down from super morbidly obese at one point, and I have this theory that there are two kinds of fat drivers.

There are those who are comfortable being fat and know how to maneuver themselves with confidence and, dare I say, grace. They are okay having a large vehicle because aside from the room it affords them, moving that kind of mass around is second nature to them. It is a natural extension of them.

Then there are those who are worried about taking up space and how they'll navigate around others. They hate being an imposition. They worry about their overhang bumping into people or have unwieldy lovehandles that sideswipe things. As such, they want something that is the opposite of them. They want something that is compact and pulled in close so that it is not as unwieldy as they themselves are. Even if it's not as spacious as a bigger vehicle, even if it's actually cramped as hell, it's still better than having a large, cumbersome vehicle swinging its lovehandles all over the place, so to speak.

I was in the latter camp. I haven't driven much in my life, don't currently, and I don't have serious plans to ever become a regular driver because I hate everything about driving. A big part of that is that I never found the right vehicle early on. Everyone tried to force me into giant SUVs or bigass grandma Lincoln because fat guy needs a big, spacious vehicle. Didn't work that way. I felt self-conscious and out of control.

I did, however, drive a Geo Metro once and felt far more comfortable in that, aside from the big ass trucks and insane drivers that would destroy that car. I felt in total control in a way that I never did in the Suburban my brother tried to give me or even the Jeep Wrangler a friend let me drive.

I would like to try out a Smartcar, though maybe if I move elsewhere because I don't want to drive anything like that in Dallas.

Everyone owes the president an apology.

I generally eat pretty healthy. Lots of whole grains, legumes, and a variety of fruit, veg, nuts, and seeds.

I am, however, coming out of a phase where I was eating more commercial bread products than I like to because it was convenient. I was still eating it with healthy things and not loading up two Dagwoods with a family sized bag of chips and a 2L soda like I used to do a few times a week when I was severely obese. Even still, having commercial bread as my main starch did start to wear on me. I'm back to cutting it out this week though.

I also lift 3 or 4 times a week and walk at least a couple of miles every day.

And yeah, it's pretty weird how differently I am treated. I rode the DART Rail yesterday and for almost the whole ride I thought about how different the experience was from when I was super fat. It's great.

even if i didn't like dogs and cats, the mass extinction of two entire species of animal might have a far-reaching consequence or two

Assuming we're just talking about domestic (pet) cats and dogs and not their broader families, their current existence also has far reaching consequences. Cats especially are an ecological blight that has literally pushed species to extinction and will continue to do so. Not Thanos'ing them if given the chance would be wildly irresponsible. I say this as someone who absolutely loves cats.

what's the downside?

Because people need to haul things, especially in rural areas. This is not difficult. Owning a truck is much more convenient than borrowing or renting one every time you need one.

lol

due to the whole AI techbro phenomenon ongoing"

The "progress will take away old thing and replace it with a soulless machine" perspective predates the current AI menace.

I'm going for Blaqk Audio but Sisters of Mercy is still one of those "pilgrimage" shows I feel compelled to see. They're just a bonus that I have no real expectations of, so it's okay if they suck.

I went ahead and got tickets. $170 for two x_x

Can't wait though.

Yes but not in a very long time as they do not have any vegan options, which is annoying because their food is poor enough quality that they could switch it out with plant-based alternatives and no one would even notice.

I loved it btw.

I think it has more to do with they get the check up and then they don't go back after. You know how I know, next door is a older black lady with cancer and she refuses to go through chemo for it.

Lol wtf

My extremely white mother did the same thing. Diagnosed 9 years ago and never went to any of her followups.

I do believe I've seen everything in the MCU. I have enjoyed most of it on some level, even if I had criticisms or wouldn't watch it again. The sole exception, and the only thing I think is thoroughly and irredeemably bad, is Secret Invasion.

I had friends, so N64.

Yes, once.

Someone*

And no.

Yes.

Easily.

Can someone explain this to me? I only understand politics through a Harry Potter-MCUist lens.

Coke, because I like chaos.

Also, Big Red fucks but it's no Barq's Red Creme Soda. Also, everyone I know has thrown it up at least once in their life.

T hawk pls

They're called Chicanos and the mullet is an important part of their rich heritage.

Meh. I've been under extreme duress many times now and convinced death was imminent. The furthest thing from my mind was god of any kind, despite a traumatic Christian upbringing. The phrase is silly and meaningless to me.

You don't remember people throwing a fit in 2020 because they couldn't go to Applebee's?

bing bang diggiriggidong

first thing that I say after I wake up

I wonder what went wrong in my life.

Does anyone who gets into this stick with it? My nephews all were very into sneakers at one point and then just stopped.

Just finished my last set. That wasn't too diggiriggidong at all.

I have, and concluded I didn't like it, even if I liked the sentiment behind it. Merzbow is a bit too extreme, as far as "noise music" goes for my tastes. I'd rather throw on something like Coil or Einstrzende Neubauten.

Ah. I'm not too familiar with noise but some genres I listen to incorporate it to some extent, like hyperpop. I'm trying to get into making music myself and trying to expose myself to all kinds of stuff, so this is useful.

Shoulda let him go with it

Oddly enough I wasn't hating that, though I did get lightheaded for a moment. Is that something you actually listen to or were you just having a larf?

The bake a cake song is the only one I know from Lazy Town, and that's only because of the Lil Jon mashup, but I might have to check out more stuff because this is some quite competently done dance music. I always appreciate when a kid's show doesn't phone it in or dumb it down because it's for kids.

d'oh

sorry for the technical difficulties!

This song is great. It makes me think of n64 for some reason.
