I appreciate that there are multiple bathrooms I can potentially dip into along my normal routes.

A haunted house for academics but it is just all the emails you could have quickly responded to but did not but did think about all the time but still never just wrote the f'in response
Especially when any new title is also competing with “Or I could play this older game I bought on a Steam sale for $5”.
All three of our dogs come running as soon as they hear someone chopping vegetables.

Even if intentions are good, doing that in public is super fraught.

I know I'm always banging on about this, but food banks can do so much more with your donation if you give money rather than food itself.
food banks have already been under pressure over the past several years, and with SNAP benefits expiring they're going to be the only safety net for a lot of people

please donate what you can. $100 can feed several families for a month because of the discounts and purchasing power they have

Need some sort of Problematic Fav amnesty, so people can back down from stan culture without feeling like their identity and ego are destroyed. Maybe a cringe jubilee tied to open enrollment
Even if it worked as hoped with no errors, how long would they actually still have jobs? Can you make enough to set yourself up for life before the cliff comes?
Biology is deeply crufty.

i think it’s good, actually, that people change their minds upon learning new information, and i think that behavior should be encouraged. bold stance, i know.
This reminds me that I should make another batch of ham hocks and pork neck bones. Only tricky part is running the smoker and if I'm really lazy I could haul them to my in-laws' place and use the Traeger.

one of the reasons I don’t really like to get into even silly sounding conspiracy theories is that the answer to “fun conspiracy or antisemitism” is almost always “antisemitism”

it is the ugly ur-conspiracy at the bottom of most of these rabbit holes
Before you start making jokes about this - the reptilian conspiracy theory is deep, rabbit hole-level antisemitism.

Was just advertised Meta AI glasses for cycling and while, yes, having a HUD could be nice in certain situations, I also don't want to wear anything that might effectively blind me if it glitches out. Beyond the more obvious issues.
Once watched someone do that... with a bike on their shoulder. Was never brave/foolish enough to try, especially since I was usually wearing mountain bike shoes with dubious traction on hard surfaces.
That's worse than the SE 10th/11th train crossing.
I swore off gels after doing a couple of long rides fueled entirely by carbs that gave me week long bouts of reflux.
Once a single bottle costs the same amount as a trip to the distillery, you’ve lost me.
Think Carmen Sandiego vibes, but it's impossible to memorize the answers.
Inspired by @kbspangler.com: a civic education focused game show where people have to puzzle out the logistics of every day items and services, inevitably to find out that it's vastly more complicated than they imagined
This is basically the food regulation question all over again. Is it good to know where your food is coming from and what kind of practices they use? Unquestionably. Do we have the ability to do that well on an individual level? Very rarely.
