If anyone wants to celebrate Italian-Americans today, you should listen to Italian Blood. They're way better than stupid Columbus.

whenever i read SRS i still think first of "summon raging spirits" from path of exile. i think it would be cool if trans people also got to throw flaming skulls at people who attacked them

when i was just starting to move left, i did this once. had to be told that was impolite (always have had a bad instinct for such things). the dude kept talking about wanting "chicks to suck his dick" and i thought it was a natural question. never doing that again.

Hopefully not having to get lathered up every time will help me keep this thinning mop under control.

After an annoying number of comments on my hair this week and a few not so subtle hints from my wife, I bought a dedicated electric shaver for my head. I got recommendations for the skull shaver brand but was really uncomfortable with how free they were with using SS as an abbreviation.

Gotta get the DVDs/Blu-Ray of this show since it's going off the streaming services I use.

Two screencaps from the Good Place. Top: Janet in front of Michael saying, "Fun fact: Columbus is in the Bad Place" to Chidi. Bottom: Same scene, Janet continues: "because of all the raping, slave trade, and genocide."

a fair point. i sometimes forget how difficult it is to deal with people whose use for the only life they think they have is to do evil

One would think that he'd be humbled by that and seek to make amends.

There are a shortage of Orthodox priests in the US and I'm more and more convinced they're cutting homiletics in order to get dudes through seminary faster. It's painful.

Awesome chicken, a day outside, beers with friends, and I won case new case for my hunting rifle (or the rifle I plan to buy for the upcoming season).

I have been raking coals in the fire pit and no longer need to trim my beard. lmao Good and hot

This is the best way to eat chicken.

Two men unload a rack of cooked chicken halves from a rack to a cooler lined with foil.

Several dozen cooked chicken halves on a rack.

Raw chicken halves in racks over a fire pit made of fire bricks.

i once listened to The Longest Johns's rendition of "Hard Times Come Again No More" for ~10 hours while finishing up a final project for a coding class. Fortunately my wife was away that weekend. In other words, I can understand repeating music. But nu metal? That hurts my heart
