I like pie, cake and the taste of beer and many spirits.

It kind of feels like most people don’t like traditional Thanksgiving food.
Please free yourself and eat what makes you happy. (And also make me a vegan pumpkin pie please)

I keep saying, Google intentionally making its search worse is a world-historical fumble, and it's a huge opportunity for so many others across the internet, if they'll just seize it..
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

It’s absolutely maddening to see someone whose only qualification for anything in life is his last name be treated like he should be taken seriously, when everyone with any sense should be working to prevent him from causing more harm than he already has.

In the early rounds of Holiday Baking Championship, I don’t know how the judges get through tasting 16 cakes.
They’d all taste awful after like number 4.

This is admittedly very easy for me to say, but don’t make something that should be fun so stressful.
We only get so many memories and time with the people we care about. Don’t waste them on inconsequential things.

Actually in the spirit of this conversation, what’s a decision you made about a past Thanksgiving holiday that really paid off? I think people often feel trapped by their lives. Sharing our experiences can liberate us from that sense of claustrophobia.
On the most recent episode of VIBE CHECK, we answer listener questions about Thanksgiving, most importantly “do you go celebrate with the family members you don’t even like?”

I’m Gen X and in high school I performed both Hey Jude and As Tears Go By at a local theatre.

Noticed a lot of grey, so ran out an bought a box dye. For some reason the virgin hair at my crown turned out much lighter than the coloured hair at the bottom?
Not sure how/why this happened. But now I’m fighting the urge to cut the bottom off completely.
