Sorry to hear that man, hope things get better for you.

Amen dude. Super fucked. That whole movie was depressing because of how stupidly accurate it is.

It’s ‘the newest hot’ aka the thing most people know is a good thing, but know nothing beyond the basics. Sets up for people to easily rip you off, install sub-par products, perform shitty installation, overcharge with shitty interest rate loans, etc.

Man that scene was fuckin harsh. The movie is Civil War and does a great job of showing why you don’t actually want a civil war to break out.

I’ve had light vertigo for 2 months because I sat up too fast in bed. It’s fucking horrible.

This got a chuckle out of me man, thanks.

I find the point being looking at toxic traits and seeing what the normal version of that is. In example: Men showing emotion being viewed as weak, and other men bullying or belittling those that do. Obviously you’re not going to pursue being more emotional, but you can be there for young boys that are in your life and tell them it’s okay to experience these things. Teach proper coping mechanisms, or learn them yourself if you need to. Another example would be wardrobe. My dad was huge on black being some sort of gateway to god knows wtf he thought. Also thought dudes wearing nail polish was absolutely unacceptable. Am I going to go around trying to force myself to wear those things now? Nah, not my style, but if my kids want to wear certain colors or paint their nails I’ll make damn sure they done feel immasculated because of those choices. Idk it’s weird to me to paint things definitively as ‘healthy masculinity’ and more of a ‘these behaviors obviously aren’t normal’. Healthy masculinity would be just returning to being a normal, feeling, caring human being. Maybe my view is skewed or something, idk. Happy to hear what others think.

Aka ‘pointy stick’

I’ll have to try marinating them, thanks for the info! Same on the feet, didn’t think about broth cooking them, assumed they would be BBQ like wings. Sounds good.

Of everything here this has me laughing. I can’t even imagine what you do to the toilets you frequent, holy shit.

Idk, tomatoes overall I can’t get behind. There was ONE time I enjoyed eating a tomato. They were huge, and served as a single slice with salt and bleu cheese. The tomato itself was actually flavorful and sweet. I feel like tomatoes in the south are just gross and flavorless, and when in the context of a burger add nothing but sogginess.

Never heard of this but now I’m intrigued? What is the flavor / texture like??

I mean, even within beer there’s a huge variation in flavors.

Liver is still a fave of mine but there’s next to nowhere that serves it restaurant-wise and no idea where I’d be able to pick it up locally to try cooking it myself. I’m not even sure what seasoning would be good on it as well if I were to get a hold of it.

I had a friend turn me on to chicken hearts when I was heavy into grilling and love introducing people to them. Super easy to grill too. Season, skewer, throw them on, done. Chicken feet though??? Idk, hard for me to get behind knowing they’ve been treading through dirt their whole lives, or worse.

I got hired by a small start up a couple years back and was basically responsible for an entire platform from top to bottom. High stress? Oh you bet your ass! But god damn having full control and building out huge solutions that customers were using and giving exuberant feedback on were highs I have yet to achieve in other settings. I suffer from imposter syndrome constantly and being in that space helped reassure me I did in fact know what I was doing and was actually pretty damn good at it. The startup failed, which of course sucked, but in the end it was for the better.

They were big with the rollerblade community as it was a way to grind rails without rollerblades. I was in the skater / rollerblade clique in my HS and they were relatively popular. Since I had the coordination of a 2 legged cow I went for heelys. I was cool in my own mind at least…

This timeline is fucked and I’m done with it.

Recently made a super profitable cocaine mix called ‘Slimy Dick’ and I have laughed every time and order comes in via text. ‘Yo dawg I’m looking for x1 Slimy Dick.’

That effect is called ‘Tropic Thunder’ which is a reference to RDJs role in the movie by the same name.
