Boo fucking hoo. Stop voting for policies that directly hurt you and yours just to spite perceived threats, and then maybe I’ll give a shit about your woes.

– an “enemy from within”

To eat the flies.

Blackout curtains have been essential for me. Instead of earplugs, I prefer a noisy fan. Circulating the air is good and the constant white noise normalizes hearing stuff, so neighbors or traffic or whatever isn’t different enough to wake me.

My wife has a Bluetooth sleep mask, so she can play soothing stuff from headspace or YouTube or Spotify while keeping light out of her eyes. You can find it pretty cheap.

As we enter dry winter months, a small humidifier in the bedroom might also be a good idea.

It also helps to have a routine on how you wind down for bed so that your body and mind can ease into being ready to sleep even if the clock or the sun are telling you otherwise. Maybe do some light reading, wash your face, set out something for the next day (like your outfit), whatever you need and can repeat nightly.

Same, but for some reason my wife doesn’t like the look of high refresh rate in games for the exact reason I don’t like low refresh. I played Jedi Survivor on PS5 for a little bit and felt uneasy until I found a setting to switch it from quality to performance. I was getting very mild headache and nausea symptoms until switching that, especially when spinning the camera around quickly. Running it in higher framerate also made timing in gameplay much easier. The only drawback was that cutscenes broke immersion because they were still locked at 30fps.

I really wish that game devs would prioritize achieving 60fps above 4k resolution. This question is even assuming that 60fps is the lowest acceptable option, yet it’s still not a given even at 2k yet. EA released a game in 2023 that runs in 30fps by default. I enjoyed the game overall, but it ran like dog shit, crashed multiple times, and felt a little short/barren to me. I could excuse all of that if it were a smaller company or the first year of the console’s life, but neither of those were the case in any way.

Anyway, yeah 60fps should be the bare minimum, but it still sometimes isn’t, and it literally makes me sick.

Reduce carb portions and replace with larger veggie portions, and understand that corn and potatoes and other starch vegetables are just carbs (but it seems like you already know that). You may need larger protein portions in your meals to feel more full, and that’s fine if your choosing lean proteins, which it seems like you already are.

Don’t be afraid of having fat in your diet, just avoid overly greasy stuff like too much fried food.

Overall, you’ll probably be fine to do what you’re doing, but stop insisting on having a ton of bread. Just control your portions, limit bread, and be conscious of how much sugar you’re actually eating in a day because that shit is in pretty much everything. If you’re rarely eating out and rarely eating processed crap like TV dinners and rarely drinking calories and rarely reaching for sweets and snacks, then you’re gonna do great! It takes a shitload of jogging to undo even a modest treat. Having two double stuff oreos sets you back 140 calories, which will probably take you about a mile and a half to work off. If you ask me, oreos just ain’t fucking worth it lol.

Bathtub.

Filled with jolly ranchers.

Welp, better late than never.

I would love to be proven wrong, but I’m not sure there’s anything in our wildest dreams that could snap anybody in his base out of their trance at this point. What line is there that he hasn’t already crossed?

Too clever for such a stupid man to come up with. Your throwaway joke while taking a shit is beyond his capabilities.

Do we know for certain that Brandon isn’t II?

Sharply agreed. My wife and I both work a lot and don’t have kids or even any pets (yet) and it’s insane to think that there was a time just a short while ago that one person with a high school diploma could work 40 hour weeks and it would cover a mortgage, two cars, multiple kids, and still have money for savings and modest vacations. DINK couples in their 30s like us are finally catching up to the average 20 somethings with a few kids of 40 years ago.

Shit has changed. And as a result, I think that pro-choice should mean much more than just access to contraception and abortion. Pro-choice should mean that it’s possible to choose to have children too, as in childcare and diapers and everything shouldn’t be so prohibitively expensive that only the top 10% earners should have the flexibility for a pregnancy to be a blessing and not a life-shattering burden. If conservatives want babies to be born, they’re going about it all wrong.

The cops didn’t approach somebody that they suspected of having shot up a building, citing safety concerns. The cops allowed a potentially violent domestic terrorist to continue to have the ability to carry out more attacks because that person was deemed to be too much of a threat to engage with. So if you crime violently enough in Phoenix, there are no consequences due to police cowardice? I mean, the only other way to read that is that the police are complicit if not downright supportive of attacks on the DNC office.

So which is it, police cowardice or police endorsement of domestic terrorism?

I’m pretty much always coming back to Rocket League with a couple of friends. We’re probably gonna get Space Marine 2 soon to play together too.

Paper Mario Thousand Year Door remake with my wife because she’s never seen it. We also started Dead Space. Right now our main obsession is passing the controller back and forth to play Dredge.

I also have a create a pro career I will play off and on in FC 24 and NHL 24 (both were included with PS+, don’t @ me lol).

Because of PS+, I’ll try a new game every few weeks. Some really keep my attention like Tunic and The Forgotten City did, and some get deleted almost immediately like Car Mechanic Simulator and Ride 5. I’m always trying something new.

Mexico is a nice time, and you can get good deals on all inclusive places. In general, Cancun is more about partying and Playa del Carmen is more about chilling and/or shopping. My wife and I have been to The Reef 28 in Playa del Carmen twice which is adults only and all inclusive with access to their sister resorts nearby and it was a great time. If you book through them directly you can get a bundle that includes flight and transportation to and from the Cancun airport, and they’ll work with you to get deals on snorkeling or whatever you wanna do. Just don’t pay for anything in the airport, they’re scams.

Most importantly, have the vacation that you want and have the time that you want. You can see the sights, do adventures, or loaf, and it’s your call what you want to do with your vacation.

Same. And I’m pretty sure it doesn’t take much more than trying to stop the broken world we inherited from breaking further and encouraging them to explore passions even when we don’t understand them. That’s the level of respect we yearned for and never got, so let’s just try to be who we wanted boomers and gen x to be and I think we’ll all be okay. Ideally we could fix what’s broken, but it always takes longer to clean up a mess than to make one. We just need to be willing to plant trees whose shades we’ll never enjoy.

My first thought when I saw this was that this looked like some Facebook boomer shitposting from like 10-15 years ago, but with kinda recent slang and image subbed in. I’m sure some gen x would unironically be all in on this, but it’s the small percentage of them that are basically just boomers who time traveled. They’re the same people who still like old westerns and rant about how nobody has common sense anymore, which if you think about for more than 5 seconds reveals that whatever they think is common sense must not be “common” sense at all, actually, and perhaps the current “common sense” is stuff that they never learned, like how to clear the cache for a phone app that’s acting up.

Brining the chicken including the eggs in the fridge and the other ones are the same as the first time. Jet fuel filter change complicates the ordeal, yet the only thing I need for it was to make sure they were not in there. Chickens and cows are the best for you and your entire family and friends with the best of us all inside the same world. Never attempt to be honest with the kids about the time you guys were able to get a new deboning done by Friday night and the other one was a little bit better than the yesterday. Salted butter and buttered salt are essentially the same thing as the other, but it’s not that long ago that burning up and being really hard on the couch could be a good day for the chicken bones or two and a half of the meat.

Bump for visibility! All should hear the good word!

The problem for me is that nothing populates unless I manually choose some starting words in my life and I don’t know what to do with it but I don’t think I can do it all day but I don’t know what to do with it but I don’t know what to do that I don’t think it is a good idea to get it to the house today but I don’t think it will be a good idea to get it done but I don’t think it is a good idea to get it to the house today but I don’t think it will be a good idea to get it to the house today but I don’t think it will be a good idea to get it to the house today.

Seems to have found a problematic loop for the first time in the world but I think I have a lot of work to do in the morning and I will be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the beach and get a little bit of the time to get it done but I don’t know what to do with it but I will be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today but I can get it to you tomorrow morning and I will be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today but I don’t think I can get it to you when I get home and I’ll be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today but I don’t think I can get it to you if you want to go to the house today but I don’t think it will be a good time to get it to you and I will be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today.

This shit sucks that I don’t think I have a lot of money to do it all the time but I don’t know what to do with it but I don’t know what to do with it but I don’t know what to do that I don’t think it will be a good idea to get it to the house today but I can do it all day and then I’ll be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today.

Terrible. Just terrible it was a good day for me to get a new job and I was just going to say I was going to be a little late but I don’t know if you want to go to the store or something else but I can do it all day long but I can get it to you when I get home and I’ll be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today.

I learned this method from my grandmother when I was a child, God rest her soul. I’ve tried with kerosene when I didn’t have jet fuel in my pantry, but it just wasn’t the same. Don’t even bother prepping the cow until you’ve verified your supply of jet fuel.
