Aw cmon. I used to enjoy flying in those because they were comfy (at least in the config for the airline I used to fly). Only airbus and embraer from now on I guess.

Except who cares. I don't fly for work anymore, and I can barely afford to go back home and visit family. I'm not going to spend a bunch more money because the airline that's cheap uses boeing.

My first thought was that. Many smaller board game makers are doing well with cooperative games, and it sounds like an easy way to do that with an established brand. Cooperative scrabble sounds like a lot of fun to me.

Welcome to dialectics. Now let's start with Heraclitus all the way to Hegel.

If Demolition Man could foresee it, then it was bound to happen in a different time line.

And if it hadn't come out that he had sexually harassed his maid into a relationship, he would've found a way to run for president.

This is like the family from arrested development if they were even worse people.

cooking the pasta in the kettle and then pouring it out to serve

My poor coffee setup would die on the spot if I ever did that. Kettle is for filtered water only

I think it's really nice to be proud and happy about your food heritage, but being so protective and honestly actively hostile to anything that's not "your thing", it's just background fash brainworms.

It's really one of the very few things they get any international recognition and whatever approximates national pride over there. I get caring a lot about food, I do it for a living, but they're really weird about it.

It's a whole nation with a huge inferiority complex.

Witcher 1 had Geralt collecting tradings cards of women he slept with in provocative poses. Like you sleep with them, it fades to black, then the trading card fills up the screen.

I still remember the first time I accidentally found out this happens. Really turned me off the (already pretty bad and clunky) game. I only finished it because I wanted to see where the story goes.

 

Pretty good analysis of the movie, a couple months too late. K&S with another banger.

Hey y'all, TrashcanOfIdeology formally introducing myself.

I picked the username right after watching the pervert's guide to ideology and before zizek started having a string of bad to worse, to awful, takes.

I've been around since the time the subreddit got banned, and this community has really been amazing in so many ways. For example, I don't think I would've had the information, support, and felt as confident to realize I am/come out as nb had it not been for y'all. So, thanks!

A little bit about me:

  • From the Global South, immigrated to an imperial core nation for a variety of reasons.
  • I'm very, very into food. Almost obsessively so. Not only the act of cooking itself or the growing/preparation of ingredients (i love those, too), but the social, ecological, environmental, and philosophical questions around food, taste, and gastronomic culture and justice. I worked in professional kitchens on and off for several years, did a masters on food and anthropology, and since covid began I have been lucky to make a modest living as a food scholar and supporting food activists. I'll talk your ear off about any of that kind of stuff, so if y'all wanna talk food i'm your person.
  • I love dogs, and will likely adopt a lil' puppy sometime soon. As soon as they come to my place, i'll introduce them to you :)

Great to make your acquaintance deng-cowboy

 
 

As i'm going up in deadlifting weight, i find my grip gives way earlier than any other part of my body, making me lose reps because the bar feels like it's slipping off my fingers. I tried incorporating hook grip into the exercise, and while the bar felt a bit more secure, I felt my middle finger was rubbing against my thumb nail and making it feel like it was pulling it out, and causing a bunch of pain, and no matter what I tried it always came down to that when the bar left the ground.

Any advice?
