Love the culture series! Communism… In space!!! Though I’d say to anyone who hasn’t read them yet to skip the first and come back to it. It’s a great novel, but it smells like the 80’s. Was my first read in the series and it turned me off to the rest of them until years later when I have the series another chance

It’s a balancing act with no clear one size answer. Can’t fix stupid, nor can you teach wisdom. There’s definitely situations where I’d want someone older in charge, cooler heads and all that.

I think when you see a rigid seniority system in place, it’s usually a stand in for a more equitable solution. Sometimes the argument over who gets precedent isn’t worth the trouble, and it’s easier to just say fuck it and go by seniority. Less fair than some methods, fairer than a lot though too.

Rice vinegar makes a great condiment. It’s much sweeter and less pungent than most other vinegars. If you’re making a sandwich right, it’s half salad. Dress those greens with some rice vinegar!

Slice up some cucumber, some onion, dress it in rice vinegar and stick it in the fridge overnight. Great on salad, on toast, anything really. I’ve even diced it up good into a relish and put it(cold) on pizza.

I’ve still got an account. But I jumped over during the API debacle. I’m sure if I stayed I would have been banned for commenting on the Luigi situation, or calling Musk and Trump out for the dimwitted little Nazi fucks they are.

But I’m here! A proud little lemming just feeling blessed AF to be here with all you nerds!

Get this man an IPO and a PR firm immediately!!!

People are gonna judge you on a lot dumber shit than that. Do you.

Granting forgiveness isn’t about them, it’s about you letting go of the hurt. It doesn’t mean things necessarily just go back to the way they were, it means things can move onto the next thing. It’s about taking that weight off your soul.

I see a lot of people letting their trauma define them. Let the shit drop and grow flowers. Easier said than done, but I think it’s still easier than not doing it.

Imma huff gorilla glue in memoriam

As for boxing and wrestling in particular I have no idea. But I’d just point out wearing a well fitting suit of fine clothes is its own reward. Even if you just get thrift store hand me downs, tailoring is surprisingly affordable. Few things feel as good as a well cut suit!

Edit: Lol everyone hating on a tux!?!?

The light of the world went with Hambre. RIP

Drink a few glasses and wait. Your digestive system has the answers you need! Lol sry idk.

I would love this. Unfortunately I’m too lazy and incompetent to pull it off.

A great Celtic banger I’ve recently discovered. Also this one by Rose betts is great!

Seems like people in this thread might appreciate both those.

Remember when is the lowest form of conversion!

This. How many of your childhood friends survived to adulthood? How many famines have you lived through? Have you ever received modern medicine? Do you know anyone who’s shit themselves to death (a surprisingly common cause of death back when)? Are you literate?

I’ll not try and tell anyone things are peachy, because they’re clearly not. But a lot of things are so so so much better than they used to be. Most of us lead lives that would make Pharos of old green with envy.

Sorta.

Thiccc yogurt club!

Also something something your mama likes thick yogurt. There’s a good one there somewhere…

Honestly I’m on board with the no phones TVs or kids in pubs. My favorite bars all have zero TVs.

Alright. I looked up what you’re talking about. I believe your referencing the song Miracles. Which is wholesome AF and an absolute banger. 10/10. No notes

I worked with some people from Chile once, and they ALL loved rush. there was like 30 of them, they had in common where they came from, and rush. Like it’s a thing. Even the ones whose English was so-so knew every word to every song. I miss jamming with em. Fucking epic air drums!
