Seriously, a really popular show out now is Bob’s Burgers, about a family who owns a burger restaurant and he absolutely loves making great burgers. And they’re white.

The idea is if it’s a small, family run restaurant, there’s a good chance those recipes are family recipes. So it’s gonna be good.

Also, I understood the homework thing to be about his age , not about his race. I might be wrong, though.

Ahead of their time.

Oh, I had understood that to mean lay down facedown (with your back to it) since people usually have backpacks while hiking/hunting, and it provides some measure of protection.

Your lack of clarity was not their fault in reading. Your follow-up (10-20 min, if that) could have been your initial response and actually answered their question. There’s no need to be rude to them for you answering a question they didn’t ask.

I wouldn’t pin this particular thing on Trump. This war has been going on awhile.

That journalist was doing their very best to let him off the hook and move on. That wasn’t even a gotcha situation, he even conceded that the tattoos could be interpretted as MS-13 bit that he was no expert, and tried to move on. But Trump wouldn’t let it go, and kept trying to pull it back to “it wasn’t photoshop, he actually had the MS13 tattooed in print on his knuckles” and openly said that the journalist should just say yes and accept it before he’d move on. Jesus.

Soldiers arresting people is martial law. It’s law… enforced by the military…

The reason we react strongly to it is because soldiers should not be enforcing law within civilian spaces. And just naming an area a non-civilian space is just a loophole to have martial law.

I wonder if the director told that actor “have, just, the worst trigger discipline. Make it look like you have no business handling a firearm.”

Are we talking the crank-style can opener, or even the hook-type knife that some multi-tools have? Because the hook-type knife seems like a no-brainer that should have been figured out months after tin cans, not decades.

Because bad at his job and says controversial things is subjective, but being an alcoholic in charge of the military, where being an alcoholic gets you kicked out (if discovered), should be disqualifying. It is what should be a common ground view across the political spectrum. If you’re constantly drunk and drink at work, you are not fit to be in charge of the military.

It seems pretty obvious: if you can’t sign a legally binding contract, you can’t sign a marriage contract.

You lost me at “not tired enough to sleep.”

Well, time to go take a nap!

People are responding as if that question makes sense.

What the hell does that mean? I can’t fathom what that is supposed to be asking. Are we at the talking stage? The talking stage of what? Of the Thomas Kilmann conflict resolution strategy? Is this where we start de-escalation? What is happening?

If you wouldn’t strike up a conversation with a guy, don’t strike up a conversation with a woman. Be comfortable with conversations with strangers of whatever gender with no ulterior motive, and you’ll meet more people.

If you meet more people, your likelihood of finding dates will increase as a side effect.

If you are only approaching women, particularly women you find attractive, in places that are not generally for that purpose (bars, parties, swingers clubs), then you’re being a creep.

But regardless, it’s better to have interests, pursue those interests, and meet people with similar interests. Because when you have interests, you might become interesting, and someone might become interested.

It’d be sweeter if I had a house and could arrange a spot to do it reliably.

My wife and I are buying a house, and one of the main things she’s planning is The Unkindness Sanctuary, since there are a ton of ravens in our area.

She also named the raven that regularly came to our front door “Hugin,” so I dig your crow bros name.

I am not vegan or vegetarian, but I still prefer Impossible burgers (and Impossible chicken patties) and Beyond Steak bites. Not only does it at least significantly reduce my meat consumption, it is generally better than the real meat, since it doesn’t have any weird bits and is lower in bad cholesterol. Also, it makes it so the meat I do eat can be sourced more ethically (buying direct from the rancher, hunting and fishing my own for subsistence, getting free range eggs especially from locals) instead of getting the final product and just ignoring what torture went into it.

I prefer root canals as a comparison.

Some people don’t brush their teeth well or often, or eat a bunch of sweets, and need root canals. It may be that they could have taken action to prevent it by exercising good oral hygeine, but they aren’t out there getting root canals for fun.

And then some people have a genetic predisposition to cavities and tooth decay, and even with good oral hygiene they still might end up requiring a root canal. And some people end up having an injury that results in a root canal, completely outside of their control.

But nobody is out there getting “recreational” root canals. The idea is stupid. And absolutely nobody is trying to restrict access to root canals because some people don’t brush well, or gasp had more than one root canal. Because root canals, though not the preferred choice, are a necessary part of dental care.

I think it’s worth pointing out their name. It might just be a novelty/troll account, so I wouldn’t get too into an argument with them.

This is an extremely specific situation in a game, but…

In World of Warcraft, back in the day, there was a dungeon in Outland, I believe it was Helfire Citadel. It wasn’t particularly hard, but if you died, you were screwed. The way dungeon deaths worked was your spirit would spawn in a graveyard out in the regular world, and you would have to run your spirit ass back to the dungeon entrance to respawn. But finding the entrance to Helfire Citadel was so difficult I told the group if they don’t rez me, they’d have to just kick me, because I’d never make it back in. It was awful.

Short answer: work less.

Long answer: I actually enjoy my job, and have for a long time. If I had won several million long ago I would have kept my job because it (most of the time) was very fulfilling and important, though it has largely wrecked my body.

Now I can’t fly anymore, so while my job is still important and fulfilling, it’s not nearly as exciting, and I am constantly crazy busy, so I’d love to cut my hours about in half, probably. I’d still want to work.

Oh, and I’d build a forge in my backyard. So maybe work the same amount, but some of my time crafting things.
