I’ve been getting a booster shot every year and last year had me sick for 3 Days running a fever.

I got so delirious that apropos of nothing I had a hallucination of Dante’s inferno and was carried all the way to the base of the mountain that leads to salvation and was told that I have to overcome my seven deadly sins in order to be allowed to take the first step onto the mountain.

Why are they naming covid variants like they’re video game consoles or 1980s IBM knockoff PCS?

Yo dude, I got the new xec covid! Which one do you have?

Oh man, I only have the Corona Omicron…

You can definitely empty them and put them back, you just have to replace them when they tear otherwise all it’s going to do is suck the dust up off your floor and blow it around inside your vacuum, contaminate your vacuum fan and motor and eventually render the vacuum cleaner inoperable and possibly flammable.

There is a treatment for that that involves like baking soda and aluminum foil and UV light. I think it’s called retrobrite. Might be worth looking into but at the same time if you’re going to do that you might have other repairs you would need to make on the machine.

The house I grew up in.

I’ve told this story before but the house was built in like 1976. A freak tornado came down and tore it down when it was 3/4 completed. The builders got the insurance and built it again and when they finished it it caught fire and burned to the ground.

The builders got the insurance and built it again and another tornado came through and destroyed it a week before it was supposed to be completed.

In pythonian fashion the fourth time it stayed up, but one night I was down in the basement doing laundry on a dark and stormy night and I saw a movement to my right. A man in a full trench coat and wide brimmed hat was standing next to the water heater. I screamed as any preteen boy would and the man walked around the water heater and dis a fucking peared.

I ran upstairs screaming there’s a man in the basement there’s a man in the basement and everyone came down to look and there was no man in the basement. The doors were bolted locked from the inside.

A few years later my mom built a room into the basement and turned it into an extra bedroom. My sister woke up one night with a woman clad in all white with long black hair holding her feet down and crying and crying and crying.

She screamed and the woman disappeared.

My mom still lives in that house and will probably die there. That house is fucking haunted and was haunted before it was ever built.

I’ve told this story before and my friends have said maybe it was built on an ancient Indian ground or something and to me that is hilarious because I am native American so why the fuck would they bother me?

I think another thing that adds to it is a little bit of soy sauce, but if soy sauce is too strong or too salty for you I can also highly recommend liquid aminos. That stuff is amazing

Hey, give her a break. She’s making the best of her terribly botched nose job surgery.

You know what’s not a good thing? Capitalizing every word in a sentence. The rules are first word, proper nouns, and the word I.

If this is how I find out I need to update my jellyfin I’m going to be sad

My point is proved.

Like I said, some people love nothing more than to reframe whatever you are saying or whatever you are doing in the worst possible light for no reason other than to make you feel bad.

If only one religion is right, then the God of that religion is either evil or an asshole or not all knowing and all powerful.

If you think about it, and all knowing all powerful God that allows a gigantic portion of his beloved children to live in complete and total ignorance for their entire lives without even the chance of ever knowing the truth would be a terrible asshole at best, and that’s only assuming that he doesn’t throw everyone that doesn’t get the truth he didn’t give them into hell forever.

Of course that only covers the abrahamic religions. I feel like Zoroastrianism would probably still be okay because as little of it as I understand it seems to be more like the world is a stage where a chess game is being played and each piece moves as it will and the battling deities over watching the game can only make so many moves each to keep it fair.

Buddhism can’t really complain about it other than that it sucks that we’re all currently stuck in hell and having to live tens of thousands of lives until we’re allowed to get out, seems like more people should make it out as time goes by.

Either way though, if there is one true religion it would be amazing if the god of that religion would occasionally pop onto the planet and remind everybody that they exist, maybe give us the bread and circuses show to catch us back up, maybe throw out a couple of worldwide hey I forgive everybody’s and then pop back off just to remind us.

A thousand years without a reappearance of the God of all gods is a long time to keep the torch burning.

From what I understand they are still affordable, the cost savings is building it yourself and having the discipline and patience to be able to do something like that on your wages.

Building a tiny home is a grueling and arduous task. There is nothing TurnKey about it.

My cousin built one because his mom lent him some land to build it on and so far it has cost him about $10,000.

That’s pretty good but he lives on a truck driver’s salary and he has a wife and a kid. He’s deeply in debt from his tiny house project and he’s almost done with it.

Once he finishes he’ll be able to claw his way back up out of debt, which is good, but there are no TurnKey solutions that are also affordable.

I get where you’re coming from but in my ideal world we would all work gig jobs and they would provide us enough money to live at the very least at our current lifestyle.

The 40-hour work week is a lie. It’s not needed anymore, and anyone who sits down for 4 hours and analyzes our current economic system would probably agree with me.

You have gotten up onto a high horse about how I am flawed and wrong before checking whether I was on your side.

Besides, the point you are making, while it has its merits, only touches on my point. My point is enjoy what you like. If you like overnight oats just go ahead and eat them.

It doesn’t mean you’re a “peasant eating gruel”. It’s okay to like what you like.

I feel like the divide is between people who attempt to find things out for themselves and the people who rely on external sources to foist information upon them.

Sounds like Kyle Gass didn’t get his birthday wish. :(

Some people get a kick out of making you feel bad about anything and everything you enjoy by reframing it in the worst possible light.

Oh, you bicycle to work? Enjoy breathing in all that carbon monoxide from the cars passing you and a greatly increased risk of dying due to a driver not thinking that you’re a human being. Hope you don’t cross a street and inconvenience a driver you selfish prick!

Oh, you eat primarily vegetarian with only a little bit of meat? One, meat is still murder, you’re a prick. Two, of course you would mention it. Three, fuck you and your entire family and your entire gene pool you piece of shit.

I could probably keep going but you get it right? Don’t let the things that you enjoy be taken away from you by people who are chasing clout and will say anything that they possibly can in order to get it.

Exactly. Microsoft never does anything that isn’t in their own financial interest.

Even if other people benefit from it, it really is all about ensuring that they have profit growth year after year.

So I can’t trust anything that they ever do and nobody else who cares about freedom in technology should either.

When sauteeing onions and mushrooms, when they’re almost done, pour a little red wine into the pan and boil it out. Makes them amazing.

You got to give us some context my dude. Why is funk whale not recommended by you?
