I mostly just reply to stuff with piss-takes —frequently a fool. He/Him, all opinions expressed are quite possibly poorly thought out.

That one Brennan video about New York from the college humor days shall reign forever.

I’ve heard that the scran at Timbers games can be dangerously addictive, maybe it’s something like that with Seahawks games?

I’ll never be able to rewatch Bucky O’Hare without mentally swapping the ship name out now, ty!

Tom BombigNaturals went over a *treat* with my irl friends, so there’s always hope.

Yeah, there are folks who still won’t visit PDX who… live in Oregon.
That shit is weird.
I do need to visit LA at some point myself in any case.
Having tasted Korean-Mexican fusion I feel a strong urge to make that pilgrimage.

Although I really want them to implement my suggestion of “all starter packs should secretly also make you follow Jerry”.

I’m imagining the text that pops up if someone taps on the check mark “yes, that’s Jerry. You have been warned.”

It’s really fun to go to Forest Park and see how different it is during the dry season, even if spring is my favorite time for that, just like how fall is my favorite season for Tryon Creek.

Give it a month and part of the state might catch fire as well =\
At least it’s a dry heat?

My aunt an uncle were always furious about the water situation on schools they taught in, but once the air quality stuff came up they became absolutely incandescent, especially since now they finally knew why some classrooms were just “worse” than others.

And those systems getting improved would have had massive outcomes on learning outcomes in the years to come, too! Like, even without Covid we’d benefit from doing it, and this was a window of time where the schools weren’t in use for more than just 3 months!

Klingon culture is not your costume, Smantha. You gotta at least learn the language.
comment in response to

Okay, that I can down with. There’s not enough people wearing purple out there and any outfit that lets you incorporate a goggles and air filtration seems pretty fit for purpose.
comment in response to

I dunno, aren’t those outfits kinda Klingon cultural appropriation?

The problem with cold brew is that the right time to make itusually exhausting (that is to say I vote cold brew).

That’s gotta be the most lovingly sincere compliment I’ve seen this week, honestly.

Damn girl, are you an hourglass? Because… look, I couldn’t come up with anything after that.
Honestly you mostly look like what I think the powerpuff girls would look like as adults?

This is sounding like a Faine/Giulia complaint about New England. Oof, I’m sorry.
As a little hippy kid a good salad option that will give me arugula (I grew up grazing on dandelion greens and if you like those then arugula is heaven) is a big dub, tho.

But has it gone to the Supreme Court?
Fine, fine. I’ll check the NPR stuff out while we still have an NPR <3

Yeah, my family who lives in Maryland always inhales pizza when they come here to Oregon whereas my cousins who moved to New York or Jersey take “look, I’ll just make some dough tonight and we’ll have pizza tomorrow” take on things.

Although in the winter I want like collared greens instead which is a lot harder to obtain in Oregon without cooking them up yourself.
comment in response to
post
I’ve got to say that pizza places seem like the very best option for take-out (or delivery) salads out there, which is kinda a niche thing but like… sometimes one just wants buy a decent salad and eat it on the sofa.

Oh holy shit what if we get a 3rd amendment case out of this?!
I’m not thrilled about living in unprecedented history, but that would certainly be an unprecedented historical event.

And doing things directly for people with state capacity makes it easier to protect and expand those services. People seeing the state doing things for them directly causes a positive feedback loop, etc

We do seem to think it’s legal if you’re driving a car, but your point is still a rock solid one.

I wish that had been drummed into me 15 years ago.
It’s just so correct. Going to sleep is a core part of survival and it makes me happy to see it being prescribed.

If you know anyone who will share their AppelTV+ logins with you once you have time to stop and breath (I promise that you have people who will share their appletv+ logins with you) you’re in for a treat; all can wait until you’ve had some You time.
comment in response to

So what I’m hearing is you don’t have time to stop and breath which is relatable.
You got this, and there’ll be time for you down the line.

The new Mumbleblep is so good! Watch that first tomorrow!
comment in response to

Although my wife and I like to call the show “mumble blep” just to differentiate from the books (and also because we are kinda/sorta weird children even in our old age)

You watched the new Murdbot before bed at least, right?

Tessi, it’s less important but please watch Christian Slater’s Pump Up the Volume if you haven’t already.

Wellc everybody knows that the war is over, and everybody knows that the good guys lost.

“Authority figures will accept that they are wrong, apologize, and change their behavior” is a toxic AF thing to teach to little kids.

My parents took positive parenting/walford shit to *levels*, so “think about what you’ve done and explain what you did wrong” is acid-etched into my soul
Although the two times I was able to explain they were wrong and I was right (and then they accepted it and apologized) prolly fucked me up more?

It always felt bad even before I understood what it was.
On the other hand I got trained HARD to respond to “I’m not mad I’m just disappointed” as a form of love so my worldview is WARPED af.

And also a secret police/only pseudo–judicial group demanding that complaints stop is just weird secret police shit?
Combined with them refusing Democrats who tried to exercise their oversight powers entry it reeks of even more fuckery and attempts to sidestep oversight.

L this probably goes without pick the compliments *you* would want to hear of what you were her. Doing that will make “I think you’ll be a good fit here” also mean a bajilion times more (unless you’re wrong about her in which case hey, you both dodged a bullet and also that possibility is unlikely?)

I love them so much!
And hey, that spreads to anything any of them are in — Yay November! Yay Liam! (Rocz I respect that you only do the one podcast, Yay Rocz too!) — but WTYP and Technology Connections reliably Stir Things in people on a whole other level?

Not to give the True Crime peeps ideas but… if you have the evidence to look at, why not content warn and also add them in? It’s sometimes just Strictly Better!
