I need to remember what I did here so when someone asks "how can you fuck up cheese?" I have a ready answer

apropos of nothing I just made the worst cheese sauce it was possible to make, nothing can save it. it is so bad. I haven't had a cooking fail that epic since I tried to make garlic fried rice when I was 16 and let the rice just soak in oil that wasn't hot enough while the pan warmed up

beef is a wash. american beef used to have an edge, but not these days, again, can't say why

I cordially loathed liver for approx. 49 years and then I moved to Germany and it turns out liver is pretty damn good if the animals in question aren't filled with whatever the hell it is they're feeding them in the US

the chicken and pork are better too. I don't know enuf abt farming to say why

Grasbrunn, DE in the winter. Snow covers the trees and bushes.

I will miss you, Bavaria

this post is not an endorsement of ronald reagan ofc. he lived an asshole and died an asshole. pleasant, congenial assholes are kind of a US specialty export. shit, I was one of them throughout my callow youth (by which I mean, my twenties)

state department officially simping for russia now. being a US citizen is so humiliating these days. can't wait until I can get out of it

on the plus side you can probably power a small city with the RPMs you could harness from ronald reagan rolling in his grave

this is the one drawback to wfh

I have the crippling coffee addiction AND it costs me $$

I am American, unfortunately, until I can buy my freedom. Yes, it costs money. $2350 USD to be specific. And I need citizenship somewhere else first.

But once I do those things, I can say I am no longer American. And I will do so proudly, and with some relief.

hi amy!

A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".

2026 basically

they thought the same thing about trump in 2016. at this point I'd be willing to put a lot of money down on stephen a smith as being the next dem nominee. the odds would be killer

This seems unlikely in my case 😂

That was a fantastic game

I approve of the strength of those hurricanes

I have no connection to the expanse universe but I will probably play this game anyway because owlcat puts out the best 2D isometric RPGs that it is possible to put out

I even enjoyed pathfinder kingmaker and I literally loathe the pathfinder system

Aftermath Bonus Blog: Diablo IV PC Cooled With Real Human Blood Is Still Going Strong Two Years Later, Says Guy Who Won It "This genuinely has been a life-changing experience"

well I don't get emails like this every day

well who won. don't leave us hanging

to be fair this is pretty much debating anyone ever for any reason

debate is a terrible way to change anyone's mind

figure as long as I'm insisting I'm so damn lucky I may as well make it manifest something for me

could be awhile, sure, but I like to search for things. it keeps me busy

listening to electropop music (freezepop, specifically) is inspiring me to double down on my request to the universe that my next relationship have a hopelessly romantic bent to it.

I'll wait.

("we don't have normal lives" is the specific trigger here)

I have a firm rule about "loaning" money to friends, which is you always get the first one you ask for and I never expect it back but I won't give you any more money unless you pay that one back

it has served me well over the years. my variant of the "tough but fair" strategy for prisoner's dilemma

Counselor: These feelings of "everything sucks," how long have you had them? Butt-head: Uhh, since everything started to suck, I guess.

Here it is, your moment of zen.

a friend of a friend is still scorchingly hot at 60

you got a long road ahead of you

we deserve it, I accept my penance on behalf of your many non-mutuals

blue fo'sho. as someone else said it could use the contrast

I would have taken that commercial flight back and left them stranded. Fuck her

Instant nostalgia for the US from this post

can't say she isn't acting like a typical newly-hired C-suite who is belatedly realizing that they know nothing of the thing they were hired to manage/oversee
