Marinate the Pringles in the Mtn Dew overnight. Drain the excess Mtn Dew into a bowl and set aside, do not discard. Bring oven to 375F/190C, allow it to preheat. Place marinated Pringles onto cookie sheet, do not stack, and leave enough space between crisps so that they do not touch. Use a spoon or spatula to avoid tearing. Place in preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip, and cook an additional 3 minutes. Sprinkle with Mtn Dew drainage and allow to roast for an additional 3 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. In the mean time, place any remaining drainage into a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Allow Mtn Dew drainage to reduce, until it just barely sticks to a wooden toothpick. Remove from heat, pour over cooling crisps. Spray with canned cheese or sprinkle with Cool Ranch Doritos dust if going for a more fancy ambiance.

I’m sorry to make this a gendered thing, but I think way more men need to hear this message from society in general.

At least in my part of the world, most of these things would not even raise an eye brow if a grown adult woman was doing it.

However, after a certain age, men partaking in these things outside of the context of doing them with their children/grandchildren is very strongly looked down upon. Men are allowed to be overgrown children if it’s in the context of “expensive toys for adults” like a hobby car or hunting equipment. Even playing video games is considered questionable in some crowds. Glitter pens and plush animals? For men, that’s just way too far outside of what’s considered normal and acceptable. But I agree, it shouldn’t be. If it brings you joy and it’s not hurting anybody else, why the need to be shamed by society for it?

Is a person capable of anxiety if they’re missing a fifth of the oxygen they’re supposed to have?

Yes. Based on seeing a family member in that predicament, I’d say they’re capable of extreme anxiety at those levels.

A kilogram of piss is about a liter, give or take.

Last year I found a streaming app that had the 1980s Garfield cartoon running, and I ended up getting back into that for a while.

I found it to be a fascinating glimpse into those times. Like all of the pop culture references were obviously quite dated, but 40 years later and a lot of them still stand on their own. The comedy style was a snapshot of the zeitgeist from the era, surely not novel at the time, but a reflection of the time. It’s interesting to see how much of that comedy style has carried forward and even evolved over the decades. Sarcasm, featured heavily. Self-deprecation. Almost surreal absurdity. Did Garfield shape the comedy world as much as the comedy world shaped it?

Oh yeah, and I definitely turned out gay. But I guarantee you it wasn’t the 10/10 hotties that John Arbuckle was pulling or anything related to Garfield himself. It was entirely Nermal. Grew up living my entire life thinking Nermal was a girl, only to realize that in my recent re-watch that Nermal’s pronouns are he/him. These woke ass shows have been woking kids up since the dawn of time.

That’s not true, the second one down from the top is a sure fire way to steal my heart. Big fuzzy bellies are kinda my thang.

To be honest, there’s a big part of me that wishes I could have just woken up from a coma that I entered in 1989. How different would my life be right now and how righteous would my mullet be?

Mmmmm, butterfingers are my fave.

You can tell the right believes she’s actually a woman because they’re blaming her for the actions of a man.

On the one hand, YES YES YES.

On the other hand, it’s so much more than that. SO many people were painting this as trans motivated violence BEFORE there was even a credible suspect in custody. Literally even before they found out he was dead, there were large numbers of people online saying this was due pro-trans terrorism.

I do not believe any of the rest of those points will mean a thing to the average MAGA conservative, based on my experience. In the most literal sense possible, most absolutely do not understand the difference between a trans person and drag queens. They honestly and fully believe that trans people are perverts patrolling public bathrooms to rape women and children. Trans-men practically do not exist, nor do intersex, nor any other atypical physical, genetic, gender, or sex presentation.

But if I expose my genitals in public I’ll end up in jail or worse, and either way, nobody else is going to do the same, until I get to jail, and then it’s not the people I would hope for.

DUNKLE means black like my soul and the typeface in my LaTeX presentation.

I’ll buy that for a dollar.

In some ways, figures like Darwin and Attenborough are my heroes, so it’s nice to see that these men are human and share similar distastes for fucked up shit as me.

Also, being in America and realizing the invasive little shits everyone generically refers to as “bees” are invasive species that precipitate the decline of native species changes people.

You can’t tell me what I can or can’t grow in my own gutters.

I don’t think dinosaurs were taking x-rays of beaver tails, my dude. Go read a book sometime.

A dog’s ears choose what to hear.

Today I learned I might be an axolotl with siblings because my grocery bill is costing me an arm and a leg.
