That post about donating to a charity reminds me I havent ranted about this issue in a while. Its getting worse. This "will you round up to donate to X". The correct answer is "No, I am not participating in your obvious tax fraud and I hope when the lawsuits catch up with you it bankrupts your...

One way streets. Every now and then I drive through a city whose designers had some sick fetish for one way streets, and my need to commit genocide rises a little bit higher. Whatever issue you were attempting to solve with one way streets, any other solution would be better and no solution...

No. That is exactly how the timeline played out the first time. Why would you be OK with repeating it after watching where it leads? They didnt start out by casting oogabooga tribesmen straight out of the mud hut. They started out with the Hallie Berrys. No. Step number 1 for any casting...

Yeah its funny I went through exactly that series of reactions - "this would actually be a better ending than I was expecting" "wait this used to be considered a total copout and shitty way to end a series"

Yeah. I mean even if you're fully asexual, having a conversation with a girl is "torture"? Date, don't date, fuck, don't fuck, whatever. But having a conversation over dinner isnt "torture" and if it seems that way to you, this is a bigger issue that should be addressed.

Ep 1 not bad, very Yellowstone. I continue to question whether making a show around Beth was a good idea. They didn't follow up Breaking Bad with Skylar: The Show. I don't think they have the balls to make her realize that being a giant bitch to everyone isnt actually a good way to live your...

It is still the worst thing on the menu, and thats a big statement for a place that serves a fucking fish sandwich (OK this statement is not really fair because obviously I have never ordered the fucking fish sandwich) I mean its bland fucking lunchmeat, kind of warmed up, slopped on a bun...

This is correct and also even once people realize it they still won't stop. The perspective from the outside is fuckin wild.

Oh for actual fucks sakes. No. What compels people to pretend this? Whats the payoff?

Do you dispute that such a category exists? Whats the end game here?

Fair, I'll admit I'm not super familiar with BP meds and was arguing the more general case. If the facts are as you describe, then BP meds go in the same category as Ozempic and I think people should view their side effects differently than lifesaving meds without alternatives.

Absolutely, but the difference is there are 100% effective treatments for obesity with zero negative side effects. With medical treatments its always about comparing the new treatment versus whats already available. Putting down the chips was already available, so its reasonable that people...

I don't get the contradiction. You take BP meds to save your life, and there arent any real non-medication alternatives. People take Ozempic to make their double chin go away, when they could just stop snacking instead. I think its perfectly reasonable to view side effects differently in...

I wanted to see this right after WandaVision, but man that plot summary isnt doing them any favors.
