    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    People who back into their parking spaces instead of pulling in forwards like a goddam normal human being. It doesnt inconvenience me. It doesnt impact me in the slightest. But still, fuck you. Why? Not "why fuck you", I'm explaining that. I mean "why do that?" Literally ever other driver in...

    Depression

    Absolutely true. But I'm not joking about that shitting thing. That is a higher priority than a new job or a new boyfriend or depression. I'd have even prioritized it over getting rid of the ex but thats already done now (and it sure sounds like for the best). I say this in a spirit of...

    Depression

    What? That should be treated like a medical emergency and prioritized over pretty much everything else until it's fixed.

    Weed Culture

    Since legalization I've never had an edible that delivered any effect whatsoever. Meanwhile back in high school we could make a batch of brownies with 90s dirtweed and get absolutely destroyed, I mean honestly it was too strong. I'm pretty sure they're just selling straight up gummy bears...

    Unlike most pages of this thread, these images show an actual object. I think its beyond criticism for that reason alone.

    Weight Loss Thread

    The article is specifically talking about a change to BMI that includes gut size. Your pic doesnt show any gut, so I'm not sure why you're arguing with the article. Yes, people who are taller than usual are one of the cases where the typical BMI calculation falls short. That doesnt change the...

    https://studyfinds.org/overnight-millions-more-americans-obesity-rate-belly-fat/ I support this change because 99% of the time when someone says "BMI is bullshit, it says I'm fat!" thats a fat person saying it. And 99% of the time they have a big gut but claim "theyre not fat, BMI is just...

    You're going to a McDonalds staffed by joggers and you think its a win just cause you get to maintain a little distance while placing your order? LMAO

    The day they decided "you need to install our software on your device to buy a burger" and the population happily agreed, was no shit one of the key events that opened my eyes to the reality of Clown World.

    Deathstalker (2025)

    No this is exactly my point. If a movie is promoted as softcore porn you wouldn't watch it with your parents or in laws or kids. Obviously. But what we're discussing is when a movie is promoted as adventure or action or whatever. And then you're sitting there watching it with your parents or...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Looks boring as shit. My question is: what fraction of superheroes do they need to make black and/or gay before its enough?

    I just wanna chime in here and remind you about these things called "rivers", "oceans", and "ponds". Pools are a more retarded distraction in this discussion than dads or body fat.

    Deathstalker (2025)

    I've always found it kind of weird to want to have lots of nudity in movies you're gonna watch with friends and or family. Nudity in porn, obviously, that goes without saying. But you don't "watch porn" with your friends or your son or your dad.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    There are 6 elevators. You get on one. The door is closing. A couple rushes toward you, they need to get in your elevator instead of any one of the other 5. The door is closing again. A party of 3 rushes in, they need to get in your elevator instead of any one of the other 5. The door is...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    I've apparently completely edited that out of my memory. I actually liked the movie so I'm not gonna go google pics and refresh my memory. The edited version is better.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    There has never been a watchable, worthwhile movie that featured a black "love interest" with a white protagonist. I can think of no exceptions to this iron law.

    No, thats exactly what beginners need. They need to learn, not watch some milf giggle and act cute while she cooks food-magazine-style recipes. I checked that video. Alton does a lot right in that video. The meat is seasoned all the way through, and then thoroughly mixed to get the right...

    His follow up post is good too. https://mikelovesrobots.substack.com/p/the-ai-shovelware-question-one-month I thought this comment just absolutely nailed it, why does AI "feel" so impressive but fall so short in practice? This, right here.

    I'm with you, the crust is the weak part of pot pie. Thats why I started making them with biscuits instead. Just put the filling in a backing dish, spoon biscuit dough on top, bake til the biscuits are done. I've never looked back.

    The modern internet is garbage made for illiterates. I wish the solution was less clunky.

    This is so true. Other cooking shows are like "let me show off how I cook! Aren't I cute/charming/sophisticated/whatever!" Alton is like "Listen - I'm gonna teach you how to cook."

    Depression

    One of the major problems we object to here in the US is that once someone is on SSRIs, the doctors basically never advise you to get off them. Oh if you ask them right out, yeah they'll agree its not a lifelong solution. But speaking from secondhand experience, they never actually suggest...

    Depression

    Drugs arent the answer and if you wanted to take drugs to make it better, holy shit there are a whole lot better drugs than antidepressants. I'm with Cutlery. I havent talked about it here but I had a rough patch bad enough that I actually sought professional help. Given my attitudes toward...

    I mean its perfectly normal for your inner dialogue to occasionally spill out and become audible. It sounds to me like thats what you're describing, and it happens to me too. What they're doing seems different. Deliberate. Performative. Theyre actually speaking to an invisible audience...

    American Primeval, the show where every single white man is a murdering psychopath but the Indians are all around nice guys? It certainly cranks the trope up to 11, if thats whats meant by "better"

    This, this is exactly the worst thing about the show. You could look past some of the other (major) flaws. You could watch it from a different perspective. But no, every other scene they have this inane babbling from some teenage chick who thinks she has deep thoughts to share. Then they added...
