Screw round 2. I'm eagerly awaiting round 3 when we find out that the US Government has been classifying photographs of every cloud that somebody said looked like a bunny or Godzilla.

On today's episode of "Lets Avoid The Obvious Answer": https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2026/05/20/how-relieve-back-pain-sitting/ The article gives exactly five (5) recommendations for reducing back pain caused by sitting too much. Do you think one of those recommendations would be...

I've used nokia flip phones for the last 20+ years and never had it happen. I abuse the shit out of these phones. One fell in the toilet (yes). One fell in saltwater. I drop them almost daily. I've never managed to make one stop working. I believe you that its happened but I'm just really...

People that don't understand the difference between "this room is too hot/cold" and "I'm too hot/cold". Especially common in perimenopausal women. Extra hilarious if they're rapidly moving their arm back and forth to "fan" themselves, thus generating extra body heat in the process, while...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2026/05/20/harvard-faculty-vote-limit-grades-undergraduates/ This is sincerely a good move for higher education. And having Harvard lead the way is a good thing, the wannabe Ivys will follow suit and it will trickle down. One thing about the article is...

What is your mom doing with her phone? Mine have always been indestructable. I keep them for years, a decade sometimes, until a network upgrade forces me to get a new flip phone that is similarly indestructable. Once could be a fluke. If its happened more than once, IMO you should investigate...

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.

I have to admit I totally didn't know he was in the book. You got me, good catch.

I had to look this up cause I had never heard of it. LMAO, the Wiki is hilarious. Its like listening to David Attenborough narrate a documentary about oogabooga tribesmen, trying to sound all intellectual like they have a valid culture. This shit is like its own category of humor, I can't find...

I was foolishly optimistic when I saw that they'd cast ordinary American people to play the Ingles. Then black doctor, LMAO. Yeah, a black doctor on the fucking prairie in the fucking 1800s. LHOTP always had a subtext about sympathy for injuns. Their presence alone in the trailer isnt enough...

There is nothing spoiled or unusual about this. Public transportation is literally hell, and the fact that people manage to survive it is a mindblowing testament to how adaptable the human brain is. Like stockholm syndrome. The brain will just take fucking anything you've experienced for long...

This is great. Gen Z continues to give me hope. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/style/hacky-sack-gen-z.html

For sure, although depending on the location it may easily be another "there isnt a number large enough" situation.

Like usual I can't tell if we're having a language issue. Are you saying that movie was bad because of Ashton Kutcher's casting? It was super boring but are you really saying it was because of him? What, his "acting ability" wasnt up to it?

Fair, maybe thats what he means. I can't agree with it either. Casting is useful because you get to see the casting before you spend money or time on the movie. Not sure how "it works out in the end" if you have to see the movie to get the full picture of why its shitty.

Wat? Is this a language barrier issue or an anal sex joke that I'm just not getting?

I'm trying to imagine a salary large enough to make this worth it. I can't comprehend any number that large. You made the obvious right choice

Exactly. Imagine being so demoralized you defend your brainwashers actions on the internet. That is something truly special. Its almost enough to make you respect the skill of the demoralizers.

I know this opinion will be unpopular in this thread. So now we have another, what thousand videos showing no convincing evidence theres even an object on the video. And a bunch of letters from high school kids asking NASA to please tell us about UFOs. Obviously the files released are not news...

Yeah we were nervous, it was like 11.5 months at harvest and most people say you need to be 10 or under. Our processor swears he's harvest 5 *year* old Katahdin rams without any gamy taste. A neighbor who processes all his own swears it more about getting it chilled quick than age. I'll admit...

Your edit is wrong. The internet was fine when it was a bunch of white guys typing on desktop computers. Not fine, it was fuckin great. The internet itself isnt the problem.

So we processed our first lambs for meat this year. We've been raising sheep (Katahdin hair sheep, a meat breed) for years but this was the first year we had extra ram lambs. So we fattened them up and had them processed. I'll be honest - despite being a pretentious foody I've barely eaten any...

Realtors and Prositutes are the only two professions where a woman shows her picture as the primary advertisement for her services This is not a coincedence or accident Yes this meme was written from a realtor perspective but at least it acknowledges the obvious truth about where realtors go...

Swap Charlize and Zendeya roles. Change that african chick to be like one of the cyclops minions or something. Or like a nobody slave in Troy. That could work.

Maybe its something about the order you watched them in. Wasnt supernatural first by a long time? Supernatural was great in early seasons, mid to later seasons got stupid. Grimm was ok but always seemed like kind of a cheesy intentionally silly take on the genre.

Carnitas is great stuff. And pork is so cheap, we should all eat a bunch of carnitas. When we started raising pigs is when I got into it. I had these big cuts of pork where I was like WTF do I do with this? And instapot carnitas was the answer. Your slow braise may be even better, it sure...
