Same thing... ycchhh - i don't know. locking people up, torturing and then killing them en masse is definitely a zenith of human awfulness - i don't want to go to the concentration camp level of pure evil comparison- that should be reserved. people can pull themselves out of ghetto. many triumphant stories of people rising out of oppression in american inner city ghettos and turning their experiences into success though it is also a machine of mass misery. just not a machine of mass genocide. just wish there was a lighter touch here but then you see the recent video of regular friendly traffic cop in new mexico getting gunned down with an ar15 by drug dealer and you understand why cops are on edge when they have a traffic stop with the country armed to the tooth with semiautomatic weapons.

$20 on joe vs dan Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) A target of constant disdain most of my life: Turkey bacon and veggie burgers I have succumbed and embraced them both. The turkey bacon is more palatable when considering them to be like spam and not bacon...a little bit of guilt-free salty w/ my eggs in the morning goes a long way. [my new "line" in the sand is fat-free or diet Ice cream...at that point just shoot me] Edited April 12, 2021 by $20 on joe vs dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did buy a bag of the Kettle Krinkle chips yesterday when I was up in Lincoln Park. Also debunking @$20 on joe vs dan 's claim about the Doritos, the big bag is on sale here for $3.79. And to stay on topic, avoid the Lincoln Park (or probably any) Costco on a Sunday, place is a madhouse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is I can eat a whole bag of the Crinkle cut and feel fine, but a handful of Cape Cod and you would not want to be around me for a few hours after. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redghostx Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Google fit makes it impossible to reach my "goals". According to the app, I take a 2m per step stride based on 500 steps per km. This means I should be an NBA center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of going postal...I had avoided going to the post office for drop offs for almost a year. Then one day, my Blink camera caught the postal lady picking up my packages from the front door while muttering "******* go to the post office, *****!" Made me laugh and feel bad, lol. Back in the habit of going to the post office now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what you are remembering is a time when people were free to find humor in the face of horror (without the fear of being labeled being hateful, insensitive, and in need of being canceled).

I wonder what Don Rickles would say about today's culture. Until things change we won't see something like below ever again. You really have to watch to the end when he says something nice. That is sadly rarely heard today either. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite comedy clips of all time addressing this. Being 60, I find today's youth so frigging uptight that its a wonder they all don't bust a spring before age 40. *NSFW (language)* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keymomachine Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Woke up to my phone, a Pixel 3, powered-off and non-responsive on my bedside table. It had 78% when I set it down to sleep. Why couldn't this have happened yesterday when my parents were visiting and could pay attention to my four year old while I troubleshoot this. I'm considering just ordering a replacement one off Woot today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Twain Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 2020-2021 described in a single word--Languishing "Languishing is the neglected middle child of mental health. It’s the void between depression and flourishing — the absence of well-being. You don’t have symptoms of mental illness, but you’re not the picture of mental health either. You’re not functioning at full capacity. Languishing dulls your motivation, disrupts your ability to focus, and triples the odds that you’ll cut back on work. It appears to be more common than major depression — and in some ways it may be a bigger risk factor for mental illness." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
