My wife has warned her friends “Never refer to my husband looking after his kids as “babysitting” unless you want a snarky, probably very rude response.”

Except on their anchovies.

“I’M GONNA JUMP!!!”

“Go for distance! Make sure you land on public property!”

I dont hate cops, I hate that they dont live up to the image they want us to believe and be worthy of the respect that they think they are owed.

Its actually sad that a dystopian facist parody such as Judge Dredd is actually fairer and more just than what we have now.

I asked my local thai restaurant to “make it a little spicier than normal” because their normal is white suburban spicy and the chef gave me something so spicy it was inedible.

Like… Fuck you, you arent the only Thai restaraunt in town.

Not to downplay womens sufferage and sexism (because it was wrong) but a substantial portion of straight white women act like they have had it every bit as bad as the truly persecuted and enslaved. Like sure, your great great grandmother didnt have the right to vote, while she was sipping lemonade on the verandah of the plantation while the people her husband owned worked the fields and cleaned the house.

You might not have been allowed to drive the car, but you got driven places you wanted to go in it.

As much as Tom Cruise is problematic, he also likes to sign on to do really good standalone Sci-Fi.

I posted a few days ago about how there isnt anywhere near as much outrage about Iran as Palestine because Iran has been talking shit about death to the west and death to Israel for 40 years.

This is the equivalent of the mouthy kid getting snotted by the schoolyard bully after running his mouth. I dont like either of them and I’m not surprised someone finally got fed up.

That being said. When the news continually reports about the price of oil per barrel IN USD and tries to blame literally anyone but THE US for the spike in price without ever referencing that we are forced into paying for oil in the currency of the country causing the price spikes… my blood pressure does go up.

I will die on this hill. BBT was 6 seasons of a quality sitcom dragged out over 12. If a skilled editor went through and cut out all the filler, it would be a much better show.

Yeah I accidentally a word.

I once bought a car in about 2009 and yeah the tyres held air but were dry rotted but held air, I was thinking about driving it home nice and slow and gentle.

Then I saw “Made in West Germany” on the sidewall, I called a towtruck.

The problem isnt “could AI be useful?” Because yes, it very much could Its “Can AI be trusted with the data it needs?” because thats also a conversation about “Can the organisation that owns the AI be trusted with the data?” and “Can those people be trusted to work for the betterment of society?”

Imagine if you had live tracking information about every car on the road nationally and could map out their typical routes. That information could be so useful in terms of traffic optimisation, planning future road developments, enhancing and expanding public transport. If you reduced the amount of driving time and miles done by a typical car annually by 10% thats effectively 10% less emissions, 10% less petrol used, 10% less tyres… you get the idea.

Now do you trust your government, let alone a private profit seeking entity to use that data ethically to reduce consumption? Because I sure as fuck dont.

Small bottle of whiskey.

Its like Costco, I dont LOVE any big corporation but if I have to give money to one it would be the one that treats employees like people and appreciates its customers.

Or worse.

Theres a product I need, never seen an ad for it. Go online, buy it. Thats all my ads are for the next 3 months like I’m some sort of fucking collector now.

NGL I do love a good sports movie but those are the easiest low hanging fruit examples I can think of because you dont even need to pretend like the original didnt happen,“Our baseball team sucks AGAIN” isnt a complicated plot. You can reference the original, update the humor, have cameos and its all just fun.

They need to stop trying to remake and reboot beloved franchises that nobody is asking to have remade. Remake fun, make it fun and let people eat popcorn.

Hear me out here… I want more remakes. But remakes for the right reasons.

White Men Cant Jump was a good movie for 1992, but it was hardly oscar bait. The 2023 remake wasnt bad, it was a fun revisit. I enjoy it because it gives me the feeling they actually had fun making it. Do it with Major League or The Replacements, dont reinvent the wheel just make a VERY similar movie with serious actors who want to have some fun, break their mould, tell some dick jokes. Dont cast whoever is currently hot or someone I’ve seen in 28 contrived comedies. I want Timothee Chalomet and Benedict Cumberpatch as players with unusual names have an in character argument about who has the stupider name.

Because America already doesnt give a fuck about dead kids. Sandy Hook proved that.

Yes

I can almost write a dissertation on this shit but the advice I give anyone who is stressing about the scales is a bit counter-intuitive.

Weigh yourself 4 or 5 times a day and write it down but dont give a fuck about the number for at least a month. If your diet and exercise are on point you just need to trust the process.

Some people fluctuate wildly based on body water, women especially around their menstral cycle. If you wait a whole week between weigh-ins and you had a salty carb heavy meal the night before your weigh in you can have lost 2lbs but be holding 3lbs of water thats going to disappear by the end of the day.

Essentially you need to get a feel for how much your weight swings on average throughout a day so when you have been doing everything right but the scales dont refect that you have a set of data you can examine to make sure you are overall trending the way you hope.
