  • My shitpost response is that I personally plan to be sluttier.

    My serious response is that social media needs to be more social.
    I hate Facebook because it’s just an advertising platform, but I don’t know what is going on if I avoid it. I wish there was a way to just share social calendars with all my friends. Like - I want a group tracker that one-click adds stuff that I find interesting. I want to only see stuff certain folks have added to their tracker, and have the ability to share with folks what stuff I’m sharing to share, vs what I’m sharing because I’m actually going to attend something. Make it easy to connect with folks, not advertisers.




  • Yes!
    My wife and I order breakfast once a week from this local place. They’ve undergone some changes and transitions over the years and in their current phase they partnered with another business (a coffee shop) where they use they kitchen space that came with the building and the coffee shop plays to their strengths.

    We can’t make as much small talk as we used to with the owners of the restaurant when we go to pick up our food (ordered online 99% of the time), but there’s always a sense of connection in being recognized by the restaurant staff, who will pop out of the kitchen to hand me my order if the baristas are busy, or when the baristas see me and just grab my food from the order window and call my name before I’m halfway through the crowd of customers. I’m a big fish in a very small pond!






  • To be fair, it’s usually pretty trash, as beer goes. I actually thought your comment was more of a meta-commentary on the beer itself!

    A common adage, typically with 3.2% brand names swapped in for ‘American beer’:

    What do American beer and making love in a canoe have in common?
    They’re both fucking close to water!

    They’re referring to beer that is limited to 3.2% alcohol by volume. Historically (and even still in many parts of the U.S.), you had to go to a dedicated liquor store to buy beer or spirits that are stronger. Beer that is limited to 3.2% can be sold at convenience stores and often at normal food shops. Due to its low alcohol content, it’s often considered garbage beer, “yard beer,” or American beer.

    It’s often easier for underaged folks to buy this kind of beer, since these shops do not always card their clientele, whereas a liquor store will usually have a better culture around checking ID’s.

    Also, just because it’s on rotation in my playlists, Adam Carroll’s Oklahoma Gypsy Shuffler makes reference to 3.2 beer.

    I knew a guy who - about 20 years ago, slept with both women in a lesbian relationship. As in - they cheated on each other with him. And somehow they formed a workable triad out of that that was pretty darn stable for like 10 years. Until he got caught cheating on them (after months, apparently) with someone in their social group - a younger, monogamous, ‘party girl’-type woman.
    He didn’t want to break up with anyone, and all of them refused to ‘give up’ so now (10 years after cheating) he has two relationships - the triad, the “new” one, two houses, and now a kid with each woman.

    He looks and acts sort of like a grown up version of Max from A Goofy Movie (Goofy’s son), is still ‘fixing’ the muscle car he bought in his college years, and has a 99% complete collection of every edition of Playboy magazine.

    But to answer your question of what a guy with 3 (or more) wives should look like? Bill Paxton, circa 2011.

    While filling late night silence with noise, I recently saw a YouTube video of the format where a voice (possibly AI?) stretched a Reddit comment from a D&D (variant of some kind) DM into a 20 minute long narrative.
    The story was that the DM gave a “that guy” murderhobo an outlet for their shoot ‘em up artificer murderhobo ways by bringing an NPC ghost into the party for dinner, whereupon the ghost could not ‘eat’ with them until the murderhobo, at the ghost’s prompting, shot the ghost’s plate of food, causing it to splatter and shatter, spraying the party-mates with food, revealing the ghost plate in its stead, which the ghost happily chowed down on - joining the party for dinner, and giving the player some way to feel like a very special boy.

    Anyway. Wonder if the artist saw that comment or perhaps the video.
