Probably Kevin McCallister, since he’s the only kid that showed any aptitude for fending off intruders in those movies. Close second would be Buzz’s girlfriend though.

Thanks I’m doing fine so far but I feel like it’s a matter of time.

My wife texted our friends at 4 am to let everyone know we’re cancelling our new year’s party because she’s sick as shit. So my plan is to take care of her, watch the kids, and wait for the rest of us to inevitably start puking our guts out.

What a fucked up country where if you want to murder someone, all you need to do is harass them relentlessly for days beforehand so when they eventually try to protect themselves you can shoot them and claim self defense.

1. I disagree on this point. It’s convenient for a vegan, vegetarian or just someone who is trying to eat less meat to be able to make a substitution in a recipe. Tempeh is a great protein, but you have to know how to prepare it and what dishes it will work best in, whereas vegan “chicken” or plant based “beef” can be easily substituted 1:1 in recipes. As you get more comfortable, you can start substituting things like ground tofu, lentils or seitan, but having the culinary shorthand is helpful for lots of people.

2. I’ve had the opposite experience. Most of the vegan recipes I’ve found online use clever plant based substitutions that aren’t processed meat alternatives. A good exercise is to take your favorite dish and Google “vegan [that dish]” and see what ingredients are in those recipes. Many of the recipes you find will likely have whole food ingredients!

3. I don’t think vegan food brands are trying to change hearts and minds necessarily. I think they’re just providing easily substitutable alternatives for people who have already decided to eat fewer animal products.

Same tbh

I suppose my intent for this question was a little more nuanced than what I posted, so my bad. Generative AI wowed me initially, but it very quickly lost its appeal to me the more it became anti-consumer. As I learned more about the models and saw how it just aggregates and plagiarizes human created content it all really soured on me. I suppose it’s still technically impressive, but I really struggle to see how the benefits outweigh the cost.

Is that where the confirmation hearings for the cabinet picks are being held?

No, he clearly wanted a Nintendo Switch.

1933 by Frank Turner.

The first time it was a tragedy,
The second time it’s a farce.
Outside it’s 1933,
So I am hitting the bars.

And I don’t know what’s going on anymore.
The world outside is burning with a brand new light,
But it isn’t one that makes me feel warm.
Don’t go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn.

That tweet’s a roller coaster.

They deserve each other.

Hell yeah. There is no culture war, only a class war!

You got this!

That’s a great idea, I think I’ll do that as well!

Sort of, Dan Wilson said he had the idea while writing the song because his wife was pregnant so he slipped it in as a double entendre. It’s like 90% bar closing with a couple lines alluding to being born: “Closing time, this room won’t be open till your brothers or your sisters come”.

Thank you on behalf of someone else who gets super annoyed with loose carts and lazy people!
