Tacos are always nice.

You raise a good point. What other flags could folks surrounded by “patriots” fly for good fun?

I wouldn’t do pizza, but I like absurdity. A high brow option might be a pipe… but no, I believe I might go with a lovely, steamy cup of coffee. Or perhaps an uncropped picture of a your pizza flag waving in the air. Yes, I do believe that would be absurd.

I don’t even know anyone who uses BlueSky and that’s considerably more trendy lately. Granted, most of my contacts are 20 something college girls so it’s pretty much TikTok as far as the eye can see.

Tell that to his ill advised Drill Baby Drill chant. I’m not convinced real life impacts his decisions.

Wait I didn’t know that was an option. Can he just offer some Crimean oil in exchange for all of their land back?

Added note: Americans go to war over oil. It’s a proven fact.

What a lovely peach! So pink and moist.

Others have good answers. My only answer is I sure as hell wouldn’t notice. I swear, I blink and several minutes seem to pass. Ugh.

Oh but one point, when I and others do notice (or rather, are told by smarter people), you sure as hell better believe people are going to be researching and trying to figure out how the fuck that happened. Could change how we conceptualize the time dimension forever.

I think it’s best to straght ghost them, but I haven’t personal had to do that to family-- only family friends. They won’t change their views for you, it’s really just for your own mental health and a clean cut is so much more satisfying.

It’s always probably they’ll change on their own eventually and want to reconcile and if that happens, there’s always a way to find someone if one tries hard enough. And if he doesn’t change? People like that deserve to die alone.

Bro gives her her own library. So yes, that may have played a role.

Good thought, but I’m not sure since I can imagine things pretty well in my mind if it’s something from adulthood (and maybe a few from late teens). I think I just don’t think about things enough to retain those neural connections, maybe. It’s not like people are trying to implant memories, either.

Reading the comments, I’d say it’s worth it. Singapore fucking rocks. Be sure to celebrate with some chili crab or at least a bowl of laksa. Heck, the savings on cheap and beautiful chicken rice alone would make to for that passport cost!

(Yes, I’m hungry while posting this comment).

My 2yo goes fucking nuts when Bobomb battle field plays, particularly the Hang onto your Hat remix album. Whole family dancing, kids spinning around, good times had by all.

If you started with the beatboxed version at that family table, I would back you up with the bzzchek budda bucheck sounds. Greentext’s family doesn’t know the classics.

Ah, I’m going to miss Snopes in the post-truth society. :(

All correct, lots of interesting psychology articles on this and even a documentary about it iirc (like implanting getting lost in a mall as a child.) I teach confirmation bias in one of my classes and some of it is also just misremembering things to fit a narrative you want to believe.

What’s funny to me while I learned about it is that I don’t seem to do this fill-in-the-gaps misremembering stuff. I just don’t remember shit. What I do remember is vague and undetailed, though, and kind of easy to prove in the sense that vague memories could be all sorts of things (like crying but not remembering why). It’s like all a blur until college, lol.

My guess is my shitty childhood was traumatic, or I’m neurologically atypical (and given how weird I am, probably both). It doesn’t help I get conflicting stories from parents though.

I do feel a bit like a Hank Hill when I rant about this or any other newer, unwelcome features. No, Outlook, I don’t want you to finish my sentences, you are wrong 100% of the time and I’d rather do it myself gosh dang it.

This is correct, given a new administration can simply change it back to keep it in line with the rest of the world. Won’t do us much good if there isn’t a next administration, though.

That’s why you full your mouth with boiling water, duh.

My daughter cheers Go Go Go! When they do that action song during an episode, and part of me wants a parody that just continues that repetition without ever ending until the credits fade to black.

I’m also not too worried about my daughter becoming right wing. She can already tell how uncomfortable I am around cops, lol (but she mostly just loves firefighters and construction workers).

Like every other episode involves some train crash or other perfectly avoidable catastrophe. Granted, that’s maybe their nepo mayors fault (her grandpa was mayor back in the day) but they’re still very complicit.

(My daughter is 2, these thoughts are all I have to get me through watching it with her)
