I would rather cook because I like the taste much, much more. Almost all frozen stuff is just flavorless to me so I end up having to doctor it up anyway. It’s easier for me to just start from scratch unless it’s something that’s a giant pain.

I also worked as a cook when I was young so the effort/time is probably a bit less for me since I can do the food prep stuff quickly and without much mental effort. When I chop vegetables, my brain basically does it on autopilot.

Stuff from different decades just to confuse whomever finds it. Like get a Five Stairsteps album from a used record store, a Blue Oyster Cult 8 track, a Tecmo Bowl cartridge, a Boyz II Men CD, and a newspaper from yesterday.

God, I’m getting old. I could have passed a lie detector test saying the pedo guy incident was in the 2020s, at least.

Considering he’s visibly losing it already, I should think so. I originally thought it was a midlife crisis but it’s been like 4 years.

By the way, I don’t want to discourage anyone from studying International Affairs (or International Relations or International Political Economy or whatever it is at your school). I’m very happy I did. Reading primary sources and writing papers is a good thing. And we have loads of transcripts of actual world leaders making decisions. At my college, we read both the declassified U.S. cabinet and Soviet side’s actual transcripts during the Cuban missile crisis and I wrote papers about avoiding war.

I don’t regret studying it. Sometimes, something happens and I can predict it because I’ve read those primary sources. It’s a valuable skill. Peace is the goal.

And they would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for the 200,000 mice pawing at their hideout door demanding cheese.

You think open source project maintainers should move to different countries because of temporary sanctions? What if they have a wife with a job and kids in school? Or delicate Lego collections that are impossible to pack? Or a side-piece?

Take issue with the sanctions if you want but don’t take issue with people who don’t want to move their family, LEGO collections, and side-pieces.

Women do be like that (active participants in politics).

I studied International Affairs. The professors are like, “Whatever your views, ya gotta hand it to Kissinger.” You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to Kissinger.

Maybe someone in the US foreign policy establishment will develop the ability to know right from wrong.

It’s really self-selecting at this point. If you have any sort of soul, you study what they’re doing, get disgusted, and leave. Why would you take part in things like this?

I’d like to think it’s because they’re taking a stand but they have to be even more sick of seeing weird American incels talk about US elections than we are in the U.S. Not to mention vote scolds who assume the entire internet is American.

“I don’t care about the election.”

“Vote! It’s important!”

“Motherfucker, I live in Antwerp! Shut up! Just shut up!”

4 more gigstons of CO₂ in the atmosphere linked to more anxiety in people who might actually see 2100.

Was the question, “Do you need those bombs replaced?”

Maybe now national news outlets can finally interview a trans person for their pieces about whether trans people should exist. As it stands, it’s easier to get on cable news or an interview in The NY Times if you’re a white supremacist or even some old fuck in a swing state diner.

Oh, really? You’re sick of everyone being offended?

That’s the thing about fascist dictatorships. Billionaires think they want one and imagine themselves being one of the powerful few oligarchs. Then, they fall out of a window because dictators don’t like potential rivals.

We had a pretty good run. We became a democracy in 1965 or so. That’s a solid 60 years.

My ancestors came from the sea.

Turns out, that guy used to write for Richard Spencer.
