That’s not even that much money is the thing.

Chicken breast is good as a protein to add to other stuff, like chili and tacos.

Steak is best when you pair it with some hardy sides like a baked potato or asparagus.

Or you get a big glass of water and slop it up!

Durrrrrrr ChatGPT, write and essay about da boooook

NGL I enjoy the taste of steak. Idk why, I get it’s not super flavorful but I enjoy the texture of it.

Oh yeah nothing really pulls a nice steak together than birthday candle wax!

Yay and Also Beware Trivial Inconveniences (a future full post)

I am coming around to a generalized version of this principle. There is a vast difference between:

Something being legal, ubiquitous, frictionless and advertised.

Something being available, mostly safe to get, but we make it annoying.

Something being actively illegal, where you can risk actual legal trouble.

Something being actively illegal and we really try to stop you (e.g.*removed*, murder). 

We’ve placed far too many productive and useful things in category 2 that should be in category 1. By contrast, we’ve taken too many destructive things, too many vices, that we long had the wisdom to put in category 2, and started putting them in category 1.

Prohibitions, putting such things into categories 3 and especially 4, tends to work out extremely poorly. Don’t do that unless absolutely necessary. Let people do privately destructive things if they want to do that.

Often, it is important that you make doing the wrong thing a little annoying. It is especially important to not make it annoying to do the productive things, and not annoying to instead do the destructive things.

This actually sums up well some feelings I’ve been having with regards to vice legalization in general. I agree prohibition doesn’t work but I’ve also had some misgivings about full and total legalization since that also comes with some negative social effects since having a vice being so freely available to addicts does lower the barrier to entry for destructive behaviors. Maybe there is something to be said for society making your vice a big pain in the ass to indulge in. I’ve known people who quit smoking once it got more expensive.

Sniping a right wing podcaster at the behest of an obvious stand-in for the CIA would be peak GTA satire.

Oh no my Valheim base!

did you take a moment to teach him the correct way to do it?

Of course!

I’m currently stuck living with my mom till I get a better job (hopefully 🙏) and honestly, I was happy when she got a new BF cuz getting laid puts her in a WAY better mood.

She’s not getting drunk on wine and trauma dumping about her ex to me every other night.

Ooof this one hit home a little

It would be pretty funny if by the end of his tenure he turned out to be pretty fucking based and all his Lib moments were calculated REALPOLITIK maneuvering.

I mean, I HIGHLY doubt anything even close to that will be the case, but it would be a humorous reversal of trends around here.

Oh god I may discover the hot woman I’m dating is a slightly paler hot woman!

Dr. Wolf, I think you’re just horny and projecting a bit.
