Yeah, the secret to getting good bacon is buying it at the butcher deli counter. You can request your preferred thickness, it’s much leaner, and it’s more flavorful. Unless you’ve got a local artisan cured meat hookup available, it’s the way to go.

How about we be good to each other because it’s the right thing to do. And in a world full of people struggling to get by it’s what we can all offer each other. That works. If any behavior is predicated on causing other people to act a certain way it’s going to have its failures when encountering the great mess of humanity out there.

Maybe you do; I produce far more feces by replying to comments on the internet

Yeah this one for me, too. It felt like humans lost one of the people who understood them best and still kept caring about them in spite of it all. It took me a long time to face Discworld again and I had to put down Shepherds Crown for a bit at that one part.

You had me at blame Henry Ford.

I feel like The Librarian would take a lot of pleasure in finding University students with pristine collections and slipping in beaten up old paperbacks among them every now and then. The students think it’s a magic field around Unseen University but it’s actually an orangutan.

Violent World: Tribute to Misfits was a regular part of my CD rotation in the early 00’s. There’s a bit of pop punk, industrial metal, even a rockabilly track if I remember. It was a fun one.

Damn they made that leaf look so tasty.

My wife and I were having fun doing co-op on the Trine games. Coordinating your character switches to cross obstacles can be pretty fun. The Lego Star Wars games were also fun for us both to just mess around and cause chaos.

Anora. The first half hour or so has a lot of party and club scenes and after a bit it feels like a tiktok feed. When it really dives into the story it gets good, with a lot of conflicting interests and very good performances. Overall my wife and I enjoyed it, and being rarely able to sit and watch a movie together lately that’s worth a lot.

“What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Royal Capital, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Caelid, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in this world, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the loyalists and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.” - Soldier of Godrick
