Finished season 2 of the Great British Bakeoff.

Im happy my favorite person won, but the final 3 did not seem impressive at all. I think any of the final 3 from season 1 would of easily won over them.

Also (Season 2 spoilers) Apparently Ruby is the most popular person to have been on the show? I couldn't stand her by the end, and that she made top 3 was mind boggling.

Oatmeal with protein powder mixed in is a legit stupid pleasure of mine, and my kid has grown up eating it too, which means it’s going to be really hilarious when she finally discovers that most people don’t have chocolate flavored oatmeal.

I tried it with chocolate and it was so strange I couldn't eat it more than 1-2 times.

But as a kid I can see why it would be good because, well its chocolate.

I think we both fundamentally agree that almost regardless of what happens, outside a shooting war, the democrats will likely win a fairly resounding wave victory over '18 and '20.

That said, unless they fundamentally change what they support and who they champion, I fully expect them to give control right back to the Republicans over the following 8 years, and just hope they don't find a competent fascist to climb atop the pile.

This is pretty much exactly what will happen. I am eagerly awaiting 2023 when the DNC looks at itself hard in the mirror and realized "Aha! This time we will run a centrist platform and find bi-partisan solutions. That is sure to win!"

He is hovering around a 37% approval rating which is absolutely horrid. A cutout democrat is running something like +10 compared to a cutout republican.

He can do what he can while he has congress, but if he loses that there will be nothing to go on.

His base is nothing more then brand ownership where you have Chuds that have invested their entire identity around him and therefore he can do no wrong.

ugh.

yeah, i'm trying to calm down so i can write down my thoughts but jesus christ it's so bad.

in the past 24 months they've done the following:

-lied to us about how many people are actually living in the house, forcing me personally to cover costs as we were short about $1,000 on our annual bills. we also had to cancel our annual alumni dinner thing at homecoming
-kid pulled his dick out at a party because "i thought it would be funny", charges got filed and we ejected him from the fraternity
-lied to us about being on probation for having communal sources of alcohol
-and now 12 brothers went to a sorority party and one of them was allowed to go home to his dorm where he then went to the bathroom, vomitted on himself (on his side thank god), lost consciousness and was rushed the the hospital when a security officer found him. he's since lost his RA job, his scholarship and god knows what's going to happen to the sorority
-complained about being forced by our national organization to take a mandatory sexual assault awareness class (this one really pissed me off)
-countless other low-level things that i can't even remember at this point

what the gently caress. if even one thing like that had happened in my day we would've been on our asses so fast our heads would've spun. instead these little brats don't seem to understand consequences. i have no clue what the hell to even do here that will get through to them. it's so loving frustrating. 10 years ago i was busting my rear end to found this fraternity and trying so hard to live up to our standards and not just being another lovely frat where you get drunk and...this is what they turned it into.

they disgust me

:stare:

Holy poo poo, I am truly sorry to hear about all of that. When I was an undergrad we got busted for having a formal with large open containers and our National put us on probation for a semester. I remember the brimstone speech we got from our alumni advisor over that.

I don't even know how to start with that level of fuckery.

Grapes of Wrath was legit awful for 400 pages, then got pretty good for the next 200.

Oh yea, I haven't read any Murakami past Kafka on the Shore which was quite good. My favorite thing about Brother's Karamazov in the modern era is how often politicians say that they're currently reading it during interviews. How was that the book the political machines landed on?


It's a brutal ending. Oddly, most of the saddest things I've ever read were when I was in middle school/high school. I've either become too cynical as I age or they push all the brutally hosed up stuff on kids.

Seems like an odd one considering the conservative ethos is Ayn Rand, and I would imagine Tolstoy would be a better fit for liberals.

Maybe because it is a long book that they think most people haven't read so it sounds deep?

Of course, I can't brag too much because I was reading the Economist and it was secretly poisoning my high school brain.

I remember reading Anthem and liking it a lot.

But then again that was a time in high school when I got super into dystopia novels. I think in less than a month I read 1984, Anthem, Brave New World, A Handmaid's Tale, and We.

I remember having to read Crime and Punishment in AP English and hating it, but more because it felt way too long than anything else.

It is a fantastic book from a time when authors were paid by the page, so its 800 pages.

The meeting between Raskalnakov and Porfiry in the police station is one of my favorite moments in any book, and makes the long read to get to it worth it.
