I’d imagine this goes without saying, but I’m here to tell you, if you ever get the chance to go to Alaska then loving take it. Every time you turn around it’s just knockout gorgeous.

I got my copies of Alone in the Wilderness parts 1 and 2 in Denali and I wish I had the guts to do what he did.

My company has a few sites up there and I really wanna go do one of our audits at those locations, but there are 2 people senior to me in my dept who do 'em since one really likes hiking and the other has family up there.
At least once a winter the person with family shares a video their kid sent of a moose just roaming their driveway, even one time where they were trapped in their car because the giant lunk was between their car and the front door.

lol I also had cable in 2002.

Sunday nights were OK then, but in the late 90’s Dennis Miller followed Real Sex (Reel Sex?) which was both horrifyingly unsexy and the
most explicit poo poo (possibly literally) on cable.

Telling this story I must confess that I watched and looked forward to Dennis Miller in the late 90s and watched it with girls I was dating :oldguyemoji:.

One night with one girl we saw the last 3 min of Real Sex as it ran over (or clocks were off it, was the 90’s) and when Dennis Miller started she said “yuck I can actually hear the sticky bathrobes closing”.

Goddamn had to get that out it was so gross/memorable.

real sex was cool, and HBO is lovely to not have the archive viewable for streaming they rotate out 1 to 3 episodes at a time.
It's definitely got a place in our generation's psyche as that thing we thought was gonna be be porn, but was just about a bunch of weird people doing what makes them happy.

Also drunken people on the street answering questions about their sex life in front of a camera.

In addition to the whacky stuff like puppetry of the penis, they'd have segments on kink at pride, or strip clubs that only hired black women.
I remember the strip club one was weird/stood out because it wasn't really a fetish thing, and they said as much in the show that their whole model was based on the fact clubs didn't hire black workers back then (most still often won't give them good shifts if they'll hire them today).

It was over all a very sex positive thing that was presented without judgement -even if you the viewer were absolutely watching it to laugh at the balloon popping fetish segment.

yeah, I always turn the radio volume off in people's cars when the ads come on. Not watching or listening to ads for so long has made them pretty much unbearable.

They sell the tiny fake fireballs in giant buckets (as in you can buy the whole bucket, containing like 50 individual tiny bottles) to maximize the single-use plastic waste generated, the romans never did that

The dialectical struggle of history has always, essentially, been a question of how to apply justice to matter. Take away matter and what remains is justice.

If I add cheese to toast, then it's a cheese toast even though it's no longer "toast".

If I add cinnamon to whiskey, then why can't it be "cinnamon whiskey"?

If you buy an American whiskey and expect something resembling actual whiskey, that's on you. Just like how American cheese is not really cheese and American democracy is just sparkling oligarchy.

Bourbon doesn't taste like whiskey, and should just lose the association altogether. It can be good if you're into that taste though.
