one thing I do miss about the office is the canteen for decent, cheap hot food at lunch every day, having the extra effort of cooking in my half-hour lunchtime is getting me eating a lot of sandwiches etc.

I got a box in the post today I'm looking forward to trying for a quick meal:



these are absolutely loving incredible if you go for the “i hate myself today and my rear end in a top hat tomorrow” end of the hot sauce bar

but seriously. have something on hand to ease the burn. i love ramen and i love spicy and i still could never eat these back to back days

COVID has been such a massive net benefit for me and it is extremely hard to square that circle with the knowledge that people I know/the world just are suddenly turbofucked.

it is also unsurprisingly extremely difficult to talk through this with friends.

extremely same. some people i know have no idea when they’ll work again, i got poached and joined the six figgie club. i feel guilty for not being deservedly angry/sad like so many others and i have no idea if that’s normal/healthy or just my catholic upbringing

re:clearing plates

i spent a lot of my formative years with my grandparents who were children in the depression, and despite going on to achieve an exceedingly stable genuinely middle class life, they somehow never figured out that my generation doesn’t have to loving hoard food under our skin

  • "Rip up all city streets with jackhammers" and "sod the streets at once ... All public movement would be by foot and a fleet of bicycles, maintained by the city police force."
  • "Change the name 'Aspen', by public referendum, to 'Fat City'. This would prevent greedheads, land-rapers and other human jackals from capitalizing on the name 'Aspen' ... These swine should be hosed, broken, and driven across the land."
  • "Drug Sales must be controlled. My first act as Sheriff will be to install, on the courthouse lawn, a bastinado platform and a set of stocks in order to punish dishonest dope dealers in a proper public fashion. Each year these dealers cheat millions of people out of millions of dollars ... it will be the general philosophy of the Sheriff’s office that no drug worth taking should be sold for money."
  • "Hunting and fishing should be forbidden to all non-residents, with the exception of those who can obtain the signed endorsement of a resident- who will then be legally responsible for any violation or abuse committed by the non-resident he has 'signed for' ... By this approach-making hundreds or even thousands of individuals personally responsible for protecting the animals, fish and birds who live here-we would create a sort of de facto game preserve, without the harsh restrictions that will necessarily be forced on us if these blood-thirsty geeks keep swarming in here each autumn to shoot everything they see."
  • "The Sheriff and his Deputies should never be armed in public. Every urban riot, shoot-out and blood-bath (involving guns) in recent memory has been set off by some trigger-happy cop in a fear frenzy."
  • "It will be the policy of the Sheriff's office savagely to harass all those engaged in any form of land-rape."

just caught up on a month or two of the thread. everyone I saw who posted about the faces test had good scores, so idk if I’m really an outlier or if everyone just didn’t want to fess up…

but I got a 6/14 and I guess my quasi-jokes about face blindness weren’t really jokes

gently caress, the only reason that just now realizing that there have been four Der Altes during my lifetime didn't make me feel old is that I feel old all the time on account of being old.

Also German cop shows have the worst/best dissonance between the theme tracks and the actual shows:

so was it just the end of that one episode or did every week people spent 90 seconds staring at a freeze frame of a guy who looks like he just shat his pants

This was the lesson I learned from Lost. I watched the first two seasons on Netflix then read up on the rest and the fan reactions and dropped it. I can't imagine being a dedicated viewer to something for that length of time and having a production team waste your time like that.

lost is notable for a final-season episode that says outright “each answer only leads to more questions” in the context of ‘gently caress off and leave us alone’

it is literally impossible to stop teenagers from trying to gently caress and any risk model needs to include that

i read something about how inscrutable machine learning can be and it used this as an example — our goal is to get the computer to win at chess, who knows what the computer is actually optimizing for? evolution’s goal is to maximize offspring and our entire takeaway from that is to relentlessly gently caress
