I don't have any real life friends that play video games besides my kids, and they only want to play Roblox.

Hmm, plants I planted last year all probably died due to Texas icestorm, but going to try and bring them back anyway. Also the irrigation system is just bubbling and flooding the lawn now. Sound like a good weekend project for me, should only take a couple hours.

My rosemary, all gone 😭

Mine will always be on one of the 3 or 4 NPR stations we pick up

Whenever I'm in the car listening to Fresh Air and they name the credits at the end; I'll alway say "Briger please" out loud to myself when they list Sam Briger.

It could still use some professional work on the frets, the strings buzz a lot but more likely the problem is I suck at bass.



Fret buzz is entirely caused by parts of the guitar not hitting each other the correct way, not technique. Take it to a luthier for a full setup and you'll be amazed at the difference. Congratulations on actually finishing your project though; you have pleased your fallen ancestors.

Just bought a pedalboard, multi port power supply and loop pedal for my guitar stuff collection. I can't wait to use it for a few days and never touch it again (see wah pedal for a similar situation). Although with a proper board set up I'll have everything in one place finally.

I used to care about my lawn when the house was new, but between my neighbors that let everything grow wild (some weeds are a couple of feet tall in their backyard) and the empty weed filled field behind our street I just said gently caress it and keep everything mowed as short as possible so at least the weeds blend into the grass.

I wonder how many hours a day the average suburban chud spends fantasizing about finally getting their chance to shoot someone.

One of my favorite comics calls that "paranoid optimism." I think that's an amazingly accurate phrase.

Listening to death metal while picking up curbside groceries in my minivan is pretty Rad Suburban Dad. Especially because I lower the volume after opening the back door because I don't want to be obnoxious.

2016 Toyota Sienna I bought used with a sensible 40Kish miles already on it. It's holding steady, I also have a 2009 Camry with 145K miles on it. It's been paid off for four years now, CREAM.

Both of my daughters find farts hilarious so I know I'm doing something right. My wife will laugh half of the time, or hit me the other half. It's a matter of context.

You wanna kill a whole wasp nest / ant colony dead as gently caress in mere seconds from 15 feet away? This is the good poo poo. Liquid death, and it also works as an aggressive dog deterrent.

No but you can buy lots of drugs there so you quit worrying about your lawn and realize that nothing really matters.

Went to my brother in law's new place over the weekend, and was introduced to the amazing technology that is a pellet smoker. After some research it appears that there is (of course) strong opinions about the manliness of using one of these. After eating a poo poo ton of delicious and perfectly smoked meat I can firmly say, gently caress the haters; that meat was loving awesome. I don't like to play the "I'm from Texas and I know smoked meats" card too often but I'm throwing it down in this case. Pellet smokers are the tits.
