cue all the D’Amro Land jokes

the Super Bowl is just a bunch of burly guys pressing tightly against another group of burly guys trying to prove who is best at handling balls all to win jewelry and a purse.

don’t forget back room deals!

if this guy was still in charge, he’d probably encourage more people to travel to the games because “seats might become available suddenly”

I think removing their union protections (I’m a union member and I don’t think they should be afforded the same types of protections since they’re not labor, they’re the armed section of government who are the only ones allowed to use force on the citizens) and making them carry insurance would be a start. Then, moving their budget to do something about the fact that so many of their calls are to deal with mental health crises which they’re not trained for. Plus, for as large as their budgets are, I’d expect better results in solving crimes. Lots of police departments average something like 25% solve rate which includes things like when people turn themselves in.

A couple of days ago we had to take our oldest dog to the emergency vet about an hour from home. She seemed to be in lots of pain from her arthritis and I was afraid of what they would tell us. They did a few tests and said basically that we should have been giving her some daily medicine to help with inflammation. We left with the pills in hand and now the old girl is walking around much better and is seeming more like her old self again. While we’re upset at our regular vet for not doing this stuff sooner, we’re happy that it’s done now.

I hope all their future meals taste like piss and flies

I like how the AP describes it as “scrapes on his head” and the whiny bastard claimed he was “literally lynched” at the protest. People like him deserve much worse than what he got

I had it easy teaching my daughter to drive - she was naturally cautious so if anything I only ever had to remind her to speed up. We live in a small enough city that I never even did that unless there was traffic behind her. I let her learn at her speed (and then sent her to driving school to get that discount on insurance). No yelling or extra stress required

it’s about someone who can’t make long term memories. The scenes are put together in basically backwards order and people tend to leave their first viewing confused

There are plenty of us who enjoy board and card games. I know others have suggested TTRPGs, but those can have an extra layer of anxiety (for me at least) because of all the extra social stuff that goes along with it. Board games typically go faster and each has it’s own rules, so you can find one that suits your needs or even one that is themed around another interest you have.

sometimes I go to fights in hopes that a hockey game will break out

it’s funny that in a country where we have a Second Amendment right to bear arms (and the police are dressed/armed as though that’s their normal everyday interaction) yet a sandwich is seen as a threat.

am I supposed to believe that those cans are holy hand grenades?

they are now

I just started it today!

The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie. (Ebook) I keep trying to find books in the Fantasy genre that I enjoy reading. hopefully this will be the one that gets me there.

Polostan by Neal Stephenson. Bought this one blind because I like every one of the author’s books that I’ve read. They’re usually filled with math and or philosophy and he does a great job of explaining things in the context of the book, so I’m excited to get into this one and feel dumb for a while until I pick up whatever he’s putting down.

I just finished (today) both Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and The Man Who Died Seven Times by Yasuhiko Nishizawa.
