Very much so. It was only one dog, but she's a very large one which means a lot of surface area to pet

how cute and pettable were the dogs?

That sounds wonderful! Always good to add more chili oil, hope you can get more soon :)

nonamerican continuity broken by using "donuts" instead of "doughnuts" whoa

Touch screens are swiftly becoming the hot new way to interact with a computer!

i watched it again and holy moly that input lag at 0:11

that sounds really good

:D

No, not self deprecating. Most people just aren't that good of people.

I just need to be realistic. I've tried doing it before and it never sticks. It works better and is easier to stick with if I move to it over time, because I know myself and I know that I will just slip later on and drop it altogether in the future if I don't.

me too

Oh, I thought it was vegetarian but not vegan. This is actually something I should very much know lol

It has not yet been relevant for me since but I appreciate knowing that

yay :D

He may be mostly irrelevant now, but I'll still be partying when baby bush kicks the bucket. It absolutely would've been better if he'd been held accountable for his crimes, but short of that, I'll still be glad to learn that I no longer share this planet with that cretin. I'll take what I can get.

i don't think gelatin is vegetarian since it's made from bone or skin. not that it matters a whole ton for this quip but just a fun fact

like damnit

i changed my mind, yes absolutely

makes me agnry

This makes a lot of sense. I appreciate your response, and that "he didn't matter any more" thing made a sense.

I do have to admit that Reagan takes a lot of space in my head. I keep learning about bad things which are new to me, and I constantly find a throughline which runs through Reagan. It's not super often there's one guy you can point to for so many bad things.

Hey, past me. I was drafting a post titled "These SCIENCE BASTARDS failed to CITE their SOURCES (jstpst.net) [Aaaaaa]" when I found that you already pointed this out. Thanks, my beloved. I love you. I will kiss you.

i still do

This reads like an attempt at deflection by self-deprecation to me, so I'll say that we all have a duty to uphold justice in every aspect of our lives. We may be fallible by nature, but that doesn't excuse us from trying to be better. I doubt you really think of yourself as a bad person, but in case you do - what are you doing to be better? Shrugging your shoulders and saying "well, I guess I'm not a good person then" doesn't absolve you.

Forgive my bluntness, but the animals are suffering and dying on an unimaginable scale. Going vegan isn't a "personal choice" - it's a moral necessity.

Then, Reagan died a slow, horrible death from Alzheimers. I would anticipate gay celebration of cosmic justice, but I see none. Why?

Lots of reasons I suspect, but for one it’s because there was no justice there. He lived a long, full life before he died a horrible lingering death - that he would have died from no matter his actions. That’s not justice.

Now if he had caught AIDS (even if from medical contamination) and then died due to medical research having been hampered by his administration? That would have been cosmic justice and I would have laughed my ass off.

I still wouldn’t have celebrated in any traditional sense though. By the time he died he was irrelevant. For all the people he had hurt in his life he just didn’t matter anymore, and I try not to waste my emotional budget on people who don’t matter. Likewise, if Trump dies now I would throw a party, but because we are actively fighting him and it would actually be a meaningful victory - even if provided by the cosmos. Once out of power I don’t need to give him that rent free space in my head.

"How does this taste so much like meat? Well, the egg binder and gelatin probably helps."

not trying to worry people but maybe i'm a workaholic??? maybe i need to work through lunch every single day??? it's an important consideration
