  1. I’m making tortillas tonight and I saw a full thing of tomatillos at the store, so I decided to get my ninfa on.
  2. I think there are a lot of people who have internalized the values of the world's fattest 6'3" 215 pounder and are simply dishonest as part of who they are. Much bigger category of people can't deal with the cognitive dissonance between what they believe to be true about their moral selves and their own role in creating Trump and what that has done to America. If you can clutch your pearls and latch on to indignation that people might somehow connect Trump to stalwart members of the party that he leads, you can avoid thinking about that altogether. You can even describe yourself as independent to sever that connection in your head while making no other changes at all. you could read the above and also latch on to something something "holier than thou" as one other subconscious tactic to avoid dealing with your own internal inconsistencies. the fact is that people of every kind do stupid things and act against what they know to be right and make unfortunate choices, etc etc etc. that is a part of being human that is consistent for everyone. part of being wise is remaining open to your own failures and revising your views and even values as you learn more
  3. fuck we should have gotten him to join the shaggy guitar tontine
  4. what do you mean by "you all people" as this is the non-political news thread, for folks who have a difficult time keeping up with the news has there been any indication of when one of the trials could get underway? Quick google indicates that one of the Trump codefendants in the Georgia one just got a date set for Oct 23 - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-trial-date-fulton-county-georgia-fani-willis-proposal-october-23/ - is it at all likely that Trump's trial will start on a similar timeline?
  5. going to Walmart:being a functional adult::attending an open mic:being an accomplished singer/songwriter
  6. It’s been 4 years since they unveiled the cyber truck, I feel like it’s already due for a facelift.

    Is Punk Dead?

    i'm firmly a neighborhood dad at this point but I did some digging on who wrote the song for arguably the most punk rock comedy sketch of the year... which turned out to be Turnstile, who I think is actually one of the bigger current hardcore punk bands. Very different than the hardcore punk stuff that was around when I was coming up and definitely also true for you fuckin sst/dischord geezers but I kinda dig it

    Is Punk Dead?

    What is punk anyways? Obviously "punk" the style of made by people looking at the overpolished rock and stale hippy shit in the 70s and saying "fuck you" is now stale and has already completed the whole cycle of evolving into Creed and Nickelback twenty five fucking years ago. I'm not nearly connected enough with the children to intelligently comment on what punk rock kids are creating and listening to now but I have no doubt that they continue to exist and continue to do punk rock things. By which I mean, make raw creative anti authoritarian music that sounds fresh to them.
  10. Part of my problem with this one (upon hearing the pronunciation of “Rust”) is my deep need to not just recognize potential puns, but say them out loud.
  11. I think I said this upthread, but when I got caught in covid downsizing in 2020, the main helpful thing provided by the outsourcing group was the resume review. I didn't do a big analysis of it but I definitely felt like there was an uptick in responses and callbacks from when I started making the changes suggested.
  12. i went on a tear of reading business books last year, and one of the Adam Grant ones (feels like probably "Originals") he discusses the power of procrastinating or leaving stuff until the last minute. Chiefly the thing I am remembering is the idea that, the brain doesn't just stop working on something in the period between when you set it down and you pick it up again, and that is often a negative for "getting the assignment done early" - you missed a big window for your brain to be chewing on the thing in the background. I don't think that month 1 is going to be anything much for me - it'll probably pretty cookie cutter and uninteresting. That said, I'm enjoying the rediscovery of hammering on something for a while and being frustrated, walking away, picking it back up the next day and getting the version you were trying to find on the first try.
  13. Noodling with a fun little Am hook last night and then I woke up this morning with King of Oklahoma stuck in my head. oh…..
  14. as someone who did some dreaming and some touring and some alcoholicing, these all hit me square in the dick
  15. how many screws were in her pickguard i can't quite tell
  16. ok it's looking like Sling offers a "pay up front for 5 months" Season Pass promotion which is the economical choice. Missing local channels, but it looks like includes LHN, and I have an antenna. I need to refine this a bit but rough numbers
