  1. 😔 i just pulled my smallest can barely button this motherfucker sport coat off the hanger and put it on. it is very large. also the barbour. and my little patagonia jacket. fuck.
  2. Yeah I think that one scene is like being able to see through a briefly open door. It tells you a bit about that character, you can try and understand how that part of his life works with the rest of his life and drives his fears and motivations and actions and etc, but it also gives you a sense of scale. Like Twice said, there’s no main character. Everyone in this show has their own shit going on. Everyone you meet out in the world is the tip of an iceberg.
  3. I miss Mister Tramps Do we have a pedophile thread?
  4. I googled draoi to see if it was some kind of tobacco
  5. She’s now experimenting. Bao pepperoni rolls are 👌 pb+j is great too
  6. Ask your pastor
  7. I stopped counting calories and haven't been tracking my protein, but my normal breakfast alone is 42g it looks like - about a cup of cottage cheese, 2 eggs, a couple of those walla crispbreads. hot sauce. But I'm fairly weird in that I really like cottage cheese.
  8. well he didn't say how he takes it in
  9. inviting surly conservatives back into the political discussion with a freak off is a good way for immamac to get his servers seized by the fbi
  10. Those scooters are fucking everywhere in my burb with the kids riding them. Not a fan, it seems very likely that it's a matter of time before locally I'm hearing about a fatality of some kid on one of these things.
  11. When we moved to the Raleigh area I obviously changed dentists. The new office sold me on invisalign, which wasn't hard to make me believe I needed (nobody made me wear my retainer after my mom died) although I did circle around to make sure they were recommending it for my dental health rather than for cosmetics. Then one day I went in and there was a new dentist and she explained I needed an expensive mouthguard and they started doing all the stuff and eventually I asked how this works with the invisalign retainers and she said 'oh you've had invisalign' and at that immediately broke any trust I had with that office (which is a corporate office with many locations across the triangle). I never went back, found a small local practice and we moved the kids to a different pediatric office and my wife got a new dentist as well. I don't track news about the dental industry, but when I decided to get a new dentist, I did specifically decide I would find a local practice run by the dentists with a couple of last names on the front of the building like every practice I went to growing up. It was interesting how few options like that there were - it seems like most of the places around here are run as part of larger operations and it would not be hard to convince me that there has been a movement towards this type of structure and that practices of this type push more of these products and procedures.
  12. NoCa(rolina). Wegmans is good in comparison but goddamn it sucks
  13. I was thinking of doing a rewatch on s1 true detective but maybe I’ll just turn on the fucking news
  14. I’m genuinely excited to hear the record. Albini was great but one of the things he was most naturally talented at was being an enormous asshole. I think especially for young bands and songwriters, a really great producer can help them level up enormously. Just that collaboration and feedback and insight, if it’s a good relationship you can learn so much that you don’t really pick up from a lot of other places.
  15. I don’t know when I decided i didn’t care that much about guitar acrobatics, but it was high school at least. It can be fun but I don’t care that much, and I’d pick songwriting talent over instrumental talent every time. playing in a band, I think we fed off of our lead singer’s insecurity - he’s a shitty musician and a shitty singer so he’d go crazy and climb the rafters and swing the mic and come out in a Halloween costume and OK that’s the deal - we’re putting on a show whether the music is good or not. I think we did have enough talent to come up with parts and duct tape them together into songs with very little idea of what we were doing. The first time we worked with a real producer who pointed out where our hooks were and applied labels to the different parts we repeated and made suggestions about why did things a certain way or why are we even doing this part (…. yeah we all hate it, it’s just that’s where we play it? We don’t have to?) was a revelation. I’m all about the little tasty hook nuggets and getting the proportions right. Not saying I’m great at it, but I love little melodies and counter melodies and trying to find a way to always have something you could whistle happening somewhere.
  16. new dale sounds like dale doing a comic book store guy impersonation
  17. I tried a few different things before settling on wayfarer style frames back in college. My first pair of actual ray bans were buried at sea in Lake Travis, although it's possible that wherever that was is no longer underwater. The next pair (black, green lenses) is 10 years old and are in my glovebox as my backup shades. I bought a pair of tortoiseshell/brown lens wayfarers maybe 2 years ago when I temporarily misplaced the other pair, they remain my primary sunglasses. I think I slightly prefer the brown lenses, although really you just adjust to whatever you're used to. I think we're supposed to hate luxotica and feel strongly about the corporate structure about sunglass manufacturers, but I don't really care. I can perceive no difference whatsoever other than color between my old pair and my new pair.
  18. I always want to do YTTV because it is so much better than Sling. And then Sling has some stupid deal that makes it much cheaper. So, I'm hoping that Sling in fact does not have a deal this year.
  19. Saw it today with no awareness of what it was at all. They could have taken 40 minutes out and it would have been better. I enjoyed it but won’t think about it nearly as much as Midsommar etc. for the above, I did think they did a good job of having her continue her psychotic rambling to nobody in particular back at the house - yeah it’s a stretch but as a joke, the idea that they simply take the crazy online lady and put her in makeup and a skirt and she’s a Boebert is a good gag. And it did seem very clear to me that Lou’s dad was her abuser.
  20. It’s also an issue that “facts have a liberal bias” has gone from some smug asshole thing to say to a real problem where you can’t present both “viewpoints” while adhering to any of the core principles of journalism.
  21. Effortless fit man we had some great weather today. Impromptu park picnic, I can’t wait till fall
