I wish I had record of it.

They had reached out to me after years of no contact to catch up and we chatted back and forth for a day just telling each other what was new in our lives and how good it was to talk after so lomg. Then immediately after, they cut me off completely for the last few years of their life. I’ll never know exactly why, but I suspect they just didn’t want to burden me and others with all the things they were struggling with (a string of bad luck so uniquely terrible anyone that knew them would know who I was talking about if I said everything I knew about here).

A couple months before they passed, they completely dropped off the face of the earth and their Facebook was hacked. When whoever now owned the account got tipped off that I knew they were a scammer, they blocked me and I lost all of our message history.

I have never hated a complete stranger more than whoever this person is.

Is this… a Cloverfield meme?

Ok, just in case anyone else had the same thought, this is not the podcaster and oldest brother of Travis and Griffin McElroy. This is just a dude that does sick commissioned art.

I picked up a love of curry sauce or garlic sauce on my fries during my time living in London.

Those folks do fast food right - cheap, easy to find, and greasy.

Well, for one, the 18 deaths I imagine are only the ones they know about. Like most info that puts them in a bad light, I don’t think the IDF would be very forthcoming with the actual numbers.

Might have misunderstood the wording - unless you do a lot of sleeping during working hours?

Of water, right?

Right?

I’ve heard there have been studies that indicate that in some part modern allergies are our bodies directing an evolved immune response that we once needed for all the parasites we constantly carried. They gave parasites to people that had certain food allergies and suddenly their food allergies were just straight up gone.

We’ve been using famcal for this for years and it works pretty well. There’s probably better, more robust options out there, but it’s free and does everything we need it to so no complaints

Is this the bite of 87?

I heard he pees his pants because he likes the warm feeling on his legs.

As Bobby Newport pls

Mf telling us to stop framing cauliflower in the context of different food n calls it albino broccoli, smh my head

Imagine unironically using the words “good thing” to describe a number of civilian casualties above 0, let alone above half of total casualties.

That’s wild man.

Civilian casualties of war aren’t just a statistic. Those are real people that just wanted to live happy lives. Less than 1% of any number over 100 is a number I’m not happy about, and anyone with a heart should be furious about the number of civilians dying in Gaza. Especially when those numbers are such a high percentage. If you can’t fight a war without that kind of casualty count, then you either don’t fight the war or you accept that what you are doing is a genocide, not a war. IDF has very clearly made their choice on this.

How much of that is because there just aren’t as many left for them to kill? If they started out at non-combatant numbers above SIXTY PERCENT that means they were killing more women and children than anyone else…

Eventually that pesky problem of killing non-combatants just fixes itself when there’s none left to kill, doesn’t it?

Oh man, I feel your pain… I was in general customer-facing support for three different enterprise security/identity service providers from 2014 until a year ago. That shit was torturous sometimes. Now with that third of those three I’m the dedicated guy for just two of our larger customers and it’s fuckin great compared to that. Always dealing with the same handful of very very competent people is so refreshing.

Over/under on how many days til they start bombing Al-Mawasi?

ETA: again. Start bombing Al-Mawasi again.

Never take time for granted - expect you’ll have less of it than you want or need.

It can really help with getting priorities straight - whether that’s with work or with your personal life. Where is it exactly you want to spend the most valuable and limited resource you have? Your time?

shit

Broccoli and lutefisk, why do you ask?
