Just once, I'd like some good news.

Funny you should use that picture!

One of the things I've discovered in life is that you can safely write off the opinion of anyone who says "all you gotta do is" when explaining their solution to any longstanding problem.

If it was simple, it would have been done already, and if someone can't see that, they're probably an idiot.

I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well

Seriously. Bring back boring, out of touch bureaucrats in government positions!

(Aldi's is your friend.)

Cramer is a financial oracle... just not the way he thinks.

Once you've had artisanal gasoline, it's hard to go back to the Texaco stuff, you know?

*endless screaming*

I don't think I've ever had fresh bay leaves! It makes sense that they would be a lot better.

Sunday afternoon soundtrack:

Saturday evening soundtrack:

Rothko's paintings. The novels of Paul Auster, Don Delillo, and William Burroughs. Rush's music. Any piece of media starring Zooey Deschanel. (I feel like her entire 2010s aestheric was made in a lab in an attempt to attract me personally, but for some reason it just grates on me to no end.)

I liked the first one but found the second one interminable.

Could have used a member of the German general staff as well. Many such cases.

Being targets for Iranian missiles, rockets, and drones, mostly.

Ahh yes, the coward's edit button. My Poster's Bushido does not allow the use of such techniques. Gotta be direct from brain to fingers.
