My 6 year old has never played or seen a video game.

I take her to the beach, playdates at the park with friends, we go mountain biking, etc. Hearing your stories makes my flesh crawl

Yes, then they become toddlers and anything besides pizza or chicken nuggets is you trying to poison them

Babies can eat knives if they’re brave enough

“What could a banana possibly cost Michael? $10?”

It’s really not that difficult to not buy from Walmart and Amazon. I’m not saying any retailer is ideologically pure and chill across the board but mom and pop shops sell 95% of what they do and the money stays in your community

A lot of this shit is affected by what you eat. If I eat a lot of sugar and gluten it definitely affects my skin and dandruff 2-3 days later.

Besides what a lot of people said, try to stick to foods that don’t cause inflammation or reactions.

The Last Seduction

JIS is more common on Japanese machines, ie Japanese cars and motorcycles. When I was a bike mechanic you used JIS for Shimano derailleur adjustment screws. Even tho a Phillips “fit” it would destroy the screw.

I actually can’t tell them apart from sight truth be told, but I’m also not wrenching anymore (not to mention the cycling industry largely moved on to hex and torx)

No mention of JIS which is yet another “fuck Phillips” argument

Drove through there (Boring) an hour ago. It’s a cute place

I travel through Boring Oregon (just outside of Portland) who’s sister city is Dull, so I guess that’s me

A friend of mine bought a house for $40k under market because a murder suicide happened there the year before.

He said, “that sucks, but it’s not like I knew them or anything”

These… weren’t Brian’s books

Messiah is good

Children is decent but spotty

God Emperor is essentially a fever dream. I was like WTF while reading it but I love how off the rails it went.

The last couple are kind of meandering and forgettable.

The immediate prequels (house books) are a fun read and plotted well, but his kid isn’t as good of a writer as poppa Herbert

The legends books are garbage

The last 2 books that tie up the original series (hunters and sandworms) are not good and are infuriating in that elements from the legends books are reintroduced as deus ex machina bullshit. I saw the twist coming halfway through the last book.

I never read any of the other gap filler books that have been written in that universe. It got tiresome

Everything up until God Emperor is worthwhile with the prequels being a fun appetizer. Read the synopses of the others if you need to know what happens

The head guy self published something like a dozen AI generated books that he’s selling on Amazon too

Even so, my friend’s ti bike has stains on it that he can’t get out sort of polishing/ brushing it

Great quote, but this isn’t really a children’s movie

Instagram is absolute garbage compared to how it used to be. It’s still massive. Once people are hooked, it’s hard to wean them off. People were livid at reddit, but only a fraction of those who spoke up are here

Strap in. It’s an election year

Bought mine in 2017. Mine is double. It makes zero sense
