The Cabela's I went to in Richmond had a fucking full-blown fishtank with a waterfall! But, yes, lots of taxidermy.

It was fucking marvellous!!!!!!

Important question, in full drag?

[Uncle]

does anyone else get that thing where it feels like clicking a link isn't working so you get enraged and assume something is fucked with that specific tab so you open it in a new tab and close the old one and it still takes a while but at least you're confident in the knowledge that it's a new clean process

I had one of those random thoughts. Whatever happened to Certs and what the hell was Retsyn? Thanks to the internet I found out....

Certs were classified as mints, but they contained no oils of any mint plant. Instead, as has long been advertised, the mints contain "Retsyn," a trademarked name for a mixture of copper gluconate, partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil, and flavoring. It is the copper gluconate in Retsyn which gives Certs its signature green flecks.

It was discontinued for having partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil, which is not allowed as an ingredient in food sold in the United States since 2018

Retsyn is one of the funniest things ever done by any company imo.

had to fuck around in a dusty storage warehouse today and I feel like I ingested some deadly spores or something

12 hours later and I feel like I still smell it, like a heaviness in my airways and some brainfog

Go into a public restroom stall and see somebody left pills on the counter. Being curious, I translate the package and it’s some sort of herbal dick pill. Leave the stall, see some kid waiting to go in. Go and wash my hands. The kid runs out of the stall holding the pills saying “old man, you forgot these.” Other guys in the restroom start laughing.

Can we get universal basic income up in this shit soon? I want to move somewhere less warm and sticky, and draw.

Most major UBI proposals are less than existing welfare. The funniest part to me is how many include sales taxes to help pay for it. (Most US focused UBI proposals are merely negative income taxes because there's few other methods it could work.)

This is one of those stories Mandark always insisted I'm making up but I had a well-published political science professor not understand me when I tried to explain that sales taxes reduce welfare benefits by returning the money to the state. (The context was measuring relative benefits between states when one state had a 40% sales tax and another had a 5% one. I felt the slight difference between them disappeared when factoring in the massive sales tax anyone in the first state would pay that those in the second would not.) He's also not the only one I've run into who seem to think the wealthy pay sales taxes more when sales taxes only hit the middle and lower classes. (As an additional problem, the wealthy can also afford to import.)

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

I never understood was so fanciful about professors being complete morons about things outside their field that they assume they are experts about.

[Nintex]

40% sales taxes is like 40% inflation. It would instantly murder the economy.

I never care about my partner working and being busy. 

Somehow today I asked for something, which I really don't care about them doing or not. I always said IF you can do it.  They said they cant.

I'm mad for some reason, like I'm mad typing this stupid shit out cause I know I shouldn't be mad. 

what the fuck? 


I'd be happier if they said ok and then didn't do it, which has happened before. 

what the fuck?

You should look them in the eye and say: "Look if Uncle is willing to move across the world to jerk of Jansen, why can't you do this one thing for me?" and stay silent until they answer.

I got one of those Google surveys on my phone for identifying businesses so they can tell how well their system is matching them. Three of the four were abandoned buildings or empty storefronts. Yeah, I guess that's the "same business" still there.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

I went to get some fried chicken from publix to stuff my fat potatoe face. 

There was this clear IG/OF model buying whatever in a skin tight body suit. 

I made sure to ignore her.  We kept meeting at every other junction and she kept trying to eye fuck me for attention.

Go away.

That’s not a nice thing to say about your own mother.

Place I was having lunch earlier had a loop of Tina Turner's Private Dancer playing for the 20 minutes I was there. But a custom loop of only the ending, presumably, the owner made in Audacity. First place I left a review for on Google. Five stars.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

I keep waking with real names of people from my dreams.

[MMaRsu]

Smh fml

[Snoopy]

NASA claim the sun is too hot for astronauts to land on. Why don't they just go at night?

[chronovore]

Yeah, don’t do that.

[MMaRsu]

She barely texts me back, I dont even know why Im texting her Besides I wanna get closer to her but she's already taken 🫨

But she does text me back, even if its just friendly, I dont care I just want her attention 🫣

She even said sorry for not responding quickly when Im like she doesnt even have to text me so why would she even say sorry. Could be just a polite thing. 

Fml i hate it.

On the other hand Ive been working out again, a bit, and am planning to change up my diet. i wanna get rid of this fat gut Ive developed the past two years. Like Im not super fat but Ive got a bit of manboobs / beer gut going on.

Im just gonna excercise, do walks/runs and use weights to get myself in better shape.

All in all it can only help my pretty mediocre self image. 
Even if I wint get the girl It'll at least feel better about myself

[Polident]

Weight training is a must. You don’t need to go full body fascist. Just some basics to target each group and movement. People I know who lost weight by strict dieting and cardio tend to bounce back. Those are important, but building a strong foundation keeps it sustainable.
