  • I used to do this when we had more than one dog. I also like to say “Don’t play too much Nintendo, clean your rooms, and I left a twenty on the counter for pizza when you get hungry” because I like to pretend its still 1996.

    I’ll keep the orange tip in mind for when my last old girl eventually crosses the rainbow bridge, because I definitely want cats next after having doggos for the past 15 years.


  • Yeah I also love spicy food, from “moderate spicy” to “crazy spicy”. My husband surprised me with the Buldak Ramen that went viral for a second for being banned in Finland or Denmark or whatever. I ate all four of the packs after a time, but never repurchased.

    But I like your comment because you highlight how hot sauces are a mixed bag. My all time favorite hot sauces are usually habanero based, despite that not being the world’s hottest pepper. They’re just like…the perfect general kick of spice.

    I also tend to prefer certain hot sauces for certain things. Nando’s Extra Hot is fucking GOAT for all fried chicken things. Fast food nuggets/tenders, fried chicken breasts/wings, homemade fried chicken, there just isn’t a better sauce. I go through the large bottles easy. It just has that spicy tang that elevates chicken specifically, which makes sense because that’s what Nando’s is known for.

    But then my favorite for topping pizza, or quesadillas, or mac and cheese or anything “cheesy” is Mad Dog 57. I find it hot to the point of discomfort unless the dairy is there to mitigate some of the heat. Its fire with anything cheese though.

    But a good habanero spread on a sandwich, or a habanero based sauce drizzled over fries or breakfast tacos or eggs or like…pretty much anything? Chef’s Kiss Fucking perfection.


  • I canceled my Hilton Honors account.

    Fuck they were SO GOOD for pet friendly travel.

    But wherever there was a Hilton Garden Inn there’s USUALLY a Hyatt Place too, and they are also pretty reliably pet friendly. Not owned by the same people either, I checked.

    Until I discover what they’ve done wrong as I’m sure its something.



  • Maybe I’m more optimistic than I should be, but I kind of think its less of a “this affected me and now its a problem” and more of a “this affected me, it sucked, and now I dont want it to happen to anyone else”.

    Like, of course she should have woken up sooner, but she could have suffered, been quiet about it, and just let it happen to other people as well. Maybe Im not as cynical as I thought I was.

    Bruh, yes, I know exactly what you mean. I’m actually getting ready to replay D:BH again because the last time I played was about 1.5+ years ago, and I think I’ve finally forgotten all my decisions. My husband said I got one of the best endings he’s ever seen someone get, and I really didn’t want to be tempted to answer everything the same. There’s SO MANY ways that game can go/end, and I want to explore them all!

    I made the mistake of playing Until Dawn first, then D:BH, and then I downloaded the Dark Pictures Anthology and played 2 out of the 4 of those. I’m sure those would have hit different had I played them first, but knowing that the ending is ultimately the same no matter which direction you go definitely ruins the replayability. All 4 run into the very issue you were worried about with Detroit.



  • So she’s actually as repugnant as he is, and her views are just as bad. I can’t remember her name and I can’t be bothered to look it up because fuck her, but she’s a minor influencer in the Conservative sphere. She goes on the streets and does those stupid shock value “interviews” with strangers.

    For anyone curious, this is from a series that a Lefty political commentator, Luke Beasley, did, where he and her sat together and tried to have measured discussions about their views. It was interesting, but it only went on for about 6 episodes, and it was rocky the entire way.

    Its all up on YouTube. And I watched. And despite her showing the smallest glimmer of understanding occasionally, she ultimately could not be convinced to change her views. It didnt help that her vile ass husband was behind the camera the entire time.

    Lastly, her husband didnt overtly say the above quote verbatim, but it was definitely heavily implied. This wasn’t putting words in his mouth, its a legit view he has.




  • I’ll have to read it! We just moved to NorCal and joined our local library, so I’m sure I can find it there! If not, the Libby app!

    My husband and I did the drive to Reno over Halloween weekend, and we went over Donner Pass.

    Lemme tell you if you’ve never been, that section of the US is breathtakingly beautiful, but I could ALSO see how it is devastatingly, oppressively terrifying. And that was even with clear roads and little mountain towns sprinkled around. I got chills thinking about if there was nothing except chest deep snow, dying fires, and blankets to keep warm.




  • Idk, after Tuesday, I started to get a little hopeful for the 2026 midterms. If we can keep up the same energy, we can massively slow down this fucking crazy train long enough to course correct or at the very least kick the can down the road (and hopefully use that time to install better minority protections/progressive policies)

    But if we fuck up the 2026 mid terms? Oh yeah. Democracy in America is fucking DONE.


  • Truth. 3 years ago my “New Years Resolution” was to floss every day.

    I knew I was going to have to make it obscenely easy to do in order for me to stick with it.

    I do a suuuuuper quick run through every morning with a disposable pick BEFORE I brush, and my annual dental visits since have been night and day. I really don’t even have to try very hard and my gums don’t bleed anymore either!

    Its about taking better care of your mouth - not perfect care.
