Every American made car I’ve owned has been a piece of shit constantly falling apart and needing repair and maintenance. I thought that’s just how cars were for a while. Then I started buying Asian and German cars and realized Americans just can’t make a good car.

US politics. It all just sucks. I’d rather not live in interesting times

Best Bloody Mary I had was in NOLA and it wasn’t a meat and cheese bouquet, but garnished with various pickles that actually complimented and added depth to the drink. I don’t think a Bloody Mary should be a meal, if I wanted a meal, I’d order one.

I’m with you on the celery and veg, (and most anything pickled) but I don’t want meat or fried things in my cocktails. But horses for courses and what not so you enjoy your bacon booze.

The chicken wings were on a skewer stuck in the drink. I think I got a picture of the monstrosity somewhere and if I can remember to look for it, I’ll reply with it. It was an impressive amount of food for a cocktail order haha!

Ordered a Bloody Mary at an airport bar. Dude said “it comes with a chicken wing, you want it?” “Well, if it comes with it…”

Fucking thing was a meal. Had two big chicken wings, fried onion rings, tomato, pickle, all sorts of nonsense on a stick.

I’m all for a Bloody Mary with pickles and stuff, but, like, keep it simple. A pickle spear, some pearl onions, some spicy green beans, nothing crazy like this.

Also, bacon? C’mon get that greasy shit out of my cocktail!

I’m off that week so I predict I’ll be pretty drunk regardless of the result

You can wear a mask. I bring one with me on public transit or other places I expect a lot of people in close proximity.

Men, women and everyone in between.

Also, crop tops kick ass in the summer. Breezy…

It’s all about attitude.

I got a belly and I get a lot of positive attention when I rock a crop top.

Ah Paradox is finding their model of releasing unfinished games and getting around to solving it later less appealing!

That is a little disappointing, actually, as Paradox made some damn good games this way. Crusader Kings 2, Hearts of Iron 4 and Stellaris were all made like that.

It depends on the context of the ban.

I’m okay with ostracizing shitty people and I don’t think there needs to be empirical law defining what makes someone shitty.

Ali Express does the same thing.

Facebook and it’s ilk are the reason I moved away from other forms of social media and internet community.

Working with them in any form seems like a great way to poison the waters if the fediverse.

There should be zero collaboration.

Dudes not even from Idaho, but Illinois

LLM content isn’t allowed here, I thought?

Katz pastrami is some of the best, imo. I’m sure you can find a small Jewish deli that does a better one off the beaten path, but it’s hard to beat Katz!

AI job matching… what a stupid hellscape we are building for ourselves to be crushed under

I do not care for that show.

But I might rewatch the aughts BSG

I rotate between all of em.

Except Picard and Disco…

Hell fucking yeah I love weed and sex

Let’s hear it for weed and sex!!!
