TBF it only started because Letterman got fucked over and CBS wanted to compete with the Tonight Show. It’s been around for a long time but not nearly as long as – okay I’m old.

Hey man, congrats. I keep an eye out for ya every day. Your journey has been cool to watch. What a fun milestone!

Finally!! This movie NEVER comes up but I absolutely love Peggy Sue Got Married (1986). Fucking classic and he’s great in it.

Okay he’s not the lead but he’s like the main co-star.

Love love love this movie

I grew up on well water that smelled like sulfur and was sometimes unsafe to drink.

The water fountains at school were HEAVILY chlorinated.

Water just wasn’t really an option growing up or if it was you had to mask the taste with Koolaid or something.

I don’t crave it. I’m not in the habit of drinking plain water. I have a zero water system now and I drink it a lot more but some people either have an access issue or never developed the habit due to similar factors as me.

People dressing up as handmaids from The Handmaid’s Tale are typically dressed that way as a form of protest against the conditions that would lead to Handmaid’s Tale becoming a reality. Which is typically anti-Christian nationalism but can also include anti-MAGA/Trump which …the lines there are blurry at best.

The “No Kings” protest was anti-Trump. Do with that what you will.

You underestimate how much of a couch potato I am. Not moving is normal lol.

ITT: no cult scholars. I am not one either.

I watch a lot of Knitting Cult Lady’s content and I’ve read her book. From that I have a pretty good idea of what a cult is, which is an extreme form of group.

So I guess the opposite of a cult would be a solitary individual.

One point I keep seeing in these comments is religion. Religion isn’t a cult, it’s an idea. That ideology can be used by cults, but the idea itself isn’t a cult. You can believe the idea all by yourself you don’t HAVE to be part of the group.

Yes [insert religious group you’re thinking of] is probably a cult. But it isn’t one because of the idea, it’s one because of controlling behavior and exploited labor and a bunch of other reasons.

Game on the right but that’s because my right monitor is the good monitor. The left one is a glorified TV.

Sorry. I laughed from your comment. Doctors tell women blacking out from menstrual pain is perfectly normal.

Didn’t mean to distract from your message, you’re absolutely right.

Insert picture of a modern newspaper page with 3 visible sentences of text and the rest is begging for subscriptions, sponsored content, straight up ads, and other bullshit.

Connect. I just like it. I tried all of the other apps available during the API exodus and settled on Connect. Functions most similarly to how I had Reddit is Fun set up.

1,2,3 and 5 are acceptable. The rest are abominations.

Not OP. Former NPS employee. Cairns are NOT used to mark trails in national parks. Stacking cairns in a national park is considered vandalism and you should not be doing it the same way you should not be scratching your name into goddamn rocks.

The practice of stacking cairns is so out of control I do not recommend you ever follow one on state or other lands. It is a good way to get lost following some influencer’s a.e.s.t.h.e.t.i.c pile.

The only acceptable location for a cairn is a high energy beach environment so that the sea can wipe it away in a couple of hours.

National parks are intended to be enjoyed as close to natural as possible. Leave. No. Trace.

I have this roasted garlic paprika blend I really love and use as a shortcut for a lot of dishes. It’s got other spices too but it’s just delicious. I think it is McCormick.

My next favorites are Johnny’s seasoning salt, black pepper, garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, basil, Italian seasoning. All of these would go in a vegetable soup.

MSG is also nice in moderation. And cinnamon for sweet things of course.

Yes! The hit-or-miss flavor was terrible.

This reminds me of Swish. Did anyone else have Swish growing up?

It was this program and I think they did it because like the entire community was on well water. Once a month they came into our school and had us rinse our mouths with this really high fluoride mouthwash. We had to swish it for like 2 whole minutes or something that seemed like a long time as a child.

It was probably the only thing that saved my teeth growing up (neglectful parents).

I get that. Where i grew up theres stuff I find normal that makes visitors cry. Then I go elsewhere and my mind is blown. People crave novelty.

The movie In Time (2011). The premise was interesting but I can’t even remember the plot because it was so meh.

I also think Idiocracy could have been better. It had good moments, and that’s what most people remember, but the overall cohesiveness falls flat. Great moments, iconic scenes, but could have been a better film.
