  1. This is my experience as well and I also grew up in rural farmland. My experience with vegans, or people considering it, is also similar with most that I've met wanting meat substitutes. Speaking only for my non-vegan self, I like a good bean burger for what it is but an impossible burger is just so much more what I usually want and that is heavily processed and not healthy. I've dabbled with different vegetarian persuasions but I always end up coming back to meat, provided that it is cruelty free, or at least much less cruel, I mean nature is ****ing cruel as **** but that doesn't mean we have to be.
  2. I voted but it's not really a question on which way my state is going to go.
  3. My wife isn't a big fan of shrimp but she always eats a few when I make them but rarely wants much of her own. Usually because it doesn't go with her wine and that's how she likes to plan meals, around the wine. My son claims to love shrimp for some reason because he never eats it when it's actually offered and I'm pretty sure my daughter is a Loki variant. I make them several ways but my favorite is just in a broth of wine, butter, garlic, parsley, kalamata olives, and lemon juice. It was a recipe that my mom used to make for me when I was a kid. I serve it with a big chunk of bread but the kids just like the bread. I typically get shell off and deveined raw shrimp but it depends on what I'm making. Sometimes I'll get them shell on and peel them myself but since nobody here really loves shrimp I feel like that's effort for nothing.
  4. I skipped Midnight Suns because of the deck building but I may give it a shot eventually. I have it from some Humble bundles but haven't bothered redeeming it yet. The problem for me is that I have so many games that are pretty close to exactly what I want that I don't really feel the need to really experiment with new things or things I'm on the fence about. I have more games than I have time to play them.
  5. The next 3 closest ones to me closed. We used to go on or around her birthday. I did end up making shrimp and just finished eating, well, when I started typing this a couple hours ago. The kids hated it and my wife isn't a big fan so I finished everyone's plates. They humor me only so far.
  6. I'm on the fence about the Pathfinder game and the Pirate game from the BattleTech/Shadowrun guy. I'll probably end up backing both and then never playing either, as is my way.
  7. I have a phone. I got it to play some Blizzard game way back when but then forgot about it. Maybe I can finally use it.
  8. I gave up on this a while back but can't say I'm not enjoying watching this somehow get spectacularly worse with each update
  9. Been a minute but I've been loving the new DLC. I didn't even have to Miracle Max it as it was only slightly broken at launch and there have already been a handful of patches to fix everything.
  10. I went to watch it but I could only rent it for 25 tax non-inclusive warbucks or buy it for 30 tax non-inclusive warbucks. It was free on the plane ride home from Germany but I wasn't in a position to watch it because I was in the middle seat with a baby on my lap and a wife on one shoulder and a son-a-tron on the other.
  11. It's my mom's birthday and we can't even go to Red Lobster like we usually do. Maybe I'll make shrimp at home.
  12. Heading home tomorrow. I've probably gained 10 pounds but also lowered my blood pressure because these people have not heard of salt or really many spices
  13. A dirty NYC cop??? I never would have thought
  14. I never had any luck with other chiropractors and stopped looking
  15. I've had one really good experience with a chiropractor. He was really good and referred me to a good physical therapist and also had some notes for me to bring up with my primary care doctors. They also had an in house masseuse which was super nice and convenient. Then I moved away and lost that.
  16. Downloading Void Shadows. Hopefully it's not terribly broken.
  17. My son's school has been getting threats that someone will sound the fire alarm and then start attacking when the kids leave the rooms. What's wrong with people?
  18. I just hurt my back opening a bottle. So embarrassing that I had to share it with the world.
  19. That sounds about right. Our complex had 40 units in total and we never got more than like 12 people to show up and vote. Most were couples so it was only like 7 votes out of 40. The worst part was you could fill out an absentee voting ballot but nobody ever did.
  20. Palms out, I can't do nearly as many relying mostly on arm strength. 6-10 maybe.
  21. The Air BNB we're staying at has a pull up bar and my wife was egging me on to do pull ups and I still kinda got it. I can still do L sit pull ups and behind the neck as well, even though that can be rough on rotator cuffs. I can't do them forever like I used to because I'm old and not in fighting shape but just proud of myself that I can still crank out 10 to 20 pull ups in my 40s after not doing them for a couple of years. I mostly just do pushups now, gravity is heavy. /brag
