Yeah, an RFK Jr endorsement isn't going to do much for the Republican's weirdness problem.

Yeah, I'm just a little drunk rambling in my post but thanks for the genuine feedback. My mom randomly developed an allergy to mango in her 30s, which I always thought was weird and terrifying. I'm lactose intolerant but I can't imagine being actually allergic to dairy like at least one kid in my son's class is. I love cheese despite the pain and carnage.

Grilled some bacon wrapped pork sausages, sweet peppers, and tomatoes. I washed it down with a strawberry margarita.

What You've Done Today - Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
Son just finished his first week of kindergarten and they sent out an allergy sheet for the kids allergies in his class specifically. It's a class of like 20 and the list of forbidden allergens has like 10 things on it. Like sorry dude, good luck eating at school. I always thought that was over exaggerated but now I see it is not. I remember in my entire school career we only had like 2 kids with severe food allergies is there any explanation on why they're so much more common now? I mean, I get why things like mental health diagnosis have gone way up, it's because we actually test for those things now and we understand it better. Obviously those things existed then we just didn't call it what it was but I can't image severe food allergies are able to go undetected, seems like something that would come out super quick.

Gore Vidal always reminds me of some old Ask a Ninja video where he says something like not enough Gore or Videl. Now I'm off to find that clip Ugh it was Gore Verbinski. I was way off.

I just use my phone as a hotspot in pinch. I can't work like that for more than a few days though. Comcast is same day and despite all their flaws, and they are legion, I need quicker response times to issues. CenturyLink was solid for 5 years but even then a 2 week outage is unacceptable. I probably just needed a new line or ONT box. I could have even run and tipped the fiber myself as I used to do it back in the desert in my imperial youth.

My wife was reading me some article about how the kids these days all smoke and don't wear sunscreen and so they look older and worse. Not sure if there was any truth to it or if it was the typical generation bashing shifted down to Z but I figured it was the latter.

Internet has been down most of the day which sucks because we both work from home. Called up the ISP and they were less than helpful and I had to basically prove I was down for them to send someone out in almost 2 weeks. Can't go 2 weeks without working so I'll probably switch back to Comcast tomorrow if the situation doesn't resolve itself overnight. This was my first bad experience with CenturyLink but boy was it a doozy.

I had most of the cameos spoiled by my Google news feed. Like can you not put the spoilers in the headlines?

We took the ASVAB in high school, is that not a thing anymore? It's been 20 years since I graduated HS.

@BruceVC your argument is basically a variation of "some of my best friends are black." Some additional reading if you're interested. And TVTropes is usually pretty good time.

What are you Playing Now? - Right Now at the moment edition
Yeah, I had a lot of complaints, especially about the first game which didn't even have a manual save. Like, you can't figure out how to do a manual save? I always wanted someone like Obs to tackle Shadowrun, especially after they got acquired by the license holder, but it doesn't seem to be in the cards.

Well, he picked the guy that blamed Biden for the shooting as VP so he's off to a great start.

Becoming the president wasn't a life altering experience? ... I don't have much faith in a man approaching 80 changing his stripes. Can he stop being himself long enough to really capitalize on this? I think it goes too much against his core being but I guess we'll see soon enough.
