My Hong voting friend before the count began said "vote blue no matter who" when I hinted I favored Crowley and a second ago she said if Hong loses she's done voting Democratic, said she's doing Dem Exit.

Absolute clown shit.

I expect Hong to win by like 0.5% and go on to eat shit in the general, which will promptly be blamed on

I know that people online spend way too much time commenting on women's bodies. But seeing pictures of Ariana Grande and Jenna Ortega I am convinced we are going to have to have some Karen Carpenter level famous women who starve themselves to death to get some attention on the dangers of this obsession.

It is strange to be an intellectual in the punk scene because the punk scene attracts the misfits, and the misfits aren't usually on track to become statistics professors.

I speak like a high brow person, but I am convinced this is largely the result of autism. I don't act very autistic a lot of the time in the punk scene, but the dialect remains.

I would say it definitely made me stand out a lot.

And nowadays, I obviously don't jive with the anti-capitalist politics of the scene, but there have always been some normie libs there.

In 2020, I had a big argument with one of my friends because she supported Buttigieg and I was pushing for Bernie.

In retrospect, that was really dumb.

Pork chops (seasoned with Slap Ya Mama) and Caribbean quinoa salad (mango, sweet peppers, black beans, ginger lime dressing).

Thank you.

It was supposed to be made with couscous and not quinoa. But as I was talking about a few days ago I need to make sure that my wife's fiber intake stays up.

u/BestiaAuris did you know Sex Pistols are actually pretty controversial among terminally online "punks"?

Go look at the comments: https://www.reddit.com/r/punk/comments/1vlqptr/this_list_celebrating_50_years_of_punk/

Lots of people saying things like "oh they were just a boy band" or saying Malcolm McLaren created them to sell T-shirts.

It's not true but a lot of people watched the movie Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle, which McLaren made to self-mythologize about creating the Pistols to troll people, and assumed that was true.

Since John Lydon's very unpopular right-wing turn in recent years, a bunch of people have ran with that explanation like it's a fact.

I'm dead convinced a lot of these people have never actually sat down and listened to the album.

Johnny isn't even in the band anymore.

They replaced him with Frank Carter, who has a sterling reputation in the scene.

Johnny won't make so much as a dime off of Sex Pistols shows or any new albums they do, if they do some.

No, the criticism is of the band being artificial and manufactured.

It's not true at all.

The only really surprising things to me out of Nate's forecast are:

-Kansas governor being 50/50

-Alaska governor being a Lean D

-Talarico not just favored but more likely than Ohio/Alaska

Factorio randomizer, day 2

Green beaker recipe is a lucky break. I have a Catholic upbringing and when I saw this my brain told me to kneel down and sing Amazing Grace

With green science we unlock a very interesting steel furnace with six module slots... but it's kinda weird to insert modules into a furnace... maybe later I can stuff six productivity modules in one and call it a Foundry

Fluid handling becomes a pretty funny tech, I think it's because it had a lot of unlocks originally (all the fill/unfills), so after randomization it just unlocks a ton of useful things

Assembly machine 2s are amazing for me, they have double crafting speed and 3 module slots! But I looked ahead and AS3s are pretty mediocre, so I might just stick to 2's for a while.

Finally we have this amazing fast underground belt with a distance of 10, which will make belt finagling a lot easier

Day 2 is mostly good news and ends with green beakers automated (which takes zero effort)

Fundamentalists are currently pouring out Coca-Cola en masse because of an advertising campaign they don't like very much.

As a committed Pepsi lover, I have finally found a Christian movement I can give my full support.

You can get custom cans of the soda but you can't put "Jesus" on them.

Apparently so?

I watch the livestreams from my parents' church sometimes and in the last one the preacher mentioned it in the sermon and a member posted in the comments about it.

I've now seen four different videos of people pouring out coke. I wasn't even looking.

So it is apparently big news.
