Random Rants

[J-IV]

@Mizmazzle said in Random Rants:

We just try our best to create a caring environment that fosters compassion and growth.

That part.

The US is beyond effed right now. We had a great run.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Rest of the free world is heading in the same direction. But I guess that's no consolation.

I always turn to Alan Watts' old lectures when I feel somewhat daunted.

[louisbosco]

maybe..

[endo]

just two letters, Ye

[mclaincausey]

How a black man can be a literal Nazi is beyond the pale. (See what I did there?)

Ye has major Clayton Bigsby energy.

@mclaincausey that will always be one of the funniest pieces by Chappelle. Always reminds me of this one as well:

Ooooh the racism, it's killing me inside

[endo]

that video is hilarious, and somewhat foreseeing regarding all the (seeing) blind pleople atm

FB, Reddit, X are all great places to voice ones opinions on politics. This place is not. Let's clean it up, shall we ?

I'm getting really tired of having to eat. Sometimes I love eating. I made my career around food. But sometimes when I'm busy, or just uninterested, it becomes a real chore. Gotta fuel my body, blah, blah, blah.

@seawolf Days like that and I like a charcuterie with some cheeses and fruit. Top it off with a nice glass of Pinot Grigio...

[Oaktavia]

@seawolf What I am more annoyed with is the other end- having to use the bathroom every ding ol' dang day.

[jordanscollected]

@seawolf I see both sides of this. You are really "lucky" that you have the ability to cook interesting things for yourself without fussing too much. Don't forget that people would love to have your skills.

So many people struggle to be able to cook for themselves, or need to closely follow a recipe which make it more time consuming to cook at home.

I have many friends and a sibling that order door dash once or twice a day because cooking is a hassle or they "just don't cook".

Your rant reminds me of a meme that constantly comes across my feed. something like, " I didn't realize one of the hardest parts about being an adult is figuring what to eat for dinner EVERY NIGHT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE"!!!"

I also work around food and am constantly planning meals. But new ideas are hard to come by sometimes. When we make our shopping list its greens, veggies and fruits, healthy meats and nuts. not always easy to cook new exciting things.

Our go to lazy night meal is a sheet pan of roasted veggies and seasoning boneless skinless chicken thighs. I turn on the rice cooker once or twice a week too as a carb and use leftovers to make fried rice.

My I-can't-be-arsed-to-cook dish is Temple Dahl and rice. Pice of piss, gorgeous and good for you...

[aksu]

While we are at it. Making your own sandwiches is a misery. I have no discipline to follow it through and sit down to eat. I end up doing my second sandwich while eating the first ...and even that is a lie cos I'm 100% eating the first sandwich while I'm making it.

[endo]

hahaha, I know exactly what you mean @aksu , and I wish I had one day in my life as @seawolf describes

[WhiskeySandwich]

So I was just in the bathroom and dude in the next stall goes: "I like you're boots." I say: "uh, thanks." He goes: "You in here this time every day?" I reply: "Nope." He say: "I'm dying over here, man." I respond: "Hmm." and prepared my exit. lol

I'm not much for rando bathroom conversations.

[endo]

let me summarize, we're a bunch of guys connected by our interest in clothes, talking about how to keep them nice and tidy, and then there're threads on cooking and baking and so forth, and you're wondering to get chatted up in a bathroom?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@endo i was just sharing an awkward moment in the random rants thread. lol As creep as it was, i did get a compliment out of it. If you're wondering (I know you're not lol) the boots in question were my Briar Red Wing Moc Toes I recently experimented with doing a soak on. They turned out pretty nice.

[goosehd]

@WhiskeySandwich ...having another guy pee on them in the bathroom??
