The fuck? What does horrifically unhealthy food have anything to do with spicy food? >_>

Nah, I am a born-and-raised Missourian. Just was extremely picky as a kid and refused to eat burgers.

Bowser, but I think some of you are dismissing Bowser's evilness to some degree.

He's not Ganon-level, but he can act pretty grimy at times.

It's one of the most inoffensive things you could possibly eat, honestly. Not sure how a Big Mac could possibly make you sick.

I guess never try eating spicy Indian or Asian food because that would straight up probably kill you.

I eat spicy Asian a lot.

First ever big mac, and I think I might die.

I wanted to hide my armpit and face :(

Yeah you really do need to see one badly

Have you ever tried any of the itch relief eczema/psoriasis cream

Yeah; but I'm really bad about keeping it as a habit. Plus, never seems to work anyways.

my left arm/side is so itchy. No matter how many times I try to go for lotion or tell myself I will no longer scratch it; I just keep going back to it. The itch persists despite me getting to the point of breaking through the skin and getting to the liquid-portion of my skin. I see piles of my flaky skin all around me as I claw through my arm. The smell of iron lingers around me, and yet my brain still rewards my act of temporarily satisfying the great itch. I'm in the end of busy season with no time for own personal health. I don't know if this is physical, psychological, or a mixture of both.

In general, I've always been an itchy person, but this is really concerning since my arm has had no time to recover for months now as I won't let it.

I hate that pose.

A lot of cracks appeared before me.

It was actually nothing. It's a little surprising that they used to just walk around with only a shirt on, but that all changed when leggings were created.

Thanks for the heads-up guys! Next time I get the option, I'll ask for a medium burger!

Also, I don't know why, but I've been craving some crinkle-cut fries. Culvers is the only place I know of that sells crinkles around me (and by around, I mean 30 minutes away).

Maybe I should make a home-made burger and fries!

??? I thought us men came out the womb loving beer and burgers

Apparently my mind has been stuck in the womb for nearly 26 years.

Kradek posted...

Lol the place I go to has options for their sides and I like to get seasoned fries. Pretty good there. They also let you dictate how you wanted your burger cooked, which not all burger places do.

Not really much of an expert to know what the best way to get your burger cooked is. I mean, obviously preference, but I was under the assumption burgers should be well done. Does medium well work for burgers?

Kradek posted...

Me too, actually, and it's pretty recent.

There's a bar near my place which is also family-friendly enough with food options as I see whole families go there and one of my coworkers got me into getting their burgers with beer.

Yeah; I am craving some bar food now, haha! Tbh, I didn't even really care for burgers either. It's weird how the mind can meld.

Specifically, melted American cheeseburgers washed down with a beer,

I couldn't stand beer just two days ago, but now I really really want to just be a good ol' Swamp-crawling, redneck. Wtf happened?

Saw this stupid af tweet earlier and now I see it here. To call SpongeBob ugly is stupid and the tweet comes from a person who just thinks their opinions are facts to what is ugly.

I mean are we taking actual, real things? Or made up bullshit?

Because conservatives pull out new conspiracies about how Biden and hunter are selling the country to China like daily

By the context of what October Surprise means, I would say real things that would actually sway a solid percentage of undecided or perhaps even flip enough people to vote for the other side. In that case, conspiracies that just make a pre-existing supporter go "Yep, that's why I ain't votin' for Biden/Trump" would not count as an October Surprise.

https://www.racetothewh.com/president/polls

Race to the White House was a pretty good polling aggregate, even better than 538 in 2022. I like it's easy-to-read summaries.

If you haven't kept up with forecasting tools (not just race to the WH, but also 538, realclearpolitics, other betting sites), Trump has had a pretty strong lead since late last year over Biden, but Biden has been making up strong ground as of late. He has regained the national vote lead and has also flipped PA back from Republican to democrat, cutting significantly into Trump's EC lead. Wisconsin also is within earshot of flipping, which would even the race nearly again.

Meanwhile, Trump has secured the Republican nomination which will allow him to focus on his national campaign, but the pending litigation against him, both criminal and civil, is going to hinder his ability to hold as many rallies as he may have wanted to. Not to mention, as nominee, Biden can now fully redirect his campaign solely against Trump.

I think early May, Biden will have the EC lead again with the rust belt fully converting at the moment.

Just imagine what Mario Kart 8 would have sold if it was on all platforms + steam. I wouldn't be surprised if it outsold GTAV tbh at that point.

RetuenOfDevsman posted...

It wouldn't surprise me if Mario got surpassed, but I certainly wouldn't guess it would be by Lara Croft.

Maybe Master Chief, or Kratos, or the Minecraft Creeper, but Lara? Nah, I don't buy it.

Nah, Mario still clears, other than Minecraft among very young gen z'ers. Halo and GoW wishes they could have a billion dollar blockbuster, hit amusement park, and a game that sold 60 million units on one platformer alone (Mario Kart 8) not to mention all of the other 10/20 million+ Mario titles on the Switch. Mario's outreach is definitely beyond video-games, which none of them really have at the moment. Wouldn't call the Halo show a rousing success.

Poll had terrible outreach, lmao.

This is a reminder that sometimes polls are not accurate to real life actuals. If they were, political polls would all be the same. Do enough polls and eventually you'll find a poll that concludes Mario is the least iconic video game character.

...is this copypasta?

No, just blogfaq'ing.

And strangely enough, not even stuffed crust, but just a standard 'za.

I'm going on the longest extreme calorie-deficit diet of my life (over 4 months). There have been a few weeks here and there I wasn't the best at keeping up. Feb 15 - March 15 was noticeably bad where I lost 1 pound only and was a little meh on the weight lifting routine, but I have gotten back into the groove of things. Let myself go and with being in public accounting, it has been hard to motivate myself with food being ever-present. Finally just went all in late November, and the weight loss has been substantial. Over 50 pounds, losing nearly 25% (hopefully will hit that threshold during my next weigh-in on April 15), but I still have 30 more pounds to go before I can feel fully satisfied for a person at my height. I'm 6 pounds shy (as of 3/31) of finally being at a "healthy weight" which will also hopefully be hit at 4/15.

This being busy season for us public accountants (Jan - April) might have been the worst time to do something like this, but I just gotta keep going strong! My weight lifting progress has stalled, not unexpectedly as I'm clearly not consuming enough protein to keep up with my body's needs for growth, but improvement is still being felt. I'm very confident when I do my next one-rep max check; I will have hit the next 10-pound barrier threshold which is always fun!

All of this said just to say going ham on a pizza right now just would feel so nice! Technically could work pizza in, but it's just not that filling for the amount of calories it is, unfortunately! From a practical point of view of fulfilling my hunger needs before my craving needs, pizza is a hard sell.

When I get paid next, I am going to buy (ethically-sourced) cocoa pods and make my own chocolate for the first time, though! Wouldn't it be fun if a few of us did this together and posted our updates in a thread? I think it could make for a charming time honestly. Chocolate runs into the same problem as pizza for me, but at least dark chocolate in small quantities has valid nutritional purpose.

Pizza has a little more oomph to it imo with the meat that adds juice to the pizza.

Still, a good cheese stick is just amazing food to fill up on.

She must be from the "always need to love family, no matter what" generation

She's a gen x'er and grew up poor. Strong familial bonds means a lot to her. I understand family had to stick together, but a lot of her side nowadays fell in with the wrong crowds.

To me, I'd rather be around people that share values I was taught by her to value. Those values are not held by her side of the family.

Ah yes, the discovery that sharing genetic material with some people thanks to an accident of birth doesn't mean very much.

A discovery I've realized since I was a wee lad.

I'd rather be working than be around these people.

Okay Mom, they're family, I get it, but if you feel the need to say this about people you are inviting for Easter, why are you inviting them?

As an introvert, I've gotten better over the years in some regards, but this house is just flooded with people that I would rather not be around.

Did people forget what Bowsette is based on? It's always been Peach in a themed dress.

Amen. Human girl Bowser has existed long before Bowsette. Red-haired Bowsette ain't Bowsette.

Turbam posted...

Boosette is boring!
@PiOverlord , tell him!

Boo---sette.

She is just generic anime girl #398567 and doesn't even follow the simple rules of the super crown.

Bowsette has character, she has real purpose and the idea of her just opens up so many fun ideas.

I do feel it's true, anecdotal evidence, of course. Could be typical boomer thinking.

In my mind, though, zoomers grew to see how millennials were betrayed, and as such, realized the world doesn't reward politeness. Boomers ruled by screwing over others, so why shouldn't we?

No thanks; smartphones are a god-send for diabetic children like my younger sister.

For many things, I prefer them plain, but I also find myself a lot more accepting of diverse tastes nowadays!

I used to shun guac and cheese, but I don't mind putting it on stuff now. ^_^

Many of Biden's "old man" moments are moments I have, which is slightly annoying to see made a big deal out of. Taking a pause to speak, slurring, etc.; it's a normal part of speech for some of us. I'm sure his mental capabilities are greatly diminished at his old age, but he still seems to know what he needs to know.

Trump has had some legit "old man" moments. Even if you want to give him the benefit that he actually isn't, I don't know if "he's just too ignorant to remember Haley isn't Pelosi" is really something you want to defend.

Yeah. I failed the parallel parking segment, but it's not a requirement where I live. 100% on everything else for an overall score of 93.

I even hit a cone in my attempt to parallel park, which made me think I was doomed since I heard that's an insta-fail even in places where parallel parking is not mandatory to pass your exam.

Getting your license a month before you start your first real job 45 minutes from where you live is high-time anxiety, lol!

Celeste because there's a cool game named Celeste at least.

Honestly, glad the creator came out and said it, though.

Don't really feel anger/disappointment towards them as, back in 2017, the idea that all the levels would be beaten was a laughable idea, and so the idea of using TAS/hacks to get impossible/near-impossible levels on the servers is more of a "so what" thing to me.

What a terrible mother.

Makes me sad.

Very anti-climactic, but it is what it is.

Still a very cool thing that every level was beaten!

Yeah

Pretty much the Switch nowadays. I got a backlog of games I have to get through that I own on the Switch. I need to get through Sonic Frontiers, A Hat in Time, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Octopath 2, Sparks of Hope... wish me luck on one day beating my entire backlog.

Don't really have motivation to play other consoles at the moment.

If cats could talk; it wouldn't matter if their testimony would hold up in court because that would mean they are intelligent beings on par with us, and we would definitely be enslaved pretty quickly. The real question is would our testimony hold up in the cat court.

Your favorite childhood memory?

Oh boy, you are basically asking me to pick my favorite child! I don't know if its my favorite for sure, but the first memory that seems to pop up when it comes to just overall "good days" was Pi Day 2014. I remember learning 628 digits of pi for this occasion, and something about that day just had overall pleasant vibes. My dad and I went to Pizza Hut and sat down to eat there, and while nothing special, the mood of the day really uplifted me.

Getting my Wii U Christmas 2012 was special to me as well as I really thought I wasn't getting it until the end (obviously besides the games of course) since the box for it was smaller than I thought it would be. Another one is when my mom randomly got me Super Paper Mario around the time it came out! I remember being cringe screaming around the house that she got me it.

My friends and I would play on this large dirt hill from construction when my neighborhood was still new at the time, and that was always a blast.

I just want to type tbh. Please ask me questions :(

dub? never heard of it.

I don't know; I actually think it's pretty good as someone who doesn't have nostalgia for it. Again, first few episodes were a little rough, but in a little bit of a charming way, but I think the cast actually did do a good job, especially Tiffany.

ViewtifulJoe posted...

Was the creator's reaction good?
It was his personal quest for years and then some other dude just takes it out the same way Akuma took out Bison.

Yeah; they seemed in good spirits.

It was beaten again yesterday; if you want to talk about feeling bad, a cheese was discovered, and while still hard, it cuts out having to get any of the red coins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTbEoZonl9A

I just learned the movie is playing in theaters. Unfortunately, it's only subbed. Even if they released it dubbed, I'd imagine it would be the Netflix dub since the ADV dub isn't really something the creator likes due to the feeling of localization changes.

Plus, I feel like these type of movies probably draw in obnoxious theater audiences.

Was debating if I should watch the netflix dub since I heard the VA work was on a more technical level, better, and the script was closer to the source material. Heard it had poor localization work, though, and sounded more stiff as a whole, so I decided, screw it, I'm down bad for 90's dub work. The first few episodes had noticeable, ehhh, strange "performances" but I do think they all eventually settled into their roles, especially by the time Asuka came into the show. Speaking of which, I think Tiffany Grant was definitely the star of the dub and I would go so far as to say why the West took onto Asuka so highly compared to how Japan originally preferred other characters (although I hear even they now prefer Asuka over any character).

Overall great dub imo, and a show that left me self-reflecting, which is the mark of any show that I end up feeling strongly about.

Baseball has me a little down after the Dodgers offseason.

Feels like this is the worst the competitive spirit of the game has been in a long time after the way the Ohtani deal was structured.
