  • I think you have a valid point that echo chambers are bad, and that we should all strive to find good sources and not just rely one one side of the story.

    But -

    I think we have. Lots of people understand that idea, and lots of people have kept open channels to ideas outside what they believe. And I can only speak for myself, but MY “other side” time observing and participating in conservative forums online, talking with people in my very-red state, and watching Fox News, has done nothing to convince me that i need to hear one god-damn word from either of those two lying, conniving jack-asses.

    One dude’s opinion. Your mileage may vary. Please consult your doctor before starting any kind of exercise program. Thanks for your time.











  • We either gave or received a few:

    Sampler pack of flavors from a well-known online ramen place, along with chopsticks and a spoon for chili crisp

    Two nice blue glazed ramen bowls with hold on either side to slide your chopsticks through - along with MORE chopsticks, and spoons for broth

    A 5-qt stainless steel sauté pan with a lid

    Hero’s Feast D&D cookbook

    Some interesting barrel-aged coffee beans

    A spritzer to most coffee beans so they don’t get too staticky in the grinder



  • “Michael Tuesdays and Thursdays” was funny, but also had some layers to it; a very complicated patient and his therapist, who is writing a book about his care - so not always totally objective, as he has something to gain. And then that therapist also sees a therapist (played by the late, great Ed Asner) who seems to be going senile.

    It’s funny, sometimes sad, sometimes very sweet, with a good cast.
