It’s worse than that - I’d actually say “one ninety six”.

But in my head I always read the comm name as “one nine six”.

We have Star Trek too

Pourquoi?

No toes?

Thursday, I don’t care about you

So weird, maybe it’s just the ones I know. I’m probably stereotyping them!

Jem and the Holograms
Danger Mouse
The Smurfs
The Snorks
The Jetsons
David the Gnome

I think it’s just how boomers were raised. I’m middle-aged and I don’t wash chicken, but my boomer mom is horrified at the thought. She came for a visit and made sure I washed the chicken before I cooked with it. 🙄

Is he orange?

What the fuck.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

By the time NYE rolls around, I’m tired of festivities, not just because my social battery gets deleted, but also because the food served at gatherings really sets off my IBS. This time of year I opt out of as much holiday stuff as I can without upsetting anyone, and I almost never do anything special for the new year.

I was curious so i just checked. Assuming the drink is water and there’s no dipping sauce or sauces added to the burger, it comes to 760 calories (macros are 44g fat, 63g carbs, 31g protein). That’s definitely more than half of my daily calories, but I’m a middle-aged 5’0" lady. Still, that’s a huge amount of fat, and surprisingly little protein!

Real answer: there’s been an uptick in the amount of content lately, which is great. I’ve also unfortunately noticed an uptick in belligerent comments, which often detracts from the conversations taking place.

I quit my PhD program in Physics because the misery wasn’t going to be worth the eventual paycheck, especially because I refused to work for contractors in the military-industrial complex. I ended up working for a while and got an MS in Applied Statistics, which is meh. Physics actually interested me. Statistics bored the shit out of me but it was useful for the field I ended up in. But now I’m retired, which is pretty satisfying!

True! But I guess young adult readers don’t tend to be as discerning, which is why I never expect the writing to be any good.
