Listen to Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi while singing this song. You're welcome.

The title just doesn't care.

Clbuttic.

Worse than the monetary theft, he appears to have stolen the identity and likeness of Good Guy Greg.

Earl Grey, hot, nothing added.

Health insurance is a scam. American healthcare is atrocious. Stochastic terrorism is never okay. Don't you dare claim that it is.

You gotta use colons. Then it's pretty easy.

Let this be a warning, kids. Tats like this are a gateway. Don't think that he can hide behind a mask forever. Don't follow his route.

Has someone being awkward or a bit weird ever dissuaded you from having romantic interest in them?

"Hey, wanna go on a comic book store date with me at [store name] on [day of the week]?

The ask, the expectation of a date (and admission of romantic interest), and a specific time and place. Don't leave the question open-ended or vague. Then she can respond in a few ways: 1. Yes. 2. I'm not free that day; is there another day that we could go? 3. No thank you.

This makes everything as clear as it can be, with little room for misunderstanding. And it's not a dumb idea at all to have a comic book store date. If you have a hard time talking to girls, don't talk to girls. Talk to humans who happen to be girls. They're people, and you're a person too, so you don't need to overthink it.

You got this! Good luck!

Or some Douglas Adams poetry: Vogon poetry.

They probably did read UK and just went off on a sine or cosine about how bad it would have been with an American lawyer.

Strange things, motorcycles. They can cure depression, but they're also suicidal.

You should listen to Brian Eno's Music for Airports if you haven't already. It's beautiful calm for when you're in a chaotic environment.

Whoa whoa whoa, that's maybe too harsh. Maybe just downgrade him to ad-supported?

I'm another Libertarian to Socialist convert. Also ultra-conservative religious to nonreligious.

I started reading up on the origins of beliefs I held. I learned that Hayek (author of The Road to Serfdom, a father of Austrian economics) thought that his ideal laissez faire economics could only be sustained with universal social safety nets like UBI and healthcare for all. Smith (author of The Wealth of Nations, father of American capitalism) basically replaced royal bloodlines with wealth birthright, using class separation of ownership (and heavy emphasis on slavery) instead of historic feudalism. His system was basically the same, just replacing the tiny ruling class. And I discovered Marx wasn't some evil terrorist trying to destroy the world.

For religion, it was all the internal inconsistencies. The problem with fundamentalism is that it's self-destructive. Everyone fights over smaller and smaller interpretation differences, searching for The Truth, ignoring that you can literally back up any conclusion by justifying it backwards with the text. And everybody in a conservative religion has a lot of immovable conclusions they will defend to the exclusion of all evidence or all people.

I mixed up a few words and in the context interpreted this as "horse genitals".

Crepes are basically French pancakes, the best way to improve pancakes. Belgian waffles are improved waffles. French toast is improved toast. Does speaking French automatically elevate breakfast or something?

French toast. I've developed a terrible (as in, frighteningly bad for you) and amazing recipe by cranking up the fat content from other recipes and adding a little more spice.

6-8 slices of bread (decently thick Italian bread is what I usually use, but obviously French bread is good for French toast) 4 eggs 4 Tbsp butter ¼ cup half & half 1 Tbsp real maple syrup (don't you dare use fake stuff) 1 tsp cinnamon ½ tsp vanilla extract ¼ tsp nutmeg

Leave the eggs and butter out so they get to room temperature. If the butter isn't super soft, melt it.

Whisk everything (except the bread) together well. If the ingredients are too cold, the butter will solidify in chunks. It's also a good idea to whisk between batches to keep everything evenly suspended. Dunk the bread slices for good coverage and cook them up on a griddle or pan preheated to medium heat until lightly brown on both sides. Top the finished product with maple syrup or vanilla ice cream. Or both. Schedule a cardiologist visit. Enjoy.
