Same. Once, a family member told me that I'd been super blessed my whole life but because I left the church it was all gonna come crashing down. Anyway, now whenever I get a work promotion or anything, I give them the mental middle finger. So now I feel like the general success of my life is important to prove them wrong. Fortunately, I'm super fortunate in life so it's been easy so for (knock on wood)

It's my wife's espresso machine and it was a wedding gift from her bosses (from before I liked coffee). I guess it's the same machine they use. Before the machine, she used a Moka pot for milk drinks. I still kinda suck at pouring espresso, but I haven't put in a lot of time to practice it (yet)

Oh man, I know this is humor, but it's too late, I'm already thinking about it - I believe it's because converts have a hole that they're trying to fill, and when they find something that fits the hole, they sometimes overfill it.

Sticking with food for an example, I could imagine a person breaking up with their significant other who was vegetarian, and then becoming a barbecue champion. And in a world where they never got romantic with a vegetarian, they might not have ever gotten so into barbecue.

Yes! I meant to add a note about that into the post but forgot... I suppose the post got a bit long anyway

That is fantastic. Love how "Eternal Life" is trademarked. I'm super tempted to get one and wear it to a family reunion or something

I think there'd be three reactions:

1. Cousins who like coffee too and think it's funny
2. Family members who get super mad that I'm taunting the church (lately, my mom has been doing the whole "why can't you leave the church alone?" thing)
3. Family members who think I literally left the church in favor of coffee (because why else does anyone leave?)

I do kind of love the idea of coffee being this utilitarian sludge that we drink because we have to, and then still falling in love with it. I definitely didn't have that experience, and I don't think I'd really want to, but it feels kind of cool. Like how I don't want to be struck by lightning, but it would be kind of cool.

Also, absolutely wild that you got three DOA machines

Haha, that's a good idea, the next time I make a dad joke I'll say, "oh no, was that a dad joke? You should probably take a pregnancy test, just in case it was."

One time my wife (girlfriend at the time) and I went to pick up some condoms and then we decided to also get some ice cream and the cashier (older lady) gave us like a 3 second look and I thought she was gonna say something but then I said, "the ice cream's for a friend" and it was the funniest thing I've ever said.

Wife still hasn't forgiven me. Cashier didn't say anything. My eyes were watering like crazy as I held in my giggles.

Less YouTube

Magic cards Edit: did not get any magic cards. Got some cash though so I may head over to my LGS later this week

Pretty sure not reporting a crime and even not assisting in an investigation doesn't count as obstruction. We aren't required to assist the justice department do their job. Even when asked to do so. A judge has to be used to legally require information out of a person. Obstruction is usually limited to physical intervention that knowingly and intentionally inhibits the duties of a law-person.

Been grinding Deep Rock Galactic Survivor

Found myself doing "tips and tricks" research already, so I think it's safe to say I'll be dumping a lot of time into the game

Deep Rock Galactic Survivor. I like to play casual games after work to de-stress a bit. Mostly tower defense games. Hoping this one will work well

My ass! My ass! My beautiful ass!

Very happy to see myself correctly represented. I use a single cup pourover, BTW

I was biking near campus in a bike lane and an old truck matched my speed (maybe 15mph) and then the truck came into my lane a little so I slapped the side to make noise. The passenger was a girl and her window was down so I yelled something and she looked back at me a face that I can only describe as "I don't want to be here" but then she looked forward again and I noticed the driver was looking over his shoulder at me with a big smile. Anyway, he forced me off the side of the road and I rolled to a stop in some grass and was totally fine, just shocked that someone would do something so reckless. He easily could have bumped me and I could have ended up under a tire. The truck then shot off (in a 25 zone).

This is why I lose in Magic the Gathering so much. I'll be like "wow what a combo, I could go on but this is mean enough." And then two turns later I lose to a mean combo. I don't think it's actually mean, the goal is to win. I just think it can be more fun to not have huge plays, even if that results in more losses.

We didn't but the water was clear enough to see the fish. Could probably see 15 feet down. I 100% will be going back to go freediving

Haha, my wife is gonna love your joke
