I had no early warnings. I woke up one morning with blurred vision after a bad cold, went to the doctor, had a 600 blood sugar, A1C of 12.1, and they had me admitted.

Upon further introspection, constipation.

If I didn’t need to buy cough syrup, I wouldn’t have spent a cent today.

Took a walk, sat on a bench, played decade old games, decorated the tree, and ate leftovers.

It’s like, too generic for me to research, too interesting to just shrug and forget and also too weird to really want to know.

I feel like feet has already been extensively studied as a fetish. The foot-brain connection, Jules’ treaties’ on Foot Massages, and the popularized roll of feet in sexuality since… I dunno, forever? have made it the least taboo taboo out there.

There is both a new Crown and an imported 90s S150 Crown in my area and the existence of the new one always makes me sad because my brain sees it more often than the other one…

Or good planning if you hate company.

I ran into someone and I said “How’s the Corolla Cross?” and she looked at me shocked and said “No one knows what car that is?! How do you know?” I was like “Headlights? Body shape? Too small to be a Rav4, too high to be a Corolla.”

Basically, I would’ve written autistic guide books on local ferns if I’d been born a couple decades earlier, someone had just already written them. Same with birding. Ain’t found a new bird in a while.

You’re viewing them as humans. You gotta dehumanize them first to make killing more palatable. And if they’re not human, what’s a little mutilation?

Beards? My hair starts at the top of my head and ends at my toe knuckles. My beard hair goes up to my cheek bones, down to the underside of my jaw and entirely down my neck to connect to my chest hair. I have to regularly shave my neck, shape and trim my beard.

I mean, I like my facial hair just fine, I just wish I didn’t have random solid white patches where my body decided to quit due to stress on me.

I’d really rather shoot myself than deal with grooming my face in general but I’d rather limit the parts I have to shave if I must.

Yeah, this will be so helpful when I’m trying to figure out 20% of 36.23!

Look, move the decimal one to the left, you’ve now got 10%. Double that and you’ve got 20%. How often are y’all trying to find out percentages of nice even numbers like that?

I always say “I love driving which is why I hate driving anywhere.” I would love to have a fleet of vehicles I could really drive but laws, traffic, maintenance, etc. Driving isn’t fun in the same way other things are because you need a lot of space or a lot of money to enjoy it. Drawing? I can do that with a No. 2 I swiped from IKEA. Can’t exactly take my commuter to Monza without running up a bill.

I’d argue that is a totally valid way of playing - half the game is designing homes after all. A quarter is doing the life sim thing and the other quarter is removing ladders from pools.

So, you did ask for this?

Didn’t work the last two times they staged it for appearances.

I would call myself JD too if my parents named me Jerkin Dapenis as well.

Once you’ve watched a Captain get relieved of his command and get sent to the sandbox to count ammo in a connex and then get PROMOTED to Major, you know that it’s all made up.

O-1 through O-4 are basically the same as E-1 through E-4, Automatic.

Look, the test is really bad about detecting weight issues so if you score high enough on the annual fitness test, you don’t have to take it. So that leaves all the soldiers with much more muscle out of the outliers. Meaning the soldiers who are overweight and don’t have high enough scores can waste the rest of the afternoon getting tape tested.

The Army tests Height and Weight every year. Those rucks will take an inch or two off you as your vertebrae get crushed.

But, yeah, army already does annual height and weight.

Yakuza 0 is with it but then you have to play Yakuza 1-6 and then you put the games down and get gifted Yakuza 7 so now you have to beat 4 through 6 and they just announced Kiwami 3 so you’ll probably want to compare that to 3 remastered and next thing you know you’ve bought Yakuza Dead Souls and you’re questioning your life.

Like, I’m sure Spider-Man is good but it’s still $60 and ‘only’ on a 50% sale? You can get it for $15 at GameStop.
