On Father's Day, I took the kids to the zoo. There's a big walk aorund outdoor area with a significant elephant exhibit. Right by there, is a food stand. The kids wanted pretzels, so they got those, and I, to my amazement that they had it, had a hard cider. It was the first drink I'd had in months. ...

While I have not seen all of these shows, I would absolutely agree with Parks and Recreation, Schitt's Creek, and Steven Universe. I don't know if I can think of a whole series, but there are probably snippets of things. I"ll have to think on this.

A horse walks into a bar. Bartender says, "Hey buddy, what are you doing here?" The horse says, "Look man, I'm not here to be a punchline, but I'm feeling a little depressed and I'd like a drink." The bartender says, "No way am I giving you a drink! You're an alcoholic!"...

I think maybe it would have been racist at that point in time, but isn't racist now. Assimilation of culture takes time and contextual meaning can change over time.

DMDarcs

Yeah, I don't really see how that could be racist if it's something that is atually just used by the group of people who created it and then fully accepted and used by other people in the same manner. That would be like saying bechamel sauce is racist because it's French.

That's such a weird phrase. I mean, I know it's use. It's supposed to be a superlative. "You are so awesome that there is no way you could even be put in second place." However, if you look at the phrase a little differently, it's a complete slam in the face. "If I had to choose, I gu...

Had my first overnight session with the PD machine last night. And I feel great t his morning.

John Dies at the End - David Wong/Jason Pargin (depending on which printing you get). I have not really anyway to describe this book. I guess it's horror/comedy/sci-fi?

I started recording myself reading the Dragonlance Chronicles. I plan on posting this in a audio only format somehow. Possibly YouTube with any options for monetization or searching turned off. I plan on giving personal links to my kids.

This could be a brilliant move. I know that there have been several polls that have suggested that Harris has a much higher chance of beating Trump than Biden. (I think one poll said that a Harris/H.

Our goto to end earworms in high school was to listen to "What You Own" from the original cast recording of Rent. Not sure why, but it seemed like you could never remember the previous song after hearing it, and it didn't really get stuck in your head after listening either.

DMDarcs

This song was stuck in my head first thing as I woke up. And I think this is one of the most inspiring, empowering songs to exist.

In January/February, I spent a month in the hospital. I was diagnosed with end stage renal disease, and have been on dialysis 3 nights a week since February.

I'm not a gun owner, I've never fired a gun. I am pro-gun control, but I don't think that firearms should necessarily be abolished.

The details unfolding are surprising. Apparently the security team just let go this whole area a few hundred feet from the stage, and were slow to act even once rally attendees had spotted the guy.

I broke down and took the test.

I don't know if your term is innately misogynistic. I can understand that you feel that it might be, and if that is what you believe, than I would totally stop using it. There are words or phrases that I used much more frequently in my youth than I do now, because I do not feel comfortable with the ...

I have never taken the love language quiz, but Mrs. Darcs had at one point in time. She said her love language was gift giving, which made complete sense to me at a time. She loved getting/making gifts for others. She could also become very disappointed if a gift given to her was not to her liking, ...

So here's the deal. I got sick for awhie. But then I got reay sick.

I was then treated for spinal meni...

I have been in a very conflicted emotion state this past month. It has had absolutely NOTING to do with any Nerd Pride stuff, but I have had to take some to sulk and dwell on it.

I believe most of these are PF 1st edition paths, so is the intention that you'll be converting them to 2E to run us through them? Seems like a lot of work on your part.

Ultimately, Joss Whedon is one person of many that contributed to Firefly (or Buffy, Angel, Dr. Horrible, Avengers, Cabin in the Woods, or whatever).

Until you've had a Dr. Pepper Zero Cream Soda, you cannot declare your soda better. That's ignorant. Try it first and then tell me I'm wrong. You are actually correct on this one. The sugar-free aspect is very important, as most soda is too damn sweet. I hate having to drink non-diet sodas, but reg...

Vinegar is a key ingreedient.

Ketchup contains every flavor profile: sweet, salty, savory, spicy, and bitter. Which is why it is so satisfying.

Unfortunately, it does pale in comparison to the other dipping sauce that contains these same flavor profiles.

The Princess Bride. Seriously, it covers every flavor profile. You want sweet? There's interplay between Buttercup and Westley, which is completely driven by the pure, sweet aspects. Salty? Again, Westley is a player, but this time it's his interactions with Fezzini, primarily in their interplay in ...
