Grok fucking nailed it. And everything stated is verifiable with almost no effort.

I’m a man whore. Of all the sorts of sexuality, that’s the one I can’t wrap my head around. Bi is kinda hard. “You don’t have much of a preference?!” But I can get it. Kinda.

“I have no desire to fuck anything.” HOW NOT?!

Been a functioning alcoholic my whole adult life. Got my first bad test for liver enzymes. Looked the numbers up, holy shit that’s fucking off the scale! Quit kratom powder for 2 weeks, keep drinking as normal, perfect retest.

Doc: “I’m so proud of you!” Uh…?

Another anecdote: Good friend crashed her liver with Tylenol. This was before it was widely known to fucking kill you. Hardcore alcoholic. 90-proof generic vodka, hiding bottles kinda alki. She got a transplant after being in a coma for 2-months, poster child for success! Doctors wanted her to speak at medical events as to how she no longer needed anti-rejection drugs after only 18-months. Imagine that!

Surgeon to family: “Believe it or not, her alcoholism had nothing to do with her liver failure.”

All that to say, yeah, other factors we didn’t evolve for can kill your liver. We been drinking for 10,000 years, the weak livers are largely weeded out.

Let’s hear from Kurt Vonnegut!

“Beer, of course, is actually a depressant, but poor people will never stop hoping otherwise.” I feel personally attacked. :(

Anyway, Julie got run over by a random dude while crossing the corner with her husband, my best friend. So it goes.

Yes, and…?

Life sciences are where this sort of thing will shine.

So, to my fellow Americans in NYC, how are those gun laws working out? That’s a smartass question, but more seriously, what will you do when the Gestapo comes rolling down Flatbush Avenue?

I’ll never find it again, but a few years ago jihadis went rampaging down the streets in Iran, randomly shooting into apartment blocks. All I could think was, “At least that can’t happen here.”

The ending of I Am Legend tells us all we need to know about letting focus groups dictate cinema.

Can you imagine a Tarantino movie being run through a popularity filter?!

OK, here’s my hateful take on JP:

I

III

(kind of a tie here)

World

II

Fallen Kingdom

Dominion (proof that there is no loving god)

Rebirth looks promising, but Dominion hurt me badly.

Hah! You should read the comment I just wrote about that!

LOL, hell no. The Jaws sequels were stupid even by 80s standards. Friends and I saw Jaws 3D in the theater and were like, “What the fuck was that?” This is the same gang who thought The Ice Pirates was master cinema and The Beastmaster was top tier television.

For myself, I really like the first World movie, the second was sorta OK, the third was absolutely incomprehensible. Watched it 3 times, no idea what it was about, can’t remember a single scene.

Now for the really hateful opinion! Jurassic Park III was damned good.

I so admire your passion! Could I borrow a bit? Feeling pretty down.

Fuck off. Bexar County 2024 voting:

Donald J. Trump /JD Vance 336,260 44.46% 71,404 8,892 255,964

Kamala D. Harris/Tim Walz 408,981 54.08% 74,997 22,964 311,020

Even the reddest counties in the US had significant votes against Trump.

Same for LGBT rights. There’s been a seismic shift since I was a kid in the 80s. Here in America we’re rolling backwards a bit, but that’s the nature of societal progress, two steps forward, one back.

Even if they sent them earlier, who is going to catch a warning at 2AM vs. 4:30AM?

All that destruction to provide a couple of hundred jobs. These dumbass politicians think Meta is bringing in a factory, like the old days.

Movies are so expensive I don’t want to gamble. I already know I’ll like 28 Years Later, and despite the last two flops, I’ll probably like the new JP. Not a huge Superman fan, but the trailer looks great.

Wife and I walked to the creek last night, chillin’ on the bank. She asked me to toss a scrap of dropped cotton candy in the water. It disappeared INSTANTLY, like it blinked out of existence. Both of us, “Did you see that?!”

And funny enough, I was telling her about the raccoon gif posted here.

For almost everyone, the straight-up phone call has become an intrusion.

I feel like everyone, in America anyway, has forgotten that telemarketers weren’t allowed to call cell phones.

Turbo insult.

LOL, turtles are native just about everywhere.
