My bad! Another classic. Mel Brooks just does not miss.

Is it fair to say that Mel Brooks movies are uncommon now? Have they gotten old enough that people today are generally ignorant of them? If so, "Blazing Saddles", "History of the World: Part 1", "Young Frankenstein", and "Spaceballs" are incredibly worthy of a watch.

WTF is up with all the NSFW tags, and the massive ChatGPT-like spam?

I think that, in the moment, online arguments can feel extremely real and heated. But, then you go out and do other things, and it becomes less and less important over time.

Of course, then you come back and find a notification from one of those morons you've been arguing with, and then you're right back in it. So I guess just practice? Like, just keep reminding yourself that it doesn't actually matter, even if it feels like it does.

Also, shrooms help. I remember I got into a heated snit with some idiot online an hour or so before eating a bunch of caps. Then, when I was trying to explain what the argument was about to one of my friends, I couldn't finish because hearing myself explain it became apparent just how ridiculous the entire thing was. I think psychedelics just give you perspective that you're lacking in your normal day-to-day life.

I saw a loaf of Rosemary Focaccia on sale the other day, and it occurred to me that "Rosemary Focaccia" is a great drag name.

Hah! Bet that'll go over a treat with that crowd.

Gotta go with what works for you. But as a fellow cishet middle-aged white engineer, you could not pay me enough money for me to want to move to Texas. Or Florida. Or most of the middle of the country. If I were in your shoes, I'd be out as soon as I had the means to leave.

Spot on. 10/10. No notes.

Another +1 for Arris. It's been a rock-solid workhorse. I'm a big fan of them.

Just wanted to add in the tidbit that Martha Stewart once dated Anthony Hopkins, but broke up with him after "Silence of the Lambs" because Hannibal Lecter creeped her out so much.
