My brother explained skatole to me once, and I remember the balancing act he had to perform to explain that he's not saying my shit smells good in particular, but that it shares a certain quality with the odor of flowers. . But not a good quality, mind you.

I appreciated the compliment.

It's crazy to me that people are still watching TV and tuning into things like new episodes of The Simpsons. My wife and I just drove out to Vancouver last week and stayed in a few hotels along the way. Using the TVs at each one (with a living, breathing TV Guide Channel) felt a little surreal. We were supposed to have sex the one night and instead I fell asleep watching the Paralympics.

I fucking love my kid. She's incredible. And some days I kind of understand where Casey Anthony was coming from. Doesn't sound so outlandish. But outside of extreme cases, I probably cap out at about a 6.5/10. I feel like that's pretty good. It's those 8s and up that get you thinking about Casey Anthony.

(since people are increasingly unable to detect satire, I should probably get ahead of it and specify I don't actually fantasize about killing my kid)

The lore books in The Elder Scrolls series, hands-down.

There is an entire universe of conflicting knowledge, personal bias, and unreliable narrators that leave Tamriel's history feeling very real, and very open to interpretation. The fun of it is piecing together the truth somewhere in the middle. But I'll die on the hill that the Arcturian Heresy is absolute horseshit written by a madman, and comparable to the scribbles of a paranoid schizophrenic on an anti-vax forum. Anyone who references that volume in regards to Tiber Septim and the forming of the empire is an impressionable dweeb.

Hate when that happens..

Yeah, the white, brown and green uniform.

Monolith look so rad.

I rage nearly every day when a bag either rips beside the seal, or has such garbage perforations that you have to use scissors on it regardless of their presence.

After some digging I've learned I'm misremembering it being Homey, and it was instead the 1991 film Shakes the Clown.

Realized this having been Homey is a false memory, and found out it was Shakes the Clown.

I've come to learn from other responses that this was likely not a Homey movie, but I've always believed since childhood that it was. Someone said it might be called Vulgar (2000), but that seems too late in my life to correlate to the movie we saw. I'm currently digging to figure out what it was. I swear the men sitting around talking about pussy were clowns.

Edit: Looks like it was Shakes the Clown.

Homey the Clown Shakes the Clown. Dad took that shit out after three lines. Maybe. The movie started with a group of clowns/men discussing their pussy preferences.

Veggie ball is full of pieces of corn, bell pepper, onion, etc. It's colorful inside and out. Tastes heavily of those things too. The plant-based ball resembles a brown meatball in both appearance and consistency, but made entirely with plant-based ingredients. They're awesome on a bun with marinara and mozzarella.

It's actually wild how insecure people get over the subject of veganism. I still browse Facebook as a lifeline back to my friends and family back home, and for some reason my algorithm serves me up pro-meat posts jam packed full of rednecks losing their minds over vegans and making piles of meat and juice their personality. I eat meat myself (albeit in very small quantities compared to before) and I just don't get the insecurity.

Maybe it's being married to a lifelong vegetarian that helps, but man, I've honestly come to enjoy a lot of meat alternatives. Beyond Burgers/Sausages are great. IKEA's plant-based balls are too (their veggie balls still suck ass and just taste like bell peppers). Gardein's supreme chick'n nuggets/fillets and 7-grain tenders are also delicious.

Shit has really come a long way and it's gotten to where larger portions of meat actually rip my intestines apart and give me disgusting bouts of gas and bloating. Basically just down to the occasional fast food burger, chicken quesadillas and seafood. Meat is still really tasty, but the vegans are right. At this point we're just eating it because it tastes good. The longer I go without relying on it, the more fucked up the entire industry becomes to me.

My cat is also named Mimo, though his government name is Milo. But I've never called him Milo a day of his life.

Bet you look rad as hell, though.

Lol, yeah.. I've seen other people's inventory in screenshots and a lot of them are wearing an exosuit just to lug around twelve different rifles and machine guns.

I often struggle while playing STALKER (especially Anomaly) because I feel like I should only realistically carry two guns, but here I am with an AR, a hunting rifle, a shotgun, and a sidearm.

Sigur Ros if I had to guess. They invented a sad and hypnotic sort of language to sing their songs in.

Tracks include:

Papa's Little Baby Mimo

Do You Ever Mimo-Berry-Boy

Asha Luego

Two Many Kitties

There are probably more but these are most regularly in rotation.
