A fun way to confuse people: “Man look at the ass on that pussy!”

Jayonnaise… Lmao amazing

No, not like.

Yeah… About that… I cook on a more conceptual level than a recipe level (not trying to sound smart, quite the opposite, it’s laziness lol)… From what I read people saying about baking being so precise it’s a wonder anything I make actually comes out good lol

It’s basically a simple yeast risen dough with a bunch of sugar as well. I use bread flour instead of all purpose as it retains more water and ends up softer. The “pretzelness” comes from a baking soda & water bath you give them before adding salt and baking. Just add some baking soda to hot water and toss them in it for a few seconds or so. From what I understand, the more basic the solution the better so people used to use Lye, but that’s kinda dangerous and baking soda does the trick.

This is the recipe I used to get the gist of making pretzels I just don’t twist them into pretzels I make rolls out of the dough.

I think there’s some AI nonsense going on in the beginning there because it calls out baking soda as a leavening agent but that’s not what it’s being used for in this recipe.

Making and eating pretzel bread.

It’s a very temporary simple pleasure, because then I go to my doctor for a checkup and get sad because of all the pretzel bread lol

I just want to second the comment here about a high yield savings account, or even a CD. They’re both low/no risk investments. If the money you have is just sitting there you might as well be getting interest on it and a high yield savings, or a CD, aren’t exposed to the market so you can only lose if the bank shuts down and the FDIC can’t reimburse you, but if that happens we all have much bigger issues to worry about lol

I’m in a much worse situation than you, also at 40, so I definitely feel your pain here. Single, renting a garage “apartment,” working a shitty dead end factory job, and no inheritance to ever expect to receive. I too don’t feel like a real adult, but a failure of a human. So you’re not alone there for sure.

I was thinking about this yesterday, isn’t our “retirement” system a sort of reverse socialist policy? It’s socialist policy for corporations.

You pay a corporation so they can benefit (stocks) until you are old enough to retire and then pray there is money left to take back out to retire with as opposed to just fucking paying taxes and then the government would give you a retirement distribution when it’s time…

It’s something I tried to remind myself of when I was having a bad day at work at a previous job as a service tech. On the days I was driving into or around Manhattan I’d just take in the skyline and tell myself that it’s pretty amazing I get to see this.

It is kinda wild to know so many people have only ever seen it in movies and I’m just driving into it to go to some hole in the wall ice cream shop and squeeze into the tiniest space imaginable to try to fix a machine lol

Duh-atta.

The Wayward realms!

It’s supposed to be a spiritual successor to daggerfall made from some of the original elder scrolls team members, unfortunately one of which recently passed away.

Still have until the 1st to back their Kickstarter and get alpha access next month.

I’ll probably catch some hate for this one, but also Squadron 42 from the not so loved star citizen devs. Seeing what star citizen can do when it’s working though has me pretty excited to see what a single player game, that doesn’t rely on servers that are perpetually on fire, will be like.

If you imagine a brown cow and then imagine shaking it you can have even more fun thoughts about fresh chocolate milkshakes!

…That is how it works, right?

“Wanna see my camper pull a wheelie?”

Statistically I think it should be Mohammed

My coworker outed himself as fucking awful. He was talking about the game and how he’s so hyped about it and then says “they even have pride parades, so you know what I’m doing!” and makes a gesture of loading a shotgun…

I figured he was that kind of asshole but he never said anything that direct before.

I used to read up on a bunch of conspiracies but I don’t think I ever really believed any of them too much, but if I had to say one specific conspiracy I do believe in it’s the tech bro oligarchy. People like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are young enough and have essentially unlimited resources to enact their plan for “the world” as it were. Unfortunately I really believe they’re going to succeed eventually.

We just need to bring about the war of the sk8r bois and she’ll return to us!

That’s just a conspiracy from Big Conspiracy to sell more conspiracies!

It kills me when people give up the concept of having power within themselves and instead attribute it to “God.”

My grandmother would do this all the time. She would never accept that her determination, her skill, her prowess got her where she was, it was always “I thank God that he did this for me.”…NO GRANDMA, YOU DID THIS! It’s so frustrating to see people feel essentially powerless unless God does it for them.

Sounds like it would taste kinda shitty to me.
