Getting an endorsement deal out of it is rare - usually confined to anthropomorphs. I just don't see a satisfying career path there for a man of his obvious abilities.
I so wish I could find the New Zealand safety warning about trains on youtube. It's fourteen different kinds of retarded. Something like:
"Trains are fast. ...Sometimes they come from directions you're not expecting."
So, my lifelong scheme of "stay away from train tracks = safe from trains" is thin protection?
Sorry, not trains are fast. Trains are big.

Oh no! They travel in packs, now!?!

Kevin Olusola is amazing and that isn't even a good video of him.

i visited new york twice a couple years ago. two things that stick out to me that my girlfriend at the time told me:
1. don't say, "how you doin" to the guy in a suit standing outside of the restaurant. just walk past, don't look, and don't say anything.
2. watch out for homeless people at the subway. sometimes they push people in for fun or out of spite. goddamn
damn new yawkers

does anybody ever get a really, really strong urge to bump a thread? Me neither, so I guess this is as good of a place as any to put that thought

Due to how common this seems to be I thought I'd leave this here.

What's ejaculation?
It's the process of raising a car off the ground. The strain can make you feel like you need to pee.

something i typed up for a friend on the issue of where i think the entitlement mentality of our society comes from. figured it's worth sharing. topic came up because it's a mutual friend's bday and i have a penchant for not celebrating holidays where people get gifts, partly for the reason laid out, but also for others
wufwugy 5:08 pm
well long story short, its mainly about xmas stuff than bday stuff, but bday counts too. basically the super "entitlement" mentality we have in this country, which we do but not precisely in the way people use it, but we do have it, i theorize is largely due to being raised in a culture that teaches us that we get stuff just for being us. like with xmas, it's the most important day of any child's life and he looks forward to it sooooooooooo much and thinks soooooooooo much about it and all it really is is him just anticipating and receiving things just because he's alive. things like xmas and bdays where we celebrate the person "just because" i think has had some of the worse cultural effects on us

i should clarify that when what is important in your life is stuff that you are simply given because you're you, it changes your entire outlook even on the most subliminal level. so i contend that when young adults today exhibit such entitlement attitudes and they cant deal with the stresses of real life and a myriad of other related problems, it's really because their entire lives they were taught that important things were going to be given to them. they never learned what it means to achieve things
wufwugy 5:26 pm
contrast this to my father, who was never given anything ever. he was made to work for every single thing he's ever had when he was a child, and as an adult he has carried those values with him. when life gets him down he doesnt blame the system or others, he simply tries to work harder to fix it. i think if he was raised to believe he was special just becuase he was alive, his approach to obstacles would be like ours today where we blame outside factors, which is ultimately just a rebellion against the idea that we can't just have what we want by existing

WHAT THE FUCK
That's awesome. I just need to figure out how to use this information to my advantage.
Just went to the gym and exercised for the first time in 3 yrs. Prior to that I surfed 2 to 3 times a week. It's amazing how far my fitness level has fallen. All I did was row for 15 minutes. When I stood up my legs were like jelly. it was quite pathetic and a little embarrassing.
Tomorrow I'm gonna row for 15 mins and then have a swim.
I will be fit!
so legit.
incoming randomness, on the randomness thread.
i've realized that potatoes are my favorite veggie.
also, yesterday morning i made biscuits, bacon, and bacon gravy from scratch. took about 2 hrs, i was close to murdering all humans near me.
also learned how to make yeast rolls from scratch as well, took my mom 15 yrs to figure everything out by herself, took me asking her how to make them, and NAILED THE FUCK OUTTA MAKIN' YEAST ROLLS, MOTHA FUCKA!
btw, potato soup with bacon is AMAZING.
fry the bacon first, take out bacon, leave the grease [ldo], add water, milk, butter, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, minced onions, turmeric, then cut the taters in 1 inch cubes, let 'em cook, add instant potatoes to thicken, add bacon, and wah-la! fucking amazing mother fuckin' potato and bacon soups.
so, hay. s'up? i like titties.
What Wuf said.
Potatoes aren't veggies they are 100 sugar. Nobody loves potatoes, we love what we put on the potatoes. Butter, seasoning, gravy, cheese, ketchup.... That's what we love.
LOTR You keep nassty chips! - YouTube
i'm changing my response.
Would you say the same thing to an athlete, someone who does physical labor for a living, or someone who wants to gain (muscular) bodyweight?
Not everyone is overweight and underactive, and there can be good reasons to add some carbs to meals. Potatoes have real nutrition and are much better than actual sugar.
good lord. i say something about liking potatoes, and some of y'all are all "ermergerd, is nat fewd, is candy!11!1!!"
i'm sure it could be worse. it could be like fried butter or some shit.
Potato soup is amazing indeed
I love pump cheese. DON'T FUCKING JUDGE ME.
put that shit on lobster right...
Instant potatoes are great! I guess there could be low-quality products out there, but the good brands are well worth it.
How long has it been since you all went to college? Instant potatoes take(s) only hot water to make (you can add milk and butter if you have that stuff).
You can eat it in a hurry and/or on the go.
It keeps your stomach from growling for at least an hour.
*note: Add some beef jerky or some other portable protein source and you can make and eat your lunch in about 5 minutes.
This will keep stomach from growling for 2+ hours.
Pro Tip: add a piece of fruit to eat as you go or drink a glass of juice.
Oh, forgot about the cheese bit that I added. It was about half a cup of ground Parmesan.
Oh - and I'm aware that it would already thicken a bit with the potatoes, but, I like it a bit thicker, and tbh, you can't tell there's any instant potatoes in it, because of all the spices and whatnot in it, already.
But, agreed, instant potatoes with themselves are usually gag worthy, and look similar to chunky baby vomit.
btw, I made 20 yeast rolls last night, there's like 11 left. I've had one. I think people may like them.
Meh, I'll just stop chiming in on other's cooking failures. I was a failure at the stove too at one point. It's good to see people making and effort and actually cooking for themselves. Just keep trying to make better stuff with less and less premade/canned ingredients. It's really not that hard if you understand what you're doing and have the right tools.
Boost - should start thickening it with cornstarch/milk, instead of the instant potato shit? Everything else, besides the instant potatoes isn't pre-made/canned. I'm tryin' to get better at this becoming one with my gender thing.
About a week ago, I attempted putting rice with the potato soup, and well, didn't turn out well. Put the rice in BEFORE the potatoes, 8 potatoes, btw. Ended up scorching all of it. Rice was burnt to the fucking bottom. Nearly cried.
Just thicken it with potatoes? Potato soup is generally pureed, if you still want some of the chunks, then strain some of them out and blend the rest. I mean, that's essentially what you're doing with the instant mashed potatoes-- making really thin mashed potatoes. So why not just do it with actual potatoes?
Rice in potato soup seems a bit strange-- As for it burning, not quite sure how you accomplished that-- probably just had the flame too high before the rice could cook, so it just sank to the bottom, stuck, and burnt.
Hmn, I think I'm doing it completely different. I suppose the type of soup I'm doing would be considered more of a stew more than anything else, then.
I just cut them up in about inch cubes. I've yet to puree any of them. However, I may start doing this, once I get the equipment, or I could just take half of the potatoes out, and mash them with a fork.
I think you're making soup. To be clear, the pureeing would be done after everything is cooked.
Maybe try finding recipes to work from, so you have a sort of foundation. Once you learn to make a few basic soups, it's pretty easy to figure out how to do a different main ingredient. For example, if you can make clam chowder, you can make corn chowder, salmon chowder, etc etc.
hehe nice ^

I hypothesis that most mammals are not much less conscious than humans, if at all; they just don't express their emotions in ways we understand due to lack of vocal chords. We already know beyond a reasonable doubt that dolphins are about as smart as humans, perhaps even smarter yet still unable to express as much due to mechanical handicaps like no hands and voice boxes
I can't agree with that, well it would depend on your exact definition of 'conscious', but humans developed their intelligence (large brains) over a relatively short period of time, mostly due to sexual selection for intelligence. And with that comes an inevitable higher sense of self-consciousness because of the ability to make longterm decisions. If dolphins had this too then they would have evolved more tools (like fins shaping into handlike things and better communicational options), as this would be selected upon.
