This is literally 1984. We shouldn't applaud when they propose a surveillance state

Not sure if anyone cares to know but i decided to go with stubbs bbq sauce. First i put on a dry rub of Pappys dry rub and cooked to 160 internal. Then i followed up with stubbs bbq sauce and finished at 170 degrees internal.

I didn't get down with the apple jim beam so i decided to do shots of Makers Mark cask bourbon. Might have a white claw and long Island iced tea later. Catch me on my plummet to rock bottom over on !cocktails.lemmyworld or occasionally! Cocktail.MidwestSocial

Unfortunately I think I might just have to go back to therapy because even bbqing doesn't cheer me up anymore.

Edit: the chicken has clashing flavors only fixed by getting blind drunk. Don't mix Pappys dry rub and stubbs bbq suace.

Lol imagine not being able to picture things in your head. Oh wait...

Lemmy is great and all. Love it more then I ever did reddit. But it seems like instances are more politically polarized than your average subreddit. It kinda harshes my mellow.

I do like that people feel more genuine as opposed to just broken records repeating overused talking points.

Oh please! Mr stalker is my father, call me john.

I think a dollar would be ok.

I'm a security officer. Reddit pissed me off with all the rules and I was looking for somewhere that the internet felt more like the good old days. Haven't found it yet but lemmy is like a breath of fresh air

After many hours of deliberation and a long tearful phonecall with my mother, I've decided to pass on the opportunity.

We shouldn't let the government parent our kids. I know it's human nature to be lazy, but the government isn't the answer.

I like to just browse Wikipedia. It's an endless wealth of knowledge that never ceases to impress me. It's like the modern library of Alexandria.

I also make cocktails for fun, target shoot, fish, ride trails (not trials), make pens, collect knives, play skyrim, and i cook too.

I bounce between what i focus on often.

Maybe hire a hooker. Feed my dog a steak. Write a will. Test drive a hellcat. Hire another hooker.

I'd do it in that order too

I was once held at gunpoint over a 6pack of crunch donuts. I caught a guy cutting catalytic converters out of cars, and he then proceeded to chase me with a Sawzall. I watched an elderly man get run over by his wife and as i was rendering first aid he died. A homeless man once took a boxcutter from a grocery store employee, held it to his neck and said "watch me die".

None of those were my worst day at work though. My worst day was a 16 hour shift where I had to sit in a cubicle, with no phone, tv, or ac. I was staring at a monitor showing a camera feed that was only showing a door. It was just me, alone, and bored and cold and miserable for 16 hours. I like to think that's what the CIA did to people in the 60's to mentally break them.

My local post office workers are super great. I appreciate them because they deserve appreciation.

I've butchered chickens before, admittedly a long time ago. I've never bought chicken with pinfeathers on it still though.

Wow this is messing with my brain. Never even thought of how much I associate giraffes with there spots.

Im really good at throwing balled up napkins into the trashcan.

Only problem is that I owe more than the bluebook value.

Solid meme lol

Basket Case (1982)

This movie is about twin brothers who try to find success in new york but one of the brothers is a murderous blob of flesh who lives in a basket.

It's somewhere in between. A 2012 ford mustang. Some minor scratches on the driver's side that i bought it with. The passenger side was perfect. I care a good amount but I'm not made of money. I'm definitely considering some DIY rn

Im drowning and bbq sauce is my life raft

After Man by Dougal Dixion.

It's a book about speculative biology. It hypothesizes that humanity will lead to the extinction of most of the animals we know. After that new animals will evolve to take their place. The book speculates that rabbits will take the place of deer, and that rats will evolve into dog like animals .

The best part about the book is that there are great illustrations.

To my knowledge it's not a very well known book, just because speculative biology is a very niche subject.

Theres this tiktok account that reports using the ai voice of the newscaster fish from spongebob. Surprisingly intresting news from that.

Recently i picked up an electric smoker and oh boy it's been life changing. If you want to be the "cook" in your family this is the easiest way.

Take your meat of choice and smoke it. Make sure to tell everyone how long it took to smoke so they know to tell you it tastes good

I'd rent an apartment closer to my work. I'd also pay off my car and probably get a new one. Maybe a new mustang or something like that.

It'd definitely be enough to let me live comfortably, at least comfortably enough to really enjoy my hobbies.

My local pd lets you submit police reports yourself online. I've done maybe 10 or so in the past for work. No cops required lol.

Thanks homie. I actually quit therapy the last time because my issues were caused by me being broke, alone, and working long hours. My therapist said that my money would be better put towards my bills than therapy. That no amount of coping skills would make me not poor and alone.

Well I got a better job, made friends, and and I'm lightyears ahead of where I used to be, but still i find myself thinking about ending it. Personally I think my past depression kinda fried my brain and I'm permanently broken and probably need meds to be halfass happy.

I don't have enough enough money to move into my own place, and even though that's my goal, that's what I'd define as success, I'm not sure that'd make me happy. I know myself and I know if i lived by myself I'd be lonely and probably overdependant on my work friends. Also I've been trying to date but only halfass sending likes on the apps and just a little bit of flirting with my coworkers. In fact there's this one coworker I have that's i am just illogically attracted to. Only problem is she's out of my league in looks, economical standing, has degrees and she's also older. She's so different from me though, in almost every way. I thought i leaned right politically but jeez she really showed me what it's like to be conservative in Asia.

Idk i think that's just the bourbon talking though. I think about her more than i should, that's for sure. I'd give her everything if she asked even though I know it'd be wrong.

Anyway I'm going to try to sign up for BetterHelp. Honestly I'll have to lie because they reject certain people but i just can't afford anything else rn.

I appreciate you friend. Hope to see you around lemmy soon on a more happy post.

I'm not worried about any Gmen showing up at my house. I pours water on the steps yesterday, hooked a blowtorch to my front door, and have a paint can waiting at the top of the staircase.

I make $20 at my regular job. His big pitch was that he does both at once

Bro, didn't you hear the freedom in my voice, see the bald eagles as i entered the room, feel the crack of the liberty bell when you read my name?

I bleed red white and blue, my underwear is the American flag, i have a pet AR-15, and my car sings the national anthem. I am American.

Anyway thanks for the recommendation, i appreciate it friend

No I always park away from people at work and at the grocery store, And always in the lines.I haven't gone anywhere else these past few days. That's why I'm not sure why this happened.

I was a mod for a unpopular opinion sub aimed at unpopular political opinions. It was as bad as you could imagine. At most I'd only have one or so posts a month that i didn't have to remove.

Well I don't have any nefarious plans but uh i am kinda concerned about why a company would sue an individual for creeping on another individual.

Some people care about what happens to their instances. They're all different with different rules that really do change your fediverse experience.

When an instance makes a bad decision users should condemn them. It's no different than scolding your little brother for making a mess. Constructive criticism has a place in the fediverse

Lol wild right. I think the big selling point was that i could work 2 jobs at once.

Idk who's really the options yet. Honestly though I've been reading about Third Way politicians in Pakistan and while i think their particular party sucks, id like to see something similar in the US.

By that i mean a slightly more government friendly libertarian party.

Edit: just realized i didn't answer your question. Sorry

See you over at c/EDC

As far as i can tell its just a generic sweet bbq sauce.

I get chronic migraines that are usually triggered by certain foods, stress, lack of sleep, excessive drinking, and I also seem to get them when it's most inconvenient. My go-to fix if i catch one comeing on is to pound an energy drink, take some tylenol and go take a nap. This works everytime as long as i catch it early. Like 30mins into feeling my headhurts but before it progresses into a knife in my brain.

How soon do you medicate after feeling a migraine start?

Stalker? I hardly know 'er!
