LOL

First in what way is Sanderson similar to Clancy? Sanderson books are massive tomes of epic fantasy. Also how is it not “literature”? Or do you just consider only non-fiction “literature”

Instead of reading Clancy read Matthew Reilly. I suggest you start with Ice Station. It’s got everything you need, French Baddies, Spaceships, Hovercraft, and even killer Killer whales!

Just start saying “Oh geez!” Like Morty and people will beg you to go back to Oh Boy

Record your child when they are young… There is some internal biological thing going on. My daughter could wake me up out of a slumber that a freight train running by my pillow would not.

I think even an infant crying would get most people, even if childless.

But to me it implies they are making consoles that would never be sold.

It might not be the same level, but it’s the same rationale.

Honestly I took a pretty long hiatus from sweets/ice cream.

But now that I have a kid who wants to try things, I am buying it occasionally again. I have been disturbed by most of what I have tried recently. Only have had good luck with small overpriced premium labeled products.

Will definitely look at Haagen as it seems to be everywhere.

I don’t eat cream all that often, and I try to buy the better brands, but I guess I actually need to figure out what ingredients I hate and read the labels. Ninja creami sounds neat, but I dont eat ice cream enough to warrant the counter space.

I am from the US and I first noticed it a long time ago with certain novelty type ice cream products. Then eventually it seemed like some of the cheaper brands changed to add whatever softening thing to it. Now it seems like almost all brands have it, even regional brands known for their quality seem to be the same.

I almost remember it was advertised by the regional brand Friendly’s as “creamy”, and you could buy other flavors and avoid it… but now it’s all seems to be like that.

Also, they just don’t really seem to freezer burn nearly as bad, which is nice… if you liked the product in the first place.

We all know what kind of threat Trump represents.

No we all most certainly don’t. I can’t tell you the number of conversations I have had with people on both sides of the political spectrum haven’t heard of project 2025 or many of his policy proposals. The ones who have heard about them mostly don’t seem to believe then.

The most common response to “watch out we’re marching towards fascism” is always some variant of “This is America. It can’t happen here”

Won’t they just put out a kidnapping notice? Then they get arrested, and bad person gets the kid.

If you haven’t already tried it, “The easy way to quit smoking” by Allen Carr has helped many people. I haven’t tried his other subjects, but I recall his take on smoking in the book to seem relatively revolutionary to me at the time.

I believe thats what they are insinuating

Least right wing.

When my wife first mentioned she was using one, I had the same initial reaction lol

They are actually one of the safer plug in type heaters.

Are we assuming we can go back? Or are you just stuck with dinos as your friends now?

Would be funny if you caused an early blitz that petered out, and then the coin never became the number one coin.
