  • Yeah I also love spicy food, from “moderate spicy” to “crazy spicy”. My husband surprised me with the Buldak Ramen that went viral for a second for being banned in Finland or Denmark or whatever. I ate all four of the packs after a time, but never repurchased.

    But I like your comment because you highlight how hot sauces are a mixed bag. My all time favorite hot sauces are usually habanero based, despite that not being the world’s hottest pepper. They’re just like…the perfect general kick of spice.

    I also tend to prefer certain hot sauces for certain things. Nando’s Extra Hot is fucking GOAT for all fried chicken things. Fast food nuggets/tenders, fried chicken breasts/wings, homemade fried chicken, there just isn’t a better sauce. I go through the large bottles easy. It just has that spicy tang that elevates chicken specifically, which makes sense because that’s what Nando’s is known for.

    But then my favorite for topping pizza, or quesadillas, or mac and cheese or anything “cheesy” is Mad Dog 57. I find it hot to the point of discomfort unless the dairy is there to mitigate some of the heat. Its fire with anything cheese though.

    But a good habanero spread on a sandwich, or a habanero based sauce drizzled over fries or breakfast tacos or eggs or like…pretty much anything? Chef’s Kiss Fucking perfection.


  • I canceled my Hilton Honors account.

    Fuck they were SO GOOD for pet friendly travel.

    But wherever there was a Hilton Garden Inn there’s USUALLY a Hyatt Place too, and they are also pretty reliably pet friendly. Not owned by the same people either, I checked.

    Until I discover what they’ve done wrong as I’m sure its something.




  • So she’s actually as repugnant as he is, and her views are just as bad. I can’t remember her name and I can’t be bothered to look it up because fuck her, but she’s a minor influencer in the Conservative sphere. She goes on the streets and does those stupid shock value “interviews” with strangers.

    For anyone curious, this is from a series that a Lefty political commentator, Luke Beasley, did, where he and her sat together and tried to have measured discussions about their views. It was interesting, but it only went on for about 6 episodes, and it was rocky the entire way.

    Its all up on YouTube. And I watched. And despite her showing the smallest glimmer of understanding occasionally, she ultimately could not be convinced to change her views. It didnt help that her vile ass husband was behind the camera the entire time.

    Lastly, her husband didnt overtly say the above quote verbatim, but it was definitely heavily implied. This wasn’t putting words in his mouth, its a legit view he has.





  • Truth. 3 years ago my “New Years Resolution” was to floss every day.

    I knew I was going to have to make it obscenely easy to do in order for me to stick with it.

    I do a suuuuuper quick run through every morning with a disposable pick BEFORE I brush, and my annual dental visits since have been night and day. I really don’t even have to try very hard and my gums don’t bleed anymore either!

    Its about taking better care of your mouth - not perfect care.





  • I, as a pro-birth control/pro-choice lady, believe lady-oriented birth control has nothing to do with that (perhaps naiively).

    Pregnancy, even the healthiest, safest ones, are hard on our bodies. That means that anything that prevents them is theoretically better than if we’re constantly/repeatedly pregnant. Even if its harmful for mental health or long term effects on organs. Pregnancy fucks us up outright both mentally and physically. Like day one.

    Obviously I’m simplyifying a bit, but you understand the gist of my logic.

    Men dont have HAVE to deal with pregnancy, period, so anything that introduces harm, even minutely, is automatically a worse quality-of-life option for them.

    Am I pro-male birth control? Hell yeah I am. I just recognize that they’re giving up more than we would be to accept the same risks, given that they dont have to experience pregnancy to begin with, and I dont trust/expect them to do that.

    Therefore, it makes logical sense to me that we’re the ones targeted.





  • I’ve never been to SF, but we just moved to NorCal earlier this year and I’m SO stoked to visit. I absolutely believe that there’s a homeless issue there because I’ve been to major metropolitan areas before: Houston, Baltimore, Vegas, Paris, Tokyo, etc etc etc but I simply do NOT buy into the hype of there just being endless amounts of human shit and discarded needles in the streets.

    In my head, I have it built up as this glamorous place with good food and pretty bay views with the huge hills and colorful houses and streetcars.

    Honestly I think I want to spend my birthday there in March, and I’m pretty excited. Any and all bar/museum/restaurant/atlas obscura oddity recc’s welcome from locals/people who have been are welcome!




  • Such a missed opportunity for great co-op Sims games. I LOVED the co-op Sims 2.

    There are co-op mods for Sims 4, but you and your friend have to go in and manually disable any packs that the other doesn’t have, and it gets a little buggy every once in a while.

    Still grateful it exists!
