Falling into a nice comfy bed when you’re exhausted and just passing out
Using an actual flushing toilet after being out in the wilderness for even just a few days
Orgasms
Eating your favorite meal
Having your back scratched or getting a massage
Apparently I think the best feelings have to do with the physical and not the mental, not sure why that is
Man Push Cart, it’s about an immigrant trying to make ends meet while living in NYC.
1999 - Taco Bell nachos did me in, never ate there or at any Taco Bell ever again.
2004 - Some sushi joint outside of Tacoma, WA, I had the shrimp tempura. Nothing tasted off, but that was my first experience with it coming out of both ends at the same time.
2005 - I was an idiot that thought, for God knows what reason, that the floor of the trailer I called home at the time while stationed in Iraq would remain cold enough to keep a can of Fritos dip cool after I opened it (we did not have a fridge). I was very very wrong and paid the price later the following evening after finishing the dip that day, and that was my second experience with it coming out both ends at the same time. I know it was my own fault, but I still can’t eat those dips to this day.
Fast forward to 2020 - 2023, something is making me randomly ill on a monthly, sometimes weekly basis. I eat a regular meal, 30 minutes later I’m in the bathroom with horrible cramps and shits. It took me nearly 3 years to figure out that I’d become lactose intolerant due to age (this is apparently a common occurrence as you get older). Haven’t had any issues now that I know to avoid most dairy, but I can immediately tell if I’ve unknowingly ingested some, because it feels like I’ve been poisoned 15 minutes into consuming it. Then comes the frantic race to swallow as much Lactaid and lactase pills as I can to calm the storm before it can reach my intestines.
Everyone else in your life that isn’t immoral (if you’re the only one who is) dies eventually, so every time you make a friend or start a family, you do so knowing that you will have to watch them all die someday.
Blue and black because I think I look better in those colors compared to other colors.
Get an electric paraffin wax bath for hands. They’re like $40 or less and are reusable as long as the wax remains clean. You dip your hands into the melted wax and then peel it off a few minutes later and your hands feel amazing. It’s also great in the winter time when your hands get dry and cold .
I have some spices that are probably pushing 15 years that are just fine.
Yup, exactly. It just seems like there’s no time to relax when you have kids, you always have to be “on”.
I used to take a bus home from work, and a woman that lived in my apartment took the same bus, so we always ended up walking into the building together. I’ll never forget that EVERY time when she opened her apartment door, you could hear two little kids yell “MOMMY!” the second that door was opened. Maybe some people love that, but to me it always filled me with a sense of dread and exhaustion. Here was this woman who just spent a full day at work and now she has to come home and essentially start her second job of being with her kids, who of course want all her attention. I felt horrible for her, and it wasn’t like she was skipping home all happy to see them, either.
It’s awesome. Sure, I have moments in life that suck regardless, but in those moments I always think to myself “Wow, this would be even worse if I had kids.”
I wish I could dance. I have rhythm, just not with my body.
Elder Scrolls 6 being released in my lifetime
I’d do my best to try and fall back to sleep. I’d try until 6am, then give up and get up.
Interesting! Thanks for the link!
That sounds amazing but alas, bananas and plantains make my stomach hurt, so I avoid anything related.
Pasta with ketchup instead of tomato sauce
Rice with ketchup
Ketchup with ketchup
I love ketchup
Hell yes, TFP Starscream is so over the top. At first I was like WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO HIM but the more you watch the series, the more hilarious he becomes. TFP was so great on so many levels.
Alex Milne is my favorite artist in the IDW comics. My partner got a commission from him of Fortress Maximus for my birthday one year and it’s like my most prized possession ever, his work is so intricate and amazing.
Nope, never. My retirement plan is a ditch with a nice view of the Rockies in Colorado and a bottle of gin on a cold winter night. Everything I’ve saved into (SS, TSP, retirement accounts) will inevitably disappear before I can access them/hit the age requirements. I don’t trust the system at all (I didn’t trust it before the election outcome either). I’m fucked. We’re all fucked. Might as well live it up now while I still can.
