Nice setup. I don’t know if I’m going to resort to something like that quite yet, but we’ll see!

Interesting. I’ve not used the type with the spring before. I just bought a bunch of shit on Amazon so we’ll see if something helps. I went with a silicone backing plate instead of an aluminum one. Might wear out quick but my thought is to dampen the vibrations. Idk. Got me a new plate today too!

Man I’m sorry to hear. You’re already diabetic so I mean carbs are out…but I mean I feel like fats and sodium aren’t going to be as much of a worry until you also have high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Altho once you do then you’re fucked I guess. Can’t enjoy anything anymore. I’ve heard of salt substitutes, but I don’t know much about them.

Lol well you aren’t wrong!

I mean, the vast majority of menu items are carbs, cheese, and protein. There’s really hardly veggies in there at all. A nominal amount of shredded lettuce is really nothing compared to fruit and a salad.

If I ever get rich, I’m getting a maid and a chef. Or honestly if if android service bots become affordable, I’d get one. Idc if I’m at risk of a robot uprising…household chores are too annoying and never ending!!

Weird I have heard of KFC being very lauded in the UK. It always confused me as an American because it always seemed very mid to me. I was wondering if you guys had way better quality KFC than us or something. Now I’m wondering the same for Popeyes.

You were with me until the latter part. People aren’t hitting up a sit down restaurant when they want fast food because they want to get in and get out without having to leave their car.

I have a Chick Fil A literally a 2 minute walk from me. I go often because of convenience. I don’t have to wait in a long line in my car and because it’s one of the few fast food joints that offers healthier alternatives like grilled chicken nuggets, salads, fruit, sides of kale, etc. It’s not a common occurrence to have options like that at a fast food place. The Chick Fil A and Taco Bell are right next to each other, but I end up going to the Chick Fil A 9 times out of 10 over Taco Bell because of this.

I agree that it’s not worth going out of your way over. But it does have some big perks over other fast food joints.

My brother actually likes it there because they are one of the few fast food places that still have a play place for kids.

Edit: Huh, weird. I was trying to respond to the dude who said you should get a better sandwich from a bar instead.

I guess what my ramble was trying to say is that I didn’t even clock it as blackface because it’s so “poorly done” that it didn’t even come across that way until I read the comment and then stared at it in confusion. I’m not saying that it “doesn’t count if AI does it”, just that it’s a confusing photo.

How am I supposed to take this image? Legitimate question.

Is that what I’m supposed to be looking at? Does it really count as a racist caricature if it is just some sort of weird uncanny valley image?

I’m guessing you mean blackface. But the person doesn’t look at all black or even like blackface. There is just some weird tinting effect happening. It’s like if someone described what blackface is to a blind person…but while trying to describe it, they had a mouth full of marshmallows

Sorry for my ramble and I hope this isn’t offensive to comment. I’m just confused. Is it really even attempting to be blackface?

Sadly my bike only has two upper mount holes and no lower mount holes. The holes are very wide and oblong too, so the thumb screws only sit tight when they are positioned just so. Not sure yet how I want to go about securing it tightly. I don’t really want to Loctite it on tbh but idk.

Holy shit that is fucking ridiculous. If they literally saw your plate fall off then they should have let you retrieve it. Shit behavior imo.

My case was actually food poisoning. 😞 At least it didn’t last too long!

Idk maybe, but you sound a bit like my coworker. She overthinks shit to death more than anyone else I know. Because the times she doesn’t, she thinks this stuff happens, as you say.

And you know what…to some degree it can. But I think the bigger thing is to learn to be ok with the mess. Because you aren’t perfect. No one is. More relaxed people seem to be tolerant of a higher degree of “mess” that you are. And they lead much happier lives that way.

I know…easier said than done. And the “mess” can be scary and unpleasant. But learning to let go can really do wonders for mental health.

Pro tip…always keep a solid (not mesh) trash can in your bathroom. Hopefully you’ll never need to…but if you ever need to puke and shit simultaneously, you’ll be thankful.

God, j would eat the shit out of whatever the fuck that food is rn. But it’s bedtime so I guess I’ll just go to sleep. :pp
