Lenapehoking is where I was born, grew up, and still live and work today. (Specifically NYC/northern New Jersey.) This is more or less my home country and probably always has been, and I generally have always said this area is where I'm from instead of saying the US, but especially more recently.

According to that Clearsky website I am on a blocklist for being anti-genAI but for some reason the list also suggests people on it are against GLP-1 medication... ...I happen to be on a GLP-1 to treat my insulin resistance caused by my autoimmune thyroid disorder.
The StarFox 64 remake is gorgeous but they changed the dialogue of the boss in Sector Y so he no longer shrieks "COCKY LITTLE FREAKS!" at you when you hit him and this has made me so sad.
I got one. I went with the Jalen Brunson-suggested additions of hash browns and chipotle mayo and getting it on an everything bagel. That is the single most filling BEC I have ever had in my life. Obviously athletes need more food than people like me but holy...
