You ever see through someone's guise to see the real person underneath and recognize they're a fucking horrible human being but you keep it on the back burner because you have to be professional? Then after they leave you discover just how bad they were?

I don't even live in Michigan and I'm fucking stressed.

The spelt starter is feeding much more aggressively than all the others. Even feeding it more often and with double the feeding, it's still produced hooch. I decided to feed it a 1:10:10 ratio this morning to see if that satisfies the starter for a long enough duration.

Update on the five sourdough starters, whole wheat is outperforming everything after only two feedings. The spelt starter will likely need more frequent feedings and the dark rye, which I have begun to refer to as Darkrai, I have increased hydration by 20%.

Happy Lughnasadh to those who celebrate.

Normal people on Friday nights: go out with friends or partners. Me: decides to challenge himself to keep 5 sourdough starts alive even though he hasn't had past success with one.

Can I just say, even after becoming unaffiliated from a political party, it brings me so much joy to have been added to a text tree where Jim Risch, the living fossil himself, is shitting his pants at the idea of running against Todd Achilles without a democrat to dilute the frustrated voting pool.

76 pounds down but the food noise is still here. I just finished dinner and I'm already thinking of breakfast tomorrow morning. Maybe one day it'll go away, who knows?

For the people local to me, happy "smoke chases you around the campfire" air quality day. I'm going to ask my boss for PPE in the form of an N95 mask I can wear during the brutal air quality days we're having this week.

You know, I've been out of Utah for ten years (and the church for three) and I could have sworn pioneer day was the 21st. I guess not. It feels really weird to have forgotten this.

Why is it that some TCGPlayer sellers have a listed shipping rate for a card and then you go to your cart and suddenly the shipping rate has multiplied 5x? How is that allowed? You're shipping a card in a penny sleeve and a toploader loaded into an envelope. That's not 20 fucking dollars!

My roommate just spent ten minutes arguing with me that a film promotion is the same thing as a film review.

What in the fuck is this? Someone tell me I can tag CG or EA here. What the hell are you smoking? We could have Revan Reborn or Red 5 added to the game but you're adding Darth Fucking Jar Jar instead???? Unbelievable. Un-fucking-believable.

If the cinema was really interested in my money for any number of films, then they would label where the fucking exit for the theater is on the seat map so I can plan where to sit. I'm not interested in clambering over 47 people then walking in front of a bunch more people just to visit the head.

Having lost over 70 pounds since February, I couldn't imagine ever walking out into 102° weather thinking it was anything but oppressively hot outside. It's still uncomfortably warm but it's not as bad as I thought it would be.

I don't believe in hell, but for Lindsey Graham I'll make an exception and manifest it for him.

Dear algorithm, I love Magic but I hate Universes Beyond. Please stop pushing articles and videos about new cards from UB releases. Instead, if you can push articles and videos speculating on possible cards from Reality Fracture, that'd be great. Thanks.

Look, look, look. I'm not saying the US losing to Belgium was inevitable, I'm just saying that Belgium invented frites which we have been calling french fries so they've absolutely had a bone to pick with us the entire time. That's my take on what someone on TikTok coined as "grassketball".

Well fuck. A former coworker I used to work with 6 years ago (back when I was a Mormon) is now a current coworker at a completely different work site. I'm thrilled 🙄

I'd like to offer this as justification for why ANYONE WITH A BRAIN should Turn 0 ban Universes Beyond in commander.

Wait. There's group chats here now? Are any of my friends down to create a shitty, low effort meme group chat? (Assuming we can send images)

Every time I hop onto Dating App™️ and find a woman who identifies as moderate or apolitical, I vocally ask, "How the fuck are you moderate/apolitical in this political climate?" Like seriously. Have you not seen anything???

Today I'm officially 60 pounds down since February 23. It's a great milestone for me because it marks the lowest weight I've weighed since I started working at Local School District™️. My weight loss journey is still in the early stages but I'm happy to have made it this far. Here's to losing more!

Can I just say, FUCK UNIVERSES BEYOND. Magic has power creep like any other game, but now the only releases with any semblance of power and value are UB? Fuck that. (Brought to you by a Chatterfang player who won't get or play Squirrel Girl because she's UB)

I backed Hawthorn on Kickstarter and had a chance recently to play the proof of concept. It's soooooo good. If you are looking for a new game set in a fantasy forest where you play forest creatures, this one is for you and you don't have to take my word for it. youtu.be/7HtRx1z7jxI

I hate how I'm even suggesting this but I keep hearing my roommate saying "zero point" about whatever game he's playing (probably fortnite). I heard zero point and I keep thinking module. So maybe the best way to revive Stargate is to bring it to fortnite? (I can't believe I just said that 🤮)

Today, more than a month later, I'm a further 25 pounds lighter than when I posted this in April. I might actually be able to do this.

I've been making progress in my personal life recently. Today marks 30 pounds down since February 23 but over 50 pounds down since my heaviest [recorded] weight. I still have a ways to go, but things are feeling easier and more manageable. Going to have to invest in a new wardrobe soon 😂

Dude. I still call Twitter Twitter. Why do you think I'll call ICE anything but ICE? At the most, I'll just call them National ICE. Or, more accurately, the American Gestapo.

Theoretically speaking, if once upon a time you filled a candy bowl in your college apartment living room with an assortment of M&Ms in all shapes and sizes and then mixed in a bunch of Skittles, would that make you the bad guy? Asking for a friend.

The results from Virginia last night make me happy and then I remember that I still live in a state that's going to reelect Risch, Fulcher, and Simpson even when they actively sell out Idahoans everywhere whenever they can and there are way better candidates to choose from.
