I mean, unless there is no major global war from now until the heat death of the universe or some other extinction level event, aren’t we just perpetually going towards WW3?

If it’s any consolation I’ve been on at LEAST 80% Huel (and this is surely a low-ball; on the vast majority of days I’ll go 100% Huel) since 2020 and my recent blood panel came back great.

I’m interested in the ‘live like it’s early 2020’ bit; what do you mean there?

Even just the name Penny Arcade had me in flashbacks!

What changed? I’ve always seen them as a cesspit but even from a distance I can tell they’ve gotten lots worse lately; been using since 2009 or so.

There’s a Pratchett quote that goes something like,

Your post reminded me of that.

More varied formalwear than “suit with some superficial variations” (tux, 2- or 3-piece, colors, tie variety). Broader range of styles.

I think you win just for originality and not “witnessed very violent happening.”

Not that violence isn’t fucked up, too, but…Jesus.
