    I've heard Melania was a tone deaf self congratulatory dumpster fire but I'll never watch it to find out.

    My spouse and child both hate olives and mushrooms but I personally think they are absolutely essential in a good spaghetti sauce or pizza. Whenever I make either one I always make half the batch without olives or mushrooms. If they don't like it I won't try to force it on them, if they ever change thier mind they can steal it from my plate.

    Personally I am not a vegan and I couldn't give a shit less.

    But............ I still have an awesome vegan chili recipe for the occasions when I have a vegan friend over. Hopefully I have another vegan recipe nailed down before the next visit and if not I bet they will appreciate it anyway because I cared enough to try.

    It's just good manners.

    I feel this comment, why folks can't just accept you don't like certain things is beyond my understanding.

    IMO the acceptable amount is zero and fuck you if you try to tell me otherwise. Onions are absolutely vile and they ruin everything they touch. I have had to resort to saying I have IBS because if I just say "hey I don't like onions please don't put them in my food" there is always some prick who ignores it and does it anyway or they try to tell me some bullshit like "you would love them if you tried x or y" no, I wouldn't.

    I cannot understand why people can't just accept that I hate them and do not for any reason want to eat them. People act like its a personal offense if I won't eat whatever dish they ruined with onions, I get it you like them and thats fine for you. But stop trying to feed them to me, it's disrespectful and I just don't have the time or patience for niceties anymore.

    I don't understand how the government thought this was going to work. Everyone I've spoken to knew kids would find a way to circumvent it immediately.

    I find it baffling how they can constantly shove all the worst things into a browser and then get people who not only evangelize it but are now dumb enough to pay for it.

    I stop playing a game when I'm done, whether that means I finished the main quest or the whole game or I just got bored depends on the game. But I have never continued playing a game just to get 100%.

    If people keep using VPNs to bypass bullshit laws then maybe you should repeal the bullshit laws.

    It's $525 just to change spark plugs on a 5th gen Caravan because you have to remove the intake.

    LOL, the horn in my truck is so old and barely functional that it sounded like a meek little squeek. I laughed my ass off, definately improved my mood. Thanks for the suggestion.
