  • My wife accuses me of being a picky eater, but I don’t think I am; I try to avoid eating mammals as much as possible (but if I’m at a party and that’s what’s being served or if there’s leftover that will just go in the trash, it’s fair game) and don’t like anything with ricotta cheese in it. I’m also a bit weary of mozzarella unless it’s cold or on pizza. That’s about it tho. She’s a pescatarian, but doesn’t like fish(so really just shrimp and plant based proteins provided they don’t taste like meat) and is watching her cholesterol, so trying to avoid foods that are high in saturated fat. That generally narrows down our food choices on its own, so when she asks me what I want for a meal, I try to take that into consideration first and then try to figure out what I’m in the mood for out of what’s left, so I guess that makes it seem like I’m the picky one.

  • The whole movie from start to finish looked terrible; the original trilogy looked so much better than this movie. To call out one scene in particular, the AT-ATs on the cliff side - I saw the trailer and said, “damn, I hope they clean that up before the movie comes out” and they didn’t.

  • It feels like people have gotten much worse at driving in general over the last four years. Distracted driving is a big portion of that, but I think everyone is getting dumber, less empathetic towards others and they are incapable of feeling shame now.

    Every time I drive to work on the highway there’s a ton of traffic in the left lane and then there’s always some clueless idiot driving slower than the people in the middle lane holding up all the people behind them. This happens at least three times in each direction of my 30 mile commute.

    People sit at the stoplights on their phones and when you honk at them a few seconds after the light turns green, they get mad at you.
