Arlo and Janis’ author seems to be of the Baby Boomer generation.

Johnson was born and grew up in Lanett, Alabama, graduating from Lanett High School in 1970.

Assuming he graduated at 17-18, he’d have been born around 1952.

Ahahaha

In a way he kinda complimented you! You don’t look or seem old, at least 😆

Memento mori: “Remember you’ll die”

Nobody is immortal, anything can take you out. Excellent examples lol

Baseball is the socially acceptable background noise for sitting in public and drinking beer, tbf

“Turns out I didn’t graduate after all” nightmares love to haunt me during particularly stressful times

I miss PugJesus and their context/sources lol it’s hard to find anything off a Startpage search atm outside of the basic lead-made-the-Roman-empire-fall theory.

Speculating here - it’s possible that the ancient Romans who knew were about as equally numbered as today, but also like today, stubbornly willful ignorance and/or economic interests outweighed the voices calling for its cessation?

It could also be logistics - communications being fragmented and/or unable to source materials to replace the infrastructure rather than simply “not knowing”

That’s fundamentally wrong; the hands did not cross but rather land in emphasis on either side of one’s crotch to show the audience, precisely, what to “suck”

You are awesome thank you for sharing all this context 😄

That all makes a lot of sense, there’s definitely similar concepts today where it’s understood that the dose makes the poison, so to speak.

I’ll have to check out that book it sounds fascinating, for sure

This is even funnier considering Nelson Mandela was freed from prison in 1990

At least it’s alive 😅

Anon asks the internet if they’re allowed to consent to a dynamic that works for them

It’s okay I didn’t need hands or a face anyway

Sing us a song, you’re the piano man

My family calls MicroCenter “the toy store” for that very reason.

Big + little = funny

Furries are the backbone of a healthy digital ecosystem. Not only from them creating and signaling generally inclusive spaces, but also the venn diagram overlap between furries and software developers is not small lol

The earth is a centrally distributed currency not backed by any tangible collateral

Spend it with as much family as I could, both human and nonhuman.

Adding to the other commenters’ fantastic explanations, some minor tips:

Spices: basil, oregano, a quarter handful of bay leaves, thyme. Cover the whole pot with a generous layer of each, then stir in. If it gets too acidic, add a tiny dash of sugar. Beyond that is chef’s creativity, make it your own.

Time: A decent sauce is 3ish hours. Great sauces are all-day sauces. The best sauces are all-day sauces that are re-simmered for half an hour or so the next day.

Extra: Homemade sauce stores really well. Toss leftovers in a container in the freezer. Will last you a couple months at least.
