On the subject of Christian music - at my job, we rotate through Sirius stations, as voted on by the staff. There's a bunch of late 30's/early 40's women who gang up and vote for "The Message," which is like continuous worship music. Not Christian Rock, but just modern worship music for contemporary services. Now, I am a Christian. I love Jesus. And Jesus loves me, this I know. But I fucking HATE listening to The Message. It offends me as a songwriter and a musician, because I could shit out songs equally as good as what I hear. Also, it bothers me as an employee, because it doesn't motivate me to work at all. I want upbeat. I want something SNAPPY. There's two songs that come on that always make me roll my eyes. One has the hook "Good God Almighty." I would bet money that songwriter lives in Nashville. The second is a direct rip-off of "Sister Christian."
not worried. That’s like saying a disease will take two inches off my 14” cock. At a certain point, you only need so much
the still being extremely heat sensitive and weird weight gains and losses have me convinced it’s a permanent thing and that long covid won’t ever be “solved,” but beyond that I’m not terribly concerned. People’s bodies are a lot more powerful, and resilient, than they realize. The surgery certainly did just as much damage to me, and though it took years to recover, I eventually did. so no, I’m not worried about it. I’ll be fine.
Oh my, that hits home. I've especially developed the "Difficulty finding the right word", it's become a constant irritant over the past year...it happens multiple times a day, I'll have to stop mid sentence while I struggle to find the word I want to use. Sometimes I never find it and have to work to plug some other word in so I can continue.
Of course the one thunderstorm in Texas happens on a trailer park I’m not fucking with charcoal again. Anyone know of a good portable propane griddle?
Me too, and I’ve never had COVID. It’s called old. My daughters friend and a one of the guys in my neighborhood both had COVID in January and both still have near complete loss of taste and smell.
They say men see boobs everywhere, but I have proof that babies see them everywhere too. My toddler tried to suckle these bad boys.
Damn, I hope he's okay. https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/bob-odenkirk-hospitalized-collapse-better-call-saul-1235029033/
That would be one of the last actors I’d ever want to have something bad happen to them. Hopefully just the heat got to him, he’s only recently achieved the fame he deserves.
I get Simone Biles bailing if she’s in a legit mental crisis. Not too knock her personally but it is disappointing in that ultimate competitor mindset the Olympics exemplify. For the ultimate best on the planet competition you want to see the Michael Jordan playing with 116* temperature mindset. I will say the first breathless 5 page piece calling her a hero a few hours after she withdrew got tiring real quick. The ’much hero, so brave’ reporting is just eye rollingly bad.
Would they call Brady a hero if he quit halfway through the Superbowl citing the pressure of being called the GOAT was too much?
I find it really bad too when I see a bunch of doughy losers on Twitter/internet shitting on her for being “weak”. Like Matt Walsh has ever accomplished anything notable in his life.
This is the same person who won world competitions with broken toes and kidney stones, spends her entire life dedicated to an absolutely grueling physical sport, and then deals with the pressures of the media on top of that, and has gracefully handled all of those things for years. So let's set the baseline of her toughness there and assume that it's most likely that she didn't think, "tee hee, I'm distracted by that boy in the audience so I think I'll bow out of one of the biggest competitions of my life." If, in her personal judgement as the absolute top competitor in her sport, she was not going to be able to execute at a high level, then she did the right thing for her team. This wasn't an individual competition, it was a team competition where they could drop exactly one score. And I think it's an absolute farce that literally anyone in the world except maybe her coach feels like they're in a place to second guess that decision. I feel that the comparisons to Tom Brady or Michael Jordan or whatever are ridiculous. This isn't a multi-hour competition with a thousand reps to get back in there and keep trying. There's no chance to get your head right, or settle into a groove. You get one shot - sometimes fractions of a second to execute things that, often times, nobody else in the world is doing. And I don't agree that competitive drive has to be wholly at odds with good decision making, either, which many athletes forget. This is putting aside the consideration that maybe society as a whole is really shitty at considering mental health to be as important as physical health, and that decisions like this should be made more often, but for everyone pointing their fingers and screaming "WEAK! YOU'RE WEAK!"
