If I recall, ‘genuine’ leather is a grade of leather that is basically the lowest quality

It’s been almost two and a half years since I’ve had a drink. Still bartending though and feeling very burnt out. I really want to make a career change, but I’m feeling like I don’t have many skills or a degree and honestly I just don’t find any jobs appealing. Depression is hitting kind of hard today. No desire to drink though, so that’s a win I guess.

I still l listen to CDs in the car

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense. David Byrne’s performance is captivating. I’ve probably watched the video a hundred times and listened to the album countless times. Every song is better than the studio version

I appreciate your use of the word ‘goop’ both as a noun and a verb

and then just let the rest of the album play through

I like to add all sorts of veggies to tuna mac - broccoli, onion, bell pepper, spinach, cherry tomatoes, whatever I have on hand really

I’ve saved 100% on every prime day sale by not buying anything.

I love my Whirly Pop

I’m a fan of nutritional yeast and salt

Can you explain what this means?

I watched a YouTube video which discussed a similar issue with a pop song. I want to say it was something by Jennifer Lopez (?) which had a part that matched the resonant frequency of the hard drive in a certain laptop model and would cause the hard drive to crash.

edit: just looked it up, it was Janet Jackson’s ‘Rhythm Nation’

That’s so cool. I have a giant box of embroidery thread that I think I will have to use for this.

There’s one called !sketchbook

edit: nvm that was on Hive

Hmm I do agree with you that language is just a means to an end, and as long as the words you choose effectively communicate what it is you are trying to express, then sure, you used the right words. But I think it’s possible to still be technically incorrect despite everyone knowing what you mean. Like how everyone calls pencil graphite ‘lead’. It’s not lead, and you’re technically wrong for calling it that, but everone knows what you mean.

I think that, especially when it comes to highly processed foods, it is important to have distinctions. The word ‘cheese’ for instance implies a specific process using milk as the primary ingredient. There are products that are not allowed to be called ‘cheese’, but rather ‘cheese flavored product’. ‘Juice’ to me implies that it came from a fruit, and I am surprised the FDA does not have a similar requirement as they do with other products such as cheese.

All that said, yeah I would probably call Hi-C ‘juice’ if I weren’t stopping to think about it.

It’s not very hard to make. I very loosely follow this recipe

I think that begs the question though - how much juice does a beverage need to contain for the beverage to be considered juice? My initial instincts would say >50%. Like how much juice does Capri Sun contain? I haven’t had that in a long time either, but honestly I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that it’s just sugar water and not juice at all. Spindrift has real fruit juice in it, but I wouldn’t call that juice. A margarita has juice in it. I think you have to draw the line somewhere. Do you recall the percentange in Hi-C?

I made a thai vegetable curry the other day with chickpeas that was so good. There’s a thai restaurant in town that does a curry dish that is topped with raw red onion, and I’ve been super into doing that and tons of lime when I make it too

I haven’t had Hi-C in a long time. Does it actually contain any fruit juice?
