AnalogyAddict,

I think many people just realized that much of what we can Christmas Spirit is just not that rewarding.

AnalogyAddict,

I think, therefore I am.

AnalogyAddict,

Religion has more benefits than drawbacks.

AnalogyAddict,

It’s a microgeneration: the Xennials. We had all the analog fun of X and developed all the cynicism of Millenials.

AnalogyAddict,

Napoleon Dynamite is garbage.

AnalogyAddict,

That’s all WiFi on a Mac.

Source: have a Mac.

AnalogyAddict,

Horses. My kids laugh at me.

AnalogyAddict,

Very quickly, to get it over with.

AnalogyAddict,

A rainy mixed forest.

Petrichor mixed with woody decomposition and pine. Perfection. Add a touch of woodsmoke and baking, and there’s nothing that says home more to me.

AnalogyAddict,

If you’re crowdsourcing gift ideas, you’re already losing. Gifts should be personal.

AnalogyAddict,

Almost all of them.

AnalogyAddict, (edited )

Carl’s Jr. because of that awful sexualized man campaign. Awful ad campaigns also for Dove, Axe, Jimmy John’s and Jersey Mike’s. I’m sure there are others I’m not remembering at the moment.

Burger King and Chili’s because of cavalier attitudes towards food poisoning.

McD’s, Twitter, Susan G. Komen, commercialized fundraising of any kind, and Reddit for obvious reasons.

Lots of games I won’t play and apps I won’t download because of their ads.

AnalogyAddict,

It’s not hard to not buy things.

AnalogyAddict,

There were multiple. It went on a couple of years.

AnalogyAddict,

That’s what you got from those graphs?

AnalogyAddict,

When at every visit, I started having to go through my parents’ fridge to replace their expired food.

AnalogyAddict,

This only applies if your morals are based on nothing more than consequences, which I would argue is no moral code at all.

AnalogyAddict,

To be fair, headcheese is exactly as awful as it sounds.

AnalogyAddict,

Nothing. Lockdown was the moment everyone else started living the way I pretty much already did.

AnalogyAddict,

After terrorizing me and abusing my kids for over a year, two days before his wedding to his current wife, my ex asked me if I was sure I didn’t want to get back together.

AnalogyAddict,

I don’t think any of that is “adulting.”

As a parent of a 17yo, adulting is:

  1. Buying and eating your own healthy food
  2. Arranging your own transportation
  3. Working and living within your means, whatever that looks like
  4. Paying your bills on time
  5. Regularly doing something for the community
  6. Making and keeping your own appointments
  7. Managing your own meds
  8. Having someone/ something besides yourself to take care of
  9. Trying to understand people you don’t agree with
  10. Focusing on people instead of problems
AnalogyAddict,

Probably McGonagall.

AnalogyAddict,

Delusion

AnalogyAddict,

For very different reasons:

Edward Jacob

Elon

Donald

Raven

Leonard

Ismael

Vladimir

Christian

Jim Bob

Chad

Kevin

AnalogyAddict,

If your pizza is worth eating, the crust is the best part. Crispy bits of Parmesan, the slight flamed brownness underneath, the warm, soft inside.

AnalogyAddict,

That would be because for the people in power, the parties are just a giant red herring to distract the American people from what is really going on: massive accumulation of wealth.

And at this point, enough wealth is accumulated to make the position of the powerful nearly unassailable. It doesn’t matter who wins politically, the powerful will still make their money.

McDonald's prices are out of control. (cdn.masto.host)

Gee, it’s almost like corporations are gouging consumers so badly that their market advantages are being lost due to greed. Inflation this quickly isnt real. It’s what happens when you come off a global pandemic with millions dead and corporations see they can freely abuse you by exploiting the public zeitgeist that prices...

AnalogyAddict,

As a former employee, there’s a reason for that.

AnalogyAddict,

No. Because of what can sometimes be found in the meat.

AnalogyAddict,

Without prompting, they get me a load of well-rotted manure for Valentine’s Day instead of cut flowers. Even more if they spread it for me without hurting any of my perennials.

AnalogyAddict,

Monk, without a doubt. That show has so many subtleties and humor to boot.

AnalogyAddict,

Other than the man part, this describes part of my life. Just add on being a servant to teenagers, and it’s covered.

And yet, I manage to not demand the solution from other people.

AnalogyAddict,

Well, today my diet was mostly Halloween candy, but I like to think that doesn’t represent me as a person.

AnalogyAddict,

Before clicking, I thought you were quoting from “Sin Wagon,” and I thought you really missed the point of the song.

AnalogyAddict,

“Severally” connotes separated by intent. Separate and independent.

Which YouTuber's voice can lull you to sleep?

I’ve exhausted things I can sleep to on Netflix, and it’s literally impossible to sleep to things on Prime (so I barely watch anything there; it’s not worth falling asleep to something I like, since I might be punished for it), so I’ve started putting on YouTube in the evenings since it won’t wake me with silence at...

AnalogyAddict,

You should try classical music.

AnalogyAddict,

Depressed? Antisocial? Grumpy?

AnalogyAddict,

How do people not know this?

AnalogyAddict,

1823: we should let the Indians have their land

1923: we really need to go over to Europe and stop that Hitler guy

AnalogyAddict,

It wouldn’t have been Hitler that would have gotten you canceled. It would have been suggesting we go get involved in another war so soon after WWI with no real evidence that it would be important.

At what age and how do you tell children about the truth of Christmas?

I’m writing this as someone who has mostly lived in the US and Canada. Personally, I find the whole “lying to children about Christmas” thing just a bit weird (no judgment on those who enjoy this aspect of the holiday). But because it’s completely normalized in our culture, this is something many people have to deal...

AnalogyAddict,

From the very beginning. It’s much more magical and less creepy.

AnalogyAddict,

Curse you! This is addictive. I stumped it three times:

Fin Raziel.
Paula Anton.
Alice Three Times.

I got it past 20 all but twice. It got Kathleen Kelly and D.C. at 20 and 19, respectively.

House Speaker Mike Johnson Responds to New Round of Scrutiny About Black Son (www.vanityfair.com)

Mike Johnson’s meteoric elevation from an under-the-radar congressman from Louisiana to second-in-line to the U.S. presidency sent journalists, Democrats and Republicans alike to uncover information about the personal and professional history of the most right-wing and least experienced House Speaker in history, who took the...

AnalogyAddict,

Are they trying to adopt a teenager?

AnalogyAddict,

You should apply that practice to all politicians. They never tell the truth if a lie will serve.

AnalogyAddict,

Everyone is telling you too much butter, but if this only happened to part of your batch, it’s more likely you didn’t scrape the sides of your bowl while mixing.

When mixing anything with creamed butter, especially, you need to mix about a third of the time, scrape all the sides and fold the dough, mix, scrape, mix, and do a final scrape/ mix/ fold by hand to make sure all the butter is incorporated.

Stand mixers have this problem more than hand mixers.

AnalogyAddict,

I’m probably the only one who thinks they have an unpleasant undertaste.

AnalogyAddict,

I collect paintings and other things from estate sales.

Also macrame hangings.

AnalogyAddict,

“So long, and thanks for all the fish.”

“I’m not usually this easy.”

“I’m ready for my close up.”

“Not this again.”

AnalogyAddict,

Multiple times. They usually end up being sexual creeps, narcissists, or both.
