I ate your share and my share of corn on the cob this summer.
― WilliamC, Saturday, 4 November 2017 01:51 (six years ago) link
fresh corn on the cob is just ok, I am fine cutting the kernels offI mean it’s a ridiculous thing to eat a lot of because it’s so sweet, but we have events called “sweet corn feeds” in this part of the country right during that season, where it’s the main thing and you have sides, but just eat as much sweet corn as possible. I still have the baggage of having braces on my teeth for years as a kid, and no corn on the cobit’s wild because people think of that as corn but the corn you eat as “corn” typically is like 1% of corn grown. it’s all field/seed corn

the baffler is not a good magazine
True. In its own way it was as bad as Answer Me!, and the current revival is even worse than the 90s version.

sorry, I get all cranky-ass after working in the main corn business too many years

Grilled corn on the cob really can be the best

280 characters on twitter is actually fine

Book of Mormon is just a toned down South Park riff turned into a musical so yes
― mh, Tuesday, 14 November 2017 21:04 (six years ago) link
280 "doesn't bother" me either, but that's because my eyes/brain just automatically skips tweets longer than 150/160 chars, I've noticed. It's a terrible change, taking the pace and USP out of twitter entirely. If I want long winded updates I'll check FB, which I'd rather avoid tbh.

yea i was indifferent to 280, who gives a shit really. but i do notice that i don't read any tweets longer than ~150 or so

comedians aren't important at all
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 14 November 2017 22:47 (six years ago) link
That's controversial?
― Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Tuesday, 14 November 2017 22:50 (six years ago) link
well i keep reading "comedians are important, especially in this day and age" as if its a truism.
seems like its a popular narrative in the media, they really "tell it like it is" and "push boundaries". is any evidence that any of this has helped anyone ever?
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 14 November 2017 22:53 (six years ago) link
like if anything comedians probably make it easy to laugh about horrible shit and move onto ignoring it

garbage people use the phrase 'garbage person' oh wait
― ur-oik (rip van wanko), Tuesday, 14 November 2017 23:09 (six years ago) link
lol i agree with Adam, Norm MacDonald nailed it re: this new perception of comics: "Now people say comedians are like 'modern day philosophers'.... which I think is pretty insulting to... modern day philosophers."

all casual uses of "garbage person," "trash person," "dumpster fire" etc etc are fucking played-out and annoying
also seem vaguely offensive to waste collectors, who are fine public servants

Your diet has fuck-all to do with how long you'll live, or even how you feel and/or look while you live. I firmly believe this.

it's becoming accepted that genetics has a greater influence on our make-up than we thought, but i believe it's closer to being the absolute, predictive variable

i can tell you the second part is not true. i have had many different diets in my time (while never dieting) and have fluctuated in weight massively, had worse or better acne, been more or less anxious/tired, slept worse or better.
