SPISPOPD stands for ‘Smashing pumpkins into small piles of putrid debris’.

Back in the usenet days I remember someone making a crappy freeware game with that title.

That’s right, a cheat code in a game inspired the creation of another game.

Fucking clickbait nonsense. Tell me what was done, not how I should fucking feel about the thing you didn’t tell me.

They originated the show. You should check it out. Some of the key players in the American version started out there, like Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles, and Greg Proops.

Until you know what was eaten, try to stop beating yourself up.

Dogs eat things. It’s in their nature. If they eat a sock and it blocks them up, that’s bad. But keeping all socks from them is tough. And they like to eat weird things.

Your job is to give them a good life and to try to keep them safe. You can’t demand perfection from yourself, and if your dog could understand, they wouldn’t blame you.

Finally, if you made a mistake, you can use this as a learning experience and do better in the future a bit. The alternative is closing yourself off to love out of fear.

I did this. One of my cats got out on New Years and was hit by a car.

Im the one who lets the dogs out, and he often snuck out when the dogs go out. I didn’t notice.

I will always have to live with that.

But I’m reveling in the love I get from my other pets, not pushing them away.

“You see, it actually said ‘No! Taxation without representation!’”

I thought that might be the case, but clarity wins out with me.

Final season of Lost, viewers dubbed the weird plotline that replaced the flashbacks ‘the purgatory’ they were all in until each had died and they could move on together.

Nah, they’d just assume they’d died a year ago and were in purgatory since then.

I was in a coffee shop a few years ago and a guy in line was wearing an O.G.R.E. shirt, a way old computer game from 1986.

I said “Nice shirt! Never played that game, though.”

Completely delighted, he ranted about his love for the game until my order was ready. And it was a bit hard to get away from him afterward.

This is definitely someone who could’ve fallen into that category.

But I don’t see it that way because I’m also neurodivergent and know people never engage with us like that. Might have made his day.

Just a little story from that borderline in the Venn diagram.

Can’t help you with replacing the texture, but I have gotten shallot infused olive oil for imparting the flavor. They also have garlic oil, of course.

It’s the onion solids that offend most people, and often when thoroughly cooked, the proteins are denatured(?) enough to not cause me issues.

Raw onion and onion powder will mess up my system.

I take my joy in finding good presents for people. Only one or two a year will be the perfect gift for someone.

My wife is ecstatic that she got a lightsaber. She took it to work today to show it off.

She got me a sword, which is really awesome, but I wanted a few other things more.

So I don’t focus on that but on how my efforts were successful and brought joy.

Nah. He’s fine.

His name is Clifford.

Ublock origin, apparently. I had to check.

Its the Associated Press. I saw no ads at all, but then I am using an ad blocker.

The public response makes this news, honestly. And if you aren’t online and seeing it, the anger might surprise you. Murders aren’t usually celebrated.

That’s also why I can say I didn’t care about the show that episode is a part of.

It stands on its own, and it could have been a footnote, or a few lines. A heartfelt scene, some light sorrow.

I’m so glad they chose to give it a full episode.

I don’t care about The Last of Us at all but I’ve watched that episode a few times.

It’s just such a perfect love story. Regardless of your orientation or views, it should hit home.

Community, season 3, Pillows and Blankets.

It’s a campus wide pillow fight between two friends / armies done as a Ken Burns Civil War documentary.

Fairly well-executed plan? Dude was eating in public in the same jacket he wore that day.

Not to mention going without the mask at Starbucks and keeping the manifesto and weapon.

He wasn’t trying to seriously evade capture. But I think he was close to having a chance.
