I mean they were always packed when I went. But one (Sage Bistro in Pasadena, CA) was hard to get into without a reservation. The owner just decided she suddenly believed in “regenerative farming” for whatever fucking reason.

How would animal products be more profitable if they cost more? Veggies are cheap so the potential profit margin is much higher no?

Why don’t they just stop these people from entering in the first place? I keep seeing Greenland cry about the horrible Americans (as they should) but then they just let them in for some reason?

I’ve been vegan since 2019 and it’s hitting me lately that in those days things were looking bright for veganism. Now a lot of vegan restaurants are turning their backs on animals by serving meat then closing up shop a few months later after alienating their customers. It’s getting more difficult to find vegan options and it just breaks my heart.

(There’s also like 10,000 other problems I’m going through too.)

Every website should’ve done this like ~7 years ago. It’s taking far too long for web developers to adopt this. We still got websites adding fucking SMS in 2026.

I generally wear one of many identical black tees during the workweek, I don’t have any cartoon shirts though.

Oh yeah exactly what we need in this world, more meat products. Boooooooo

That’s not how I thought that was going to end

I probably should be using ISO too but I typically just have the BDMV and friends there. It defaults to ISO for (some?) DVDs though which I find interesting; I can’t remember the logic there.

I like renting physical Blu-rays then dumping them to my NAS. I’m a stickler for quality so I don’t re-encode or compress anything.

had to be overweight like it had eaten a bucketful of herring, as the only other kind of happy penguin is one that has ‘just gotten laid,’

Honestly I think Tux still looks more like he’s just gotten laid rather than feeling full from eating but that’s just me.

For me I think growing up constantly told “you’re so smart, you’ll figure it all out” was more detrimental than helpful. It led me to believe I’d cruise through life pretty easily. I’m happy with where life’s taken me and the point I’m at now but I could’ve gotten there a lot faster if I would’ve applied myself more. Just because a kid is into computers doesn’t mean they’ll be some sort of genius.

People will do anything except stop eating animals.

Love that you never hear about any of these protests until the day of.

I feel this way about 90% of smells. I really hate candles (even ones that smell fantastic) because it feels like the air is poisoned.

Having quit smoking/vaping a year ago I’m still shocked by how nasty people smell in public. We all know Los Angeles has some stench (piss and shit everywhere) but in places like theaters, Costco or other packed retail stores, etc. I’m just blown away by how bad it all smells.

It ends in Washington state. The post is referring specifically to US highway 101 so your bitchy ellipses is unnecessary.

The 101 in Seal Beach? It doesn’t lead there (at least today), hmm…

Good point. I definitely need to dig deeper when I have time.

Which part of the 101 was this? Very curious whether this was in Los Angeles.

This feels anything but spontaneous to me unless you happen to live right on the water.
