  • Are you just talking about the cheap green pomento olives in jars suspended in brine?

    Or does your aversion go through all of the greek/italian versions too?

    I slot those green olives in the same “I love!” place as pickles.

    Also, cant beat black olives on a pizza or Italian style (Italian sausage, meatball, cold cut) sub.

    Kalamata have such a hearty umami, when I crave a Greek Salad, 90% of that is craving the Kalamatas. Castelvetrano are so buttery yet refreshing. Picholine (especially with Pomento) are such a satisfying tart salty savory fix.

    I mean, if you don’t like em, you don’t like em and you can have that, but every flavor that I have ever disliked (Bananas, Brussels Sprouts, and Sushi are the big ones I remember for me) was just an invitation to “acquire the taste” and has become a flavor I savor.

    I still struggle with caviar, but even still, every once in a while I just get hit with the craving.

    Only food thing that I can think of that I haven’t tried in ages and I might still hate is black licorice.

    I should get some black licorice and acquire that taste…

    I mean, whenever I hear picky eating, especially pickiness about a savory food, I imagine a person who lives on hostess, mountain dew (any kind), fried foods, and formed meat pastes (Hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken nuggies).

    In general, the food that I was raised on, before I learned how to cook and eat a variety of foods.

    I absolutely die for Kalamata olives lightly dressed in olive oil and Italian spices.









  • Forget the third Zombie brother, the lead singer for The Union Underground, whose only kinda good song is basically about how stupid the audience is and just make him a millionaire already…

    To go into a bit more detail for what my actual knowledge is:

    Tonight the Stars Revolt!: Ever loving masterpiece
    Transform: Little more mindless, still really really good
    Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere: I really like about half the album, most Powerman fans dont
    Copies Clones & Replicants: Uh oh… absolutely trash cover album?..?? Where did that come from?
    Builders of the Future: They’ve lost their identity, they have lost their vibe… still liked 2 of the songs. Overall a let down.
    New Wave: Absolute utter trash. All of it. Never gave any of the songs a second listen. Actually actively avoided them.
    The Noble Rot: One song I REALLY like, a couple I can stand to listen to if Youtube puts it up automatically, the rest just pretty bad.

    Rob is definitely the OG Zombie. He just has more raw visceral roaring power in his energy. Spider One is, well, he is the dude from the video for When Worlds Collide (part of the absolute masterpiece collection that came with Tonight the Stars Revolt).

    I would also say, moderately recently, I saw Allegoria, and I much prefer Spider One’s B horror movie vision over Rob’s “look at my wife” movie style. In fact, I would be pretty confident saying that Spider One’s musical career trajectory and Rob’s horror movie trajectory are VERY similar.




  • The prompt is literally eat the rich.

    Their answer is “I got guns, but I am drinking and bbq-ing, my guns have literally nothing to do with eating the rich, but im flexing my small peen and my automatic weapons!”

    Dude is literally the hungover breeder whose crotchfruit is gonna use his gun to shoot up a school.

    Which defines most gun owners.

    Pussies trying to feel strong while doing absolutely nothing but making guns available to people who shouldn’t have guns.



  • Numbness from putting weight on something usually means you are restricting blood-flow.

    Generally harmless, doing so for 9 hours every night could eventually lead to atrophy of the limb.

    Try to mix up your sleeping arrangement to not sleep with the full weight of your body on your shoulder all night every night.

    We are talking 8 hours a night for years to have any lasting impact, unless you have something like diabetes, where the nerve damage will occur faster.

    Don’t panic, just try to change your sleeping position/sleeping surface.


  • Consult a doctor first if that’s cheaper than buying a whole new mattress.

    I go back to the joke, specifically when House did a similar joke when he was in clinic:

    Patient: Doctor! When I bend over like this bends over, and I move my leg to the right like this twists leg to the right, and I take my palm and do this takes palm and presses it against the side of his thigh, I get excruciating shooting pains that go from my thigh to the tips of my toes!

    Doctor: So you bend over?

    Patent: Yes.

    Doctor: and then you twist your leg?

    Patient: Yes, like this shows how he twists his leg again.

    Doctor: and then you press on your thigh with your palm.

    Patient: Yes.

    Doctor: And that causes intense pain?

    Patient: Yes!

    Doctor: And you direly want that pain to not occur?

    Patient: YES! Doctor, it has taken over my life, I need it to stop!

    Doctor: THEN STOP DOING THAT!

    As an intermittent insomnia sufferer who depends on a very specific sleep ritual to actually get good sleep, I feel the pain, but yes… the answer a doctor is going to give is “stop doing that”.

    The new mattress/fuckload of pillows is some on point advice.
