@Pensblog It was a different time, when I still felt alive. Take me back.

@SandyofCthulhu The revenant has always existed contrary to this trope. They’re “usually” true neutral and only exist to destroy their killer. But revenant clerics and paladins still even had the ability to pray to their deity for assistance and kept most of their spells.

@VGV1567798 What’re you doing now that you’re settled?

[Tim @Doorstop_Idol]

@Nobbie_OCs Of those four? Normandy for sure. But overall I always go with this.

[Tim @Doorstop_Idol]

@Kornstalx @KevinLamb74 Finally, a legitimate criticism. “The X card” is the most infantilizing invention that has ever been introduced to the hobby.

@mask_bastard Bastion. Period.

I’m not and never have been a fan of the culture war. The culture war is a distraction from the core Libertarian values of personal freedom and minimal government interference. It fuels division, not liberty. We should be more worried about government overreach and keeping our rights!

My name is Spike Cohen, and I ate 10 pounds of food.

Last Sunday, I went to a hibachi restaurant with my wife, my mother and my cousins to celebrate Mom's birthday.

If you've ever been to a hibachi restaurant, you know that they give you an insane amount of rice.

I usually eat a keto diet. This day would be an obvious exception.

I hadn't eaten all day, so I decided to order extra scallops, in case the laughably large amount of food they give wasn't enough.

My wife doesn't eat rice, so I got her portion too. I knew that going into this struggle.

She also had them give me her shrimp. That, I hadn't anticipated.

But I'm a man, and that really doesn't excuse any of this but I'm going to say it anyway.

When my cousin Sherri asked the chef to give me her rice portion as well, I knew that I was in danger.

As the food continued to pile onto my plate, I had to form a mesa of sorts with the rice, so that the shrimp, scallops, and vegetables wouldn't fall off.

Because God forbid I neglect to eat any of it.

A pile of food would come. I'd eat it, and then get back to chipping away at my Rice Mesa.

And then another pile of food would come.

And then another.

I felt like Sisyphus, except his task at least made him more fit.

Mine put me at serious risk of hospitalization.

Nevertheless, I persisted.

My cousins said that I could take the rest to go and eat it later.

My wife informed them that I would be eating all of this food tonight, because I have a problem.

Minutes turned into hours. Not that I could keep track of time.

Nothing felt real anymore.

What we call "reality" stripped away from what was left of my consciousness.

Nothing existed but me and the endless pile of food.

At some point, the rest of the family was getting bored and wanted to leave, so I had to pack my leftovers into a to-go container.

To put it in perspective, less than half the food was left, and it barely fit into a full size styrofoam clamshell container.

As I packed the food in, my wife and mother insisted that it wouldn't fit.

My own wife and mother.

It hurt me to know that they didn't believe in me. In retrospect, I was probably a little overly emotional because my blood sugar was somewhere north of 800.

But my cousin Mark believed.

"It's rice", we both said, almost in unison. "You can really pack it in there."

And we were right.

You can really pack rice in there.

My family pleaded with me, "please Spike, please don't eat the rest of that food tonight. We are worried that you will die."

I said "of course I won't eat the rest of it tonight. I've had more than enough."

But my wife said "he's going to eat this before it gets cold."

"No no" I insisted. "This will make a great lunch for tomorrow."

She continued looking at my family.

"He has a problem."

My own wife.

First she didn't think I could pack that rice into the container. Now she thinks I'll eat the leftovers, when I insisted that I wouldn't.

I was heartbroken.

How could the woman I had pledged my life to, my Queen, my very rib, plucked from me and formed as I doth sleep, have so little faith in me?

It was a long and quiet ride home.

I felt alone, betrayed even.

At this point my blood sugar was hovering somewhere around 1200.

I'd estimate that I consumed roughly 600 grams of carbs, and 43,000 mg of sodium.

(I didn't bother calculating the protein and fat, because counting the macros of this meal seemed like a mockery of God and His creation)

All of this would have broken a weaker man.

But not me.

Unlike many lesser Jews, I am stronger than my addiction to Asian food.

My name is Spike Cohen, and I ate the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's recommend weekly allowance of calories in one sitting.

This is my story.

@jeffcharlesjr Simply discovering it while in my freshman year of college. I never felt like I belonged in either party as I had just as many disagreements with both. Then I discovered the libertarian ideology and it was my lightbulb moment. I could finally give a name to my stance.

[Tim @Doorstop_Idol]

@Die_Hard300 @TheOldeWyrm @Nerdcognito @elonmusk Honestly, because AI could make it so much worse. That’s already the direction it’s going, and Elon would assuredly double down on it.
The stuff that we don’t like now is all lore. As long as the mechanics are good it’s easy to ignore. But letting AI shape the system is no good.

[Tim @Doorstop_Idol]

@SGValleyDude @Nerdcognito @elonmusk AI. We know Hasbro and WOTC are already obsessed with generative AI and Elon would be absolutely the same but with more money than God to back it up.

And that’s not a good looking future for gamers.

[Tim @Doorstop_Idol]

@Rjharris72 @LibertySentries @angela4LNCChair This is such a stunningly bad take.

[Libertarian Party of Louisiana @LouisianaLp]

The #TransDayOfRemembrance isn't about celebrating a lifestyle. It isn't calling you to be trans. It isn't saying that anyone is better than anyone else. It isn't calling for tax funding or government programs.

It is a time to consider violence against trans people.
It is a time to consider the consequences of hate.
It is a time to consider the real-world harm caused by shaming and demeaning others.

Trans people are more likely to be the victims of assault.
Trans people are more likely to be targeted by police.
Trans people are more likely to be murdered for who they are.

The Trans Day of Remembrance isn't saying you should be trans. It isn't an attack on Christianity or people who identify as their gender assigned at birth.

It is a time to reflect and a time to be better, to make the world kinder, to make a world where all people are safe to express themselves, so long as they're not harming anyone else.

This is a time to stand against targeted murder and incitement to suicide.

It is a time to spread compassion and kindness so such a day is one day no longer needed.

Remember, even if Trump frees Ross

Tariffs are bad. They are a tax on consumers.

Mass deportation would be a huge violation of liberty and add trillions to the debt and cause a major shortage in labor.

Cutting taxes without also cutting spending creates the backdoor tax of inflation.

Any member of Trump's cabinet has to pass Senate confirmation, so tamper your expectations. The "libertarian" in his cabinet is likely just a "liberty Republican".

So ridiculously excited to announce the next project, coming Summer 2024!
