They can’t back up their position, which is why they said they wouldn’t get sucked into a debate.

That’s what I thought libertarianism was until my mid 20s. That’s seriously what I was taught that it was to be a Texan. If you don’t like what your neighbor is up to, don’t fucking look. The issue is that dumb motherfuckers keep expanding on what they think “infringing on the individual freedoms of others” means. Now it just means “anything I don’t like”.

Hell, I’m still anti-authoritarian for individuals (companies should be heavily regulated). If you’re not hurting someone else I don’t really care what you’re doing. Anyone that does has too much time on their hands.

I’ve got a friend that, when cornered by acronym soup, starts discussing very detailed analytics for whatever they’re talking about. He says the acronyms don’t matter as long as the audience is sufficiently bored by whatever your answer is.

It’s probably double secret impeachment.

That was my experience. If I did want to check an executable because I was getting a cracked copy of something I had a piece of shit computer that wasn’t connected to anything where I could move the file and test it.

Most of the malware was hilariously unoptimized and would grind the piece of shit to a halt immediately. I had a stolen copy of Deep Freeze from work so a quick reboot put everything back.

I’ve been making an SPG blend for a while on and off based on proportions my buddy used for his brisket rub. Sometime last year he started keeping a whole jar of it on hand and seasoning everything savory with it rather than just using salt when it’s called for. The biggest difference between his and mine is that he uses sea salt and I use regular table salt. The flavor is slightly different and I don’t get the big crystals, but it’s still pretty great.

He turned me into a believer. I’ve started keeping my own jar and that’s my base spice for everything. Chicken, fish, beef, pork, veggies, whatever. Most things get extra like paprika, chili powder, oregano, parsley, or whatever the meat calls for, but everything gets at least those three. Even my homemade mayo gets it, which means it goes on all my sandwiches as well.
