  • Came here to roast on that, too. 😂 Attempting to make fun of someone who “can’t conversate” is just too rich.

    …and as a former business major…all I have to say is, you’re either going to be a business (of sorts) or work for a business. Hopefully, you will also be dealing with money. Knowing what makes businesses tick, and understanding money, isn’t a bad thing. 🙂

    Looking at present-day society & towards our future, I’d definitely steer more young men away from college & towards trade schools & the like.




  • I have a farmer that raises (mostly!) grass-fed Angus cows; he feeds them out for a little less than a year & sends them to slaughter “when they’re right”. Produces very tender, good beef & I buy 1/4 cow.

    …anyway. This is what he said, he’s seen things where GMO & non-GMO corn are poured into different troughs & the cows clearly want the non-GMO. They figure out they’re not the same & the non-GMO is all they want to eat. Much like a cat with different cat foods, etc.

    It makes a hell of a lot of sense; the GMO corn plant is made to push heavy yield. Be resistant to pests & all kinds of disease. Bigger kernels. Then on top of the GMO qualities, maybe a little of what’s been sprayed onto the plants gets into the kernel. It’s probably not super tasty when compared to just…regular-ass corn with not as potent chemical sprays.



  • Idk about your alfalfa/hay situation, but IIRC for corn it is 7 whole years. This is so virtually all of the inorganic pesticides, insecticides, fertilizers, and all the other “stuff” that isn’t organic works its way out of the soil. We just had a local farmer become organic certified for corn a couple years ago; it was a big deal.

    Personally I think in the interim, a farmer could sell his “not quite organic certified” corn crop to a local cattle producer for feed. 😏 Charge more than GMO corn, but not as much as organic. Everybody wins, everybody’s happy. There is a base practical reason for this: at least cows prefer organic & non-GMO corn. It tastes better to them, hell, it’s probably marginally better for them. They happily eat more, which fattens them up, making for a better end product beef.







  • There’s the classic shower beer, and that’s actually really fun. Like others said, be careful & if you want to be extra cautious, aluminum cans only or poured into a stainless steel vessel.

    When I was a fat little teen, I somehow heard the idea of eating potato chips in the shower. I tried it & it was oddly satisfying. They were Ruffles. I only did it once or twice total, it would be kind of weird to do all the time.

    Shower beers, however…always a good idea.

    If we’re arguing semantics over a group of people, what they stand for & what the definition is, the label coming to represent a group of undesirables that you must now accept whether you like it or not…damn near everyone should be ashamed. ¯\(°_o)/¯



  • I know OP says it’s not serious, it’s silly, but I can’t help but wonder how to do this as strategically as possible…

    As a man. It cannot be a woman or there would be some crazy-ass allegations of assault, non-consensual touching, etc. Which would be true. And easily proven, with live broadcast. And AOC is off-limits, buzzkill!!

    I would throw on all kinds of makeup & a vibrant (but non-threatening) dress, and a crazy color wig but in a tasteful hairstyle, and make myself unrecognizable. Use a fake voice. I’d be just another face in the LGBTQIA+ crowd. I would choose Dr. Rachel Levine.

    It is outrageous behavior, but when everything is outrageous, naturally for Dr. Rachel Levine something of this nature would be a slightly unusual Thursday afternoon occurrence. There would be no outrage, scandal, or backlash. It would probably make Dr. Rachel Levine’s day. It would be a live broadcast, but I don’t think it would be newsworthy. And most importantly, no way in hell anyone would recognize me in full-blown drag. Everybody wins, I get to live.




  • Your thoughts are interesting, but I always presumed it was just a simple tribute of sorts. Like you said, Land-O-Lakes, beautiful, natural scenery of America…accompanied by a beautiful Native American woman.

    Now take the product itself, like you said, make it make sense. Ehh. Maybe you just can’t. They wanted a mascot & instead of a smiling cow or potato, they chose a woman. Sex sells!



  • As others have stated, good sleep hygiene. Are you putting in good hours for sleep, 7-8 hrs? That will help keep you healthy over the years and make it easier to get up.

    When a certain time hits, don’t stare at your phone in bed. I put on a simple podcast before bed with a sleep timer; it’s perfect for me.

    DO NOT consume caffeine for the first 30 mins of wakefulness; this is not helpful & it will train your body to need that caffeine/stimulant in order to wake up. No. Wake up naturally, after some good sleep, throw on some music & start your day…allow your body to “boot up”. As it were. I slam caffeine after being awake for at least 30 mins, if not an hour.
