How does he not have a makeup artist on staff to make him look at least slightly less fucked up? It's weird that they've actually normalized his hair lately but can't seem to get the weird bronzer over all of his face.

If it were revealed that he's actually an AI-driven hologram at this point, I wouldn't be even slightly surprised.

Ha ha, I sometimes threaten to make my kids ride on the roof, but of course they'd be into that. They know I'm mostly full of shit by this point anyway.

I'd like to try the paper ball fight thing, but with my luck some kid would lose an eye. Being a bus driver was probably a lot more fun before they all got video cameras.

I tried "velveting" some beef the other day (basically marinating the meat in baking soda) and the result was absolutely disgusting, both in terms of texture and flavor. I wonder if maybe I didn't wash off the baking soda sufficiently and got soap, although that wouldn't explain the texture issue. The texture was similar to Chinese takeout beef but somehow not as palatable.

It's weird, I watch a lot of Youtube videos about street food vendors in India and sometimes they brag about not using garlic or onions in their offerings. I don't get how that could possibly be a selling point.

Also high-sugar varieties like Vidalia and Candy onions. Don't knock us for our onions - at least our onion farmers aren't dropping bombs on brown people.

I wish I could remember what product this was, but many years ago there was some bullshit new age supplement that had "Guaranteed Placebo Effect" on the packaging.

Higher education has been like this for many decades, really the result of the great expansion of colleges and universities beyond the education of a tiny elite, that happened after WWII (at least partially a result of the GI Bill).

that “get a degree so you can get a job” mentality that our parents and parents parents touted is advice from an era gone by

My parents actually stressed the liberal arts idea that you go to college to learn how to learn and that it doesn't really matter what you major in. I respect their viewpoint even more now because they paid the absurd tuition at my liberal arts college. In my case, however, it really did cost me professionally. I ended up becoming a computer programmer, and while I was indeed quite capable of learning whatever I needed to learn to do any particular task, I was hamstrung by my lack of a degree in Computer Science proper.
