  • Whenever Rogan has a guest on that I think will surely push back on what Rogan is and has been doing in regards to Trump, I watch it just to see if they will say anything. And I’m disappointed every time. I thought for sure, when I saw Bill Murray was on with Joe Rogan, I thought for sure that Bill Murray was gonna push back, and he didn’t at all. I naively thought that someone like Bill Murray might be able to get Rogan to see reason.

    And then recently David Cross was on Rogan’s show, and David Cross is really funny, and I like him. He’s super political and he didn’t push back at all. Not even a little bit, it was like, what’s happening!? I mean, I don’t want to give David Cross a hard time about it, but it’s like, why did you go on his show? And then not even say anything about how Rogan has conducted himself with Trump.






  • This is the way.

    Just a few practical tips for those of you wanting to do this, but feel a bit nervous about dealing with the chicken carcass. Disposable gloves are your friend. Pull off every bit of meat you can possibly pull off. It can be frozen and then used for pretty much anything. You can throw it in tacos. You can put it in ramen soup.You can just eat it. You can share it with your dog or cat, if you can afford one.

    If you have an Instant Pot cooker, I have the small three quart sized one, it makes it really easy and quick to simmer the carcass and get all that delicious bone broth. The bone broth can also be used for anything savory you’re making that requires water like rice, instant stuffing, Ramen, couscous. You get the idea.







  • Me: Is there milk?

    AI: You’re absolutely right to ask if there is milk, you’re not crazy, you’re not paranoid.

    Me: Why did you bring up crazy and paranoid? I’m just asking if there’s milk.

    AI: I’m using a psychological manipulation technique called presupposition.

    Presupposition refers to the underlying assumptions that must be accepted for a statement to make sense. It operates subtly, influencing how people interpret information without their conscious awareness. For example, saying, “I know you’re busy, but can you help me?” presupposes that the listener is indeed busy.

    Presuppositions are powerful tools in persuasive communication. They shape the listener’s thought process, guiding them to conclusions without direct assertions. This technique is often used in advertising and political discourse, where implicit messages can be more effective than explicit statements.


  • Don’t let them bait and switch you with an apartment.They might show you an apartment that’s in really good shape and act like that’s the one you’re gonna get, and then they give you a different one that is not in good shape, so make sure that the apartment you’re looking at is the exact apartment that you’ll be getting.

    Also, don’t skip this one, talk to the neighbors. I know it’s awkward and you’re not going to want to do it, but it’s really the best way to get information. They will tell you how things actually are.


  • Did anybody call the St Paul police? Were the police already there on site? What is happening to residents when they call the emergency number? Are the dispatchers telling them what to do? This is missing from the news story. Why isn’t npr asking these questions? Where are the police?

    Why are the police in Minnesota, in this case St. Paul, why are they not doing anything? Couldn’t they at least require ICE to produce a warrant, and if the police would put themselves in between ice and these innocent people and ice had to arrest or tried to arrest the Minnesota police that would totally change the game, wouldn’t it?

    Could you imagine how insane that story would be? It would make the trump administration look really awful to have to justify police officers being arrested by ICE. There’s never been a better opportunity for the police to rehabilitate their public image.

    At the very least, the police could be there recording what’s going on. In this particular case, they could have documented how ice took this guy out to the middle of nowhere and were taking his photos.

    Ice would be behaving very differently if the police would get involved and be willing to get arrested, that would be the hero cop. The police unions would get involved and it would totally change the game.

    If just one good, hero cop put himself or herself in between ice and an innocent American citizen that police officer would become famous, and they would be known and written about in the history books for bringing America back from the brink of totalitarianism.


  • I really wish trigger discipline was a public service announcement. You know those commercials they used to put on the tv all the time about stop, drop, and roll for fire safety. I wish there was one for trigger discipline.

    If you practice trigger discipline, it takes care of most the other rules. In a high stress or excitable situation, if you go into fight or flight mode, the first thing you do is make a fist without even realizing it. You don’t want your finger to be hovering over the trigger when this happens.

    I wonder how many lives would be saved if this was repeated enough to be made common knowledge.



  • Okay. I’ve never heard of somebody only drinking one caffeine drink a day. I feel like if that’s all you’re drinking it’s such a low amount of caffeine you probably don’t even need to quit.

    Most people drink a lot of caffeine a day, and for some, every single drink they have has some caffeine in it. Those are the people that might need to cut back or quit or cut down to one caffeinated drink per day, which would be a good goal too.


  • I know this is a joke, but just wanted to let people know that you can wean yourself off caffeine slowly and have absolutely no headaches.

    Start by replacing one caffeine drink per day with one decaffeinated drink. Stay with that for a couple of days and then just keep increasing it to 2 then 3. Stay with that for a couple days and then get up to the point where you’ve replaced half of your caffeine with non caffeinated and stay with that for maybe a couple days or a week.

    You have to go really slow and then you just get to the point where you’re only having one caffeine drink a day. And you’ll never get a headache, but it takes like weeks, literally weeks to do it, but it’s worth it to have no headaches and really no lack of energy.
