I may regret trying to do two semi social things with people this weekend. I am trying to build community by contributing and connecting folks, but it just generally is me pouring out to others and very little pouring back. I gotta try though.

Seeing that challenge coin, I guarantee that Patel has made some poor bastard drag an M1928 out of the armory, lube it up, and load drums for him… and I didn’t think it was possible to hate his poser ass more.
Have you seen Patel’s “challenge coins“? Absolutely cartoonish tryhard clownshoed bullshit.

Is this how you #gumbo? I would like to make some good gumbo. That is a dish I have never attempted.

Suggestions for vegan friendly charcuterie? I want to provide a snack a vegan guest would enjoy but I am also not able to spend a lot. Would some decent hummus and carrots/pepper slices be appetizing? Vegan chocolate is a thing right?
