John figured out if you use the Wolf, Hawk, and Crab omamori together you can have a heavy weapon that lasts forever and lets you block every time.

In 2023 I was shocked at how much I was spending after having children so I polled other parents in my neighborhood, who estimated they spent around $400 a month on groceries. I easily spend $500+ now.

Maybe because I have a family of four, my grocery prices are noticeably through the roof right now. I'm trying to combat them by using less popular proteins in my cooking: sardines, tofu, pancetta, pork belly, ground turkey/pork instead of beef, and buying chicken in bulk from Costco to freeze.

really is starting to seem like crunchyroll fired the people who made the company work, and now everything is breaking down

Today is probably the biggest day for the fall anime season/Preview Guide and things are...not looking great on rollout today for Crunchyroll.

Both MHA Final Season's first episode and the new season premiere for Spy Family are both up on Hulu. CR is 9 hrs late on MHA and it lacks EN subtitles

My dumb family: can you help us solve a puzzle in Donkey Kong Bananza
Me, smart after reading the AI at the top of Google: Donkey Kong Bananza isn't real

AI overview at the top of Google search results that says Donkey Kong Bananza, a real video game, is a hypothetical unreleased game or mod or fan creation. This is incorrect.

I was watching Great British Bake-Off but when I realized what the Brits thought a "flapjack" was, I had to turn it off and take deep breaths to calm down.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.
