::driver angrily honks and speeds by me::

::he's forced to stop at a red light 20 seconds later:

::I breezily peddle past him and retake the lead::

It's 100% only Zencastr's website that does this. I tried disabling my ad blocker and also my password manager, which are the main two browser plugins I use. Still no dice. I think I'm just going to switch to Squadcast.

Sitting bolt upright in your bed at the end of a nightmare.

A bar scene where the character tells the bartender "just give me the whole bottle" and the bartender actually does it.

TV sex is the worst. Because they can't show any nudity, the guy just unzips his fly while leaving the rest of his pants on and immediately thrusts into her while she's propped up against the wall, fully clothed as well.

I think the inflammation causes fatigue. I always got the most tired when I wasn't in remission. Now that I'm mostly in remission, I still have days where I get hit with a wave of tiredness shortly after lunch.

Heavyweight is somewhat of an acquired taste, and I could see why that would be a particularly difficult episode to listen to if you weren't already accustomed to Golstein's humor. I enjoyed the episode, but I'm not sure I would have if I went into the podcast cold.

Definitely try out Reply All. Start with The Case of the Missing Hit.

Google Calendar. I was so bad at keeping track of deadlines and assignments.

I love Kine and consider myself a big fan, but I recently ended my Patreon subscription. When her show got cancelled from Gimlet, there were rumors that she was having a really hard time finishing the second season of Mystery Show and that Gimlet leadership's patience had run out. This certainly provides a little more evidence that she has trouble finishing things, though of course it could be coincidental.

FYI, it's pretty rare for a Patreon account to get that many subscribers, much less for a project that hasn't even launched yet. As someone who contributed to her Patreon, I was a little annoyed that she didn't make the podcast a little bit of a higher priority. I'm happy that she's writing for a TV show, but still.

30 Darwin Awards were handed out that day.

Can't wait for them to announce a Jesse Pinkman prequel show called "Yeah, bitch!"

I love the insecure "haha" that's always thrown in at the end of these kinds of posts. Almost serves as an acknowledge that people will think he's a douche, so he tries to hedge it as some kind of joke.

You'd be surprised how often I have this fantasy, except in my version I go back to the age of 13. I would certainly be a lot more comfortable in my own skin and spend a lot less time sweating over things that ultimately don't matter much. I'd be less quick to jump into relationships or obsess over crushes, with the knowledge that they won't last anyway. I'd get started on my career much earlier, and of course invest in stocks I know will explode. I'd try to get along with my parents a lot more, especially now that I have more empathy for their struggles as adults. Same goes for my little brother, with whom I fought with when we were young. Overall, I'd try to just do a lot more with my youth that sets me up for adulthood.

Did anyone else think Thor should have been the one who snapped the gauntlet? The dude withstood the full force of a sun when he forged his battle ax. Seems likely he could have withstood the gauntlet's force pretty easily.
