If you like absurdist comedy do yourself a favor and track down Wonder Showzen. It's streaming on Paramount+.

Co-sign. Although ... remember that the comedy is edgy. So if that's not your thing ....

Observed dynamic-

Some people just wanna vent. And that's cool!

But others see the venting, and they think that the venters are actually looking for solutions. So they offer them.

But that just angers the venters. Because THEY DON'T WANT SOLUTIONS!

So the solution givers are frustrated, because ... what, you just wanna complain?


I feel like I see this dynamic a lot. And I can understand why venters need to vent sometimes. But I can also understand why solution givers get frustrated.

I guess what I fail to understand is when people just keep venting about the same thing, for months ... or years. After a while, it's not really venting.

But what do I know? I'm not your go-to guy when it comes to delicate emotional issues.

I barely eat pizza anymore because im snobby about it. The only places I really like are on the opposite side of the metro so I am not getting any delivery. At least not at a price im paying!

I keep wanting crispy, minimal flop, NY or New Haven style, recently. I think in large part because YouTube started offering me Dave Portnoy pizza reviews and I accidentally clicked on them several dozen times.

There's a really good NY style place in Manchester- Vintage Pizza, but even ordered well done it's still not crispy enough for me and has too much flop. Re-heated in a pan on the stovetop until the bottom starts to smoke, though? Outstanding. Got their classic margherita last week and it was magnificent.

Oh! Do I have to declare my pizza preference to post here?

Chicago deep dish is good. Chicago tavern style is good. New York thin crust is good. Detroit deep dish is good. Stromboli’s good. Calzone’s good. Totino’s pizza rolls? Good.

Pineapple on pizza…

Yes! Pizza rolls and hot pockets tend to tease then disappoint me though, as it seems like there is no or a very brief happy medium inside them between ice cold and peel-off-the-entire-roof-of-your-mouth scorching.

But NY style? Yes. New Haven? Heck yes. Chicago stuffed? Oh baby yes, though only one or two slices. Tavern Style? Definitely. Stromboli? Yes, wholly! Calzone? Mony mony!

Happy return to hogwarts day to those who still consider themselves part of the fandom.

I learned yesterday (so not suitable for the other thread) that there is a Zoomer tiktok movement called Shifting or Shifters, of kids/young adults who believe that they are able to visit/exchange consciousness with their alternate reality selves a la multiverse theory*. That there are an infinite number of alternate selves, and that through certain techniques they can shift their consciousness from DR (Default Reality) to their PR (Preferred Reality). And that a surprising/depressing/unsurprising number of them Shift into their self who is a student at Hogwarts so they can do magic and date Draco Malfoy.

(Reminding me of the Snapewife thing among Millennial HP fans, come to think of it).

Apparently if you listen to them and the techniques they're using it seems clear that they've discovered self-hypnosis and lucid dreaming but don't realize that's what they're doing.

*(Someone should introduce them to Quantum Leap)

Have you seen the prices on therapy? Until Morrus starts charging by the hour for people using his forum to vent about the same topic forever, it will always be the cheaper option.

An analyst and a therapist?

You could get arrested for those business cards!

The internet is a naughty word mistake.

(Insert proctologist joke here)

If the first two words are "Insert proctologist"

and the next word is a noun modified by proctologist ...

"Joke" is the best possible outcome for that sentence!

Sometimes the jokes write themselves (but enough about NuTSR.)
