  • Honestly I think there is a non-zero chance of this happening as well. We live in an apartment and neither of us have ever been “prepper” types so we don’t have a huge hoard or anything, but I have dedicated a cabinet in our kitchen to this situation.

    I told my husband that I don’t think it’s unlikely that at some point we’re going to have to go without utilities for a couple weeks, so we needed to have stuff on-hand. After a few weeks, I feel like all bets would be off anyway and society would basically become feral so it doesn’t make sense to have a huge hoard that you can’t haul around easily. Unless you live in a house with Purge-Night style defenses, then I guess it makes sense.



  • I think its dependent on their base. I firmly believe Beto O’Rourke would have unseated Fled Cruz if there wasn’t an emotional sound bite of him saying “Hell yeah we’re taking your guns!” After a WalMart in his hometown was shot up.

    Ted Cruz (and Greg Abbott in the ensuing gubnatorial election) both played the FUCK out of that clip, and Beto lost both elections but only by a slim margin.

    I’m not a 2A person, but I personally think if there was someone progressive like AOC or Bernie Sanders AND they touted gun ownership, they would be a winning candidate every single time.





  • Yeah I also love spicy food, from “moderate spicy” to “crazy spicy”. My husband surprised me with the Buldak Ramen that went viral for a second for being banned in Finland or Denmark or whatever. I ate all four of the packs after a time, but never repurchased.

    But I like your comment because you highlight how hot sauces are a mixed bag. My all time favorite hot sauces are usually habanero based, despite that not being the world’s hottest pepper. They’re just like…the perfect general kick of spice.

    I also tend to prefer certain hot sauces for certain things. Nando’s Extra Hot is fucking GOAT for all fried chicken things. Fast food nuggets/tenders, fried chicken breasts/wings, homemade fried chicken, there just isn’t a better sauce. I go through the large bottles easy. It just has that spicy tang that elevates chicken specifically, which makes sense because that’s what Nando’s is known for.

    But then my favorite for topping pizza, or quesadillas, or mac and cheese or anything “cheesy” is Mad Dog 57. I find it hot to the point of discomfort unless the dairy is there to mitigate some of the heat. Its fire with anything cheese though.

    But a good habanero spread on a sandwich, or a habanero based sauce drizzled over fries or breakfast tacos or eggs or like…pretty much anything? Chef’s Kiss Fucking perfection.





  • As someone who lived in Texas for a decade, I was fully prepared for the US to abandon me after we voted in Greg Abbott again. Gubnatorial elections are popular vote elections not affected by Gerrymandering. We didn’t even have THAT excuse.

    That being said, I always said that the rest of the US should cut off everything Oklahome going South and Texas going East as long as they offered a refugee program for those of us not batshit insane.

    The only thing that would suck would be leaving behind the kiddos who dont have a say in where their crazy ass parents choose to live.
