    When you’re a decent looking guy in New York you get hit on by guys your age. When you’re a decent looking guy in New Orleans you get hit on by middle aged women.

    Still looking for the city you get hit on by women your age.

    Well on a related note.

    I had the experience of this in my 20s. I had lots of older women looking at or talking to me, and as a regular bus commuter I had one particular one always sit with me and say hi and we got to know each other, she was my first short lived love, me at 24 she was 41 and single. That kind of thing stopped happening when I hit my 30s and 40s and now I find the opposite is happening and the younger ones and not the ones my age I would want.

    Also growing up did anyone have a crush on a teacher?

    Are people there driving you nuts?

    I love Jupiter Ascending to hell and back despite not liking the main character all that much who as written squanders any of the things she is given just to go back to life on Earth and shagging her boyfriend.

    Also burn burn burn to all those shows that use the trope of vast, huge supposedly secret organisations that just do things out in the open as if it's a Tuesday yet no one ever seems to notice or care that there are massive gunfights or car chases in the streets yet life carries on like it's any other day of the week ending in Y

    I just watched a YouTube video on the American HIMARS system that has been wreaking havoc in Ukraine.

    However, it's how we use it that made me take notice... typically, when we deploy this system, it has a three-man crew, typically of 18-20 year olds.

    So basically, we're willing to trust 18-20 year olds with a weapon system that could turn a building into a parking lot from 50 miles away, but...
    We won't trust them with a can of Bud Light.

    Am I supposed to think this makes sense?

    I really liked the Burger King Impossible Whopper, but I had to give it up once I went fully vegan, since they use dairy cheese and mayo. There is a place out here that my mom and I have been thinking about checking where their whole menu is 100% vegan.

    The place I went to is called Grill'd and they do a lot of vegan only things and my burger would have been pure vegan had I not asked for cheese

    It nice to so many places are adding vegan options to their menus, the one that really shocked me was Medieval Times. I haven't gone to the one out here, so I don't know what exactly you get, but they actually have both vegetarian and vegan meal options.

    But it's Burger King. Isn't their whole thing about doing it "your way"? Can't you just ask to hold the cheese and mayo?
