No way bro…nonfat Greek yogurt has thin privilege.

Ticket scalpers. And Ticketmaster. But especially ticket scalpers. Now more than ever because I think they know people, including me, are more likely than usual to give in.

Twenty-One Pilots did a verified fan ticket sale to prevent huge ticket purchasers from jacking the price through the roof.
Wasn’t awesome, like seeing Pink Floyd for like $35.00 in 1988, but actually not far off adjusted for inflation.

Unfortunately, most of the “verified fan” sales still result in most of the tickets not going to fans. Then people can’t even buy the scalped tickets from Ticketmaster, and Ticketmaster couldn’t care less because they’re getting all their $$$.
Yeah. My wife got a non transferable QC code.
I don’t quite understand the what’s and how’s of how that has changed. I get that they’re trying to prevent counterfeiting and loss, but I don’t see how having 3rd party ticket agents benefits anybody but the agents.
I guess it’s OK for the musicians because it guarantees a minimum of sold tickets, but it kinda fucks the fans.
I had an off-the-books job in HS for our baseball coach waiting in line to buy concert and sports tickets. He was a reseller. Paid him well.
I was walking to the apartment today and there was a teenager parked out on the street. When ever someone passed (including me), that idiot would say “Boo!”, then let out the most obnoxious laugh.
Seriously tempted to pepperspray him
Tailgating.
Like fuck off. Go to the speed lane or something.
The top 5 in this list:
The food industry and major agriculture. I didn’t realize how much of an influence they have had on our food until I started reading “In Defense of Food” (which is slightly dated - 2008, but goes into a lot of food industry history in the US).
Can we get back to real, raw foods please?
I have been trying to break away from addicting processed foods for awhile now and only succeed maybe 75% of the time.

It’s on my Kindle wish list.
Had shit wash up into my basement through my floor drain for the THIRD time since we built our house in 2017. Come to find out the pipes have construction debris in them that was never cleaned. Builder put a backflow preventer valve in the floor drain after the 2nd occurrence, which probably would have worked…had the project manager (read: fuckstick in charge) not installed it upside down. Project manager (fuckstick) has since been demoted to assistant salesman. I love stupid people.
This is the single worst substance on Earth for my IBS. One mini-cup of it creates enough gas in my system I probably create my own personal hole in the Ozone layer…explains the constant sunburn I guess.

I can’t imagine the compounding effect it must have as it passes through every stage of digestion.
Start to finish that stuff is miserable!
My condolences to you for the loss of all of your friends and neighbors. 
I ran into some equally sucky coffee creamer substitute, “enhanced” mumbo jumbo, but can’t recall it’s name.
I’m big on personal repertoire. Like everybody has their things that they do. Routines and rituals type stuff.
If you mess with their thing, what ever that may be- they’re going to be mad. Might even eliminate you in a work environment or social setting.
The aforementioned coffee ruining amalgamation of trendy garbage did just that.
I’m going to take a picture of it next time I go shopping to give a visual.

University package pickup
It’s freaking move in week and they refuse to extend hours. The lines are literally 50-60 ppl long and take 60-90 min.
Had to give up a lunch break yesterday and STILL wasn’t able to get my package 
Now I’ll have to wait until until Monday and some of the stuff I ordered need to be refrigerated

Having my first kid any day now, and that combined with some stuff at work that has given me tremendous opportunity recently, means that my time is at an all time premium. So, i dropped about $1k on a home gym setup that should be arriving tomorrow. Plan is to basically lift 7 days a week but only 30 minutes at a time on a general push/pull/leg split.
Im a cheapass. Financially, we are more than comfortable with a massive safety net, but im still a cheap ass out of principle… and FUCK ME the prices and scarcity of weight plates is some BS!!! I cant find anything under $1.75lb anywhere. Most CG or FB sales are $2/lb+ and an hour or more away from me. I thought shit would have started coming on teh second hand market with reduced prices, but noooooo. the barbell i bought new online, i saw on FB for more than i just paid!!! wtf? Its insane. I bought a single 25plate off CG last night because some only lady was selling it for $25 and I figured i could find another single plate for cheap somewhere else. Its such bullshit.
Though, im realizing i really only need a set of 45s, and 25s and i can pretty much do everything needed, just adjusting rep ranges a little higher, and doing single leg work. My joints will probably end up feeling better too. Maybe its good i was “forced” to lighten the weights and adjust rep ranges… i am hitting that age where i need to start focusing more on longevity and quality of movement moving forward.

Sucks about the weights but congrats on the kid, man. Hope all goes well for you and your lady. My son is 9 months old today and it feels like it’s been 1 month.

Why do they make wafer thin wine glasses? We bought some of these fancy ones but I am more fearful holding these than my first new born. Plus it ruins the experience of chugging down awful wine lol
