the good news is, all the worst people on earth doing all the worst shit will be dead within 10 yrs cause they're all old asf. the bad news is them being dead wont mean much for the bad shit they're doing/have done.

Watching through Naruto again at the moment. That's the best I got.

Sounds like some fun escapism, and that's one of those shows with a million episodes right?

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

Maybe it's watch music videos for a few hours time

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

Definitely has a few million episodes. Not as many as one piece, but still a ton.

I glued up my daughter's learning tower. It will be finished tomorrow.

I also cooked an insanely good dinner

cw: meatI made fucking incredible carnitas today. My wife is from the border and said they were the best she's ever had. I followed the serious eats method loosely:

Cut 3ish lb of pork shoulder into 3" chunks then packed tight in a cast iron Dutch oven. Salted heavily then added an onion I cut into eighths, a couple of Bay leaves, Mexican oregano and cumin seeds. I put a couple of pieces of fatty skin on top for good measure. Into the oven at 280 for 3ish hours then finished under the broiler.

Hooooooly shit y'all.

Most authentic recipes call for cooking them in lard but who has lard sitting around? This method lets them render their own fat then cook in that.

The method is here:

I skipped the orange and cinnamon and shit, wypipo energy, but the cooking method was 🔥🔥🔥
