I have become an Outer Wilds evangelist. One of my favorite games hands down.

We have flying cars. They’re called planes, you can get a license for them and everything.

I’ve found the loaf pan to be a more optimal shape. Personal preference I suppose.

I’ve been able to take plenty of notes by hand without cursive. It’s a preference, not a prerequisite.

Not entirely, my son still had to have lessons on it in elementary school for some reason.

The real move is to use the bread maker on the dough setting and then bake in a loaf pan to avoid the carb cube shaped loaf.

I got a Bosch a few years ago that has no app connectivity. Probably 4 or 5 years old at this point.

My ex used to pull this kind of stupid shit. Staying up late in some kind of masochistic urge to “improve her skills” which was really about feeding her massive fucking ego. It resulted in some serious mental health spirals and poor decisions on her part (hence the “ex”). Getting enough quality sleep will not only improve your mental and emotional resilience, it will help you be more prepared to achieve whatever kind of live goals you have in mind. If you really feel like you have to sacrifice your need for sleep to make time for whatever it is you’re trying to do, then I have to think this is a time management problem. on your part. Getting enough good sleep is non-negotiable.

Principal threatened to expel me senior year because I was fidgeting with one of those switchblade-combs because it was a facsimile of a weapon. The only reason I had it was because we used it as a prop in the school play the week before.

She would need to make a genuine apology to my brother and his wife. I gave her the easy apology with myself six years ago under the assumption that she would make an actual effort with everyone else involved. She did not, and instead chose the route of the coward pretending to be victimized and wronged. Until she chooses the path of accountability, I don’t have any intention of speaking with her.

Almost always it’s unpaid. Any paid leave you have is accrued separate from FMLA leave. The only thing it guarantees is you’ll have a job when you get back from any number of protected leave reasons.

Nobody hates me quite like I do

He has to placate dear leader so his country can continue receiving arms to defend itself.

Friends and family will either listen to a point before saying they can’t handle it, or some of them I wouldn’t bring these problems to in the first place. When I do talk, I get tired of my response being the thing they focus on instead of the source causing my frustration. I’ve attempted therapy for years with varying success; after some bad experiences I can’t trust therapists anymore. All anyone cares about is if my emotions are impacting them in a negative way, nobody actually gives a shit about how I am doing as long as they aren’t directly inconvenienced.

You’re missing the point, and I can’t tell if it’s willfull or incidental, but everyone is saying it has become something we only do a few times a year, as opposed to regularly, because of the expense.

I get you’re being over the top to make a point, but it seems a bit ridiculous to compare overpriced popcorn to a first class plane ticket and staying at an expensive hotel. We’re talking about experiences that people used to indulge in on a whim, or which were reasonably affordable for average folks. That is not the case with the examples you provided, and those kind of purchases are large even for some people of means.

You’re not wrong, but you’re also ignoring the fact that the whole point of a movie theater is to have an “experience” and the snacks are part of it. Sure, you don’t have to get it, yes your strategy can be done and will work, and I have a long and storied history of stopping by the candy aisle in the grocery store before noisily making my way to my seat and enjoying my discount goodies. But buying a ticket to a theater is a matter of spectacle and experience, and that exact experience is becoming rapidly unaffordable even when you just buy the tickets alone anymore.

The shape of the magazine makes the bullets go further because they’re already aligned with the Earth’s curvature.

Switched to these after years of boxers and a stint with regular briefs. Duluth is my brand of choice but regardless the separation/support is a complete game changer.
