Love this album. I have it on vinyl and put it on display sometimes.

My first slept like this a lot. Lots of folks like you stopped and commented to tell me that it looked dangerous. Thanks for your concern but it’s just the way the baby cookie crumbles, sometimes.

Sometimes the point of alcohol is just to get a little bit drunk.

Similarly, asking anyone to defend their position on why sobriety is superior will eventually have them sound like they are insecure and judgemental.

I wouldn’t necessarily equate having a good memory or good intuition to intellect / being smart.

For certain subjects, I opted not to study and did well like OP is asking about. Studying would have helped my grades further. I just simply couldn’t be bothered and I have no regrets with how I chose to spend my time.

In university, I had low emotional intelligence, so maybe that was a tradeoff?

OP, read through Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents.

And then GTFO of there the second you can. This man will stunt your life and he’ll blame you for it.

The white thumbs up!

Try this one, has lots of special characters: a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a

It’s up for me

I wear toe socks exclusively for this reason.

It just feels like “invisible” to me. There are pros and cons to being invisible.

One con is if everyone were stealth, transition would seem scarier because all trans people you’d see out and about would not pass.

Stealth is the word used by trans people who transitioned and pass but don’t tell people they’re trans.

Yeah, I remember feeling like it was weird, but both of those sound absolutely fine to me now.

I also would never balk at “female” as an adjective in those cases, nor assume the speaker was being misogynist.

Woman as an adjective is picking up in my circles and podcasts I listen to. Woman scientist, woman entrepreneur. It may have sounded weird initially, but I’ve gotten over it and I suspect it will develop over time to be completely normal.

I wouldn’t really compare it to the male/man counterpart, because men aren’t demeaned by being called “male” regularly.

This is insanity

Heck yeah! Just had a person tell me that they think the climate protests that target museums are heinous and I was just speechless as to how you can be so short sighted.

If the world burns, so will the art.

There are also nasal sprays that are supposed to aid in the blocking of respiratory viruses. Pair that with a mask. Breath as slowly as possible (no gasps, laughs, or yawns) and only through your nose.

Get them a magic painting book.

They are black and white illustrations that have the ink in the black parts. The kid takes a brush with some water and scribbles to create color. It’s just perfect for that age, and it’s not more junk that the parents need to collect.

My wife calls these her “high games”:

• Donut county
• Katamari
• Unpacking
• Luna’s fishing garden

Mine:

• Goat Simulator
• Gorillaz Geep flash game (I could play this for hours and there is no goal, just feels like driving in GTA without consequence)
• Starstruck Vagabond

I actually appreciated the summary! I only heard the broad strokes about Brazil banning Xitter.
