Ya know, I wasn’t expecting to see Goetse, that’s a throw back tomiddle school. So thank you for the nostalgia? 😆

Thank you, and to be completely honest I wouldn’t throw away my sobriety on Trump. I am enjoying life sober to much to go back.

I would break my 4 years of sobriety to celebrate that.

Oh I absolutely agree with you about the sequels as well. I tried reading the one that takes place more of like the Victorian era and just could not get into it

I have a moon as a harsh mistress rib tattoo of Simon Jester

I absolutely agree with your recommendation, but man if they’re looking for something short, the mistborn series is the opposite lol

My partner is a teacher and we spend around $200 a month just on snacks for their classroom (snacks have to be individually packaged, and there’s 36 kids per class, so that’s 72 snacks a day, Because the kids have a morning snack and an afternoon snack.) Even with donors, choose PTA and other groups. We just know that there’s a certain amount of our income each month that’s going to go too supporting her classroom. It sucks but we have accepted it, because by us not doing that the kids are just going to suffer.

Alright, hear me out. We go with the 10 months of 35 days and a special month of 15 days, but the 15 days is just one giant celebration. Just 15 days of nothing but arts and crafts and hanging out with friends.

There’s a really cool episode of the podcast Factually touching on what you’re talking about.

(Side note, I’ve never seen this website but I really dig that it has question and answer summaries on the bottom. That was super cool.)

Edit: also, as somebody who is disabled who can’t lean forward without intense pain, these wheelchairs would be hell.

Awesome, thank you for the update.

To add to your metaphor. The grocery store has also collected enough data on you to know exactly how much you’d be willing to pay for eggs versus how much your neighbor would be willing to pay for eggs. So they show you and your neighbor two different egg prices when you get to the cooler.

Yeah I have 12 and a half hours in the game and most of that has been staring at a black screen. Waiting to see if it’ll load

God it was so awkward, it must have been like 2011 because I was freshly 21. And it was at this local bar. And everybody greeted eachother by " the narwhal bacon’s at midnight" and it was just fucking weird. For a while our local subreddit was running a monthly one and then it just kind of stopped.

One time I went to a local Reddit meet up. Yep, it was all that cringy

I’m the same way. You’d be hard pressed to ever get me to watch a sport. But taking my kiddo out to a baseball game is so much fun. Plus I never feel pressured to stay for the whole game, so sometimes we’ll just catch a few innings and then when she gets tired we head out

I 100% agree, but is there any way we could kind of keep working to phase out retarded from common vocabulary. It’s just such a charged and unnecessary word to use as a pejorative.

Do you have any recommendations for a book on this topic? I’m super intrigued.

It’s possible Just wasn’t the flavor I was looking for at the time. I’ll give another go at some point. I hear great things from people so it’s probably just send me a thing
