You are directing righteous rage too narrowly. You are willing to try to hurt this person yet showing grace and acceptance to your bf.

This makes you arbitrary and likely just enables you to keep some relationship going that you know should be ended.

Have been really debating this myself. So far I feel too cautious to do it. I am having a hard time trusting people and the thought of engaging with absolute strangers in real life in a date setting just doesn't make me feel comfortable yet. I'd much prefer to meet someone who is vetted by friends and family.

"You humans sure have a strange sense of humor. Sure, your planet totally has huge bodies of water that cover most of the surface. As if something so scarce would just be found falling from the sky. I guess when we reach your home world tomorrow you can show us all these fantasies in person!" One of the first exchange students in the first wave of cultural exchanges said.

I laughed. "We're exiting FTL in a couple minutes, you'll see it then."

There was a pop as the ship broke enough laws of physics for inertia to momentarily stop applying, then the blast shutters on the observation deck raised.

Below was Earth, blue and green with touches of white where mountains pierced the clouds. I watched the mouths of the aliens fall open as North America came into view, with what looked like a Category 3 hurricane over the Atlantic Ocean.

"So... much... water... How did your planet have so much?" One asked.

I smiled, thinking of all of my memories playing in lakes and oceans, riding boats and looking at the rain. "Gravity exoskeletons, people; we're going to dock to the Space Elevator shortly. Then, you'll see."

The thermocouple has failed. Its super common.

Remove it and go to your local hardware store and get a replacement.

Usually under 20 bucks.

Reinstall it and it will now light.

While putting next to nothing in retirement accounts. Seems like priorities might be a bit off

I used frozen peas, I had a couple carrots left from a bunch that weren’t gonna make it much longer so I diced one of those up and used that. Had onions already diced from a day earlier and always have a jar of minced garlic in the fridge 😉.. thank you for the kind words!

Maybe start by reading nonfiction that tells a story, like Educated by Tara Westover.

Becoming Nicole is a great (nonfiction) story about a family with a son that transitions at a young age to a daughter. If it resonates, try This is How it Always Is, a novel by Laurie Frankel on the same subject. Both are engaging reads, but the fiction has more humor. It might be an interesting experiment.

Yes, I have. The food was incredible, and the atmosphere was thrilling!

I forget where I heard it- I don't know if it was a comedian or a random TikTok, but they described east coasters as not always nice, but always kind. Like we'll see someone with a flat tire and pull over to help them change it, but pick on them for not knowing. I thought that was more accurate than it should have been

Everyone has posted most of the big downsides of a long commute. But there are some people dont see or realize right away. Dealing with exceptions to your day. Things like need to meet a plumber, picking up kids, dentist/doctor appt, or even attending after work happy hour or other event. These all become much more complicated when you have a 1+ hour commute.

must be a cult thing

couple of shitbags.

I got downvoted on r/spaceporn because I replied to someone who said “this galaxy is the Fibonacci sequence.” When I asked how, it made the folks there upset lol. They would Just post the sequence of numbers, which is obviously not an explaination.

Left the fuck outta that sub. Pics are cool, but r/astrophotography is waaaaay better, and less filled with morons

accessories! can really elevate an outfit

Mind going into more detail?

What about you?

Bla bla bla life thrives in the valleys.

TV and listening to the rain outside. Threw out my lower back so I'm laying low and smoking weed most of the weekend.

Thank you for that more reasonable answer. This guy was just looking for a simple answer, not just a bunch of elitist snark.

so you’re telling me you psychoanalyzed the profile of someone you thought was a kid to figure out how old they were, is this not weird to you?

I’m at the “old” point in life where it makes sense, it’s quite profound, mortality looms and time is running out

Surfing is one of my favorite things to be not good at.

Gun

I should say :( but it’s ok
