God I’m glad I’m not a kid now. I never would have survived.

Art Nouveau. It looks so whimsical. I’d also like a Gothic/Gothic Revival.

I tried with muffins. I have been really into muffins, but it was $7 for a 4 pack. So I bought some mix, eggs, oil, etc., and made my own. I think it came out to a little less than $2 per muffin, which is pretty similar to the original, not to mention I don’t have any dishes.

That’s true very true, but some people don’t like being uncomfortable (I saw as a prior non water drinker lol).

Some people don’t like the taste? It’s like asking why people don’t like to exercise even though it’s good for them, or they complain about stiffness or what have you. I’m not a huge fan of the taste of water myself, but I drink it because it’s good for me and free (once I purchases a filter anyway).

I love this guy! This is amazing! He should be there for when they return, make an entrance.

Just made it cooler. Didn’t even think that was possible

I want him to fall into the pits of hell, but before he does, his scorched, cheeto dust fingers breech the surface one last time to curl around Vance’s pant leg, dragging him down with him.

I don’t think it’s wrong for you to want a relationship with your dad, but it is weird that you kind of brush over the cheating. Your father had an affair, does that not affect you? You don’t even look at him a little different? Do you not understand why your mom is lashing out or why she’s as hurt as she is? Again, I do not think her request is reasonable, but this woman, from what I’m getting from the post, was cheated on, publicly enough that it was a big scandal, lost her husband, her home, and her son. While everyone is having a great time with the mistress, she’s seemingly alone with no one in her corner telling her how what she went through was hurtful and offering her some comfort. You’re like, “he’s my best friend, so I don’t really care, him cheating on my mother didn’t change anything to me, it’s not like he cheated on me.”

Relationships are complicated. I don’t know what your relationship with your mom is, but if she wasn’t abusive and you do have some affection for her (even if she isn’t your best friend), I would talk to her. Both of you should explain how you’re feeling. Maybe she wants you with her because she thinks you like being around her as much as she likes being around you, maybe she thinks you two are closer than you actually are, or maybe she’s nuts and is making one final attempt to control. But your mom as seemingly lost everything important to her by putting her foot down against cheating while everyone is like, “finally, she’s gone. Just swap her out with a younger version.” I don’t know a lot of people who wouldn’t be hurt by that.

I’m just so clumsy, I need the protection. I personally like my phone naked (it’s a pretty green 💚), but clear covers are usually flimsy so it’s covered for safety. I can’t afford a new phone, and cracks irritate me too much. 😔

Wasn’t there also the “lie flat” trend? It’s not just Gen Z who are calling uncle. If I had the means, I’d join them.

“Oh, wow, where did this take place?” “S. Africa.” “Why didn’t they just put that in the title? 😤”

Yes. Even with extra withdraws, I always owe. So it’s more of an annoyance. Not to mention I don’t like how my tax dollars are being used. If the US wasn’t such a dumpster fire, I might feel differently.

Apple products aren’t any better than anything else, it’s just marketing and branding. They’re like the Starbucks of computers.

Of course. We have people in government who don’t believe in germ theory. Education is extremely expensive, and if you don’t pick a “Good” major, not only are you in debt, but shamed and mocked for it, since no one “forced” you to go. Jobs that require these degrees, even doctors, are not paying enough for people to live, study, and afford food. Why would you stay?

I would prefer a new party, but I’m glad that she and Bernie are still out there.

Haven’t had Netflix since the password debacle. Never even missed it. 🏴‍☠️

I think that was amazingly awesome. The people saying there’s a time and place, you’re correct. This was the time and place. Take a stand, make noise, make people uncomfortable. Quiet compliance is what got us here in the first place.

Beautiful.

CATS

Cats is not a complicated musical. All they had to do was animate it and get actual voice actors/singers. I’ve seen sketches for what I think was a Tim Burton sketch, and that would have been a million times better. I don’t know who looked at Cat’s and was like, “Yup, we need CGI.” It looks horrendous and sounds bad more often than not. The musical is already pretty out there, how much more fun would that movie had been if we had animators working on it. The creative visuals, colors, motifs. Not to mention a cat is a wonderfully complex animal to animate just because of how they move. That movie could have been a visual delight in part with the Spiderman movies if they let it, but noooooo. Let’s make a nightmare.
