We were going to a concert and my partner dressed fancier than I thought made sense. I made an offhand remark about just dress like every day and that made her feel bad. She just liked having an excuse to dress up and I accidentally (because it wasn’t my intent) robbed that from her. I felt super shitty about it. I won’t ever say anything like that again.
Toasted bagel with cream-cheese and a sunny-side-up egg on top. Two eggs for the two halves of the bagel. Eat with hands knowing that some of the yolk will get on your fingers. It’s awesome. I made it for my partner once and she now makes it for herself when she’s eating alone.
I have a good life and don’t wish to encounter physical harm, so thanks for offering to do it for me. Too bad you won’t be there if / when I encounter a nazi. It would have been great to have you fight on my behalf.
I am serious that they should be punched. I am a non-violent person, so I hope that someone better fit for the job does it. If faced with a nazi that I think I can take or one that I think I can sorta take, I might punch them myself.
I didn’t think this way until I read, Culture Warlords: My Journey Into the Dark Web of White Supremacy, by Talia Levin. After, I am firmly in the “punch a nazi” camp.
Not right now, but on the original Baldur’s Gate, it autosaved when I had like 1% health right before a boss. There was no chance of getting around that. Totally screwed me over and I gave up.
“On her website, Pam claims to have her ‘family’s full support,’” Lynda Carter told Mother Jones. “I have known Pam my entire life, which is why I sadly cannot endorse her for this or any public office.”
Her sister will rush to amend the website, I’m sure. /s
thepiratebay.org. I won’t ask a question like this again. Even though well-meaning, everyone has assumed I don’t know what I’m doing.
Funny how many people think I don’t have ad-blockers. I have several.
Yep, and I use multiple. Whatever was going on was super over the top. Someone else suggested the site had been highjacked. That would make sense.

Black Mirror. News tickers and headlines discuss other world-building stories from different episodes.
I would prevent Lewis Powell from authoring the document that outlined how to capture the courts and put us under the control of unelected judges.
In 2020 I got Left-washed by political podcasts and went from a Dem to a Leftist. The awful behavior from those on the Right also pushed me further Left.
Apple Vision Pro. It’s incredible for the first days. Then there’s no reason to keep using it.
Save up an emergency fund.
I’ll second this by repeating something I said yesterday: it costs more money to have to patch things with bandaid solutions rather than quality solutions. The example I gave was someone not able to pay to turn their electricity back on because they had to keep buying candles for light. I couldn’t save to buy dishes because I kept having to buy disposable plates for my meals.
When you’re absolutely strapped, you waste a lot of money on what you can get while prolonging getting a real solution. Having an emergency fund that you can go to when you get sick or your car fails or whatever else is really an investment in your own wellbeing.
I’ve been using it for twenty years and have just the slightest thinning in one small spot. You can’t even tell when my hair dries.
Most practical advice I’ve seen in this thread. For anyone who wants to protect their hearing at a concert without making the music sound muffled, check out these flat frequency ear plugs:

I see a fair number of posts that are diatribes or questions. I upvote all questions to help raise visibility to help get more answers. There are fewer people here, for sure.
