Don't regret too much. I wouldn't be surprised if reddit's "delete" function was really just "move to the "suckers-wanted-to-delete-this" file.
Ah, canon, or the word we use to describe which made-up story is more real than the other made-up stories!
I feel some guilt for using content blockers
Please don't. The advertisers "defected" decades ago with popup windows (and probably before that, but popups in the late 90s/early 2000s stand out in my mind). It's only gotten worse since then.
That chart is evil. First two ticks represent 5 years. Ticks 2-3 represent 2 years. The last two ticks represent 2 1/2-3 years!
Also, what's so magical about 2014 that it deserves to be the baseline? I'd love to see this extended back to, oh, 2006 or so. Sometime before the Great Recession.
Finally, what about shrinkflation? I used to order from Panera on a regular basis, but during the pandemic, it seemed like their sandwiches shrank a little bit more between every order. At this point, I don't think it's even worth ordering from them.
Primitive Technology
Low volume (not even 1 video a month), high quality, highly entertaining.
Beware of the copycats, though.
I enjoyed the story arc leading up to Endgame, but since then, they've filmed so much that I just feel like I can't keep up. The last movie I watched was Multiverse of Madness where I spent about half the movie going "Huh, I feel like I'm missing stuff from the Wanda TV show". I had never seen Spider-Man: No Way Home, either. And I guess there was a Loki show and a Marvel "What If" series, too?
Being a Marvel fan shouldn't have to be a job!
The headline is really misleading. She now works for Costco corporate doing marketing training. The typical store employee is still around $18/hour.
This just in: Corporate jobs pay more than public school teaching jobs. Film at eleven!
Why not? Probably because:
Bike pollution: .
Car pollution: oooooooooo
Plane pollution: OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO
(bike pollution is slightly more than nil just because of the CO2 we breathe out while riding)
Honestly, you both sound like you have some maturing to do. She's got insecurity/jealousy/stalkerish problems, and you're acting like you have something to hide (dodging her questions was your first mistake).
Based on your description, you didn't do anything wrong in your previous relationship. You don't need to hide or act like it's retroactive cheating.
By the same token, your girlfriend needs to learn to not ask questions when she doesn't actually want to hear the answers.
I'd suggest that you give her a bit more space. Give her time to miss you and to get over herself.
FFS means "Facial feminization surgery" in this context, correct? I automatically read it as "For f#$%'s sake" and paused, thinking "No, that can't be right."
pointless virtue signaling
What do we want? An end to blatant racist murders by police!
What do we get? Rename our git branches!
Ha, I was tempted to make basically the same comment. I'm super weary of people mixing the two up!
