I've thought about it, and I'm fairly certain that time travelers had to call it quits and agree worldwide to stop it. Like, every outcome was worse than the last. . And, that means that our current trajectory is somehow the least destructive.

It's Just money, though!

I just bought a ticket on Delta 30 mins ago

You have to pay about $70 more to pick your seat (and that wouldn't guarantee a window available in the first place).

Burn on that old crew. The only things they did better than us were suck and die.

I don't have this relationship with porn but have been addicted to other things. I have found some success in this method:

I tell myself "ok, I can do bad habit in three hours, and I promise myself I won't feel bad if I do." and then in three hours, if I can, I just tell myself the same thing over again, and put it off for three more hours. If I buckle, I don't kick the shit out of myself, and I've found that I can make it a whole day if I bargain with myself based on time. If I'm going to do bad habit in three hours, I can think about other things until the three hours is up. And no matter what, setting a small goal (just three measly hours, what's that to me if I can do bad habit as much as I want when it's done?) and accomplishing it gives me a different form of reward.

Idk, it doesn't always work, but when I was trying to fast for health/personal care it really helped me not eat until my "shift" was up.

It doesn't have to be three hours, it could be 30 minutes, or "when I'm done doing other activity" or something similar. Small goals that are possible to attain.

As a 38yr old artist person, I would like to thank you for reminding me of my own father letting me draw all over his arms when I was much younger. I can't speak for your kids, but I remember my gratitude at the time (which I would recognize later) that my dad was letting me do something otherwise not ok for the sake of silliness and love.

Not to get all serious about it. But I hope you do cherish this, in the off chance your kids remember the love!

Edit: "in the off chance" I meant as "I don't know what kids are into these days I feel old!!"

The language in this is almost hilarious in just how hard they're trying to throw someone under the bus. This was something they thought of, and pre-planned what, before the genocide? And then they have taken actions internally and fired so-and-so for it because it was all their fault!? Gosh, what a pickle!

Do not accept perfection as an enemy of progress!

I took that to be an actual cup of coffee, in addition to the wine. So you don't pass out before you can really speak your mind.

My ex asked someone in Mass one time where she thought a good place to go for a drink was, and she said "Bar Noir", but pronounced it "bah no ah". He thought she said "Bar; 'No R' " and took it to be a play on the local accent and told her how clever it was. She just replied, angrily, "YOU'RE BEING AN ASSHOLE."

"Bah, no AH!" or "you're being an asshole " is still a common response when someone asks where to go and nobody has anywhere in mind.

 

Hello! I really, really love bok choy, but every time I prepare it it turns a little sour. My intent is to eat it as part of a simple vegetable stir fry.

I love blanching when it comes to green beans/peas, steaming when it comes to Broc/cauli, and stir fried for all else..

What is your favorite way to prepare bok choy to achieve the best crunchy-and-tender texture?

 

I swear, ~~every time~~ most of the time I see someone being particularly rude, ignorant, and inappropriate on a post (usually political in origin, or they swing it to being political) I click on their profile and see it has been created that same day.

They are only there to sow discord. Only to piss people off. Idk if we can just report them (for what?) but I'd like to try exposing them before responding and interacting..

I am guilty of gobbling up the bait. I've started looking at profiles of people that piss me off exceptionally and noticed they're burner bot loser accounts.

I guess i just want to say I've noticed it!

 

When I used rif, you could swipe a post and delete it from your screen. Sometimes I want to hide a post so I don't get triggered or pissed off each time I refresh my screen and see it there, mocking me ... I only see options to block user, community, instance. Y no block post?

Sometimes, I open the fridge (or a cabinet) and just see some condiment (mostly hot sauce) and realize it will dictate my diet for the next month.

Like today. I opened my bachelor/nihilist fridge and saw a bottle of Walmart steak sauce. Now, I know, I guess I must eat steak inspired meals, or ground beef inspired meals, or whatever but my favorite is over easy eggs with steak sauce. Or, any sandwich. Also, boiled potatoes, because I am a genius that hates themself. Also green vegetables.

Sriracha is similar. I see it and think, "oh, you TEASE!" and then put on a pot of rice and start blanching all my veggies.

I see some local "Louisiana Hot Sauce" in my hot sauce cabinet? Looks like I'm eating pizza for a few weeks because I love the dipping options.

I'm sure this has been a big, annoying, reddit/Lemmy monstrosity of a conversation already; I just wanted to ask what anyone else was assigned to eat by the Condiment Royal Family/Lineage/deity to obey this morning.

 

Hello! So, I have always joked around with my friends about how when you say a particular word a few times, you start to question if it even is a word, or if it is spelled that way, etc.(think of tubing, or smock as examples) I have noticed in the past few weeks that I (37yr) am having that problem with almost any word that I try to write. We are talking about "and/it/the/Patrick" and whatnot, and it is really making problems for me at work.

Does anyone else have this problem! Does your brain automatically make all words sound fake?

And, yes, all words are made up.. I am talking about the ones that currently reside in common speech.
