I’d give up my just cousin for free if he’d gone on Jan 6.

That’s nuts, you’ve never heard anyone tease about green chat bubbles? Never heard the joke “I don’t talk to poor people”? Didn’t see all that stuff blow up extra when the air pods came out?

There are plenty of crunchy granola moms who only let their kids play with wooden toys, regardless of age. Yes, your parents’ generation does affect your upbringing, but it sounds like your buddy had unusual parents regardless of age.

Idk about op but the vast vast majority of my voting decisions are local. It’s a bit easier to call the local guys good. Voting is about so much more than the president or governor

I really disagree. The lines and content are similar but the soul is completely lacking. This looks like it’s been simplified so much so it could be a coloring book or something. The soul from the plants is totally gone , the coloring of the windows, I look at the generated version and understand completely what I’m looking at, but I feel nothing. P

Yeah, Up was a weird example for me, too, but as someone who has watched Moana two dozen times, it’s always beautiful. The people are aged, with deep lines, the sand and the water and the straw, all the textures, all beautiful, and the setting is of course gorgeous.

Lilo and Stitch is a similar background, also so so beautiful, but it doesn’t make Moana ugly or useless in comparison.

Coco and Encanto, Moana and Brave, it seems like in the newer movies they’re not as addicted to killing the parents, so maybe someone did? I haven’t seen wish or raya so idk. The parents are also alive in Tangled I think but she’s kidnapped so I don’t think we can really count it as no parental trauma (or we could count it as 3 parents?)

It’s the fluoride!

My husband has to drive to different sites every day. He clocks in when he starts his car, and starts getting paid either an hour later or the minute he gets to the job site, whichever is sooner. So if they schedule him more than an hour from home, he gets paid for that extra drive time, which is nice. First hour is just expected commute.

From me and my husband’s family, 5/6 kids (late millennials and gen z) have absolutely fallen back on moving back in with Mom and Dad in order to made things work. Probably one of those could have made it work otherwise, and the one that didn’t have help lives in a tiny house. We’ve all been working the whole time, it’s just between crazy rent hikes, health issues, and hurricanes it just hasn’t been realistic to thrive (or in some of our cases thrive) without help. There’s no social safety net.

Most of my friends (we’re in our 30s) really want to start families and genuinely just can’t afford to. We couldn’t if we weren’t receiving support from family. Childcare is just prohibitively expensive (especially on top of rent and insurance).

Wait so why didn’t you just pick beer?

EDIT: I’ve just learned I was incorrect in my original comment below. Bars, taverns, nightclubs etc are included in third spaces according to Wikipedia. I guess I learned an alt definition at some point, or perhaps just a wrong definition.

The definition of a third place is that you can spend time there without the expectation of buying something. If you’re expected to spend money to occupy space, it’s not a third place.

(Fully agree that the loss of such spaces is killing us, though!)

Lmao staying alive to continue saying fuck spez

I get cravings for crackers when I cut down on carbs and I crave panda Express when it’s been a while. Guess I’m addicted to starch and crappy orange chicken

Also you’re ignoring that he’s taking a class about getting to carry concealed weapons. He’s not just dressing like this to do his errands. They’re not judging him based on looks alone. They’re judging him based on looks, actions, and a comment he made that he expects things could dissolve into a dangerous situation at a class. A mentally healthy person doesn’t expect things to pop off at a safety class. If he thinks it’s likely at a safety class, he definitely thinks things might pop off at a movie theater, a festival, a mall, a doctor’s office. I don’t want this nut showing up to any of these places with a gun, I don’t care how he’s dressed.

Yeah and also the “civilization” women destroy is purely the put men first civilization - the only civilization they’re interested in

He’s in some movie peanut butter falcon or something. It was good

Incredible

Oh my God is Linux pronounced Line-ux?

Huh. It’s just the Google icon, not Google home or Google Play or Gmail. I have a pixel.
