PNW clouds

As an atheist/agnostic, I believe the 9% are indeed people who think end-timers will kill us all in a man-made catastrophe while screaming the fire they set themselves is proof of god’s final judges.

I still have some covid home tests, will these still throw a positive on the new variants? (Assuming the test is still good)

Thank you for the list.

Is he mad the list isn’t all “American” actors?

Say the correspondent’s out loud.

Yes

How long does it keep once you make it?

I grew up eating garden tomatoes. Went to college, for the first time bought a grocery store tomato. Cut into it, tasted it… turned to my friend, what the fuck is this shit?

Real butter for things where you can taste it. Store brand for things where the other flavors are more overpowering and don’t really notice the butter.

I got a tortilla press and masa harina. I will not buy premade corn torillas again. Masa isn’t that expensive, add salt, water, mix, press, and cook on a dry pan (or super lightly oiled, i put a very light layer on mine since it’s cast iron)

So much tastier than store bought and better texture.

This is what I was going to say. Practice hills.

Practice taking off from being parked uphill.

Practice taking off from being stopped downhill.

People will park/pull up almost to your bumper and give you very little wiggle room.

Yes… Maybe the extra 58 saved is drinking coffee on the toilet trying to get things moving again?

My Dad did construction for 40 years. Even before the companies started hiring a lot of immigrants, it’s hard to find roofers.

It’s a hard to find people with the knowledge or ability to learn - that are also not afraid of heights and have the coordination to not fall off and the attention to detail to not make the conditions for other people to fall.

What’s kinda funny, this is exactly why I like Mastodon. I’m only seeing what I want.

But I spent a bit of time everyday checking out people that the people I followed had reposted and various recommdation lists. Then discovered hashtags, now I collect those. #bloomscrolling and #caturday amongst the first to freshen up the feed.

It took a few minutes a day and it was kind of fun finding communities and people.

I’d rather Bluesky properly federate so I could have Mark Hamill and a few others in my Mastodon feed without having to check Bluesky too.

Mastodon is like going to the local pub, I see my people. Bluesky is like going to Summerfest or your insert favorite huge music fest with tons of famous bands and tiny side stages and super crowded and it’s easy to lose your friends.

This looks like when he was saying Zelensky should say thank you, to his face. And has been doctored to look like the beginning stages of Violet’s transformation after chewing the experimental gum in the movie version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder.

Women are also fed lies that men don’t need emotional support. Also, women are told constantly that men don’t want to be friends with them and only want sex.

So there’s a good chance his friends that are women think he’s not having a hard time and/or he wants to sleep with them instead of talk.

I’m sorry OP that you are going through this. The advice to join an in person hobby or interest group is probably best. (To supplement your therapy)

Also, it’s also entirely possible, since it’s been 5 months, that everyone is overwhelmed with life and the world. I know I’ve not reached out as often to my friends the last 6 months (I’m stressed by country and the grief of losing my dad a few months ago.)

Also you say it seems like everyone is supporting your ex. Are they really? Or is she holding them hostage with her drama and steamrolling into their lives?

He might ignore it and keep yelling out numbers. But doesn’t this mean the people actually collecting the tariffs have to stop? And especially entities in blue states would use it as an excuse to stop collecting.

If you are safe from the prisoners and guards, get clean accommodations, are well fed, get outside/gym time for fitness, medical care, time to learn a vocation or study, occasional entertainment time (tv or whatever)… the only thing missing is a romantic partner… honestly, it sounds as good as an all inclusive retreat/vacation.

I imagine not having control over your own life for years at a time would wear one down. But months? If I knew my outside people weren’t suffering because of my actions, it sounds kind of nice.

But I’m an introvert that works from home, so, I’d miss my pets.

Why not nicotine gum? Or the patches?

(Asking as someone who grew up around smokers, dippers, and chawers - and now I’m incredibly grossed out by tobacco spit)

It’s not the same (obviously) but it depends.

If I buy a bag of jelly belly candy, I will eat the whole bag until I have a stomach ache, and then eat until the bag is empty. So I buy smaller amounts.

But other sugary snacks? I went cold turkey and cut out all sugar and it was all I could focus on, I craved sugar to the point of being miserable. I bought a bag of chocolates, told myself I could have one a day (like a mini snickers) - what happened will shock!

I ate one a day, and sometimes not even that. Just knowing it was there as an option took away the obsession and I ate overall a lot healthier.

So, yeah, I could do sugar in moderation with chocolate, but not with those tiny jelly beans.

Whatever your addiction is, only you know if you can really do moderation or not.

I know of other people that kept a pack of smokes or a pint of whiskey in the back of a cabinet. Knowing it’s there is enough, and they just keep putting off partaking until suddenly they realize it’s been a year or more and they haven’t thought about it in ages.

This person weaned off instead of cold turkey for the same outcome: cessation.

Moderation would be if they still smoked 2 cigarettes a day or a couple times a week instead of 2 packs every day.
