I mix these two up as well - thanks for the clarification.

That one time when we really needed IANAL to work for us.

Don’t make life choices based on the opinion of white supremacists.

I’m glad I went once, but agree and am ok with not going back. Milos is 1000x better imo.

• Andor
• SOE Manual
• A Woman of No Importance

Love these. A Woman of No Importance is a fantastic Virginia Hall book. Just fucking amazing the shit she did.

Others in this genre: Code Name Lise, D-Day Girls, and one of the many Nancy Wake books - Code Name Helene, Nancy Wake: WWII’s Most Courageous Spy, etc.

And you can also get the SOE Manual.

We need people like you to resist when you feel like it’s the right thing to do. You took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. As cringe as it may sound, we need you and others like you to do that now more than ever…because there is an obvious threat.

No, because a UFO is subjective. If you’ve never seen an airplane or a drone before, it may be a UFO. To most other folks, it’s an IFO.

PSA for those in the US; the Urgent Care type places that advertise “ER” in their title will be absurdly more expensive than “regular” Urgent Care places that do not advertise as such.

The reason is that the “ER” places have actual ER type equipment, but regardless if you use them or not, you will be charged as such.

Maybe this is common knowledge, but we learned the hard way when my partner went in for something very benign and we received a $1,000 bill, even though we had insurance.

These “ER” places are popping up everywhere, and there’s nothing to tell you that if you go down the road a block or so, it could make the difference between a cheaper co-pay and owing the full amount. In our case, almost $1,000.

I’ve never even heard of it but now I’m intrigued.

A bidet.

But seriously - you and others already mentioned the quesadillas, so I’ll add pintos and cheese as a side.

It’s just beans and cheese and their sauce in a little bowl but it’s good.

Also, do they still have meximelts? Can’t remember if they did away with them or not. Oh and gorditas.

I love my partner’s bigger t-shirts. I genuinely feel more comfortable and warm, especially on my shoulders. They can’t sleep unless the AC is set below 70, AND we have a window unit in the bedroom.

FWIW, I’m seeing a lot of Twilight reflection going on right now that’s not unlike the Star Wars prequel reflection from a few years ago. It’s definitely being revisited.

Monkey Money or Monkey Mart? Something like that?

There are 9-10 billion people on this planet.

Among those people, you have countless personal preference based on everything from what they expect to what makes them comfortable based on past experience.

There are also 10% or so with ADHD and other things, changing it up even more.

So run all of that through a computer showing you a majority of the likely outcomes, and there you go. There’s no way that your style, your choice of content, your presentation, how you present the material, etc, will please everyone because it’s impossible to do.

Oh wow - I totally did the alternate dimension thing too, hahaha!!! That’s hilarious. I bet it’s not uncommon, tbh

I’m sorry, OP. I come from a family like this and the best decision I made was to go away for University and make friends whose views and values aligned better with mine.

Same thing when I found a job. I “made” my own (non-biological) family, if that makes sense. I see my blood relatives at holidays and other events, say the required hellos and goodbyes, and leave when I’m ready.

I don’t have time for that shit. And I know it’s hard to see people you love behave this way, but you obviously turned out differently and that means that you can do better…and maybe even inspire some of the younger folks in your family in the process.

It goes both ways. Not all racists have the legitimate ignorance excuse - many just want a convenient excuse to have an “other” to blame their problems on so that they don’t have to take responsibility for their own failures in life.

In a way littering is similar - some folks just don’t give a fuck, others were raised not to think twice about it and so they don’t. The second group can probably be educated though.

There are ignorant people in every group who can be reasoned with and realize they’re wrong, and change.

And there are malicious dickheads who just don’t give a fuck who their destructive behavior hurts in the process and will continue on their path to watch the world burn.

The issues themselves aren’t always the main qualifier.

Just to clear up any confusion - you can understand violence and racism, but not littering?

And if I do understand correctly, maybe it’s because that’s how their parents were, so they honestly just don’t think about it. My parents were the complete opposite so I abhor it, but I’ve known folks who don’t think twice. We’re still friends, I just try to gently remind them.

I do not have any racist or violent actual friends friends though. Like, I don’t actively pursue their company.

God I wish.
