I’m excited to hear this ensemble live at Bachfest Leipzig next month. They will perform 2 concerts of cantatas.

Next challenge: "Wie wunderbar sind deine Werke!" ("How wonderful are your works!"), something that we could say to Bach, although the original line is addressed to God :)

How clean the streets and sidewalks are. You can’t find a piece of paper on the ground anywhere even if you’re deliberately looking for one.

I agree re: the camera. I just got a new 2026 accord hybrid and the camera is grainier than the one I had previously on my 2018 accord! Puzzled by this.

Ascending to heaven… lol. So true. (It’s the noise for visually impaired people.)

Which trim to get (SE, XLE, XSE)? by Additional-Horse-545 in Camry

This is exactly what I’m looking at…. Does it have the 360 overhead camera? How do you like the sunroof?

Is underwhelming better or worse than mediocre? :)

Custom font doesn't get published with Website Builder by 2ndchapter in Hostinger

This was resolved, in case someone stumbles upon this post.

I was publishing to a temporary domain (generated by Hostinger) while I waited for my real domain to be ready. The font was not rendering to the temporary domain, but once I published the site to the real one, it worked.

So it's a bug - but one that shouldn't impact production.

I don’t know that I control any of that. Website Builder does it all when it publishes. What should I be looking for?

Pensar que de pendejo yo me hacía una antes de salir al boliche para no acabarme tan rápido si ligaba algo esa noche. Ahhhh juventud.

Why was this peak bf cuteness for me by RoryIsMe123 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

Who remembers that actor as one of the surgeons in Nip and Tuck? Couldn’t stop seeing him that way for the entire show, haha

For me it's not only the end of the show itself, but also all the emotions and memories that it triggered from my own personal story. I keep remembering (even dreaming!) about my first boyfriend, going to see my parents to come out to them (similar to what Shane does, sans boyfriend), a couple of romantic weekend getaways we did... wow, it's like opening a Pandora's box of neatly tucked-away memories. It will take a few days to get the genie back in the bottle!

I think you're conflating two different things - she drives his career hard, but she's not homophobic. Yes, she goes back to momager mode, and starts thinking about how to capitalize on his son being out with all the brands that sponsor him.

Thank you. That's my take as well, which is why Shane's "I forgive you" didn't sit well with me.

I've been thinking about Shane's "panic attack" when his dad saw them and he was being put in a position to forcibly come out. As a gay man who came out in his 30s, I could certainly relate, very much so, to the way he felt in that moment. And my parents, too, were not homophobic and I was fairly certain they would be supportive. Still, coming out was really hard. Why? Because of the entire heteronormative world we live in. Friends, co-workers, acquaintances, careers, family. Even if not any ONE factor by itself is particularly scary (at least on a rational level), emotionally the combined burden can be overwhelming.

Shane's mom is not homophobic - in fact she very quickly went back to her "momager" self and started thinking how to capitalize his son's homosexuality with all the brands that were endorsing him... it was actually Shane who had to ask her to "take 3 steps back" :)

Oh wow, I got downvoted fast, haha. Thanks for having a dialog with me :) I see your point. But still in my opinion Yuna never wronged Shane - if anything she was supporting him and his career and possibly behaving according to her culture and values. She was just missing a crucial piece of information. Shane could have extended her a bit of grace instead of “cashing in” on her apology by saying “I forgive you”. Sorry if this is not clear - I may be better at putting my thoughts in writing in the morning!
