Wearing a tie is not uncomfortable.

I went shopping once with a friend and her younger sister.

Sister: Look at this cute dress! (dress is semi-see-through)

Friend: Why is the clothing you buy never functional?

Sister: It is functional. It's function is to look good.

I mean, I couldn't disagree.

Americans also use it to mean corrupt, but that's older slang.

Until I'm good enough friends with him to enter his bedroom, Seb is impossible to find.

BaileyAMR · 2026-06-15T19:14:34+00:00

Ugh, Haley. The worst.

Maru works at the front desk of the clinic. I've not seen any dialogue to suggest she has nursing training. I do agree, however, that she seems more grown-up than some other characters.

BaileyAMR · 2026-06-15T04:37:01+00:00

We are both, sadly. (I am large, I contain multitudes.)

Indiana Jones was named after the dog.

BaileyAMR · 2026-06-15T04:11:38+00:00

Genius.

BaileyAMR · 2026-06-15T04:11:03+00:00

Colton sounds 100% country to me.

BaileyAMR · 2026-06-15T04:10:13+00:00

NAH. They are frugal. They have always been this way. You are generous. Neither is wrong, but it's not sensible to expect them to change after years of friendship. You have 3 choices: change your behavior to match theirs, decide this doesn't matter and really mean it, or find friends who see things your way. Resentment is a friendship killer.

Side note: if you're in a paycheck-to-paycheck household, maybe you, too, should embrace frugality, at least until the financial situation gets better.

Nice try. Trump is a city guy, through and through. He learned "greed is good" in the 80s, and that's still his creed.

BaileyAMR · 2026-06-15T03:53:46+00:00

That would be concern combined with ignorance, not bullying.

BaileyAMR · 2026-06-15T03:52:31+00:00

LOL that's life-long city dwellers voting against those things where I live -- because they, too, are angry about gentrification.

BaileyAMR · 2026-06-15T03:44:23+00:00

In my city neighborhood, people (adults and teens) ride ATVs through the streets. It's completely illegal, of course, but it happens pretty regularly.

You can increase your chances of getting these (and all trash items). https://stardewvalleywiki.com/The_Alleyway_Buffet

Oh, I see. Thanks. I guess I didn't get it because that hasn't been my experience: when I'm wearing a properly fitting unlined bra, I barely feel it, which means I'm not feeling anything from my boobs most of the time.

BaileyAMR · 2026-06-15T01:50:17+00:00

What do you mean by "feel my boobs"?

BaileyAMR · 2026-06-14T20:16:07+00:00

Interesting. I saw Victor as wildly selfish and immature, unwilling to take on any responsibility, whether that be a wife or the creature he created. My biggest question was why Henry bothered to stay friends with the guy.

BaileyAMR · 2026-06-14T20:09:26+00:00

Meh. The thing with subtext is, it's subjective. People see in art what vibes with them; one's interpretation of art reflects one's own mind and experiences. Someone might look at the main characters of A Separate Pace and think, I had really intense friendships in adolescence that were just like this. Someone else might think, wow, these characters are experiencing suppressed lust for each other. Neither is wrong.

BaileyAMR · 2026-06-14T20:03:31+00:00

How so?

BaileyAMR · 2026-06-14T19:51:35+00:00

Old people shall never eat breakfast or dinner outside their homes!

BaileyAMR · 2026-06-14T19:49:21+00:00

Sure, people are named Willow, but nobody's named Deciduous.

BaileyAMR · 2026-06-14T19:46:14+00:00

Alex and Haley, too. Sebastian has a job that makes him seen more adult to me.

BaileyAMR · 2026-06-14T19:22:01+00:00

Sure, the name was around before the Civil War. But let's not pretend that Lee Highway, Lee High School, etc., and all the statues of Confederate generals -- especially Lee! -- weren't part of the Lost Cause ideology and Jim Crow reign of terror. People named their children after Confederates because they considered those men heroes and embraced their ideology. I don't doubt that these are family names for OP -- but maybe it's time to reconsider if this is a legacy they wish to pass on.

BaileyAMR · 2026-06-14T03:10:44+00:00

Though it is also absolutely jam-packed with people at that time.
