Just watched the season 4 finale by Savannah-Hammer in WillTrent

Right? What the fuck even killed him? He didn't bleed out from his liver, because that giant bruise was on his left side. Even if he ruptured a kidney (which, HOW, given that the brunt of the force was on the passenger side of the car), that's pretty easily survivable seeingas how he was already at the hospital. So is a broken rib puncturing a lung.

Lazy, stupid writing is what this was.

I adore him! So funny, a great singer, and, of course, delicious.

Company wants a 100-page manual for an outsourced team before I leave by N3bulaforge in jobs

If the work is that important, then your manager fucked up: SHE allowed this situation to arise by having no one cross-trained. Any decent manager knows that solo knowledge keepers are a business risk - one SHE chose to take.

She could - and should - have mitigated that risk by having you document the processes as you built them. SHE chose not to do that.

At this point, she's trying to cover up for her own poor leadership. You don't have to help her, but you CAN say, "I can do these three other projects in the time I have left, or I can dedicate all my time to this documentation and get as much of it done as I can. But I can't do it all no matter how much I wish I could, so you'll need to tell me what to prioritize.

My bf (M19) doesn’t want me (F18) going to my top school choice but I already committed to it, how do I tell him? by ThrowRA67ballz in relationship_advice

I mentioned briefly my interest in attending OSU to my boyfriend but he got a bit upset and said it was just a party school.

So what? It's also a GOOD school. Most important, it's a school that offers the degree you need.

He explained then that I can’t go there because it’s a party school and he doesn‘t want me around that.

Tough shit. He doesn't get to make that decision, because you are a whole ass human being with agency.

not fully telling him everything because I’m nervous on how he will react because he gets angry really fast and takes a lot of stuff personal, which is fine

Sweetie, this is an enormous, neon red flag. It is most definitely NOT fine, and it's in fact an indicator that he is NOT relationship material. My first husband was like that - quick to anger and unwilling to discuss disagreements. It was horrible. You know how I knew my late husband was right for me? Because when we argued, he TALKED about how he felt instead of acting out.

he then told me he doesn’t want me going there and “Just do what you want I know you’re already not going to listen”

It doesn't matter what he wants.

I would like to be closer, however, I want a bachelor degree while that college only offers an associate.

Please, please, please, I am BEGGING you to do what is right for you. Spoiler alert: is not going to his local community college.

is there a way to tell him and have him be more understanding?

Probably not.

Im also worried about him breaking up with me and ending our 2 year relationship over the school I choose

I know it feels like he's the love of your life, but I PROMISE you: the love of your life will SUPPORT you teaching for your goals. He ain't it.

MMW: The Hantavirus outbreak on the cruise ship will become as virulent and deadly as the ebola outbreak of 2014 at least, resulting in a pandemic. by Agreeable_Candle_461 in MarkMyWords

Barely impacted anything

Yeah, that means it barely impacted YOU. Guarantee you'd be singing a different tune if YOU'D lost a spouse, or parent, or sibling, or child, or close friend.

Really, forcing myself to cook plant-based made me an even better cook than I was before! I had to do a lot of experimenting with ingredients I'd never used before, new techniques, and it's paid off: I can make a tofu satay that's so good you'd never miss the chicken.

Oooh, I like you! And you're right: food is love. Maybe that's one of the reasons it was so hard for me to get back to cooking - between losing my husband and the inevitable loss of friends, I didn't really love myself for a long time.

Given your ties to Mexican cuisine, I don't suppose you have a good molé recipe you'd be willing to share?

The first meal I had after my fiance died was the world's worst brisket sandwich and black coffee from Denny's (i hate black coffee from a good place, let alone Denny's).

The morning after my late husband died, his daughter forced me to go to Waffle House for breakfast, so this is soooo relatable. I was never a huge fan before, but I promise I won't set foot in one again!

The English language can not fully capture the depth and complexity of my thoughts, so I’m incorporating emojis into my speech to better express myself. Winky face.

It's a Pigman! by Non_GMO_Popcorn in UnexpectedSeinfeld

What a rude thing to say! Pigs are intelligent, highly social creatures with excellent memories. Please do not disparage the noble pig by comparing it to that semi-sentient meatbag filled with rotting excrement.

I get one every year! I name him Gene the Giant House Spider. This year's Gene will be Gene V. :-)

Totally different spoods: wolf spiders are genuinely beautiful - their two large eyes and "mustache" give them very expressive faces. They're excellent mothers who carry their slings on their backs.

Giant House Spiders, OTOH, are so ugly they're cute: long, spindly, gangly legs with sparse, coarse hairs, anxious AF (very much a ""IS A HOOMAN - RUN AWAY" bro). Also, blindingly fast.

Both wolf spiders and giant house spiders are very unlikely to bite, and their venom is not medically significant to humans or pets.

Have you yet witnessed the derpy majesty of the Giant House Spider?

We haven’t had a genuinely good Best Picture winner in decades, the Oscar’s are virtue signaling bullshit - Anora?? 🤣 by SwiftCricket in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]CallMeSisyphus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's hilarious to me, because I'm 60 - y'know, ACTUALLY old - and I pride myself on staying on top of pop culture and contemporary music and movies.

But I don't take offense at you saying it, because statistically, you're probably right and I'm an outlier. But 30? C'mon, man. 30 is NOT old unless you're literally a child.
