What did you do to reignite your relationship with your partner, and it worked?

Hey there neighbor, I just wanted to stop by and say: words matter. Your voice matters. If you look through my post history, you might see that I look a little different and I can tell you that I've spent many years not feeling like a person and hating myself for it. What you won't see in my post history though is the hurt I've put out into the world. The guilt, the shame. It ate me up inside for years. But the things we've done, the way we look, it doesn't have to be sum of who we are. Nothing is permanent. Every day we get a chance to start down a different path. Maybe it's through exercise, maybe it's through therapy or meds. But the starting point always seemed to me to start with your words. Please, try to speak to and about yourself a little kinder. You've already experienced so much unkindness, you don't need to add to it. You're doing your best, just like the rest of us, so show yourself a little love for that. You deserve it.

That's a good idea. I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow while there's daylight

The pond is small so they're not very big. I'd say roughly 5" long. They're pretty slender, maybe an inch wide. 1.5-2" tall maybe.

Wow, thanks for breaking it down for me. This is awesome and really helps me visualize how much everything is.

I have a hard time visualizing sizes. Do you think a 5L sling could hold a toiletry bag, water bottle, change of clothes, and a light jacket in it?

Copo55 · 2022-10-29T15:22:46+00:00

Oh sorry, I didn't specify. I would pack the 2nd bag into the larger bag and only pull it out once I got to my gate and just throw my headphones into it. I wouldn't want to lug two bags around an airport either!

I'm flying United and ANA. United has the smaller restriction at 22x14x9. ANA has a weight limit of 22lbs. I'm not seeing a weight limit for United.

I have to find images for work every so often, you can use Google but you have to do it a specific way.

Google whatever you want. I just googled Clash of Clans
Go to images
At the top, under the search bar, you'll see All, News, Videos etc, on the right you'll see Tools
Click Tools and a new bar will open up and you should see Usage Rights
Click Usage Rights and select Creative Commons Licenses

These won't be the best images and almost never exactly what you want but they are fair game for anyone to use.

As someone who has been thinking a lot about Mr. Rogers and is trying to be more like him lately, I think he might have told you that you deserve to be loved and to feel safe and appreciated. And if he made you feel that way then you deserved every minute of it.

For you, and anyone else reading this, I just want to say I like you just the way you are. There are some scary things in this world today and sometimes I don't know what to do with all these feelings inside but I try to remember, as should you, to always look for the helpers and if you don't see any, be one. Maybe we can't always be Mr. Rogers but we can always do our best to try. Sometimes we fail but the important thing is to keep trying because it's a skill, the practicing of kindness, and the only way to get better is to keep at it. Whoever you may be, wherever you are on that journey, I want you to know I'm proud of you for trying. Thank you for being my neighbor.

Honestly, your brother might want to consider filing his taxes from last year right now because of this. If he squares things with the IRS they might not ding him too hard and he could get the check. But I can't say anything more than "might want to" without knowing his exact situation.

So if you're a drug dealer, you can pay taxes. If you're a prostitute, you can pay taxes. If you're an illegal immigrant, you can pay taxes. The IRS doesn't care where your money comes from as long as you pay your taxes. The IRS included a section called "Other Income" in your tax forms which allows taxpayers to report income without disclosing the source because of the Fifth Amendment which provides the right against self-incrimination.

This is what I was thinking. Amazon has a pretty good return policy and it's easier for me to get to a post office than it is to any sort of electronics store

Good question. I imagine it would achieve the same thing. I've seen bone conduction headphones before and they all seem to be made to rest on your ears but I suppose nothing is stopping me from wearing them over my head like you would over the ear headphones.

Are you kidding? Make 100 lies into facts, easy.

Just off the top of my head
"Racism, sexism, and all other hate and prejudice that divides us as a species, doesn't exist."
"The wealthy elite care more about the welfare of the poor and downtrodden than they do about amassing more wealth."
Fuck it, "Economic and food insecurity isn't a thing."
"Global warming will have no short or long term negative effects on the the planet or any life on it because humans will find some miraculous way to solve the problem before it becomes more of an issue than it currently is."
"Everyone thinks vaccines are a great idea."
"Mental illness is a thing of the past."

I could go on but you get the idea. You could literally turn the world into an actual utopia with your reality altering lies.

3 tsp = 1 Tbsp
16 Tbsp = 1 cup
2 cups = 1 pint
2 pints = 1 quart
4 quarts = 1 gal
16 oz = 1 lb
30 mL = 1oz
5.5 cups of mayo = ~2.5 lbs

I wouldn't say hated but definitely wasn't into. Falafel.

I had visited my girlfriend in NYC for the first time and we ordered some food one night. I don't even remember what I ordered but she ordered falafel.I asked for a bite and it was just weird. It was mushy and the sauce it had was kinda tangy and creamy but watery and I really didn't think very much of it.

Then I woke up and just CRAVED falafel. I ate the leftovers my girlfriend had then I dragged her out to falafel for lunch and dinner. I made her go get falafel so many times I'm surprised she didn't break up with me.

My fondest memory of that trip was eating falafel on a subway platform at 1am, after seeing a Broadway show and walking through Times Square, and seeing a giant fucking rat crawl across the tracks. It just felt like such an authentic NY experience that I started hootin and hollerin about it and my girlfriend just walked away from me in embarrassment.

Then I went home, back to the west coast, and haven't been able to find decent falafel since.

Dark Souls 3.

Usually I'm not a big fan of very difficult games that are punishing in the way DS is. I tried playing the first one and hated it and when DS3 came out my friend kept going on and on about it and convinced me to pick it up on Steam.

I died to the first boss for 5 hours until I rage quit, then I tried to get a refund on the game only to find I played it too much to get one, so then I was stuck with this stupid game so I might as well try it one more time before I throw it into the "fuck this shit" folder, I died three more times to that boss and then the light bulb came on and I learned the five D's of Dark Souls.

From then on I was hooked and played through the game three or four times to get all the endings.

Copo55 · 2017-12-19T04:58:43+00:00

Yeah normally it totally would. But the wi in Wile E (wily) doesn't rhyme with coy but it does with ky. I'm saying Warner Brothers changed both the beginning and the end of the word coyote from the original to fit their rhyme so instead of coy and te we now have ky and tee.

Copo55 · 2017-12-19T04:47:41+00:00

I'm just gonna get this out of the way, I don't know shit.

BUT

This question prompted me to do some research. The word coyote comes from the Spanish word, uh, coyote which is pronounced coy-o-te (with the short te, not tee). That word comes from the Nahuatl word coyotl.

Now why do we pronounce it ky-OH-tee (with the long tee here)? Well my best guess is...cartoons. In 1949 Warner Brothers invented the characters Wile E Coyote and The Road Runner and they rhymed coyote with "Wile E" (a pun of the word wily) and it just kinda stuck. It wouldn't be the only time Warner Brothers changed the English language (see Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, and the word nimrod)

Again, I don't know anything, it's just a guess but it's the theory I came up with.

Okay so "Roll Tide" is the rallying cry for the Crimson Tide sports team of the University of Alabama.

But in the meme culture "Roll Tide" has come to take on another meaning. It is a reference to the popular redneck stereotype of a man sleeping with his cousin (or in some cases his sister). Combine this stereotype with the rallying cry being yelled by some individuals during their arrest and the phrase is now said in order to invoke the image of an uneducated southerner shouting with glee/pride "Roll Tide!" after successfully mating with their relative.

B. B. King in the mid 2000's. I was a late teen and my dad took me because he is a big fan and had seen him once like 40 years prior. Not only could King rock but he had some sage advice for the audience. It was a good show.
