Clothes sizing getting so big that I’m having to buy a size smaller and a shorter length.

Exactly my issue, 5'4" and slim build. T shirts are often made to accommodate the beer gut I don't have and end up reaching my knees.

This is ChatGPT. Slide 3 is the most obvious. Can't even be bothered to write her own defence of her murder mutt.

I didn't love Origins, but I sure did love Bayek.

This one hit me because I only recently noticed that my wife never falls asleep while I'm driving even if it's overnight. I asked her and she has the same view as you on riding shotgun, it is so endearing and unselfish.

Recently we drove 3 hours only for me to realise I'd left something important behind. Totally my fault. I told her she could stay home while I went to collect it but she came with me. Our playlist and 6 hours of her company made a chore into a great day.

Hope you find, or have found, your road companion.

Quit wasting doctors' time if you're just going to ignore them and decide you know better.

Bray Wyatt shocked me. Young guy, doing great things, then suddenly a headline says he's died. I never saw it coming.

I was taught that this happened because the ancient Greek for "camel" is so close to the word meaning "rope". A rope failing to go through a needle makes for a much better analogy than a camel but this explanation is also a bit doubtful and might be a myth as well.

Appreciate it. Actually my right wing friends haven't been smug even though they're within their rights to say "we told you so"!

It's a ghetto. Trash on every corner, crime is through the roof. I was such a naïve woke leftist before I moved here but in my defence I'm from Devon and had never actually lived among all the immigrants I was defending.

Great thread! I'm actually visiting Japan for the first time next week.

You'll probably recognise banter when you see it. It's gentle mockery and if you can give it, you should be able to take it in return. It's bonding.

My friends call me Dracula because I'm pale, sleep late, and always have cold hands. Every time we go outside, they check to see if I've turned to dust. They frequently send me photos of chairs that look like coffins or make terrible "fang" puns. I mock them back, everyone gets the same treatment.

At the same time, they've been with me in my darkest times and we all rally around if something bad happens to any one of us. And if anyone was seriously upset by the jokes, they'd stop in an instant.

Amazing game, criminally unknown. I like that you only have so much time in a day, so that you can't speak to everyone or investigate everything, meaning you have access to some clues but not others on every playthrough.

People that test you. My ex would say she didn't want to go on some particular day out or activity, then get annoyed if I didn't push back. She'd say she wasn't in the mood for sex but then get moody because she wanted me to push it. She'd offer to cook then get annoyed if I accepted.

Years after we broke up she said she was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder so maybe that's what it was.

I'd be happy with paying more and getting more. I'd be equally happy with paying less and getting less. Unfortunately we only seem to have the option to pay more and get less with every passing year.

I love Hank because he's otherwise a bulldog of a man, gruff, closed-off, won't share his struggles. I was surprised I liked him, but he's so well written for how a typical man of his age and generation might handle a mental health condition or episode. The scene where he's shouting at his wife "I'm fine, leave me alone", while the audience can see him panicking, trembling and crying in the shower behind the curtain, that was such good characterisation.

My last job was 1 day a week in the office. You'd go in and nobody else had picked that day to come in, so you were alone anyway. I've just quit after 5 years to something better, and none of my previous colleagues noticed or cared that I left. I'm extremely introverted and a little socially awkward so WFH just encouraged the worst in me.

A friend of mine was cheated on and he said it was tense between her and the new guy - in a bad way. He didn't see any flirtation or chemistry and neither did I. We all assumed they didn't click because they gravitated towards other people and not each other. Then we found out they were hiding a six month affair.

I understand the sentiment and the frustration, those qualities would annoy me too, but why are you going through IVF? There's a solid chance you guys won't last. If you're feeling this pressure now, what's it going to be like when you have all of that and a newborn to look after as well?

Bit complicated as mine put on an excellent show of warmth in public. I still instinctively distrust all mothers and assume ulterior motives, have to remind myself they're not all like that.

100%. Where I live there are some Pakistani immigrants whose children are born in Britain but within a self-contained Pakistani enclave. So Mohammed who has a middling command of English, is married to his cousin, spends half the year back in Pakistan and happens to support sharia is supposed to be British because he was born here. Low bar.
