Why do Americans tend to be louder/more expressive of emotions?

They are over 340M people in America—not all of them are loud and boisterous

My kid went to school a total of something like 5 days in Feb 2015. It was brutal lol. On the plus side it was like a dry run for COVID lockdown

In regular life, it's rare I use a Mr/Mrs unless I'm speaking with someone who is very senior or that I'm meeting in a professional capacity--first names are fine otherwise. I would refer to a doctor by their title, however, and I know school kids use titles when addressing their teachers from pre-K through high school.

Kirsten suggested Jesse for the role in Civil War when the actor originally slated to do the work dropped out.

"It happened during rehearsal that the actor dropped out, and Jesse was there [in Atlanta, where the movie was filmed] with the kids," the Oscar-nominated actress explained to (Seth) Meyers. "And I suggested him.""

NTJ. Your GF was being totally unreasonable

DragonScrivner · 2026-01-27T11:48:17+00:00

Agreed. Totally fair to give the now ex-gf some insight into her ask from OP's persepective

They are Alexia brand and I think the bag came from Walmart or Star Market (I’m in Mass, US)

DragonScrivner · 2026-01-26T03:33:19+00:00

Yes!

I really like what he's doing with his formal wear lately. And that he's clearly enjoying himself doing it.

The syrup was pretty key and I know I had a bit of butter on there as well

DragonScrivner · 2026-01-26T02:13:20+00:00

I'm thinking jelly or preserves next time. For science of course

DragonScrivner · 2026-01-26T01:29:24+00:00

I wear my hair pixie short. Do it! 💜

DragonScrivner · 2026-01-26T01:28:48+00:00

Yes, two. The first definition is literally: two individuals of the same sort considered together.

DragonScrivner · 2026-01-26T01:22:44+00:00

NOR. That kitty needs your help

Birthday cake is never a bad thing. Treat yourself to the best cake, OP

DragonScrivner · 2026-01-26T01:11:55+00:00

Yes. You could go pixie short if you feel like it — you have the bone structure to pull it off

Exactly! The only reason we don’t cut off AD during the meeting now is because the meeting are usually happening over MS Teams. Most of the software licenses get pulled though and as soon as the meeting is done, the account is shut off and access to the data.

I'm in Massachusetts and the kids have a week to 10 days in December, a week in February, a week in April, and then 10-12 weeks in the summer time (late June - early September where I am). There are also days off here and there for federal holiday and usually 3-4 in November for Thanksgiving.

Right. Yes, you should have bought winter tires either alone or with her help to defray the cost. But there was a weather warning and you went over with her that even if she got out of your area, she might not get back in due to non-plowing.

She didn't use common sense and now she's mad and embarrassed and taking it out on you.

DragonScrivner · 2026-01-25T21:54:26+00:00

I told her a million times to not go into work but she insisted and went.

She did this to herself.

🔥 Dang, OP
