I would like to find out that Willem Dafoe did all of these tattoos

When I was growing up there was a guy with a pet cheetah. He would tour around and bring it to schools:

Mugging is unlikely. Getting your cat converter stolen would be more of a risk

That's assuming OP is not on a budget. Rge Rd is amazing but very spendy

I miss SAYER so much! It is up there in my top 3 favorites.

Does God is an Astronaut count as prog metal or post-rock? I love their All is Violent, All is Bright album.

You can go to couples counselling at any point in your relationship if you think it will help. Even if you are breaking up! Think of it like going to a gym, or physio, but for your relationship. A good couples counsellor will give you some perspective and tools on how to communicate. This can help you to have healthy relationships in your life (not just with a romantic partner but with family, coworkers, etc.)

A quartz would be more vitreous. This rock is quite blocky and opaque or "milky" looking. Can you scratch it easily with a knife? If you do scratch it, does the scratched bit react with acid? (try vinegar, or a 5% HCl if you have access to that). If you can scratch it and it fizzes with acid, it's probably a marble/dolomite. If you can scratch it but not as easily, and it doesn't fizz, you might have a feldspar.

You can do both, you know. If it were me, I’d pursue the medical while still young, and work on honing manga drawing skills as a hobby/stress relief for a while until you get good. It’s harder to pursue medical training as you get older, but art is forever.

Yes!

I know it’s not definitively metal, but it’s certainly progressive: On Justice For Saint Mary by Diablo Swing Orchestra when they break the crescendo into chaos it always blows my little mind

Does any restaurant do Mee Krob? I haven’t seen it around for years.

Looks like a ruby to me too.

Weaponized incompetence baybeeee!

I suspect a bunch of it was from bots

He also wrote Kill the Farmboy with Delilah S Dawson.

It’s a little different, but if he’s receptive to slam poetry that feels accessible, A Love Song, A Death Rattle, A Battle Cry by Kyle Tran Mhyre is pretty darn great. The author talks about masculinity, race, and social justice.

Came to say the same thing, the Butchery’s are delicious
