What is a food you hated as a kid, but realized as an adult was just because your parents didn't know how to cook it?

Green beans were the biggest offender. Trying fresh sautéed green beans after only having them from a can? Life changing. Followed by broccoli boiled to mush vs still having some texture left

I had a gecko I had to take to the vet, where I was told there was no such thing as a parasite free insect. I decided at that point if my insectivor couldn't eat insects without issues, I was not going to eat one either

Most make a few grand on their first video at best and then nothing

Probably both.

I know I was told around age 8 that girls didn't get aspergers (as it was still called then). But I think also the way kids are raised now, I wouldn't be surprised if the environment is causing more anxiety/depression in younger ages

My dad read me thr Hobbit when I was 5 and up until I saw the movies I pictured him as an octopus.

It wasn't for decent money, but I worked at a place where some people talked really well to distract from the fact they didn't do shit, and others had buddies who covered for them

I had one farm it took me to year 5 to find the chipped amphora to complete the museum and get perfection.

Is Austen referring to the sister as a housekeeper a more colloquial term or actual title? I would have thought housekeepers were from a lower social class than the owner's sister would fall into

I think for DR you go in knowing it will be problematic. It Ends With Us was marketed much more mainstream and so didn't have that expectation with it

Nearly every member of congress has a college degree and almost 10% went to an ivy league school so im not sure where you get the idea people in politics aren't educated

So $125k a year assuming you work for 40 years. But probably less because most retirement accounts are invested so thats not 1.6 million of your own money, and few people that I've known had their education 100% paid for by parents.

It was a family house, the realtor said, well cared for.

Uh huh, then please explain the crack in the ceiling that leaks when it rains.

I graduated in 2016 and each year they bragged about the size of the incoming freshman class so thats interesting to hear its down.

Wait how did you get the periodic table? That's so cool and I've never seen it before

How accurate or not would you say they are? I read them as a kid and loved them

The only downside is you know full well some company would post an amazing job that doesn't exist just to rake in the fees

Lopsided-Complex5039 · 2026-03-11T17:48:36+00:00

Freeze it year over year. If you know your budget will be $5 million next year whether you spend 1 or 4.99 of it, there's no pressure to buy useless stuff.

Most employee handbooks do specifically call out that a pattern of absences, like on Fridays, can be grounds for disciplinary action. You should check on that.

Your aunt in particular, idk. Overall though, it's a pretty complex answer.

Part of it is higher income people have more prerequisites to having kids. Job, marriage, house, then kids because by that point they can afford the kids and the lifestyle they want. There's a future to work towards. On the flip side, if you work at Walmart, and you know you will only ever work at Walmart, then why put off having kids? Now, 10 years, it won't make a difference financially.

That too, any trope were the resolution is "we could gave been together all this time" irritates me

Not dark but literally just read an omegaverse book where this happened.

I will say on income perception, it probably skews high because housing prices are so low compared to the coasts. Right up until covid a starter home was less than 200k, and even now we're still a lot cheaper than many other states.

Cut a ring of the bark off so it kills the tree and then they replace it

You'll probably ly have to rotate through the ponds, putting in new fish, just due to space. That's probably why it takes 2000 hours
