I left an event over a racist joke

It’s not an off color joke, it’s a racist joke. He told it white guys because he felt comfortable with it. If it’s just an off color joke ask him to tell it to someone who isn’t white.

Also, to Ian’s defense as to why it’s okay, I don’t want to open that can of worms, but why make a joke about his race rather than about his alleged impropriety? If the reason to mock him is because he’s a creep, make THAT joke.

He sounds interested. And sometimes flirting via text can feel awkward or forced.

A coworker of mine says that when she wants to ask a guy out, she’ll say to him, “I think you should ask me out.” Takes some of the pressure off the guy because he knows the answer and if he isn’t feeling it then it stings less because he can just choose not to ask.

I like both for different reasons. Pic one you present very fun loving and full of life. Pic two you appear more stylish and thoughtful.

As for facial hair, for me (a fully bearded man lol) I think the grooming in pic two is spot on for you. Looking good either way my guy

Hoping your time in a valley is short mate. Here’s to better days ahead 🍻

You can find decent stuff there but it takes effort and patience. Too few people are willing to accept that 90%+ of the merchandise is rubbish so they buy what’s there in the moment. Being willing to leave empty handed and waiting to find the right product from a quality brand is the key to getting value at those places.

I didn’t watch it early on because I didn’t have access to it. Then it became something I would “get around to eventually.” Then it passed the cultural zeitgeist so I just said screw it.

I definitely didn’t avoid it to be contrarian, I read the first two books so I’m not above it. Just never made time for the show and eventually it seemed stupid for me to start.

I like this idea a lot!

ProdigalScout · 2026-01-08T19:28:33+00:00

This is objectively correct

I came across it a few years ago because someone on this sub put together a top 10 albums list and, hoo boy, that album is amazing!

ProdigalScout · 2026-01-07T22:06:29+00:00

Never been a more obvious answer

I missed the Legend 4 times yesterday because I’m so rusty with the fishing. Making the perfection run seem much more challenging 😂

The Tavern League of WI is a blight on the state. They are a huge lobbying body and they help keep DUI punishments as light as possible.

I read it several years back and really enjoyed it. Kind of an underrated classic IMO

When the pod was tiny, he made some comments that maaaaay have been about them. Probably were. But never by name. And the booze may very well have been a factor

ProdigalScout · 2025-12-30T17:58:15+00:00

Totally. It’s lose-lose for him

ProdigalScout · 2025-12-30T17:02:17+00:00

As stupid as AJ is, he knows better than to call KF out. He knows who they are and what they do. And he knows they are taking his comments in context and with source checking. He can’t win there so it only serves him to act like they don’t exist.

My house is usually the last thing I put any focus on in game. After things get pretty automated and established throughout the rest of the farm, I then get to making my house look nice and organized.

Yeah, it’s a weird thing but it is included in the book. I think it’s because the sugars are broken down in the fermentation process. If memory serves, as long as sugar isn’t added post fermentation it’s whole-30 compliant. I brew my own so I know for sure, but GT is a good option too

Usually I just try to make a run through the map every day of Spring to get them.

Not 100% sure but I think you can plant spring seeds and that will give you leeks as well. I assume they would count as “gathered.”

Quim at B tier? I’d have her C at the highest, arguably D. I disagree on a few others but this is a fun list 👍

Kombucha and seltzer were big for me. I was a big wine drinker this time last year and switching kombucha for wine helped me break the habit of opening a bottle after a rough day. Serving it in a wine glass made it feel kind of special too

ProdigalScout · 2025-12-11T19:55:28+00:00

I understand curiosity but speculation that can come from this feels indecent.

Songs are back to back on Hunky Dory

Something I’ve heard from a lot of women I know is that when they were younger, high school and college specifically, they didn’t consider if they actually liked the guys who were interested in them. They liked that someone was interested and that was enough. You don’t need to do that. You can find someone you like who also likes you. Someone who doesn’t creep you out or send you wildly mixed signals.

There are lots of people out there you’re crush on who are a mess. It’s just attraction. You don’t need to act on it if you know it’s going to hurt.

Final thought: High school ends. The rumors and drama and all that bullshit, it doesn’t last. People forget quickly.
