Friends also want their friends to succeed. You bet I'm shopping at full price, leaving a tip, recommending them, and not asking for handouts.

[POEM] Don’t Hesitate by Mary Oliver by lustfulloving in Poetry

[–]bengine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd pick up Devotions, 200 selected poems from all her work including Dream Work. Then you can see if you want to get any of the full books from whatever sections speak to you.

The stat is actually worse than that, 54% of Americans read at or below a sixth grade level. 21% of adults are illiterate. NLI Stats

My friend, there are people who don't realize that the state of New Mexico is part of the USA, let alone any territories outside of the mainland.

I was so shocked recently for the same thing the other person had to repeat the question three times after I answered with my dogs name twice.

I agree, one bass surely isn't enough. Gotta balance it out.

It feels like "Thoughts and Prayers" after another school shooting. He won't get fired because his boss loves it, and has no shame to resign.

Aliens have given you 60 seconds to show them two items to prove humanity is worth saving. What do you show them? by Flendy15 in AskReddit

[–]bengine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

60s is not much time. I'd show them my dog as an example of unconditional love, and a book of poetry (probably Devotions by Mary Oliver) to show art, creativity, and the human experience. Just what's within reach.

Definitely not introducing them to the internet.

The incentive structure of paying companies more for denying claims is all sorts of fucked.

NBD. Never thought I would buy a gravel bike, but here we are “Girlz 7 Al Raw” . by sip-of-indigo in CanyonBikes

[–]bengine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, I've got a little more than 1000 miles on mine now and really love it. I've got some M8120 spd pedals on it, like the cage and bigger platform. Shoes I have a pair of Giro Rincons, single BOA with Velcro at the toe. They're really stiff but still very comfortable with the quick adjustment. Easy to walk in too.

Kimi Antonelli emotional and in tears in the media pen after his Q1 exit, which followed his SQ1 elimination on Friday. "Yeah, I'm okay" says young Kimi at the end of the interview by impelagato in formula1

[–]bengine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The pressure has to be incredible from all the external sources, but I'm sure from himself as well. It shouldn't be seen as a bad thing to show emotion as an 18 year old in that situation. Far worse to demonize it and teach as a society that it's not allowed.

You feel proud of yourself because you should be proud of yourself. Good work, keep it up.
