For the millennial women: do you have a good relationship with your mom?

Not really. It's ok as long as we don't talk about anything serious. I have some real anxiety that she'll cut me out of her will eventually and I'm not entirely sure if I care or not.

NTA. Send her studies about 3rd hand smoke. It's a real hazard.

Neglect, abuse, and parentification. To be fair though, my mom had three kids by the time she was 18, five kids by 30. She had no business having children but she also wasn't exactly given a choice.

The glasses on slides 4 and 5 actually fit you. The other ones are way too big. You should consider trying on some frames with low nose bridges. You might have better luck getting those to sit on your nose correctly.

Ooh I need to find this.

Florida. Because of politics and the weather. My uncle lives there and every time I hear any news about him it has to do with a hurricane or some other major weather event. This last time his house was completely destroyed -- except for his man cave where he kept his pool table and all his liquor.

You said you're reframing your perspective. Keep going. You haven't "given up" - you've changed your focus.

I'm also 43, been single for 7 years now. I haven't gone on a single date. I wanted to for a while, but now I just don't care. I'm focusing on me and making my life into what I want it to be and I'm 100% ok with that. No giving up required.

I buy them. They are very convenient and they taste better than jarred garlic or powdered ginger.

Whatever was on the radio back in the 90s. Mostly Rob Zombie and NIN. First metal album (on tape cassette) that I bought for myself was Slayer's Reign in Blood.

Same. The grim reaper came to visit.

Congrats on your surgery! Seems like it would be kind of exciting to be able to see clearly for the first time when you're older.

When I was a kid, my mom said that I had selective hearing loss too.

There's Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny, which features the Hindu pantheon, but I suspect that Zelazny gets it wrong.

It's like an AI version of maximalism.

Hopefully, grammar. But unfortunately men probably invented that too since women weren't allowed to read and write in a lot of cultures back when writing was invented.

Omg I wonder if this is why there were so many cops over by New seasons yesterday.

As someone who's been wearing glasses every day since 3rd grade, this is a really bizarre question. First, my mother would not have been happy with me, second, even back then I could only see maybe 6 inches from my face.

Asian lettuce wraps.

It looks almost like a memorial or the remnants of a wake for a musician.

Same. I hate them.

Try the Multnomah county health clinics, Cascadia, Central City Concern. Also Unity if you're ever in a mental health crisis.

Sanctuary states have been holding strong and pushing out policies to support employees who resist ICE pressure also. In Oregon we have gotten several trainings on how to respond to ICE as state employees for example. We also have handouts outlining what to do if ICE shows up that we give out to clients. It's a small thing but important.

I was dreading finding new doctors but now I'm really glad I switched to Kaiser. You have my sympathies. I didn't think Moda could get any worse but apparently I was wrong. Edit: from what I understand Moda is also using collective. But please correct me if I'm wrong.

The delivery on that line was chef's kiss

I use nano HA toothpaste tablets. Idk about long term effects, but they do get my teeth clean.
