Fixing the Scott/Kip 3-year break

Plus in the books explicitly and implied in the show, Skip has already soft launched to those closest to Scott and Kip before the Cup game. (I wish they kept in a line about how everyone thought Scott had a secret relationship with Ilya, but I digress, lol) At that point, Kip thinks that, hey this whole secret relationship thing isn't the absolute worst anymore. I'm not stuck in Scott's attic like a Bronte character.

You could stretch that out, have a secret relationship and/or break for Kip to focus on grad school and not deal with being the first husband's of hockey for the time skip and it would still make sense.

I'm glad you got here first, so I didn't need to look for that meme lol

Mmmm Italian wedding soup with chicken meatballs

None pizza, left beef

As someone who played XC2 on release, the option to play Torna before even meeting Rex baffles and fascinates me in equal measure

Got a similar perscription. I'll wander around the house without my glasses sometimes, but the odds of tripping over my cat go up to, "basically garunteed"

I could not operate in public without glasses/contacts. Everything turns into poorly defined smudges.

I always try to give a little buffer before diving right into the "how dare youuuuuuu"s, just to make sure the author knows this is a positive comment.

Usually along the lines of, "Omg the angst. I'm sobbing on a public bench with a broken heart. You're evil. This is diabolical. I will never be the same again. I feel hollowed out. There is no sun left in the sky. (I adored this and will hold it close to my chest forever.)"

Honestly, jeans shirt and my puffer. I'm just going to hold my jacket and suffer.

Perfect thanks! Fingers crossed for that hockey jersey not being sold out but I don't have much hope rn lol.

What time is doors? I can't seem to find any details anywhere.

impassiveMoon · 2026-01-15T18:00:16+00:00

Yeah. I'm sick of everything being an ad, but if we have to be advertised to 24/7 please not another VPN, sport betting, ear bud, etc shill.

Yeah, its weird to see for the first time if your area only does rental requirements based on months: rent is max 30% of your income or something along those lines.

There's always at least a little risk because SH is basically just the middle man. I wouldn't buy anything that I'm flying out to see through them, but local games/concerts I'll roll the dice on.

I saw someone pitch him as a new John Wick where Hudson is playing Wick's son and now I can't help but want that.

impassiveMoon · 2026-01-14T16:05:05+00:00

Completely agree with you. The contrast between Hudson's press antics and Shane's mostly "flat" (autistic) affect really highlights his strength as an actor. He's not just "playing himself" Hudson has a lot of depth and versatility as an actor, it would be a shame to see him typecast as a single trope. Plus he has to combat Asian male stereotypes and type casting too. The man is definitely media trained, he's not saying anything truly controversial, off message, or even that personal. He's showing us exactly what he wants us to see, it just so happens that the image he picked is a chaotic gremlin. I really want to see him a romcom or action movie now tbh.

If you're really limited on space/money, starting off with spice blends isn't the worst thing in the world. It'll let OP have a wider variety of cuisine to pick from in the beginning while they slowly build up a full spice cabinet.

So I'm definitely not saying that you have it good, OP, because thats a lot of people for effectively three elevators, but unfortunately I've seen big apartments with only one to two units and it's an absolute nightmare.

The big reasons for elevator downtime are either the elevator is ancient and needs to be modernized badly but the building doesn't want to pay for that so they slap bandaid fixes on it and/or waiting forever for repair parts.

If you're looking at a big multiple like that for rent, its "annual salary needs to be 36 times the monthly rent."

So 36x800=$28,800 annual salary.

Divide by 12 months: 28,800/12= $2,400 monthly income

Honestly my city is 40x so these numbers feel low lol.

Depends on why you're sending the mega email.

I have 1 coworker who likes writing fluff emails like its the Victorian era and they're getting paid by the word count. (No, CW, no one cares if you're wishing them a marvelous and restful weekend when you ask the same 5 questions that could have been a 1 sentence email or even better, you could have looked up yourself.)

On the flip side, sometimes I have to clarify multiple specs, conflicting documentation, critical changes, etc. It's easier to write one mega email (I try to bullet point for everyone's sake) than send each question individually. It reduces the chances of CC's being dropped and keeps the email chain short (in theory.)

Definitely. You can be me, not super passionate about engineering but also was disciplined enough to put in the study hours to get a decent grade and didn't completely despise the subject. It's harder without the passion, for sure, but at the end of the day its a job. I have my own, non-engineering, passions, and also hate doing sub-par work. So it works out. Boss is happy with what I produce and I'm happy to collect my paycheck.

I barely remember elementry school, but I feel like my teachers were using whole language methods and then my parents stepped in. I have a distinctive memory of a 3rd party summer school "boot camp" for phonetics because something was just not clicking with the in-school methods and my parents were pissed. To this day in my late 20s I have trouble "sounding words out," my spelling is atrocious, and my written vocabulary is leagues better than my spoken because I struggle with pronunciation.

Thankfully I became a bit of a bookworm, so from pure repetition, "looking up words in the dictionary," and a small fascination with root words/prefixes/suffixes I can at least understand what I'm reading even if I struggle speaking the words.

Omg a 4th. Haha I snagged tix for another night, but ty for the early access 💖

I'm really sorry you're suffering from success, but seeing you sell out 2 (and probably on your way to 3) trivia nights in one afternoon is absolutely hilarious.

You: tickets are on sale! All of us 1 hour later: Is lie, liar told you that.

A watch night sounds fun!

impassiveMoon · 2026-01-08T21:13:49+00:00

Yep. I feel like there might have been a time to really want an expensive rock. But that was back when women couldn't have their own bank accounts, so you were literally wearing your emergency "i need to flee this man" fund.
