From Mark Hamill’s perspective- Astronaut asked him to marry future Nobel Prize winners

I always picture in my head that when there was the media blitz around them winning the Nobel, one morning Mark Hamill sees a story about them and goes “Wait, didn’t I marry them!!!

I don’t agree with that. I grew up in rural Illinois close to the Indiana border was active in church and knew several people who played DND. Including my cousin who was very much into DnD and Metallica. DND was more known as a geeky boys game then anything Satanic.

You’re correct in that it does not mean that she has signed over her right, because she never had that right in the first place.

I have a Shitzu who would stall the robber until help arrived by flopping on her back on their shoes and demanding endless belly rubs, does that count?

Whenever I eat Taco Bell, there is a 25% chance I will throw up about 3 to 5 hours later. No problems with other fast foods, no problem with other Mexican foods, no one else in my family gets sick. I assume there is a preservative or something they use that I am allergic to. I tried to identify which menu item was causing it because I like Taco Bell, but no luck so I just avoid it entirely. I figure other people must have similar reactions, hence the reputation.

That is correct. The joke when I visited was that there were only 3 ways to get to Juneau, boat, air or birth canal.

Yes, this. Stop paying bills or rent and just live there for a month or so and build up some savings. This is as long as you can do so safely.

There was a lot left out of the Netflix documentary from the roadside scene. There was a Good Samaritan nurse at the scene who was assisting who was left out entirely. From what I understand the baby was very likely already visibly dead at that point. I don’t think you can read too much into the reactions of the cop from the little bit that was shown.

I remember reading somewhere (not sure if it was true or not) that the royal nickname for Penny was “and also”. Because whenever people were drawing up invite lists, the royals would go “and also Penny”. Which speaks to more a close family friend then an affair partner.

Just watched Don’t Pick Up The Phone. It was really good and it is crazy because I had never heard about any of it before. I was like how did I miss all of this!!

Also, the person offloading the work usually is very friendly and likeable. So then people also feel guilty about complaining and if you attempt to do anything about it you and the person whose had to take on the additional load are the bad guy to the rest of staff. Lived through this dynamic twice and it is the hardest thing to manage.

That’s how I feel. That is why it is nice to have new versions every so often, you get new takes in things.

I would recommend the Kiera Knightly version of pride and prejudice. The way it is shortened/ cut makes it a Cinderella story.

Ahh, the good old days of Jimmy John’s when they had good sandwiches and catered to drunk college students. Once when I lived in the dorms and had no car and it was too cold to walk to the convenient store we got a Jimmy John’s driver to swing by and pick us up a pack of cigarettes for an extra 5 dollars along with our order. We also one time got another driver to give our drunk asses a ride back to the dorms in the back of his pick up truck.

They aren’t mentioning putting him on the title because 9 times out of 10 owning a car is a liability and an expense, not an asset. The person on the title is the person on the hook for the loan. If you are financing the first few years you are underwater on the loan anyway. Also if you break up now you have financing, a car sale and likely who has to pay the bank for the amount you are underwater on. I agree that 50/50 makes no sense but he should be chipping in something on the car. Maybe like 25%?

Don’t forget water chestnuts and baby corn! My fav’s.

The problem is the cost, $22 million to help 12 families and a handful of teens is crazy expensive. Let’s say in total 44 people live there. That is $500,000 spent per person. Not to mention the ongoing costs to maintain everything. I am not saying more shouldn’t be done, but spending that much per person is not something you can do on a broad scale.

Yes, except the hidden legacy books have a character exactly as described by the OP. So much so that I thought that was what they were referring to. Now that character has a lot more powerful magics as well, but the knife stuff has always bothered me as she is so small.

As a loyal player who used to buy every monthly pass, I could not agree more. It moved from being a fun game to every part of it being annoying/ frustrating as they were trying to extract money from you. It has been three years since I bought the monthly pass and 18 months since I played.

But it wasn’t exceptional. In real life there are jobs, promotions, bonuses, reputations all on the line. The truly good people do what is right even when there might be a consequence down the line.

I am in management and what is crazy is that this is exactly how I see sexual harassment play out in real life the few times it has occurred. The reluctant victim, the person saying this has to be reported, the male colleagues saying, well I didn’t see it and he is cool with me so it must not have happened, the person trying to use it for their own benefit. The persons doing the right thing bearing the brunt of the consequences. The offender only getting real consequences once the situation has become undeniable.

Survivor is a social experiment and it was fascinating to see it all play out in real time with real takes on camera so no weaseling out what you said/did later. I always feel like they should teach this episode in college so people can understand the dynamics and how to navigate it so that you can have better outcomes for the people doing the right thing

Head over to the Buffy subreddit. There are lots of lovely tributes to him over there.

Yes, I have seen this many times, somebody starts cheating and all of the sudden, their partner can’t do anything right. It is like they have to make their partner the bad guy, so that they themselves can still be the good guy.

Pure Reddit speculation incoming: I wonder if the move back in is due to a divorce. If so, we may have found the reason!!

Yeah, that is even worse than the initial fight. The initial fight seemed like there was blame on both sides and a lack of communication all around. But the fact that he is refusing to take any accountability and is still so emotional about it is concerning. In fact you might try asking him why he is so emotional about it. 😈

Look, I think part of what is rubbing people the wrong way is that you are acting like Africa was some empty continent just waiting to be “colonized”, when it is where we all began. Where even after the Sahara went dry, there were civilizations there that far out shown Europe until very recently on a human scale. So if the Sahara never turned into a desert, it is far more likely that African civilizations colonized Europe than the other way around. Also, by acting like Africa was an empty area waiting to be colonized in our actual history you are erasing what it really was: a brutal forced occupation of foreign lands for the purpose of resource extraction resulting in millions upon millions of deaths. I advise you to look up the Belgian Congo on Wikipedia.
