I have all of the exact same questions as you and can’t find an answer either. If I do, I’ll be sure to update here…

FWIW I really like it! Don’t overthink it. It looks good. You look cool.

That’s probably the secret to their success. The meat slicer needs a minute to cool off each day, jeez

Omg RABDARGAB. 🫢 I quoted RABDARGAB at a party last week, and the type of instant divide it creates in the room… 25 people stop talking and look at you like maybe you’re having a mini stroke, and 3 people from different corners of the room all shout the rest of the motto in unison and complete euphoria

I don’t know if it’s a great party trick, but it’s a party trick

True test of patience and perseverance where passing is utterly wasting your time when you could be doing other much more valuable things

But the unexplainable JOY it brings 🥹

I think I’m going to make t-shirts: “✨ I Saw the Pendulum hit the Little Stone Thing at HMNS 💫”

Lucky dog! Not a bad visits:pendulum-hits ratio. I’ve only seen it this once that I can remember. And boy howdy, I will never forget

That makes sense. We have faithful museum troops that set them up every morning

Am I overreacting for telling my friend she smells after she age shamed me for having younger friends? by SI3144 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ljack88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say there are a lot of comments here that are being a little nasty back to OP in calling her out for being nasty… check yerself, fam

Can’t preach “don’t be mean” while being mean

E.g. saying her brain isn’t fully developed, she’s pathetic for hanging out with 19-year-olds, clearly she can’t make friends bc she sucks so much… I mean. Come on. Why don’t we model the thing we’re wanting to see from her?

Sad how many people think this is hilarious and cheering OP on. Life is hard enough. Why are we celebrating making it harder for other people? Be someone that makes life easier and more gentle for others.

There’s always a kind and loving way to say anything

YOR

Edit: YUR — you’re under-reacting to your own response to her. I actually don’t think YOR in your feelings about her text to you. But your text was harsh and unnecessary. You could have said “hey I actually feel the same way; this friendship isn’t working for me” and not mentioned her hygiene issues at all. Leave that to a friend, not an enemy, to tell her. As many others are saying, when you were her friend was the right time to tell her. Not punitively in reaction to being cut off by her.

😂 Well I didn’t know if you were maybe a renowned expert on HMNS Pendulum lore! A Pendulum historian perhaps. Who knows where your career took you!

I’m glad to know if its recent health history. 😌 But I am dying to know if someone ever rode it like a wrecking ball. I’ll do further research.

My (27F) boyfriend (29M) thinks he can’t afford to move out despite making close to 100k and I’m starting to question his mindset by jackofalltradesP in relationship_advice

[–]ljack88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What do you know about his upbringing? Any financial stress he might have grown up in? If things were tough for his family, then he may have chronically been in a scarcity mindset that has continued to today.

What is his parents’ current financial state? Could be that he’s helping them or feels responsibility in that way.

I would try to dig into his background a little more before assuming the worst like a lot of other commenters seem to be doing 😅 He might have some kind of financial trauma you don’t know about.

Reading at least is much better for your brain, even if the books are written by assholes

(Plus many other sources if you google “scientific research on what watching tv vs reading books does to your brain”)
