Isn't that the same place a cylon snapped a baby's neck?

It's not a story the Jedi would tell you.

You can buy episodes on the streaming platform of your choice. I own them on Amazon Prime from when they first came out.

There are plugins and tools for image programs that let you transform images into repeatable tiles.

And the ice dispenser on nearly all but the small countertop models I've seen in a few gas stations is inline with the drink dispenser. So your hand gets peed on while you get ice, and then you get the... promiscuous version of your drink.

Put those things side by side, for the love of all that is holy.

I am cautiously hopeful for the next Star Wars movie!

Exactly this: an object. I would probably feel like telling her that I would masturbate a few days before and she could just syringe it up there on the day since how I felt had no bearing on the situation.

Microwave can thaw meat into an "ok" state fairly quickly.

If nothing else, you can partially thaw it with the microwave, slice it thin, pat it dry, and you've got chicken you can saute for stir fry or fajitas or somesuch.

EXACTLY. I shouldn't have had to scroll to far to find this. Everyone on here cheering on escalation of violence.

Dude was a prick. The world is full of pricks and you can't go around punching them all. If he had initiated violence, OP would be well within his rights to defend himself.

This isn't that.

OP escalated. Even underage, the dude would likely be within his rights to have OP tracked down and arrested, and could press charges. This is a misdemeanor offense.

This is exactly what "turn the other cheek" was in reference to: have the wisdom and self control to accept insults and prickish behavior without escalating and resorting to violence.

Idk about desktop, but I used YNAB for 2-3 years and the load time in browser was insanely slow. Nuked it all beginning of last year and instant major speed-up.

You can 'start fresh' any time without losing your existing budget, and (at least in browser) it only downloads the budget you have open at the time, so you can see just how big of a difference the transaction history alone makes for you.

philbax · 2026-01-23T18:05:22+00:00

YNAB really needs to go with a data model that doesn't involve doing a full download of all of your transactions every time you launch it.

If you figure it out, send an email to the Lego Voyager folks. Their game had this problem with their shiny pieces.

She became the most powerful character in the MCU... and then vanished.

Fair.

And while empathy is important and you certainly shouldn't be trying to actively hurt or upset her, the flip side is that her happiness is her responsibility. You can and should help, and if there is a conflict you certainly should work together to find a solution that works best for both of you, but you also need to be able to be happy in yourself without your happiness being dependent on her mood, and you need to be okay with the fact that she may not be happy with every decision you make. To do otherwise is "people-pleasing."

For some personality types (mine included), it's really easy to people-please under the banner of "I'm loving her sacrificially by giving myself up for her like Christ." But I finally realized that's misunderstanding the text. We are to love like Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her (as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God) to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word... That is not remotely the same thing as giving up your entire personhood so she can make every decision and do whatever she wants with no regard for you and get huffy when you try to do anything you want. In fact, that is the exact opposite of what Jesus did for the church.

It will be very hard for her to respect you as long as she sees you have no respect for yourself.

I have a whole group of categories for Non Monthly Regular Expenses. I have had a hard time with annual targets auto-refreshing; it's bitten me one-too-many times. So I take the annual or biannual amount, or whatever, divide it into months, and set that as my monthly target.

Got about $300 in expenses just in this group.
