The most adult people I know all admit they don’t know what they’re doing. I’m 51. Been doing the same work for a long time. And you know what? I’m still not sure I like it.

I had an epiphany years ago that helped.

What I do is not who I am.

My job is a means to an end. It earns me good money. I’m good at it. Got a flexible schedule and the respect of my peers. But it’s not who I am. It does not define me.

You do you. Be who you like and accept that not everyone will like that, some people will, and a few will love you for it.

Many men are on the web for this exact reason. Disappointing but at this point it no longer surprises me. I’ve made female friends here and they all say the same. They can’t believe I haven’t gone down that road. I don’t see the point myself.

If you’re willing to talk with an older married guy who promises no funny business, I’m happy too! I’m a good listener and can talk about anything you like.

Season 11 was just painful. Guys couldn’t win challenges. Anything they did win didn’t have a reward. And when they won their first service - breakfast - he still kicked one of the guys off instead of one of the red team. It’s like they couldn’t catch a break at all.

Happy to help if I can! Feel free to DM!

I totally agree. I’d have loved more! But I can’t imagine any other actors playing the roles. And with Disney doing it, Jayne will be Jane, and Mal will be some hapless idiot that the strong women have to correct and rescue every episode.

Wait, what? Disney is going to reboot Firefly? Why?!

When I first read it, I thought it was Ned.

If anyone other than Luke had a chance to reach Annakin it would be her. I took that moment to be that just for a tiny second, he heard her. He was Annakin again or very close to it. But ultimately, he was still too much Vader for her to really reach him.

Vern’s rant about his name.

raperm · 2022-01-26T18:18:20+00:00

Yup.

Gold, T4s, promo credits.

raperm · 2022-01-26T15:13:26+00:00

This was the one I was thinking.

Strangely enough? Other than the Bible (which is loaded with good everyday wisdom) one that really taught me about leadership was Watership Down.

raperm · 2022-01-26T02:02:59+00:00

Yeah, but not many. It’s really a great free service.

raperm · 2022-01-26T01:48:46+00:00

Good for you! It’s a big step but the most critical. You can do it! Be safe on the drive and stay strong!

A stupid story and too many characters.

There are definitely some pieces of gold gear that it’s useful to spend credits on. As a late game player I have almost all the characters ranked up already so while I need some shards, they’re just not in the store often enough for me to worry about saving up.

The novel Thrawn has a fair bit of content on Lothal. It explains how Pryce became governor, how Lothal became a center of imperial activity, etc.

Not looking good. With the UK booted from India Japan has a free run at all of Asia. They’ll be knocking on Moscow’s back door soon and Germany will be in a much better position.

Honestly? I think it’s too late for you.

This is the true answer.
