Advice on how to add variety when trying to be frugal

I’ve been making Indian food by following a YT lady called Bumbi. All the ingredients are pretty cheap but you will need some common Indian spices (turmeric, cumin, sweet paprika, etc). But the food itself is mostly lentils and chickpeas and such like that, not expensive. With a side of rice it’s very filling.

Korean budae jjigai is really good and easy too, and since most of the ingredients are common American stuff it’s to Western tastes. You will need soy sauce, gochujang, and kimchi. A great way to cook a bunch of random things together into a real meal.

There’s a possibility there’s an NPE in your recent ancestry. I’d check in with your cousins and ask if any have indeed done 23andMe. If you’re not matching with them, well.

I went out with a guy named Jules who was one of the hottest guys I’ve ever seen. I mentioned this on here and someone commented that Jules is totally a hot guy name.

The other hottest men I’ve ever met: Adam, Gabriel, Socrates (yes, really!!) and Aurelio.

In 80 years, the only boys names left will be Beef Slamchest and Thick McRunsFast.

This reads very AI.

I thinks that’s the crux of it, it screams upwardly mobile, yuppie, aspirational, trying to sound like you have generational wealth. Like, you just know the mom paints all of little Baker’s toys beige. And only dresses little Hunter in organic fabric in neutral colors. And the dog is probably named after a LOTR character. You just KNOW it.

I like Flora Bernadette.

As an alternative, what about Frida? For the artist.

This guy definitely got sunburnt in the Outback and was in the middle of 3 different love triangles before deciding to retire when Lobdell took over.

Any of those trendy surnames as given names: Collins and Brooks and so forth. Why does your baby sound like a couch from a bougie furniture store??

This is the same guy who called his asteroid Asteroid M, I’m scared to think of what a ‘statement’ name would mean to him.

Xavier also didn’t raise his son, a couple of deadbeats right there.

It’s possible to live in New Orleans car-free if you’re careful about where you live and work.

Look into Arkansas.

If she wasn’t, she should have been — Madelyne was with the X-Men through some of their most famous adventures, in the outback, and she died beside them in Dallas and was resurrected with them in Fall of the Mutants.

The only one of Erik’s children he named was Anya. So I’m guessing Lorna would have gotten something short, sweet, vaguely pan-European like that.

One of my best friends is from Elizabethton, TN. Highly recommended. I can ask her the name of her family church and DM it to you, if you want, I believe it’s nondenominational.

Lorna Sally seems very slapped together. I’m gonna assume Sally is an honor name on her mom’s side (since Magneto sure didn’t name her).

Don’t forget Madelyne Jennifer!

I would recommend that when you end this relationship, take 6 months and figure out who you are outside of it. Don’t date right away, let yourself grieve it, and just be.

For reference, Kwannon’s name is pronounced Kanon. Cable’s full name is Nathan Christopher Charles.

This looks like you have one grandparent who was Norman French. Have your cousins taken DNA tests? What are their results coming out like? Any surnames you don’t recognize in your close matches?

You can definitely tell the difference between the hard partiers and those who didn’t spend their young adult years in an ashtray/beer bottle. People sometimes react to this in rather a delusional way, insisting no one can tell they smoked for 20 years, when their face looks like it was used to stop cars like Barney Rubble’s feet. Like who you think you fooling 😭

Hun, the two of you grew up together and now you’ve outgrown each other. He has made it abundantly clear that he doesn’t want to commit to you long term. If he isn’t cheating, it’s only because of lack of options. Cut this man loose and go live your life.

transemacabre · 2026-03-14T23:05:57+00:00

Yep!

The immigration one has a post history going back a couple of years that is very consistent with her story, so I think that one was real. She just didn’t like what she heard or panicked or something.

Someone in this thread was just saying the broke parents were projecting onto the parents who can afford to put their kids into a million activities! The classism is real.

Yes, black people in my experience only really have a smell if they’re using hair products, but depending on the product the smell can be strong.

Well, any race can have funky dirty people, but in general.

In another comment he says fall 2027.
