When I was 14 I got a cat. The first day, he disappeared somewhere inside of the house and I couldn’t find him. I figured he was just hiding in a cozy spot. The next morning, I woke up to a dead bat at the foot of my bed. I can only guess that he had found his way into the attic crawl space and brought a fresh kill for me to enjoy.
Yinz is all you need.
In 2nd grade the teacher had to step out of the room for several minutes and put me in charge. If anyone misbehaved, I was to write their name on the chalkboard. One group of boys did misbehave, so I wrote down their names.
When the teacher returner, she scolded me for “being a snitch” and sent me to the principal’s office.
Tbh that’s a really cute name.
That was an incredibly interesting read. Do you know of any other planned mega structures like that?
Adding onto this, it was totally free and you could just endlessly scroll through profiles, read them, look at their answers to questions, etc. No need to say “yes” or “no” to each profile judt to see the next one. And if you answered all of the personality questions (there were hundreds if not thousands) you were invited to become a site mod, which I did.
Yeah the OG OKCupid was incredible. Then it was bought out and became another swiping app.
Half of my job is now done with AI, mostly PowerShell scripting and creating PowerPoints / reports. I just play videogames or cook or clean for half of the workday now.
The older I get, the longer hangovers last. I’ve gotten pretty good at squashing them. The secret is to take a multivitamin plus b-12 and iron before bed, along with plenty of water and electrolytes. If I still feel off in the morning, a fruit smoothie with kale sets me straight.
I’m not the guy you’re responding to, but if you want a really interesting take on sci-fi mixed with medieval fantasy then check our Jaran by Kate Elliott.
It’s been entirely too long since I read those books!
I didn’t think me and the other guy were arguing, though. There were no bad feelings.
I think our definition of “pick me girl” is different which is why we’re not seeing eye-to-eye.
The article does not say that the actress felt that Meredith was a “pick me girl”. It highlighted one specific scene that she felt was cringe, but fans of the show loved.
I’ve been binging Grey’s (currently on the Covid season) and wouldn’t consider Mer to be a “pick me girl”. Especially after Derek, she has focused on her career and family and only has occasional flings. Her self esteem doesn’t come from any sort of external validation.
A quote from this season about Mer sums it up well: You’ve always been your own person. A force of nature. You’ve never needed anyone but you.
Four year relationship with a guy. At 1.5 years I found out he was cheating, and he convinced me to stay. A few years later he lost his job, never got unemployment payments, made no attempt to find a job, let me pay for everything while he smoked weed and played videogames for a year. I worked 70 hour weeks to pay our bills. He crashed my car one night by going for a midnight munchies run while stoned.
Even after all that I was willing to stay. But a few months after he got a job, I found out that he had been cheating almost every day while I was at work. I got an STD from his infidelity. This was the point I decided to leave.
Tried to leave and he hit me and physically restrained me from leaving the house. It took around 6 months to safely get out of the relationship. He stole my (new) car on his way out and tried to steal my dog.
Nope, luckily he was totally fine. He lived to be 20 years old!
