Yeah stuffed crust is almost as bad as adding pineapple. It’s definitely a terrible texture.

My little adjustments are a spindrift mocktail and I really love leftover pizza. Something about it warmed up and all melty and chewy.

Maybe $300 in total.

I end up taking half days off or working slightly later to offset leaving earlier on some days.

I was this kid. Our household was a little free range (lots of booze and rolled up dollar bills, not a lot of food and often no electricity). I had lice a few times, and we also had some food insecurity, but I honestly have almost no memory of it. So I stole food and I was stinky. Being ostracized, I made up friends to talk to as a coping mechanism. I guess those were my crimes.

Truly lost count. Not that many. A handful in my twenties but I’m not positive of the exact number. They were either not that memorable one time things, or 2-3 year relationships.

I don’t really. My career gives me purpose which makes it fade temporarily while I’m busy or tired… Some days I just couch rot to build up my energy to be purposeful and lessen the awareness of it. It feels like accepting it and working with it is more realistic for me.

Really it all started when the chipmunk made it into the particle collider.

Almost never… animated stuff doesn’t draw me in the way it used to. I kinda wish it did. But it also feels like it isn’t for me. Oddly, I did watch fluffy paradise from beginning to end in a single sitting. But that was the first in a few years.

One of my job requirements is that I spend several hours a year learning and my job pays me to do so (industry standard).

Epsom salts! …j/k :p

Sometimes being lonely hits like a truck. But it passes like grief that’s a few years old. Everything else is okayish. Have overcome the major life hurdles. Can’t complain.

Construction? But I think the hours are long. Maybe some community college apprenticeships programs depending on where you live.

Didn’t know they were banned. Just thought they didn’t do them here because the roads are so full of potholes that never get fixed. TIL.

A lot of people post poor relationships in these places. I am not sure if all of them are real, but the real ones are certainly looking for help and not able to speak to the people around them for whatever reason. In the end we don’t owe anyone a relationship, even a familial one. “Give them a chance, they just made a mistake don’t throw your whole relationship away over (infidelity, abuse, etc), but they’re family” are pretty common and annoying because they make people stay in situations where they are clearly unhappy and are potentially being harmed. If people want to leave, there is no shame in that. It’s annoying on the internet because there is certainly a large amount of bot posts mixed in with real people who need help. Or people who describe horrible abuse and then defend their abusers…feels like rage bait.

I am an expert in my field. Because I devote all my time and brain to being so. I am average to terrible at everything else. So many of us like to think otherwise. I don’t get why. I’m tired at the end of the day and I just wanna be bad at shit lol. Ego?

That 46 year old is in decline, and that 25 year old is in their prime. They will likely have baggage, medical issues, and assorted hangups they may want to impose on the younger partner. They are possibly seeking a younger individual for predatory reasons such as someone young to have biological offspring with, that will put up with a variety of neglects, and will take care of them in the looming decades as they become more frail. All in all, a good time as consenting adults is whatever. But as a relationship? Do not recommend. You’ll be a nurse sooner than you think.

I see you’ve got the standard warthogs handling experience.

I like talking to real people. To me that’s a benefit.

Reddit also feels like it’s gotten less friendly to me as a woman. That’s just been my personal feeling.

“Roflmao” :(
