If you can’t taste the flavor of mayonnaise you might be the one with the unsophisticated palate. You’re welcome to say you don’t like it, or that it doesn’t have a good or intense enough flavor, but not being able to discern its flavor at all is a you thing.

Can’t tell if you’re joking, but you have to. The doctor prescribes it, and it cleans everything out of your system. By the end, you’re just crapping out the lemon drink itself and you’re squeaky clean for the camera

I love second hand therapy!! I’ve gotten it from aunts, sisters, my grandmother, my friends. Heck I’ve benefited from third hand therapy! My first hand always works best, of course, but keep on sharing what you’re learning! Best case, you help a buddy, worst case your buddy learns something about you!

I hear you, but cancelling 1/4 of your streaming services with the knowledge that can be reversed easily at any time is hardly the same as protesting or boycotting something tangible or an entire industry. I don’t think this has anything to do with celebrity worship, and it has everything to do with how easy the protesting can be.

This protest could be done from home in three minutes, you don’t suffer the consequences until the end of the month, and we all know less TV is better for us regardless of speech so there’s very little downside.

I agree Americans aren’t doing enough. I wish we were doing more.

Maybe try aspartame instead of sugar?

They’re doing a job of removing the bread already - huge benefit cuts from the most vulnerable among us

Thank you for sharing this! A good read.

Yeah how do you even know when someone has blocked you?

We did the audiobooks of the expanse and loved them!

I’d give up my just cousin for free if he’d gone on Jan 6.

That’s nuts, you’ve never heard anyone tease about green chat bubbles? Never heard the joke “I don’t talk to poor people”? Didn’t see all that stuff blow up extra when the air pods came out?

Idk about op but the vast vast majority of my voting decisions are local. It’s a bit easier to call the local guys good. Voting is about so much more than the president or governor

It’s the fluoride!

My husband has to drive to different sites every day. He clocks in when he starts his car, and starts getting paid either an hour later or the minute he gets to the job site, whichever is sooner. So if they schedule him more than an hour from home, he gets paid for that extra drive time, which is nice. First hour is just expected commute.

From me and my husband’s family, 5/6 kids (late millennials and gen z) have absolutely fallen back on moving back in with Mom and Dad in order to made things work. Probably one of those could have made it work otherwise, and the one that didn’t have help lives in a tiny house. We’ve all been working the whole time, it’s just between crazy rent hikes, health issues, and hurricanes it just hasn’t been realistic to thrive (or in some of our cases thrive) without help. There’s no social safety net.

Most of my friends (we’re in our 30s) really want to start families and genuinely just can’t afford to. We couldn’t if we weren’t receiving support from family. Childcare is just prohibitively expensive (especially on top of rent and insurance).

Wait so why didn’t you just pick beer?

EDIT: I’ve just learned I was incorrect in my original comment below. Bars, taverns, nightclubs etc are included in third spaces according to Wikipedia. I guess I learned an alt definition at some point, or perhaps just a wrong definition.

The definition of a third place is that you can spend time there without the expectation of buying something. If you’re expected to spend money to occupy space, it’s not a third place.

(Fully agree that the loss of such spaces is killing us, though!)

I get cravings for crackers when I cut down on carbs and I crave panda Express when it’s been a while. Guess I’m addicted to starch and crappy orange chicken

Yeah and also the “civilization” women destroy is purely the put men first civilization - the only civilization they’re interested in

He’s in some movie peanut butter falcon or something. It was good
