My dad tried this same trick and wanted to influence my relationship with my mom (who had an affair). I told him I understand his feelings but that he could never talk that way to me again or I would cut him out of my life immediately. This is my mom you’re talking about.

I can’t have other folks then myself decide who I interact with. It’s not like I’m taking sides or feel great about her actions, but I wasn’t gonna stop seeing her because it hurts someone else.

I never was that direct with my parents before, but it felt like if that line would be crossed it would all come crumbling down.

man… vibes :) made me think of mine from the late 90’s!

All three of my pixels had it. Maybe it’s a region thing?

We have a winner!!

(this is satire:)

Well, you know what they say! If its bad, it’s still Biden fault because the Republicans inherited a economy in shambles. If its good, this was the plan al along. Heil Trump.

I went baggy back in the 00s and I’m NEVER going back. ‘Straight cut’ is as baggy as I’ll wear em. Love those baggy pants on my SO though 😍

I write down the date of opening with permanent marker on stuff like this now, no more weird guess work!

Thanks but no thanks!

I’ll take Joplin instead! It’s FOSS!

The Holy Roman Empire emerged centuries after the fall of the Western Roman Empire and had little direct institutional or cultural continuity with classical Rome. The “Roman” aspect was more of an ideological concept and an attempt to invoke the prestige of the Roman legacy and the idea of a unified Christian empire in the West. So despite the name it was fundamentally a different entity from the ancient Roman Empire.

That’s gonna be a long and frustrating road of bans before they nip it in the bud. I don’t know if there are other games popular over there, but gamblers are gonna gamble, they’ll make up a game especially for it if they have to!

Yeah, just cum on the inside, problem solved.

The dumb cycle rolls on. Let’s hope humanity can break it some day.

Where there’s a will, there’s a toupee . I am blessed with a full, thick, luscious dark blonde coupe, but everyone around being so negative about hairpieces made me think about them a lot… Following that, I have come to peace with the fact that I might go bald, and I might not like it, and rando hairpiece-haters around me won’t stop me from going all 18th century on my new hairpiece.

My first own house was in the middle of a lot of cultures that are different from my own, and man did those folks LOVE changing their hair every few days, with pieces or otherwise. Every second shop was selling surrogate hair, and it looked very cool. I think that part of those cultures is fucking rad, and it inspired me to pre-emptively accept my own future toupee, if it ever comes to that.

Awwww, it doesn’t even say “This is the year of the Linux desktop!”

With great sacrifice, comes great responsibility…

In dutch they say: “Hunger makes raw beans taste sweet”!

when packing up after windsurfing, they would advise against taking your trapeze off (a huge belly belt that can connect you to the sail, handsfree!) before you had access too food, because more often then not, it would unleash the hunger beast within. It was fun to have that power over your own hunger! GIMME THOSE SWEET BEANS!

I have a similar (writing skill) story to yours but no diagnoses. I just assumed my hand was the wrong shape and didn’t fit the norm that lets you write in the taught and most used form. My hand is too… .scrunched up… when using a pen, to many finger tips on the pen itself.

I see some folks around me with autism diagnoses that have extra difficulty with small motor function, and that often includes below-par handwriting. If that kind of stuff has been hard for you too (like having difficulty with cutlery or scissors), it might be part of the same pattern. If not, you might just have been unlucky when they were handing out hands ;-)

Friend of mine once found a frozen-over cd of “Shaggy - Wasn’t Me” in his backyard, and after cleaned and thawed, it worked no problem. I guess someone really hated that single?
