This. Don’t ever let anyone ever convince you that you’re an NPC in your life. You may not be someone else’s main character, but that’s okay. You are yours.

~Believe me when I say there is nothing more debilitating than losing your sense of self in your life.~

Michael Vick better start sweating.

So if working from home. Isolation sucks.

I mean Jake did land himself a Dabo girl at what, 16?

I can’t think of everything! 😂

In case you in fact do not know how to write a resignation letter, let me help demonstrate using a standard way, and a fancy way:

standard

I quit.

fancy

Dear <Manager Name>,

I quit.

Sincerely,

<Your Name>

~It should be noted that <Manager Name> and <Your Name> are placeholders that you would replace with the name of your manager and the name they put on your paycheck under “Pay to the order of” field, respectively.~

At first, not likely. But if you take the time and spend the effort to genuinely get to know your partner (on that intimate level), then yes you can learn their tells. It also takes a lot of open and honest communication, which means sometimes you or they may hear things that are not flattering. But that should be okay and encouraged, because as with anything else in life, it’s through failure that you learn and grow and get better.

It’s a trade off. It’s not easy either. Even when I was married and had a partner that could tag in and help me out. It’s much harder now that I’m single and I no longer have backup. It’s not like there’s an instruction manual either; each kid/situation is distinct and different.

But you know what, there are moments (more often than not) when they do or say something amazing, and it feels like the world is not such a bad place after all; because of them.

It’s not perfect. We sometimes get mad at each other. But that’s any relationship; it’s love. And I wouldn’t trade it for any amount of money in the world.

Given the rate of inflation, and shrinkflation, I don’t think it’s economically feasible for many people to survive on 65% of their income. At least, I couldn’t. Especially not with two young boys who need clothing, a metric ton of food (and growing!), plus sports, etc. nope. I’m stuck n indentured servitude for the rest of my life.

Personally, and take this with a grain of salt, I feel like you’re overthinking it. Everything at some level is just an abstraction of something else. So what. Dimensional exist whether you acknowledge them or not. 🤷‍♂️

And I guarantee some organization will figure out how to use this for some police state bullshit.

Me too, puppy. Me too.

…they got one of the other Borg drones and had him kneel…

That certainly explains the look on Picard’s face. 😮

Exercise barely burns any calories compared to the calories burned through your daily activities, like breathing, moving around, etc.

Think Mark, think! If you need on average 2k calories to maintain your current weight, that means your body is already burning 2k calories a day for you doing nothing extra like working out.

What working out really helps with (aside of “increasing strength”) is to keep your body in motion and flexible. When your body is in motion it will ramp up your metabolism throughout the day (comparatively to a sedentary lifestyle).

Also, you have a default level of strength that does not need exercise to maintain. So if I can lift a 40lb bag of dog food with ease, then I can keep doing that regardless of I work out. Now, factor in that if my job was to load and unload 40lb bags of dog food every day, I’d probably get stronger just because my job is my exercise.

Sorry for the rambling, but my point is that there is so much more to being fit and healthy than simply exercising (and I imagine super heroes do all those other things too by way of their “job”).

Also space and peace of mind. Sewing machines aren’t the largest of machines, but they do require a dedicated space, and can be somewhat noisy.

IE6, is that you?

The shell is strong, and the legs are marching

🤣 wut?

But yes, these make great passwords!

It absolutely gets under my skin when passwords systems disallow valid characters for passwords. Fuck, even Unicode and emojis are valid characters, and would still hash to the same fixed length even if the password were 1000 characters long.

Okay, so who are these two seriously?
