Drink less? It's optional. If it causes you issues, just don't.
Doing pretty good atm, so probably take my person out for dinner and drinks.
Raised Catholic, and I definitely see organized religion through that lens. I see charismatic leaders manipulating followers. I see systems to keep people, especially women and children, subservient. I see followers giving up responsibility for their own actions and beliefs. Even if a religion doesn't start out that way, the way they organize makes them susceptible to the power-hungry who will corrupt it.
Am I extremely sceptical of organized religion? Yes, doubly so of people who seek positions of authority within organized religion.
Do I recognize some people who follow an organized religion are good and well-intentioned? Yes.
Do I call bullshit on the people who think the only way to be a good person is by following an organized religion? Heck, yes.
Interesting. I very much want to know. A truck drifts into my lane to give the parked car more distance. Any driver doing anything unexpected when I'm on a motorcycle, extra vulnerable to everything.
The parked car itself isn't a safety issue, what happens because of it might be. Waze gives me an increased edge against other drivers' unpredictable reactions to the parked car.
Hot water isn't even that fancy anymore. My ~$30 Amazon bidet ties into both hot and cold taps. I just let it run slow enough to not hit my butt as I'm pooping, which is more than enough time to flush the tubes with warm water, then crank the pressure up to reach my ass with a warm spray. No icy shock needed.
No electricity needed, purely pressure from the water lines and a mechanical valve.
Learning curve to start, possibly above average messes on occasion? It took all of three days to get the hang of mine. The TP is just to dry, it never comes back dirty anymore unless I am having serious distress.
ChatGPT prompt:
Write an obituary for Trump in the style of a Trump speech.
Alien Weaponry, New Zealand metal band comes first to mind. Lots of Maori influence, all three members have Maori ancestry.
That's 7up soda for me. It tastes like having a stomach bug.
A card or letter? Obvs is changes by location, but my local govt people can't even accept a cup of coffee.
I was too young for 2 girls 1 cup back in the day and fortunately had the good sense not to watch it. I think I will forever be too young for that one.
I would be regular vacuuming floors and furniture every day, laundering anything that I can, and putting things in the freezer that I can't launder. Plus making sure pets flea treatments are up to date. Cat bed gets deep cleaned.
Flea #2 sighted and I'm hunting for steam cleaner deals with your gf.
From my memory, the timing seemed to align with Facebook. Moving from anonymous chatrooms to proper Social Media with a/s/l information and more already populated.
Even worse though, she doesn't know any of the early memes. Hampster Dance, Badger Badger Badger, Peanut Butter Jelly Time, Leeeeroy Jenkins. Salad Fingers. How does a young, gothic lass get through her teen years without Salad Fingers?
Yeah, but hiring is a big series of assumptions. Resumes and interviews only give you so much confidence on how a person will actually do in the job.
Speaking for myself, I want to hire quickly. I get 10 resumes for 1 spot, I'm not going to agonize over whether the PhD is having a mid-life change and really wants the fast food job, or if they are going to split in a month, or hell, if they have some addiction or personal problem that prevents them from holding a job that matches their qualifications. If there's a candidate that meets the reqs and seems like a fit, I'm moving right along with them.
If the PhD is convincing in an interview that they're really just looking for a switch, sure, but I'm not going to waste a lot of time and energy waiting to be convinced when there are other candidates with a more expected profile also vying for the job.
My youngest sister doesn't know what that means. I think it might be one of those lines of demarcation between millennial and Z.
Doesn't this seem like an inefficient way to go about? Locked in a flying tin can with the same ~100 people for a few hours. I would think a public library or busy transit station would net way more info, with the added advantage of not being locked in if someone starts getting suspicious.
My mom was cooking some beef and brown sauce dish as I was reading a book with cannibalism at way too young an age. I associated that smell with eating human flesh for over a decade and would have to leave the house as it was cooking.
Sure. More qualifications means more pay will be expected. And if all that needs done is The Thing for $, no reason to pay $$$ for The Thing+++.
So do green and white. Green may even have more caffeine than black tea. I hope they're drinking caffeine-free herbal teas.
Coffee in the morning. Switching to working from home, I started drinking way too much coffee but I'm back down to one cup a day typically. More than the excessive caffeine, I started noticing my teeth getting more sensitive, which I think was due to having coffee sitting on the enamel so much more. So one cup, drink it within 30 min, then brush my teeth.
Bubbly water or tea the rest of the day if I feel like something other than water.
Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster's taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing.
The earliest desired media I can remember that drove me to figure out sailing was DC Talk, a Christian rock band. Pop music was not allowed in my house, so a Christian group was tantalizing and scandalous to a rebellious, young Vanth. Things escalated from there.
