I can’t be the only one who can’t parse this sentence.

I’m sorry, can you rephrase this? I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.

In all seriousness, we all appreciate your work. These are the growing pains that are to be expected, and your hard work and transparency (and writing it up at a level that even I can understand) is welcome.

Is it the right time to say it, the right thing to say, am I the right person to say it, are they in the right frame of mind to hear it, and is it necessary?

That’s the gold standard of changing people’s behavior for the better, and I rarely hit it.

Spouses can have a little stupid, as a treat.

That if I reach out for help before things get bad, they don’t get as bad for as long, and that it makes people happy that I reached out.

I’m not a burden, I’m a person.

Neat! What do you plan to cook?

How to pronounce names in different cultures.

Is there a skincare community? Asking for me and my dumb face.

This is an animated site for teaching you how to tie different knots.

With a piece of string and perhaps a few wooden dowels, you can teach yourself a variety of useful knots for different needs.

The self- and contextual-awareness and communicative ability to express consent or lack of consent for engaging in any activity.

A lot of shame, regret, and anger could be avoided if all of us knew how to do that.

Turns out all these Mike Hunts are real bastards.

I don’t know how much a Not Interested designation does. I’ve done that for channels where I don’t want to see THAT video, but still like the channel in general.

What I do is just block the channel: if this is what the channel wants to espouse then I’ll do better by eliminate it entirely.

I’d argue that gaming and memes are much bigger contributors.

As this post was deliberately made to fuck with me, I’m going to move to Utah and marry all of them.

“Why, trying to figure out if we’re compatible?”

“How’s the job search coming?” is usually meant to be encouraging, but it can feel like a stab in the back if you read it as “still unemployed, huh?”

What can help is to approach this from a “seen any job opening that piques your interest?” view. Think of 2-3 positions, locations, etc., that you can talk about with some interest. Maybe you’ve never worked in that field, so you tell the person that you hadn’t considered it before and what might draw your interest, or there’s an opening in a city/place you’ve never been and you can talk about that. Most people aren’t looking for the spiel, so this satisfies them without embarrassing either of you.

This doubles as practicing interview questions (“why do you want this job?”) that you’ll need in the future, anyways.

Exactly. I don’t want or need to build another McDonalds or Starbucks; I just want to go to the Mom and Pop down the road without worrying if they’ll tank.

I have seen that part of that may be due to subreddits going from private to open, so you suddenly have comments again.

Sweet: Instant oatmeal - can add fruit, cinnamon, honey Fruit salad Smoothie - can hide a few greens in there, thicken with peanut butter, protein powder Frozen waffles - can add fruit

Savory: Toast/bagels - can use butter, peanut/nut butter, make a sandwich with deli meats Omelette - many options, cooks quickly Frozen hashbrowns and peppers and onions - can season, add spice

The perfect is the enemy of the good, and demanding a politico-savior will leave you wanting forever. Keeping your hands clean betrays your selfishness, not your commitment.

Violent revolution that results in a population moving left is so absurdly unlikely as to be dismissed, and any planning that depends on it mere daydream to salve frustration.

The liberal and the centrist who together elected a moderate in the face of a reactionary have done more to save you than all of your theory has done to save them.

And I wish none of that were true.
