Just like many Russian accidents, those undersea cables just fell out of windows.

“One more thing, I almost forgot… My wife tells me my memory is so bad, she’s surprised I remember the route to work, I’ll tell you. But this one loose end just keeps bothering me–how exactly is the US defending democracy by interfering in free, open elections? Anyway I’ll leave you to it, have a lovely night.”

Parenti reminds me of a communist Columbo.

If you’re totally uninterested, independently of potential awkwardness, I’d basically explain as much. “I think you’re cool and we have a lot in common, but I’ve been thinking and realized I might not be comfortable with the age difference and potentially changing the group dynamic.”

If it’s purely the potential external consequences that have you ready to cut off the possibility, and you could actually see yourself in a relationship with them, I’d say you could mention that concern, but don’t let it make the decision for you. Sounds like this is someone likely to understand social anxiety and who also values the group dynamic, so I doubt they’d react super negatively to mentioning that you want to be careful about that and preserve it while seeing if there’s more there between the two of you.

I don’t want to kill my dad or fuck my mom…

I was curious why you felt that way, not saying you were wrong. It was an interesting reaction to the headline, so I was looking to discuss/understand it, not debate.

Fair enough, but that’s such a minor difference that I can’t imagine caring about it if I, personally, were the subject. I am definitely not calling any/everyone who feels differently ego-centric, but ego is the only reason I specifically could imagine being offended by that. Not looking to start a debate over TMZ at all haha, was just wondering if there were particular issues folks had with it that I wasn’t thinking of.

Why? I’m my wife’s husband as much as I am anything else, and plenty of people refer to folks as “John’s friend” or “Erin’s husband” to identify them in context.

Also, would you have known who this was if they didn’t? Some would for sure, but a lot of people who care about his films still might not have put the pieces together without Aubrey Plaza’s name in there, so I don’t see the issue.

!noncredibledefense?

Guy went to a McDonald’s, was apparently acting suspicious, and had everything on him that the police had reported about (silencer, fake NJ ID). Feels like someone took the “steal his look” memes seriously and may want credit.

Literally anytime CEOs, billionaires, or landlords come up. And not like euphemistic “eat the rich” type statements, tankie shit about literally murdering landowners (but also about how Tianemen Square was ok/just US propaganda, Russia has a right to Ukraine, and the CCP is truly progressive and respects human rights).

Lemme.ml: Where you can call for murder and warfare against meat eaters and landlords, but don’t even think about saying a no-no word, mister!

Edit: funny how all the negative comments flood in at once, almost like folks clocked in for work.

Much like unpaid internships, this is also a method to prevent anyone who is not independently wealthy from applying, so they can fill the department with the same people already benefiting from the current system and allow them to design one that benefits them even further.

No one that this department is ostensibly built to serve can afford to work on it, so who is it really (clearly) for?

Pomegranate pips work well in most salty dishes, roasted apple is great with a strong, soft cheese.

Images stitched together in order capture the amount of time that passed, yeah. They’re just not from the right years for that.

Yes, trust AI, that’s what Ryan Gosling looked like 14 years ago.

Going to a legit optometrist that either cuts their own lenses or tells you where to get good ones rather than trying to find the cheapest option online is probably the biggest thing. They tend to recommend or automatically go for the other top tips, like avoiding any coating that will ripple/peel/fade over time, using high-index materials for high prescriptions (expensive, but drastically reduced the necessary thickness and curvature + distortion of the crystal), and spacing the lens centers to your personal measurements.

Shit in, shit out. But at least I know when to blame the producers this way!

Same exact situation here (incredibly luckily), so I guess I mean “support” not in the sense that my wife isn’t excited for me when I find something worth getting, but more that I wish her excitement came from a similar place as mine, a selfish excitement to use whatever is on the way herself, rather than a much sweeter excitement about me being excited lol. And excellent meme, wil certainlyl be sending it along.

I disagree personally. I don’t think they need to be side by side to appreciate the difference, so long as you’ve ever experienced both. I miss the things that I know I’d get with better speakers when I listen on a different setup, and I still enjoy the experience, but it doesn’t move me as deeply when I feel something missing. And I don’t think it’s (all/entirely) placebo. A subwoofer that reaches 10hz lower, moves more air, and fires faster gives you a lot more to hear/feel/appreciate, and to me really changes my physical and emotional reaction to music.
