I am a modern hobbit. I think that covers it.

And our nickname for it at work is job security. Because it's so awful that every time it fucks up, it makes us look more valuable

I've seen one version of this I envied. A farm was up on a ridge already when they built the highway. So they got a custom on ramp to it (both directions an option), but the house and main property were way above the highway and away from noise. Basically middle of nowhere until they wanted to go somewhere

I was in my 30s for it and it was amazing

Seriously what my household wants to do when we get enough money to set ourselves up nice. Get restaurant dishes that will last forever and set everything up with the practicality of a commercial kitchen

I don't think people realize how much time and money it takes, and I live in a super sane and reasonable place where it's "easy"

I had a coworker basically get this from our old boss after he got fired. We absolutely had the digital version of this with our team seeing the screenshots while we roasted that asshole

If all you have is emotional blackmail to keep yourself alive, use it. I eventually got access to help and I'm so glad I just stayed the fuck alive

We had equation sheets every night. 100 each side. For some reason I started to hate math

They remind me of my grandma with an abusive childhood who never got therapy. Her whole family is in therapy because of her. Process your trauma in a healthy easy or you'll become the monster who hurt you

Nope that's common. It's scary how many native English speakers in the US, with no other language they speak, still don't really have a decent grasp of English. Basic literacy is getting harder to find, and it's common for immigrants to pick it up faster as a second or third language. Knew siblings in high school, one grew up overseas and knew 6 languages. Little brother grew up in the US and barely knew one.

Truth. I'm 37 and my Gen z coworkers have fucking carded me bc they didn't believe I was over 25. Between being a millennial whose grandma has skin cancer (dipped in sunscreen constantly) and hrt, I really don't look like I'm pushing 40

I'm pretty sure Republicans think about my junk more than I do and it's fucking weird

It really does, and it's outright privilege because someone can form an opinion of you outside of your trans -ness and the baggage they bring to it

Really depends on where in oregon. A lot of it is just desert and maga

My mom craved seafood she hated but couldn't not with me. I'm obsessed with it of course

The biggest problem I see is gymnastics. It's basically impossible for men to do women's gymnastics and the other way around. You have to be totally minmaxed out on stereotypical gender traits to do well. You'd need to separate that from like, shooting and skiing which shouldn't be gender based. I'm a trans dude and the muscle mass is real. Women have to work 10x harder for the same mass men get sitting around so maybe weightlifting should be in categories unless the data shows women could win

They'd really need to look at numbers. I'm a trans dude and the muscle mass is real. Equestrian? Shooting? Skiing? Totally fine. Running and lifting? Ehhhh... Gymnastics? Total rework of the sport would be needed.

Yeah gymnastics would need to be totally reworked. I've seen bits for fun where male and female gymnasts tried the other way around and all failed horribly. It min maxes on gender differences. Tall sturdy women don't do well at women's gymnastics even. I'm a trans dude and failed horribly at girl's 20 years before I transitioned. Bones were too thick basically

Can confirm they're very stupid. I've had one get trapped in my cat's outdoor run before and it was pissed I freed it from the netting it dove through to get at a songbird

Yeah, some immigrants are problematic, but it's because they're billionaires

For me it was shellfish and related seafood. My mom hates oysters and couldn't get enough during pregnancy. I got a look every time I'd try one of those foods as a kid and get obsessed

Should.... Should they try this? Just give him a bullshit award he can't pass up receiving in person and then just start arresting war criminals?

Knowing the catalogs I've seen queen of the nights in, they likely do taste good. Colorful tomatoes often have great flavor genes too (tomato obsessed gardener)

I do that kinda stuff but the bugs here aren't really that big of a deal unless you pick the absolutely wrong spot (like there's a wasp nest entrance literally right there or you see sand fleas everywhere)

That's something that's always confused me. I got access to porn pretty young, but understood it was fake just like I understood Disney movies were fake. I didn't expect lions to break out into song and I didn't think porn sex was real sex

That explains me. Brown hair, hazel eyes, and I've got the Ozzy Osbourne tolerance. Grandma is ginger AF though and that hillbilly blood is strong shit

Yeah def not an extraordinary claim. They'd be honestly stupid to not do that. Can't catch em all etc

Gotta say, most people haven't had good, FRESH Turkish delight. Everyone I've talked to who hates it basically had prepackaged old stuff. It's like hating bread because you've only had it stale. I didn't have real stuff until a Turkish cafe opened in my town and they make their own and ship their pastries in frozen from Istanbul. It's good AF. Soft and chewy but light

Here everyone points and laughs. It's really an effect when when little kids are doing it

I was at a place playing the game and heard it. Pretty good music (not great with Spanish but that's on me), really cool looking show. I'm out of touch with what's cool, so I'd never heard of him, but the whole thing was very much a celebration of bringing people together. Imo it's what America should be. I live in a town that's a huge fresh mix of old white conservative farm folks, young queer folks, and newer immigrants and it's really wonderful
