Thank you so much! You have saved my inbox. It took me less than 1 minute to unsubscribe with your tip.

Shouldn’t it just be weight dependent then, or is that too complicated to communicate?

Wow, why such a discrepancy between men and women?

Twerking?

Employed by the country you live in…? Doesn’t sound like it. How are you not a digital nomad?

I’ve always been curious about this. Do you have more info/data?

Yes, but there’s also vodka involved haha do you live in mostly single-family suburbs?

Giving me Rugrats flashbacks. Remember the housewarming jello molds?

Over it, or all over it? Those mean opposite things bc English is wack.

Wow, do parents take shots at your door? This is not the Halloween I remember, but good on you.

“Making fun” isn’t quite right, but they were definitely being sarcastic. I think people throughout this thread are encouraging you to be less self-absorbed so that you can 1. Enjoy things around you without feeling like you’re being judged for it, and 2. Develop empathy for those you interact with.

I know it seems trite, but it’s important to realize that social interactions are way more fun if you pay attention to other people and are curious about them.

Exactly right. We spent hours and hours in a Ford van playing Pokemon red/yellow/blue in the 90s 😂

Like, the people who work to redo the high-end kitchens every couple of years, maintain the gardens, nanny the kids, and clean the toilets. Those normal people. Rich people are terrified of them.

Edit: “terrified” isn’t quite the right word. There’s definitely fear involved though.

Definitely look into European universities if you can afford the plane tickets. I wish I had as a young adult – I’ve heard great things about education quality as well as affordability.

Many states in the US are on an anti-abortion warpath. I live in North Carolina, which recently outlawed abortion after 12 weeks. I want to move elsewhere – I feel unsafe and uncared for.

Dunno bud, I’ve met and heard about a lot of rich people in my life (my partner builds high-end houses), and they’ve all been absolute assholes, though some more overly than others. I know exactly 2 nice rich people out of dozens.

My theory is two-fold: one, to get rich you probably screwed somebody else over, and two, once you get rich you feel an inherent need to protect your resources without ever actually feeling satisfied (gated communities, voting for your own self-interest, suspicion towards normal people).

I do think that having large sums of money almost always lead toward personal corruption, and I wish we all just had enough resources and societal support to be healthy and happy.

Very excellent. My partner and I do some hobbies separately, but I couldn’t imagine throwing a party without him. (Given how few I’ve thrown, that would be a remarkable event for me.) Sensory issues absolutely make sense as a reason to avoid that, though.

I love and respect the way people with different preferences make relationships work… Power to you both!

That sounds perfect

Woah your marriage is different from mine. I’m interested.

A bear on my road has learned to open cars by using the door handle. Pretty amazing. It got into mine, ate something sugary, and left with no damage other than mud absolutely everywhere.

Now I lock my car doors at night with respect for this boss bear.
