My method is “live in Alaska.”

I was going to say VHS Michael Jackson Thriller and Making Of Thriller.

Her and Olivia Rodrigo are my go-to for teaching my daughter “how not to be.”

I had never heard it before, but it sounds like a song that would play on some straight-to-dvd knockoff of a Disney movie with janky 3d animation, with the director’s daughter playing and singing the lead role.

Yeah, I still can’t hear “Cheek to Cheek” without getting residually wrecked.

What Dreams May Come is incredible in so many ways. It’s incredibly beautiful, incredibly sad, and just hits everything so perfectly. It just hits on so many emotional points and uses in such artistry to convey it. I love it so much.

I feel the same about “Daughters” by John Mayer. That song sounds like my will to live gently sapping away.

I didn’t have a solid answer to the question until I read this. Absolutely gets the worst response from me.

First two chords and I’m like “nooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”

Wait, wait…

So war in Iran… helps Ukraine. But it also supports Israel. This is a little too complicated, I want bad guys and good (or at least less bad/powerful guys), not one bad guy causing problems for another bad guy which causes problems for another bad guy.

Hey, Israel! If you want to just bomb the shit out of weapons manufacturing facilities in Iran and quit your shit in Gaza, I will support you and my government tossing money at you for that purpose.

I think a simple matter that if you roll around on the ground “in pain,” you get removed for medical attention and for the rest of the game for monitoring. If you’re injured, you’re injuried. If you’re being a whiny baby, you don’t deserve to be in the game. If you’re faking, you deserve to be ejected. But in all cases it comes to the same conclusion.

Oh, and this doesn’t automatically mean a foul. It’s not like a person can’t get hurt when no foul occurs. I hurt myself stepping out of bed in the morning.

And to preempt an argument… “there’s no study that says beards/razor bumps interfere with gas masks”… There are. Most of them say minimal beards/hair is fine (less than 1/16th of an inch) to get a mask seal, where 1/8 can already lead to issues. But it’s understudied. The risk of getting it wrong is people’s lives.

I was coming in here to disagree with you, because I’ve heard this same thing, but I won’t argue a point unless I check my sources first, and sure enough, you’re correct (except maybe that stubble is fine). OSHA even states that tight-fitting respirators are not to be used by those with facial hair that extends past/across the seal. So one could argue that if wearing a gas mask is a requirement, anybody who has facial hair (other than a trimmed moustache) is unable to fulfill that requirement by OSHA rules alone.

Yeah, I’m pretty torn. In my small community (on an island), housing and rent are insanely expensive, and also pretty scarce. There are people who have full time jobs living in tents in the woods or in their cars (in Alaska) not because they can’t afford a place to stay, but because there are no places to rent.

It’s also a major tourist spot, and the population more than doubles regularly on days during the summer, and for those that fly in, the hotels book up quick. So there’s a huge AirBnB market. Which means houses are getting bought up and then set up as AirBnBs instead of renting to residents, so housing becomes even more scarce. So I hate AirBnB.

But… I just bought a 4 bedroom house, where one of the beds is in a built in 1-bedroom apartment, with its own kitchen and everything. We wanted a 4bedroom house so we could have a guest room for people visiting, as well as just have extra space for us. Well, once I retire, one of our plans is to rent that out as an AirBnB during the times we don’t have guests staying. It doesn’t deplete housing in the area (we wouldn’t be renting it out anyway), and it helps pay our ridiculous mortgage.

So I hate it… but if it’s used properly/ethically, I feel like it could be pretty good.

OneDrive crashes not only the original computer I had the problem on, but the replacement computer that I got (upgrade) as well. Then when I moved to a different office, it crashed another computer and then created the same problem for the one other person using the computer.

And by crashing, I mean the second it tries to do anything everything freezes, and the only way to get out of it is a hard reset.

So OneDrive.

One side it trying to force them to choose a side. It is up to adults to say “this is between us, and our relationship doesn’t change your relationships.”

OP could be very supportive of their mother and still not want to move out of the home they already lived in. But it doesn’t sound like the mom wants to let OP do that.

Also, from their other comments, their father has been more supportive through their life while their mom has been cold and judgemental. Trying to force her child into a position whete they are expected to mete out judgement as well just emphasizes that they aren’t terribly concerned with the well-being of their child.

And anyway, if you want support, you should give support. And OPs mom missed that boat, so it makes sense for OP to stay with the parent who supported them.

1 got Pluto-ed?!

Or better yet:

“It’s 1234. If that doesn’t work, press C then 1234.”

I seriously did not realize Purolator was still around. My dad worked for them 40 odd years ago, and quit on the spot, with kids and a wife at home, because of how awful they were (called and checked with my mom first, who was supportive).

Why those quotes though? Why do you want to hurt us?
