8·26 days agoI guess “abide” (to bear patiently) and “endure” (to remain firm under suffering or misfortune without yielding) would both work, though neither has an inherent notion of time.
Patience. I think I just no longer have the energy to get that uptight about things. Benefits of being a quinquagenarian, it would seem. It should come with some damn benefits other than back and joint pain.
Breakfast bars. They’re not just for breakfast!
I’m also partial to chips & salsa.
The greatest lie ever told is “pull here to open”.
04·3 months agoI’m shipping using a pre-paid label. Pre-PAID. And they used to let you schedule pickups for free, as I said. It’s not like they come straight to your house. They can come by any time during business hours on the day you schedule.
But I don’t think you care about any of that. Whatever is wrong that makes you this way, I hope your life improves.
Fair but we don’t get regular deliveries via UPS. Most everything we get comes USPS or occasionally FedEx.
My wife and I both used Z Flip 4 for over a year. Mine isn’t my daily anymore but it’s still fine. Wife’s inner screen died on hers just after the warranty expired. I guess that’s mixed results. 😄
Honestly I’ve thought about going back to mine once or twice since my Pixel 8 Pro had some issues (now mostly resolved).
More like who would I do 😏
6·6 months agoEric’s wife became co-chair of the RNC in March. It’s MAGA all the way down.
We don’t keep bread in the house anymore but occasionally I want cinnamon toast. Nuke a little butter, mix in sugar & cinnamon, enjoy on saltines. It’s a little messy because the sugar and butter won’t completely emulsify but it scratches that itch when I’m baked.
You absolutely have a point. I guess she felt one lost her money and the other made her money. 😄
Incidentally, she published the Sleeping Beauty books under a pseudonym. Not sure when it became widely known that she was in fact the author.
My recollection is that the books use a fairy tale setting with the addition of a lot (and I mean a lot) of explicit sex. I don’t remember any vampires, but it’s been years.
As for the quality, “good” is subjective. I would say they are…effective in what they aim to accomplish insomuch as they are premium wanking material. 👍
I feel this. Depression can be like a comfy blanket.
They’re something. I actually learned about the book series itself in the nineties from my surprisingly sexually open ex-mother-in-law. 😆
I think Frankensteinian would work based off second definition of Frankenstein from m-w dot com.
2: a monstrous creation especially : a work or agency that ruins its originator
Frankensteinian is the adjective form.
My bad. I misread it as AnCom. I wouldn’t have said that if I’d read AnCap. Thanks for the lecture.
I could live in this world. I’d happily tolerate the RPN to end capitalism.
When relaying the Swatch time, do you have to say “n dot beats” or it just “n beats”?
I came here to say Cannibal Holocaust. That movie fucking traumatized me.
Some honorable mentions: Under the Skin 2013 The Witch 2015 The Neon Demon 2016
In general I think lack of empathy is the main problem, though I think even well-meaning people can make others feel guilty about having normal negative emotions, e.g. “You’ll get through it”. IMO the worst may be the one-uppers, the guy who says “That’s nothing. I knew this other guy who had cancer of the kitten.”
Thinking about it, I generally only share really upsetting news with friends and almost never online.
I agree that this is a really important job. The wife and I usually enable subtitles on English content (our first language) any time accents are involved. Watched Shakespeare & Hathaway on BritBox recently and the English subs were glorious. They used a different background color for each character which I found extremely helpful, and the accuracy was quite good.
Sadly this is not universally true for Britbox content. Hartnell-era Doctor Who seems to be based on the scripts as it occasionally deviates significantly from the lines as delivered.
Father Brown is sort of middling and appears to be auto-generated in that the subs are mostly right but any errors are obviously homophonic and would have been caught with human review.
