“We’re not mad, we’re just very disappointed”

I’d like to be known as someone who “tenderizes meats without assistance”, that seems like a compliment of the highest order

I think once he got back on his feet you probably reminded him (through no fault of your own obviously) of that horrible painful time in his life and it may have just been too unbearable to be around you. And he may not have even made that as a conscious decision. Still it’s completely unfair to you and you didn’t deserve that. Your value in being a good person in this world is appreciated, at least by an internet stranger :)

Sounds fierce! My beagle chihuahua mix will just make very loud high pitched and squawky noises, so as long as your chihuahua still has hearing mine has a chance in a battle

Boat owner here and grew up boating. Mine and my husband’s happiest place is being on the water on our boat. BUT it is expensive and there are a lot of considerations and you very much need to know how to properly operate one and know the rules of the water. For example, docking is a skill in many conditions, it’s way harder than it looks, make sure you understand right of way, constant bearing decreasing range (if a boat looks like it is in the same spot relative to your position but it keeps getting bigger and bigger you’re on a collision course), know how channel markers work (red right returning), know how to read marine maps and understand tides and how much water your boat draws so you never run aground, where are you going to keep your boat-dry slip/wet slip/boat house storage and if it’s dry storage you need a trailer for the boat and a car (truck) that can pull the weight of the boat and the trailer, then you need to learn how to launch a boat (this is just comical to watch people try, me included, I don’t even try). Dock space is expensive, fuel is expensive, maintenance is expensive. Buy used but ask how many hours the boat and engine have on it, don’t just rely on the age. And ask about maintenance history. Know that engines are WAY more expensive than you would think. And please please please take a boat safety course and get your license. If there’s any way you can be on and around other people’s boats and just watch and ask questions for a while I would highly recommend that! Two biggest things- pay attention to the weather and always put the plug in before you launch the boat!!

God speed friend

I was just watching Love Island (don’t judge) and noticed two of the guys who are very good friends were sitting with their legs sort of crossed together. Like the way girls who are close friends would. It stuck out because you don’t really see that much but I was like hey that’s pretty cool, kinda more masculine (at least from my girl perspective) than guys that are all afraid to touch each other

I know I’ve seen you before because your username cracks me up

I was starting to think I was crazy bc I don’t see profile pics anywhere! But I guess it’s a Voyager thing

Realtor and brand and marketing consultant for our brokerage. Not the astronaut or veterinarian I pictured myself as a kid. But still, I’m happy :)

OMG I just had this exact conversation with my doctor!

I mean, I definitely can’t argue with “closeup of a dirty surface”

I see a uvula more than anything on that one

Well I love Paczki with all my heart! I’m spending my $15 on Paczki too

For me the problematic thing here is the insinuation that having a distinct hobby specific passion is what makes us interesting as human beings, that somehow human connection is predicated on passion and carved out hobbies. Not all of us have energy or time or just general mental capacity or desire to take on a passion project or dive into a hobby. I have family, friends, dogs, work, boating, biking, dog rescue, cheese, these are all a part of what make me but nothing I want to join a club over or dedicate any more time to than I already do. Some days are just about living and being. I can still be fun and funny and compassionate and interesting to talk to without having to develop and showcase a specific passion. Anywho

Well now I just looked up the documentary and put it on! Whatever this faction is I don’t think it’s representative of the whole. The ones near me I think have always embodied peacefulness. The temple has its doors open regularly, I’ve never really walked in and looked around but it would be interesting. It’s also in an area that’s really blown up in value since they bought it, worth many millions today. I’m sure they’ve been offered buyouts by developers but clearly didn’t accept any if so. Just goes to show it’s not about the money for them!

Stop saying that!!!

Heyo, run of the mill cis girl here, middle age (that pains me to say it but it’s reality), we’re here. And I’ve honestly noticed the demographic being a lot of mid-30’s and up here. Not exclusively of course but more so than Reddit

Have you ever been asked to fish one out when it got stuck? Be prepared, it may happen one day

I like to think that note on the fridge is a to-do list of chores for the big old snake. I hope he remembered to fold the laundry and pick up some milk on the way home

There’s a temple of theirs very near me. I don’t see many around now but back in the 90s it’s was a big thing. But they were always very peaceful here, not remotely sinister. They just played that tambourine and chanted away and did their own thing
