Isn’t the weird part, “and the next two in line of succession?”

I just finished rewatching “The Good Place” and can’t help but to think the Good Place Committee were written in a way to make fun of democrats.

It’s a pretty spot on representation.

I had a coworker in manufacturing, who was just about 60, he worked so freaking hard, and basically was a god at running the machine. On top of running the machine to get good product, we had to pack the product, lifting anywhere from 1500-3500 pounds of material a shift each. He’d been doing it for 30 years.

He stopped taking lunch break at some point because he was afraid if he sat down, he wouldn’t be able to get back up. Shit fucked his back.

You’re doing great fauxpseudo, I love seeing your posts.

The only man irl I’ve met who didn’t wash his ass because he thought it was gay … I found out was raped as a child.

The joke isn’t funny anymore. The number of men I’ve met who were raped as children by other men, is a lot higher than I think people realize. It’s traumatizing and there isn’t support.

Oh wow this looks really good!

My first Civ game was civilization revolution (xbox 360) back in the day and I loved it, though it didnt get addicted to it.

I bought Civ 6 with all the dlc’s last year on a steam sale for like, 7 bucks. I got 200 hours in… three months?

I played non stop for a good few months all I know. Haven’t touched it in a bit, but I love the civ games

No we aren’t as destructible as we think we are, are we? Ha.

I love that you have a fulfilling family today, it makes me smile knowing that it all came together for you

I’ve also found it very hard to relate to people my age because they usually have some sort of relationship with their family

Wow this hit home.

I remember in my early to mid 20s really really struggling with this too. It’s still tough today, albeit a bit easier to deal with, but it was such a stuggle especially in the young adult years. I wouldn’t even date a potential partner if they had good parents, because I felt some ways about it. I remember working retail, and basically having a fit inside one day because I over heard a teenage gril fighting with her mom about her mom buying her stuff. I never once went clothing shopping with my mom, or another woman and the girl was being so ungrateful. I pretty certain I cried in the bathroom for a time that day.

I don’t miss feeling that deep pain. Healing is such a good feeling. Therapy helps me a lot too. I still go on a regular basis to cope with stuff. Im glad you’ve that resource too <3

I love the happy ending. I hadn’t planned to have kids, but when I had my son it certainly grounded me in a way that having a child didn’t ground my own parents. I felt such urgency to make a good family/life for him.

I moved a lot too, which made it really hard to make and keep friends. I’ve never had a “group” for long growing up. Switching schools/homes/gaurdians so often really makes life hard.

It’s tough as a young person who doesn’t trust any adults, to get support from said adults. Im really glad to hear things turned out okay in the end for you!

My life wouldn’t be the same without the kindness of friends and strangers, second chances, and a sense of fierce and defiant optimism.

This is ao very true for me too. Thank you for sharing

My husband used to have night terrors before he got sober. That shit was scary! He would sleep talk, and not sound human. I’ll never forget I woke up early one day while he stayed asleep and I heard him yelling “help” over and over. I was so scared, I ran to him, and woke him.

Thank goodness it stopped when he got sober. I feel for anyone who gets night terrors, it’s no fun

Damn, it’s the same exact thing at my house, I could have written this. Beef is absolutely a special occasion thing at my house, I now cook it maybe twice a year. I really dislike pork for various reasons, but chicken prices have gone up a lot too. I just can’t do the pork though, sometimes I’ll get sausage(s) when the local maker has them on sale, but thats it.

I’ve been preparing a lot more bean dishes this last year or so, often times I won’t have meat so my husband and son can have it and it stretches further.

Beef is so resource intensive to produce, I’m not actually that upset its gotten so expensive, it probably should be expensive. So a beef dish feel special when we have do have it.

I struggle to sleep without my husband. I need my feet to touch his, at least. We share a queen bed, even use the same blanket (it is a King blanket though). Im really surprised so many folks don’t sleep in the same bed at their partner here. Nothing wrong with it, I’m just surprised.

Maybe things will change when we are older, but I couldn’t imagine.

I don’t even know what I’m defending, or what you’re talking about. Have a cheesy day!

So you’re crying you can’t get Euro cheese in the states? And that’s it? What’s the point in arguing about that.

Maybe have someone ship you some. We’re just offering you options. If none of it is good enough, get it from Europe then?

I also live in the Northeast, and, uh, New England absolutely has good cheese on a local level.

National brands are offered everywhere and are shit so they can be shipped across country. Strive for regional brands and you’ll have luck.

I buy parm cut from an imported block. That $15 chunk will last a few months or more for me… I use it sparingly though.

I buy imported Parmesan cut straight from the block for pasta, and savor it in each dish as it is expensive. Excuse yourself.

There are many small farm, local cheeses in my area. Arethusa is a famous, award winning cheese maker in my state. You pay a lot for it, but many farmer’s markets and rural areas have cheese makers.

Obviously if you buy national cheese brands, they will suck. But that doesn’t mean with a little effort you can’t find good cheese made locally to you with higher quality care.

I once saw a study where they did a brain scan on someone while playing music. The results were fascinating. I’m bout to double check it’s been so long, but I’m near certain it lights up all parts of the brain. Something amazing happens when we play music. It absolutely is a core human experience.
