This is just me leaving my room for the first time in three days after getting a new game.

I’m reading this directly after a long day of social interactions with strangers. My social battery hit zero about two hours before the event was over and it still had two hours of talking to my kid(I love him to the bone, but I just can’t handle the nonstop talking when I’m this drained) and I got a surprise phone call from my family on top of all that

Safe to say I’m not gonna willingly talk to anyone for the next 24 hours. Just wanted to say I know the feeling and I hope you get the chance to decompress soon

Yep, that’s pretty much the standard salad where I live. Most people understand that’s not really healthy, but it still feels healthier than bread sticks and butter. The cherry tomatoes are the extra convincing we need to actually call it “healthy”

I’ve had to train literally hundreds of people over the various jobs I’ve had and it causes me to over explain in almost every conversation.

I got two tricks to figure out how much someone knows about a topic and encourage them to ask questions rather than lie just to avoid being a little uncomfortable.

First, I look for them to use vocabulary that I haven’t already mentioned or if they seem to understand something just by using a couple words.

Second, I ask them to explain something early in the conversation to make it easier to ask if they don’t understand something later. It’s usually really simple, but it really does work to lower communication barriers.

I like to think it makes us feel more like equals trading expertise, rather than like I’m some authority talking down to them.

I hope this helps anyone

Cherry tomatoes are the things you put in a salad at a restaurant to feel healthy, then pick them out once you get back to the table.

Unfortunately judges can be corrupted too. They can accept bribes to rule favorably and their clerks can charge unsolicited fees to lose files or giving access to judicial decisions before they’re scheduled to release.

Absolute power currupts absolutely.

Yeah, I experience this all the time. I’ve got dozens of interests and I often find myself in the same situation where I’ve put too much energy into research and now I don’t have any left for actually doing it.

Here’s what I do, I take a day away from whatever it is and the next day I put together the smallest thing I can do, rather than the best. It’s even better if you can just use what you already have, supplies and research included.

In your case, cooking is perfect for this way of doing things. You can play with the recipe as you’re making it. And unless you’re dealing with raw meat at that moment, you can taste as you go to get everything just right. I recommend a simple vegetable soup. There’s almost always some vegetables laying around in my fridge or cupboard and there’s so many ways you can make it yours. Some veggies, tomatoes, water, and a couple spices is the simplest way.

After that, try swapping some parts out, maybe broth instead of water, or throw in some chopped chicken, or swap tomatoes for heavy cream and a pinch of flour, or play with the amount of ingredients, maybe more tomatoes and less veggies, or more veggies and less water.

I hope this helps and I’m sorry this is so long. Cooking is one of my favorite things and I think everyone should get to enjoy making their own food.

The scary movie that got me was No Man’s Land. A serial killer kills himself to avoid being taken to prison and his ghost traps the whole town while he goes on a killing spree.

I watched it again years later and it wasn’t nearly as scary as I remembered. I was like 12 and it was 2 in the morning, so it chilled my sleep deprived self to the bone.

Oddly enough, this movie wasn’t what gavee the worst nightmare I ever had. That honor belongs to the kids show Chalk Zone. The episode with the pink, hair eating frogs scared me in my dreams so bad I still get goosebumps just remembering it.

Man, it almost felt like I was back on reddit. Ngl I kinda missed getting into or reading heated arguments over dumb things.

Yeah, I never liked them. They’re designed to keep you in their app as long as possible, not to get matched with people you actually vibe with.

I met my fiance through a hookup app, but that was a complete fluke. The app didn’t help me get to know him any better than it did for anyone else I met. It was mostly our time spent together in person that made me fall in love enough to propose. As soon as we started dating, I deleted that app and never looked back.

Sounds fair. You can have Romeo and I’ll take Juliet. I’d rather my grandchild not have to see their best friend get killed during a street fight anyway.

A multigenerational feud is just another thing around the house to keep up with. But you drive a hard bargain. I’ll take the feud if you throw in a forbidden love between our great grandchildren

Eh, having enemies takes too much effort. Can we be like those neighbors that don’t like each other, but don’t really do anything about it?

If you don’t think flabbgeafy or skegagery is funny as hell, then i don’t think we can be friends

I haven’t ever talked to a furry that was younger, but I did introduce my little cousin to SWAT Kats. I wasn’t around when it aired, but they did reruns on boomerang and I watched it every time I could stay up late.

This show was possibly what made me into a furry. Callie Briggs was my first cartoon crush and Chance is probably what gave me my type for guys

You’ll have to ask me after I do it, I’m not sure how I’ll feel

I don’t even play mtg anymore, but I want these so bad

An enema every day would absolutely ruin your gut health. How did anyone ever listen to that guy?

I wish the whole world would just drop Microsoft office like the bad product it is and went to libre. Yeah, it was innovative when it first hit the scene, but now it’s just become stale and pointlessly expensive.

Idk. The us population definitely isn’t aligned with the us government or vice versa.

Jokes aside, that’s pretty interesting. I didn’t know that’s where those terms came from
