I totally understand. It’s hard to lose something that means more than it’s retail value.
I don’t think replacing it would help, even if it’s identical, it’s not really YOUR soup bowl. The search will just waste more time and energy obsessing over the soup bowl. Maybe keep a chunk of the broken bowl and put it away in a keepsake box. Next time you go digging for memories, it’ll still have a positive effect.
I got a little bit further and it turned into, “all the ways I wasted time as a kid are superior to the ways that people waste time today”
And this is coming from someone who did the exact same things around the same time as them. I loved those times, but, they were described with such an air of superiority that they don’t really deserve.
Lots of people listen, and lots of people don’t.
Similar to something I’ve been thinking about for a New Year’s resolution. (Which is something I’ve never really done, so I don’t know why I picked New Year’s)
Reach out to one person from the past every day. Maybe a close friend that moved away, maybe just someone I worked with 15 years ago and got along with. Just check in, say hi, and throw in something that I miss or appreciated about them.
I’ve been feeling really down the last few months, and it would probably feel nice to spread some positivity.
They already have a few of those right now. They don’t seem too keen on letting them go.
And don’t even get us started on Pythagoras!
I’m with everyone else, does ANYONE really care about those?
Absolutely.
A few years ago, there were two phrases being kicked around. Black Lives Matter, and All Lives Matter.
To many white people, All Lives Matter sounded like a positive message, but the black people understood it for what it really was: “Fuck your black lives.”
Depends who you ask.
While most of us are asking how he can get away with these things, his followers are celebrating his victories.
Why are they celebrating? Because they have decided to join his “side” and every time Trump does anything, they consider it a victory for the team, even if it causes them additional hardship in their life.
To them, it’s worth a little suffering as long as the “other team” doesn’t get a win.
Wait. Are you the person who asks leading questions to get people to say “chav” just so you can scold them for using a “slur”?
No worries. Even as I hit the submit button, I knew there was a good chance that I had it completely wrong but I took the chance.
Only four of them aren’t those things.
Maybe you need to follow more communities.
You could try bring an overactive listener. Ask a lot of questions “What does that mean?” “Can you give examples?” if you time them right, it’ll completely mess up his for when he’s monologuing.
Or, at the very least, you can have fun trying to see who can ask the stupidest question about Uncle Dave’s obsession.
It probably started with less voluntary players. As in two people betting on whether their prisoner lives.
Eventually some one decided it wasn’t hard enough and turned it on themselves
Trampling on Constitutional rights is well beyond mildly.
Plot twist: The first time machine HAS been invented, but the creator thought it was a failure because there was no previous machine to transmit to.
I prefer to support small businesses, but anytime I visit any in my area, they generally offer similar or the exact same products that I can order online for less.
I’m struggling enough right now, and every dollar counts. I’m rooting for the little guys, but I’m not willing to go broke to save them.
