Why would anyone hack me? I’m poor, I’m boring, I have basically nothing to offer

It goes for anything with sorbitol in it, which prunes are high in, humans are generally not able to process it which leads to a bowel movement or gas

And AC means air conditioning? Do you think AC can impact your body more than just cooling it?

Sorbitol intolerance is a bitch! It’ll get you every time

EE dying or another round of Reddit bans, probably both

It’s incredibly remote, flying from the US it’ll take you about 24 hours to set foot on Bora Bora proper but you’ll be in Tahiti in like ~18 hours if you leave from the west coast, so no it’s definitely not accessible basically at all, but you can boat between the islands to a degree once you get there. The ancient Polynesians and their methods for crossing vast distances over water truly are awe inspiring.

I got married in Bora Bora, it was after I spent six months in the ICU and we said fuck it we getting married, going on vacation and honeymooning all at once - Bora Bora is paradise on earth and one of the very few places I’ve ever been, along with Corsica where the hype and reality actually matched. It’s remote enough there’s not really any “overly touristy” issues, especially on bora bora which is not the main island of Tahiti. I’m sure Maupiti is absolutely incredible but there’s literally not a single reason to not go to bora bora

I bet it sounds a lot better when spoken in French too

Is it not a historical name? Like people have great great grandparents with this name maybe?

He’s right to feel uncomfortable because it’s inappropriate. My kids are 19 and 21 and while I am hopeful/happy for them to have intimate adult relationships they find fulfilling I don’t have any interest in those relationships happening under my roof with what is essentially a stranger. My son has been in a relationship with a nice young woman for about a year and a half and while I would have no issue with them sharing a room I wouldn’t want my 19 year old sharing her room with a freshly found boyfriend or vice versa, it is intimate and I care about the quality of my kids relationships and if they’re dating someone who doesn’t respect that I don’t want causal sex going on in my house I don’t know how quality this person they’re dating even is… for me, as the parent in this situation is that this feels way too much like casual sex which I feel isn’t in most people’s best interests. Hook up else where and figure it out six months down the road

Counterpoint, that’s actually not the blues states jobs, our job is to take care of our state(s) just like others states job is to take care of themselves.

As a Washingtonian I would be thrilled if the west coast became independent but there’s no movement towards it and of course the road getting there is unknowable, but as an abstract concept it’s lovely.

Red states have done nothing but hold places like where I live back, they’re actively dragging us down with them and it’s wildly unfair to ask me and my people to subsidize states that relish in our destruction and aim to drown us along side themselves. Red states don’t deserve to be subsidized, let them live with the consequences of their actions without the comfort blue states afford them and see how long those red state governments last.

Must be spill over from the meme groups posting ancient stale memes

The “bell beaker” people and culture is a fun rabbit hole for anyone interested in ancient water carrying technologies

Literally the only rational answer. Stop giving a fuck about what people look like unless you’re explicitly looking for someone to fuck

Question: do vinegar based spicy sauces hurt?

It tastes gross

It was probably the last thing to change as I got older but for most of my life I hated to drink water cause it all tasted bad to me

I feel like it’s more about cadence or speech patterns than an accent

One of those flip boards for folding shirts, especially if you’re adhd, it makes it so you can neatly fold them and still see the front of the shirt so no more unfolding a bunch of things to check if it’s what you want and then just get left there unfolded

Anyone have any advice on which Dictionnaire Infernal is the most entertaining? Any with good illustrations?

I’m confused why you would lose your license for being hit by someone else, that only happens if you are the one who caused the accident and were negligent enough that it was an unreasonable accident.

That said I do believe driving is a basic skill, in an emergency knowing how to drive can be critical, it can be life or death and not being able to transport yourself or others can have very serious consequences. Independence is another issue, you want to rely on other people to do nearly anything for the rest of your life? Unless you live in a large city with good public transportation (and plan to for the rest of your life) giving up the ability to drive will absolutely cripple your personal development in the long term, you remain a child reliant on those around you and it’s really not cute once you’re 40 and still begging to hitch rides.

I don’t think think you need to be driving all the time but you absolutely should know how and be familiar incase you ever do need to respond to an emergency or you end up in an abusive situation. Choosing to remain dependent serves no one. Find a better driving school, ask your boyfriend to practice with you, drive in big empty parking lots or low speed roads, you’re literally in control of the car wether you feel like it or not and building confidence and getting some experience will help your feelings match reality
