I climbed that pyramid forever ago when it was still legal to do so.

Tons of people were going up & down. I didn’t realize things had changed and that it was also on the list of “new” 7 wonders of the world.

It was a bitch coming down though because it’s so steep.

Anyway, dude should have known better.

It’s a pretty cool place. Good food and drinks.

wtf Mozilla :(

What the fuck

It symbolized a divided America, which is only exacerbated by Trump.

What even is that hair? I realize going after appearance is the lowest common denominator, but that was definitely a choice that was made.

My guy with the receipts!

It’s on our internal searches as well. Some 404’s, some “due to executive order (whatever the fuck number) this page is no longer available” message.

Same.

Yeah - this is infuriating. I flew today and went to take out my laptop & tablet - I had packed them in my bag so that it would be an easy move.

She started barking at me not to do that. So I asked about shoes. “I wouldn’t have said it if I didn’t mean it.”

Goddamn lady. You just had to say yes.

Poor Barron - I thought he was the best with the cyber.

The ones on TikTok kill me. They’re the first to complain about younger generations being so loud with their phones, but meanwhile they’re just scrolling that shit in public, a new video every few seconds, with the volume turned up to max.

So you hear every new voice/music with no context.

They do get mad if you have noise cancelling earbuds in, too, so we can’t win. Somehow that makes us in the wrong as well.

A million times this.

Thanks! I’ll try that out!

I cannot for the life of me figure out the overpasses in this game. I’ve done the tutorials tons of times and when I go to place one in the game, I’m obviously doing something wrong because it won’t let me place it or it places it in some convoluted way that I didn’t want.

I cannot find an explanation. I love the game but ultimately quit playing because of this.

I lost ~ 50 lbs drinking a ton of water, intermittent fasting, and keto.

This was over the course of 1.5-2 yrs or so. I’ve kept most of it off for about 5 years now and pay close attention to how my clothes fit. I never weighed myself during the process and still don’t - it just induces anxiety for me. I go by my clothes.

Stephen Colbert. I met him once, very briefly. He was visiting a thing I was working. He was very kind - went around to everyone, shook our hands, and introduced himself individually.

But that made me think he was a legit good guy. He didn’t have to take the time to do that.

I would assume it also has to do with your assignment and how much/if any combat you’ve experienced and injuries you sustained.

My Dad was drafted into Vietnam - infantry - and was wounded. He was only there ~ 6 months, and tried to go to university on the GI Bill, but for awhile couldn’t stand being in that type of environment immediately after returning home. PTSD/survivor’s guilt, etc, were too much.

Later on in life his injuries prevented him from being able to work. This, combined with rising medical debt, left us in a bad spot.

What you’re exposed to when you serve and when you served also come into play - PTSD is taken more seriously now, as are the effects of things like Agent Orange. I’m not sure if the VA is better or worse from, say, 20 years ago, but that could also be a factor.

Not sure if this helps to answer your question, but that’s my personal anecdote.

My partner is stoic-adjacent (if that’s a thing; my description, not theirs) and it really bothers me. A lot of “I can control my emotions and choose how I act, you should try that” - yeah stop. We’re human. Emotions are normal. It’s okay to get angry as long as you’re able to vent your frustrations in a healthy way.

Repressing that shit will only make it worse when they eventually do come to the surface. You’re not a machine and you’re not better than those who don’t pretend to act like they are.
