Have you learned nothing from science fiction? You can’t go messing with the past. Nothing good can come from destabilizing the timeline.

Goodnight, talk soon.

I wish to be spaghetti but at the moment am feeling more like penne.

Based on what I hear playing, my money is on Mr. Brightside.

Gershwin’s Summertime is my real answer. It has been covered by so many artists already, it might keep going.

For everyday crows, of course.

Um. That sounds so weird. My kids always liked colors, I like colors, about the same amount as always. The blue, blue sky. The vivid pink of the bougainvillea, we all notice these.

I don’t have particularly colorful decor though. More like neutrals and muted colors with splashes of brighter.

We are in Florida and the universities are fine, except for the loss of the New College (may RDS rot in hell for what he did to that school). But if they are interested in engineering they wouldn’t have needed the free school.

If it’s cool here, it’s probably fine everywhere. Colleges are filled with kids from different places.

Maybe tea would suit you better? It contains the L-Theanine others here have recommended, and usually has less caffeine.

You could also just make smaller servings if you want to drink coffee twice, literally just use a smaller cup, or don’t fill it all the way?

Aeropress might be good too - it makes a nice strong tasting cup of coffee but the water is not in contact with the coffee for as long as it is for drip coffee.

Is the one I have. It sounds good, you can make a lot of different noises with it.

Why do you ask? What sort of intolerance are you having?

I don’t drink it until I’ve been up a few hours and not within a few hours of sleeping, that works for me.

When young though, nothing felt better than sleeping on amphetamines or caffeine. So many dreams and so refreshing. I can’t do it now, too close to sleeping just makes it hard to sleep.

I think if you wouldn’t use it as your wallpaper at work because it is inappropriate for work, that’s NSFW. So yeah at my job that would be NSFW.

I’m not a fella, but either

Phone and husband

Or

Purse (keys, phone, wallet, work badge, hair clips, vitamins & medicines, measuring tape, lip balm, hand cream, cloth to clean glasses, crow whistle, gaming dice.)

The cocktail-averse I know all seem to like:

Margarita

Paloma

Pineapple, whiskey and lime

Mojito

You do not need to enjoy cocktails, there is plenty of other food and drink to build a palate, but if you want to learn to like the spirits and liqueurs in them, fizzy water is a way - I find whiskey & tequila in particular too strong to be able to taste and enjoy them, and most liqueurs way too sweet, but one shot in a glass of Topo Chico or other good fizzy water to dilute them? That lets me actually taste what people enjoy about them. Which then lets me think about what I might like them mixed with.

And I would like to plug [email protected] we can make recommendations based on what you already like.

It’s harder to think about “enough” in places like India (or even the US) where there is so much inequality.

But I would define “enough” as comfortable. Not worried about bills, buying whatever groceries you want, a good living situation and enough cushion that an emergency won’t make you homeless.

The addiction to more, more, more is a disorder like hoarding is.

Well I have kids your age, so a literal generation gap? Yes.

I think Lemmy has age diversity, more so than other platforms.

One thing, hmm. I need a rug for our front room, and a hundred would get a much nicer one than those I was looking at, so a rug.

Bourbon sour, unless it’s a good bar, then a margarita. If it’s really not a good bar, like at a concert then vodka cranberry or whiskey pineapple.

But at like a restaurant bar, mid tier, a bourbon sour.

I have noticed, with YouTube Music: if you play a new song, it plays similar sounding songs, old and new - that’s great.

If you play an old song, though, it just plays other music from the same time period regardless of what they sound like. Stupid.

Oh, Mr. Flickerman. Old people have sex. More than young people since now not as many distractions, no young kids or chance of pregnancy. I think a better way to express this is, it’s not important as long as it’s not a problem. I agree the friendship part is more important, but having a similar sex drive makes everything work better, and sex is not a silly thing to need in a romantic relationship, it’s not a frivolous extra.

Because you are in the middle of nowhere? There are so many people in the world, I cannot imagine nobody is into you. Above I see you say something about “people like you” but you seem to be able to communicate well and keep your cool, that puts you ahead of a lot of guys.

If you are around 40, it’s a pretty good age for looking for a partner. A lot of movement in the market, for lack of a better term.

If you want to hook up, get out there and talk to people. If you literally just want sex and not relationship, I can guarantee you that somewhere someone will be thrilled to break you in, no question. Anything you can imagine, someone gets off on it.

If you want a whole different life and sex is just part of what you are dissatisfied with, that is up to you to change - the point of power is always in the now. It doesn’t matter who you were, and while there are outside forces, you can do a lot to change your own life.
