It’s important to support those in your community that have the target on them before the target gets placed on you. Once the target is on you and the community has failed you keep yourself safe.

Implication being only a high schooler would think these things.

I’m closer to 40 than 35, and my wife recently gave up ever replacing “college blanket”, which was actually bought for me in early high school after I asked if I could take my grandparents comforter home with me. They found one and got it for me that Christmas (I think it was Ross/home goods), it was probably the most generic comforter ever, I always thought I’d be able to find another when needed. After 2 cats, a dog and the better part of 2 decades, my wife decided it was time to let it go and get a replacement, no problem, it’s the most generic comforter ever. She gets me a nice duvet, so we can keep the inside nice and replace the outside as needed, nope definitely not the same. She gets a comforter, it’s stitched way too tightly, and doesn’t breathe the same (okay maybe a 20 year old blanket has gained a bit of aeration, maybe it breathes better than it did when it was new, but you can definitely tell the padding is stitched much more tightly than college blanket’s ever was), she got me a “cooling” comforter, it’s decent, but paired best with college blanket, and when I only have 1 blanket 9 times out of 10 it’s college blanket.

Now college blanket has had 5 cats and 3 dogs and the majority of my life, it’s been the bed of desire for multiple animals, myself included, and my wife sometimes asks for it when she’s sick. Apparently it’s really scratchy, and holey, and it’s closely missing about 20% of it’s original fluff, and I would put it away in a place of honor in a heartbeat if I could find a new one. I swear it was 40 dollars at a home goods store, in a pile with a hundred others just like it, but we’ve looked for the better part of a decade now, and it’s been deemed irreplaceable. It would probably be the first material thing I went for if we had to evacuate. I’m not highly sentimental, but you don’t let a good blanket go.

38, just lost the 12 year old 267k miles car to an idiot my age in a brand new muscle car who was immediately on the phone to Daddy. It was one of the few things of value I had to my name. Was hoping to get 400k out of it. Instead I get a new car payment that I have no idea how I’m going to cover.

The times are rolling, I’m not sure they’re good.

I understand your motivation and desire to not let the morons go un-opposed, I appreciate what you’ve done, but it’s time to leave the troll in it’s cave. The ogre will not turn to stone if it feels the touch of sun unfortunately. Shine your brightness in places it’ll be appreciated.

We used to put dry ice in them and toss them under the liquid tanks as people were cleaning the insides of the tank. Definitely was a great reminder to use the PPE.

Or leave it uncapped?

Both times with the new car.

Both times transmission within a thousand miles of the warranty being over (both times on the wrong side of the warranty, but they were cool about it).

Hey that’s what I do!

King over country

Taskmaster

Uk, new Zealand, Australian, on repeat forever and ever. Even throw some of the Scandinavian versions on when I’m feeling focused enough for subtitles

Hotter, stupider and angrier.

Hell yes! Grandma was wild! I love old person stories, so many of them are fabricated, but also so many that I think are fabricated turn out to be legitimate. Oh you did party with (famous people from back in the day)? No shit…

I hate it as a tactic that’s been used on me, but darn if it isn’t effective. Also I genuinely appreciate people who offer their advice when I’m doing something foolishly, but my actions are from a place of genuine ignorance, not trying to catch someone into my friend circle.

Do something poorly/dangerous in the gym, attach yourself (politely) to the person who comes to help,

Or do something you’re passionate about and offer your knowledge to people who are earnestly trying their best but not doing it well (be conscience and ask if they’d like your experience to guide them)

Alternatively go hang out at an old folks home, they’d love your company, they’ll regail you with stories from their glory days, and they’ll probably talk you up to their family.

Volunteer your time at animal shelters/public service events.

Look back in ten years and do the figures yourself.

It’s not bad unless you want it to be bad. In ten years it’ll be nothing.

So you have an axe to grind because of another sports success?

Or are you here “just asking questions”

The sheets of paper are getting filled in minutes before they’re announced,

The teams can trade their picks between each other,

It’s not known what teams are going to take what players, if my team (4) thinks team 1 is going to take player A, and team 2 isn’t interested in that player but team 3 is, if team 1 takes player b instead my team might talk with team 2 about trading draft pick positions so we can get that player.

There’s a lot of talking between a lot of professionals representing a lot of teams, the whole situation is very fluid, and it might change the course of your franchise (unless you’re the Jets)

It’s also 3 days of spectacle.

The draft is being held in your state this year, it’s the first time as far as I can recall, they want to make a good show of it so it might return some day.

That’s amazing, I didn’t realize that I absolutely had an indescribable affinity for cold water until I read that, I would carry 2 double walled thermos full of ice to refill 5-6 times per day each, before I figured out what was going on.

Now I’m back to 1-2 liters of room temperature water per day, I miss the desire to drink more water, but it was killing me peeing once an hour, even at night.
