I’m not saying it’s necessary, just explaining what it was for

The 30 seconds is a buffer between entering the space and spinning, so it doesn’t catch you running up. Like if it starts recording as you enter the room, how do you know when it started/stopped recording

Dixit is one of my favorites, and very fun to play with a group of people you know well. Sort of like Pictionary with cards instead of drawing, but you try to only get one person to guess correctly.

Small World was my introduction into alternative board games, and still one of my favorites to help introduce new board games to people who have only played Monopoly.

Just run through a doorway, he’ll have to slow down to walk through sideways

It heats water to hot! Instead of heating water from cold to lukewarm! /s

I sit down to wipe, I have a cat, and I have the toilet paper over. Neither the above comment nor yours explains my situation. Over is just easier to use, and subjectively more aesthetically pleasing.

Either put both the coins and bills in your pocket together and sort it out later, or don’t pick your items up off the counter until you sort out your change.

Because even if they gave your paper bills back separate from the coins, if your other hand is so occupied with the items you purchased, how were you going to get the bills in your wallet anyway?

Counterpoint, if the customer places the money on the counter for payment, how is there any issue if the cashier returns change by placing it on the counter?

What is considered polite may differ by region and culture. (I’m not claiming you specifically would be upset at this, it’s just relevant to the meme.)

In addition, be sure to supplement their diet with the occasional human leg

I’ll be careful

Someone stole them! Pretty sure I know who did it, I saw them in a museum

“Complicated descriptions”? Is there a lamp on one side, or a closet door? Just use that as a frame of reference, I wouldn’t call that a complicated description. Or, if you usually have the same bigs-poon, little-spoon orientation, you can describe which shoulder you’re laying on. But I still think using features of the room is the simplest way. “I’m laying on the closet side.”

Talk to your partner about what they consider romantic activities, because everyone has a different idea of what is or is not romantic. It can also depend on other bits of context. For example, going to a fancy dinner with one friend might be seen as romantic by your partner, but a fancy dinner with a sibling or group of friends might not be.

The timing could also be a bigger factor than the activity itself. Your partner might feel offended that you chose to leave the birthday celebration/activities for personal time to relax and unwind, only to then go and do something with a different friend. Even if that activity with the other friend wasn’t seen as a romantic activity, your partner might have still been upset that they were perceived as a lower priority on their birthday, a day they might have expected to be more prioritized by them.

Even further, different people have different degrees of, for lack of a better term here, jealousy towards their partner in regards to activities. I’m not implying your partner is toxic or a jealous sort, but a lunch “date” with a friend is acceptable for some partners, but crosses the line for others.

Do you love me? Could you learn to love me?

Or maybe it’s “I love my sibling and don’t want to see them slip further into this conspiracy rabbit hole. How can I offer them similar content that isn’t as harmful?”

Make sure my cat is taken care of, and hope I find a more complex purpose and goal before he’s gone.

It’s 100% this. Asking for a cut that’s super short, the hairsresser can always take more off but can’t add it back on. Either keep telling them “a little more off”, show them a picture of what you want (preferably a picture of yourself with the style from when you’ve previously had it done), or at the very least give them assurance not only that you are ok with the buzzer size you give them, but that it’s alright if it ends up shorter than expected.

It’s amazing how someone can just tell when it’s going to be a Technology Connections video. Such great videos on so many different topics!

I thought you were talking about the better, original version “Repo! The Genetic Opera” at first

Foyer, mudroom, entrance way. If you don’t have a small cube between a storm door and a front door, then just as you come inside.

This isn’t some privilege thing, it’s literally just an area of your house or apartment. Different environments have different entryways for the houses there. No need to be so hostile just because you don’t know what a “mudroom” is.
