That’s impressive as hell! You should be proud!

I’m very sorry for your loss, but that’s a really great accomplishment. I’m glad you 2 were able to find each other and that you were able to learn from your experience with him. All the best <3

My first Covid vaccines did this, but I have contact dermatitis and my skin reacts to almost anything, including winter sweaters.

I’m not a doctor and not giving medical advice, but for me this is not necessarily uncommon. That doesn’t mean the same for you, obviously.

It was a mini-series based on a novel by Ken Follett, but ‘The Pillars of the Earth’. It starred Eddie Redmayne.

Movie - Episode IV/A New Hope (if I had to pick a 2nd/3rd, in no order: Episode 3 and Rogue One)

Show - Andor

Novel - oooh this is tough! The Rogue One prequel ‘Catalyst’ was fantastic, as was the Rogie One novel. ‘Lost Stars’ was another good one set in the OT timeline. There’s also Rebel Rising, about Jyn Erso’s time with Saw Guerra, and Leia: Princess of Alderaan about teenage Leia a few years before ANH showing how she gets involved with the Rebellion. And of course the OG Zahn Trilogy plus the new ones that have come out.

I did read Alphabet Squadron and thought they were good.

Game: Old school Rebellion (PC), the Jedi Knight series, of course KOTOR, Galaxies MMORPG, Galactic Battlegrounds, and I’m getting into Battlefront 2 again. I’m about to start Outlaws so we’ll see how that goes. Oh and Jedi Fallen Order, but I haven’t played Survivor yet.

Star Wars and history - in particular how Lucas had aspects of Nazi Germany and the Vietnam War because he was an anthropology student and knew that empires most often fell from within.

So yeah I’m still on a big Andor high right now, waiting for some novels and other books to drop after that.

Other books I can recommend:

Star Wars and History

The History and Politics of Star Wars - Death Stars and Democracy (the author is a World War I historian)

Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy

Star Wars Propaganda: A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy

Goddamn this is so fucking true. Ugh.

And nothing of value was lost.

Yeah, I wasn’t diagnosed until I was an adult and it never goes away (as in you’re never cured) so…I find it helps, at least at work. I try to take weekends off if I’m just chilling though.

Slim Jim’s. Don’t tell me what the real ingredients are; I don’t want to know. Leave me with this one last glimmer of happiness in my life.

Beaux-Arts, I just think it’s beautiful and intricate. I’m also a fan of Frutiger Aero and Googie mentioned already, which seems contradictory. Is there an architecture style that somehow combines Beaux-Arts with either one of those?

No. I just don’t. I don’t know why…I just have never wanted kids since as long as I can remember.

• you are pathetic
• you make me want to vomit
• you are disgusting
• you are a disloyal, condescending asshole
• you are sickening
• I can’t wait until I no longer have to be around you

Borderline Personality Disorder is not a ride I ever asked to be on.

This was fascinating, thank you for taking the time.

I feel like that would just give it a more “hellish” ambiance, increasing the suffering of everyone exposed to it. Selfie sticks for miles, influencers…this is definitely a way to make it worse than it’s already purported to be.

My grandmother made the best okra gumbo. Haven’t found anything like it since. Damn. It’s not cold outside but I want some good okra gumbo now lol

Holy shit that is wild.

Measure of a Man IIRC, fantastic episode.

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

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