That kind of sounds like it fucked you up. Glad to hear you’re doing better.

That would make me feel better!

I just saw a video the other day about some guy who got seriously addicted to that stuff.

He started out as an occasional user and even set a “never two days in a row” rule for himself, until he broke it. It fucked him up bad. Do be careful.

I wouldn’t say it’s unnormal.

It’s a bit more severe, but I don’t know anybody that doesn’t feel uncomfortable when people are arguing near them. Some definitely mind more than others.

What a bizarre response.

Yes, and no.

Obviously, someone with no Jewish lineage could convert and they won’t start developing the genetic traits of a Jew, but from what I understand, even they themselves consider themselves a different lineage than gentiles.

Not unlike how people say they are Italian or Irish, even if they’ve never been to Europe.

I don’t have a twin, so I’ll never have perfect eggs. 😞

This is how we do it. Works great!

More than ever? Probably not.

Theft has pretty much always been a crime. Picking an apple from the King’s orchard could get you killed in some places.

I’d say it’s probably about the same, aside from a few specific cultures that weren’t built on the concept of property.

Even then, I wouldn’t have any sympathy for him. Like you said, he COULD have been an ally, he COULD have done something to make future generations not feel the shame he felt, but he didn’t. He clung to fame and fortune and inflicted even more suffering on many types of people.

If anything, it would make me respect and sympathize even less than I already do.

I don’t see why. Being bisexual has nothing to do with being a selfish narcissistic child rapist.

At least gumball and his sister look like their parents.

I think everybody has pretty much nailed how to verbally respond, but I think it’s important to mention how to internally respond to it.

Any advice given should be honestly considered. It’s human nature to think our own idea is better than anyone else’s.

Sometimes the situation is unique and other people don’t know all the finer details like you do, and what worked for them just doesn’t apply to you.

Other times, they may know more you think they do. Don’t take it as gospel, but consider any warnings or possible solutions that didn’t cross your mind before.

More information and diverse perspectives create better solutions.

My parents were smart enough to find an AC adapter and a car charger for it. There’s no way they’d buy that many batteries for us to keep it alive.

I feel like a fool for getting pumped about Fetterman. He really sounded like a stand up guy before he ran for senator. But, considering the alternative was Dr. Oz, I don’t think I would have changed my vote even if I knew what I know now.

You get to drink from the fire hose!

Nope. Six AAs.

Shit sucks right now, more conversations about what’s fun can only help!

It would work until it didn’t.

Just depends how long it takes them to realize it’s happening.

escapism in the form of weed & late night gaming after the family has gone to sleep.

I second this! Whatchu been playing?
