I saw him speak the other day and he was totally with it. Like that super old person who lives to be 120 and is sharp as fuck right until their body gives up, but until then they are firy and physically fit.
I’ll use it if you do.
Pinky swear?
At first I was like man, that person has a lot of sunflower seeds stocked up, that must have been a lot of sunflowers in their yard, but good for them..
But nope, these are just shells. Hopefully these shells haven’t been in anyone’s mouth…Imagine the mold at the bottom of that tote..
Why would anyone keep this? What do you do with them at this point? Assuming they were seasoned, you can’t really use them as mulch (salt), so like maybe compost, but even then adding that much salt all at once wouldn’t be doing your pile any favors..
Being literally dead, as in no brain or heart activity, is a pretty good place to draw a line.. totally fixes your slippery slope.
As long as the ads don’t federate in an un-blockable way, they can do as they like. I wouldn’t make an account there, I’d rather donate actual money than have a degraded experience (which for sure works out better for everyone), but I get the drive to monetize.
And they should absolutely -not- be allowed to federate ads, for any reason, since it goes against the vibe. But inevitably there will be “sponsored posts” (probably already are), and I think those instances/users will see themselves fade to oblivion, as long as new users are brought to understand that they could just chip in $2 and never see an ad.
Fittingly, the term romance originally meant “to derive from a romantic language”, meaning mostly Latin which was spoken in the Roman Empire.
The texts in reference were largely about chivalry and such. Hence the modern connotations.
So like, romance refers to a time before the world was fully known. :)
Super fun fact that isn’t fun at all:
In most states (possibly all) if a child under 18 is married to an adult over 18, their legal guardian changes from their parents to their now-spouse. So teeeeechnically, depending on the situation for the change of guardianship, that could actually be a totally legit loophole. In a very much should never be allowed to happen sort of way, naturally.
Before this gets weird, I only know that because I needed to know liquor laws, as my state allows minors to drink with their legal guardian who is over 21 which does include spouses. Nobody honors that at all (typically not even for parents because it’s really hard to prove legal guardianship), but technically that’s how it works.
I have a super old house that has these in it, along with spiders and other various creepy crawlies (nothing dangerously venomous in the area, save one spider species I’ve never seen, which only produces mild tissue necrosis).
I really don’t mind them -certainly not enough to do anything about them- and the cats like chasing them in the middle of the night, so whatever.
But man, on the rare occurrence I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and see one in the red light of the nightlight, skittering across the wall with a quickness, scares the bejesus out of me. Every. Damn. Time.
You don’t have to allow your family any sort of contact with your kids. That’s something you earn, not a right. Even for family, they have to earn that.
And you don’t have to be in contact with them so much yourself either if they don’t enhance your life.
You can.. fade away.. just take fewer calls, grey-rock them when you do talk, where you share minimal information, or just stop interacting with them.
You aren’t likely to change them; they’d have done that by now if they were going to. Best you can do is damage control and damage mitigation.
I just don’t talk to some of my family, like my dad. Idk if he’s even still alive because he wasn’t worth knowing. He detracted from, rather than added to, my life, so he isn’t in it. But you can be softer about it and still do damage mitigation, like making sure your kids are with friends for surprise visits or whatever.
No, cmon, please, living through significant impactful history is exhausting. We don’t want to do it anymore. Please just stop.

If your stove can possibly be ignited when you aren’t home, don’t store combustible things on top of it, please.
Doesn’t matter what might set off the combustion - a short circuit, a dog, a small family member, a drunk family member..
Don’t store combustibles on your heat-emitting device. You’ll have a bad time.
Mine emits flame, and the only things I store atop it are metal (baking sheets and pans) or Borosilicate glass (like pyrex). But I’m looking to swap for an induction stovetop, because the gas explosion risk is enough for me to be uncomfortable!
