I don't think anyone said that nonviolent protest was safe...

There are "kinder eggs" here now, but they are in no way the kinder eggs that they have in Europe. They're the same brand, but with a ton more plastic packaging so that we don't get all confused about what's chocolate and what's not.

I dream of the day that we make America a place that OP would like to visit.

I don't think dying at 54 is ideal...

Probably true for a lot of people TBH

I didn't have a great mom. This is the first mother's day where my first instinct was to look around and see all the great moms in my life instead of just hating that my mom has a holiday. Like the one waking up next to me (who is not my kids' bio-mom but is nevertheless a great mom), my grown daughter who has fur babies, and the various moms involved in our kids' schools. There are lots of great moms out there.

Good guy Satan.

Don't worry y'all, I'm an expert at interpreting chart data. What this tells us is that although you lose your childhood resilience over time, your wall-punching resilience increases from your teenage years through the rest of your life. By 70, you're guaranteed to be indestructible when it comes to wall punching.

Sometimes I'll be kinda zoned out and realize I just signaled because the road curved.

This reminds me of the time that I learned that the correct answer to "what's up?" is "what's up?" At least in the context of that one coworker who would say that to me as we were walking past each other.

I've since learned to recognize these things as a "bid for connection". It generally has little to do with the content of the question or the answer and everything to do with relating.

So basically there is no wrong answer. And there are lots of good examples in this thread!

Personally I tend to answer "not much" as a knee-jerk reaction, but sometimes I'll remember to say something else after that.

It is so weird to mention Monsanto in this headline.
