Me: texts every so often, putting thought into each message.

Friend: responds with “thumbs up” or reactions, but no words.

Me, after the 15th time this happens: ”Well I guess we’re done talking to each other.”

My favorite part is the bird sitting right underneath it.

I’m convinced anyone who says that either has a dulled sense of taste, or is confusing the texture for flavor. I could see arguing that they feel similar, since they definitely both have a soft texture. But in my experience, they absolutely do not taste the same. Avocado has a flavor, it’s delicate but it’s there. Clean penis just tastes like any other clean skin.

But not all clean skin is as smooth as a penis head. Matching texture for texture makes more sense.

… I’m gonna regret having this in my comment history, aren’t I?

I did the same with a mango. In public.

This is why I’m practically addicted to avocado sushi rolls.

I’ve come to enjoy it and use it regularly, but that’s because I’ve been working on increasing my spice tolerance through the past few years. Once upon a time, it definitely hit me too hard.

For me it’s: sensory differences + a European family background (I wasn’t exposed to much spice growing up) = incredibly low spice tolerance.

A note on the sensory differences, I ironically have a high pain tolerance (despite spice being processed as pain), extremely low tolerance for being tickled, and I find scratching to be a pleasant sensation. Sensory processing differences are fascinating. Brains are so weird.

My girlfriend’s dog managed to break into a cooler bag I had. What was he after? The plant-based butter I had in there. Bro destroyed the bag so bad we had to toss it out, and all because he wanted butter.

Don’t let anyone tell you it can’t be enjoyed on its own.

It’s true and I hate it

… is that the POTUS, for literally the first time in history …

To be fair, there are a lot of things Trump has done that were firsts for the office. I initially misread the headline too, simply because I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump did something absurd like replacing Noem with himself. Because he does a lot of absurd things that have never been done by a US president before. I understood it correctly after reading more, but if someone’s misreading the headline as something bizarre, it’s probably because every headline is bizarre nowadays.

Saying confidently wrong things based on feelings. Yep, that’s Trump all right.

I’m not surprised that feelings elicited a memory for him, but he lost track of the exact details. It’s absolutely in line with dementia. When I worked with dementia patients, a lot of them liked me, and when they saw me they felt better. But they didn’t remember who I was exactly, or what my relation to them was. I was often mistaken for a granddaughter, not because I resembled their grandkids, but because they felt warmly toward me.

The only thing is, Trump has always acted based on feelings. As a spoiled nepo baby, things have always worked out for him, so I doubt he ever developed a strong mind in the first place. The patients I worked with used to be sharp, and dementia made a marked difference in their decision-making. Trump’s still Trump, just more unhinged (somehow.)

Tbf there’s not much practical difference between the two.

I think about that one-off joke a lot these days. I was already an adult, but stating that Israel was a threat was still verboten. The tides on zionism have turned a lot in the past few years. Rick’s metaphorical dance around the topic, attempting to clarify that his position had nothing to do with Judaism but rather with the state itself, is a hallmark of the era in which it was made. I can’t help but wonder how that joke will be viewed as time goes on. Not that Rick would be proven wrong (Israel’s doing a bang-up job of showing he was right), but the “dance” around the topic will change as more and more people grow up with Israel’s threat being blatantly obvious.

Man, the downvote ratio really goes to show how many people vote without reading a post. I imagine a lot of them would agree with you, but they just saw the meme and thought, “That’s stupid.” Which is ironically a vote in your favor.

It would be nice if all my bills lined up time-wise. On the one hand, having them at different times means using different paychecks to cover them, so I’m not out a huge chunk of money at once.

But on the other hand, I never get that feeling of, “Okay, all my bills are covered this month.” It’s always, “Something else still needs to be paid soon… rent? No, I paid that two weeks ago. Is it my phone bill? Mmm nope, I still have time on that. Electricity maybe?”

Then once it’s all paid, the next month begins and the cycle goes on.

It never stops. 😭

Somehow, I never did that. Wish I had, that sounds a lot easier than what my family did. Though what we did was cool in a different way.

My older brothers built snow forts with stairs inside, leading to balconies and sled ramps on the top. They even put blocks of snow around the edges and put up a flag, resembling castles. My younger brother and I did grunt work - walking up and down the street, gathering and lugging snow to the build site. We all got to play in the end though, so we were happy to help. My older brothers always loved building things, and these forts were their collaborative masterpieces. Super snowy storms were the best.

Maybe he was invited, but the weather was too nice in Texas at the time.

people have this on their liver somewhat

Interesting, I’ve never heard that phrase. Are you a native English speaker, or was that brought through another language? I’m reminded of how in Farsi, the liver is used in phrases that most other languages don’t use it for. Like, instead of calling someone you love your 'heart", you call them your “liver,” but it carries the same intent.

Damn it, I went to flight school in that area, including using this airport. This means I might have flown over Trump’s house and not even realized it.

Well, at least now I have an answer for that “if you could go back in time and tell your younger self something” question.

Laughs in vampire

Amen
