No love for Seattle’s mayor Katie Wilson

Ive been an Ubuntu user for going on 4 years now. I didnt want to switch, but this will make me do it.

Agreed. The promise of AI when I was younger (80s 90s) was it would do all the jobs no one wanted and we as humans could focus on arts, entertainment, and leisure. Somehow along the way those got crossed.

Ok that makes sense. I thought maybe I wad doing him a disservice haha

I have never bathed my cat. I always assumed he did it fine himself. He doesn’t stink and rarely goes outside. Am I missing something?

When I was in high school they still delivered newspapers to machines near bus stops. Sometimes I would drop a quarter in to get one so I had something to read on the bus. It was mostly for comics, sports, and current events. When I was done I would leave it on the bus or drop it off in the hallway at school.

Gone are those days.

It’s sad that we live in a world where this occurs.

I lay the blame squarely at the feet of corporate social media.

Another prison system?!

I start with a pair of good insoles, then as those wear down I buy another, and another, and so on until the shoe tread wears out or holes appear in them. If you buy some of those magic eraser pads, you can usually keep the outside of the shoes looking relatively new for a lot longer as well. I have some shoes right now that are going on ~1.5 years and I’ll probably get another 1.5 out of them.

Pro-tip: don’t buy the cheapest shoes you can if you can afford it. I used to buy $20 skate shoes and they would wear out in less than a year.

Well said. Focus on what you can influence and realize most things are outside of your control.

Dude not cool

Yeah when I read that I knew it was only a matter of time before something like this happened

Check out the Fever app for local date night ideas. I have found a few fun things like candlelight music, dining in the dark, escape rooms, etc.

Check out Everout for local things like comedy shows, book readings, events, night markets, and other things to do that sound interesting to you. Actually commit to going to one.

Write notes. It sounds corny, but it takes 5 minutes and means a lot, even if you’re a rambling mess. Tell her how much she means to you in physical writing.

Find a new meal recipe that sounds good to you. Make the food, get some wine, and ask her about something she is interested in. Listen attentively, and ask questions.

I struggle with ADHD as well. I am always thinking about something else. I am not an extrovert. These ideas are things you can do with your partner, or any new partner/friend. When it comes to whether you should separate, that’s something only you can decide. If you want to make it work, it does take effort - a relationship is a two way street, or a dance you can’t do apart.

So what about France and the UK? They have nukes as well.

We don’t have too many more years before this is common throughout the globe. Remember that this is a canary in a coal mine, or the first domino to fall. It is not going to stay exclusive to this lake, this country, or this hemisphere.

I’ve gone through the stages of grief when it comes to climate change more than I’d like to admit. I wished the evidence I saw was wrong. I hoped the predictions were incorrect. Yet here we are, watching river dolphins boil alive and people saying, “huh, that’s weird. I wonder why that happened.”

I’d give it a try

That moment of clarity

This TED talk discusses basically that topic

Also if you think you are alone in having problems with pornography, Terry Crews admitted it almost destroyed his marriage

I struggled with it for years and finally was able to quit watching it. I think porn is fine for most people and masterbation is normal, but I personally had problems controlling myself. I still wank it, but do so to my own imagination.

I’m curious if you’ve seen this TED talk and what you think of it. It’s an interesting argument that while our brains can handle porn, excessive use can cause behavioral changes such as preferring porn over a real partner.

A lot of speculation on your part without any evidence to the contrary. If you want to engage in good faith dialogue, be prepared with sources and not personal opinions.

Also your username in itself is a reference to white nationalism, so…
