Oh my God, you weren’t exaggerating.

😭

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

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!

Is anyone else completely not surprised by DC’s being “sub”?

I get the joke, and certainly not all self-help books are good, but also people are unique and at different places in their lives. With just a little introspection one can probably tell which book would be better for them. Maybe they say yes too much and would benefit from learning how and when to say no; or they say no to everything and would benefit from learning to embrace new experiences.

Or, you know, pick one up and thumb through a few pages.

I’m good now, thanks 🙂
