Hmm I wonder if women have less pfas in the blood because of periods?

I think I could show up at their doors and ask to stay the night in an emergency. They would clothe and feed me and let me cry on their couch. They absolutely will tell the other friends it happened though. My oldest friendship in the group is over 25 years at this point, and the other friendships have all trickled in, the youngest is maybe 6 years, and I only warmed up on one of the guys like 2 months ago.

Our politics aren't the same. Our religions aren't the same. Our morals don't align. One of them I hate. Some of them are kinda sexist. That's all I mean by low standards. That you can't kick your friends outta bed because you want to stick to your morals above having friends.

I think I was unclear. Mario is my favorite. I'm the plebian I'm talking about. I'm a gamer and Thousand Year Door on GameCube is my favorite game of all time. I don't mind a bit that they threw thunderstruck in. My dad was in the theater with me and my brother, and my sister, and my nephews. All of us are obsessed with Mario but my Dad and sister, and thunderstruck meant my dad and sister were enjoying that scene as much as us, even though they didn't get the more subtle Mario Easter eggs.

I think I was unclear. Mario is my favorite. I have been told I'm not really a gamer over it. That's all I meant. I'm the plebian I'm talking about. Thousand Year Door on GameCube is my favorite game of all time, with Stardew as a close competitor. A lot of my gamer friends are fine calling me a gamer but I've definitely been hate kept over these preferences.

Our friend group sits at around 17. It ebbs and flows with girl/boyfriends coming and going (though mostly all married now). I hate to say it, but the key is low standards. We don't all agree on anything. We don't all have the same hobbies or even sense of humor. But we don't kick each other out over stupid fights, and everyone is always welcome at everything. If you cut people out when they don't agree with you, or when they screw up, your friendships disappear. You just have to treat it like family.

Idk, I think the issue here is that Mario is for plebians. I don't know any "real" gamers who would answer a Mario game as their favorite game. Hell they likely wouldn't be naming a platform game period. Why wouldn't they throw in a song like that? Mario is fun for everyone, and it's one of the video games that isn't niche, has little to no barrier to entry and is just goofy and fun. Why wouldn't the movie just be goofy and fun?

I think Christopher Robin and maleficent were good. As long as they're telling a new story it's fun to see the old characters. When it's just the exact same plot but a little darker and live action over animation it's so dumb. Our CGI just ain't good enough to justify that.

They're remaking Moana already, and still a new movie, relative.

parents out there ... clue me in, but isn't this the pinnacle of irresponsibility, even on a cool day?

What she did is reprehensible, irresponsible, disgusting. That said, letting your baby finish their nap in a climate controlled car used to be very common. You could park down your driveway, leave the car on, bring in your groceries (and even put them away), and then get the baby out, but now able to give him your full attention. It's not acceptable to do that today. I have spent so many many hours in my driveway letting my baby finish their nap. Apparently if you remove the car seat from the base the angle is more dangerous for them to rest at, but unbuckling her means the end of a nap. I have wished it was safe to leave her in there alone every time and if I was a slightly less informed mother, I probably would. I would say if the car is climate controlled it's probably the same amount or less dangerous than co sleeping and like half of parents do that (I do not). Parents make a lot of choices.

Yeah and that doesn't count the time listing the fake jobs, or scheduling the interviews

Wait am I confused on what an inner monologue is? Is it different from a train of thought? Do I just think I have one? Do people have a non metaphorical inner monologue where they physically hear thoughts? What percent are they in control of the thoughts?

If your mind wanders, isn't that the inner monologue?

Honestly good you got out. I still think about some of the darker parts of the books. The older and more aware I become the sicker they make me feel.

Yeah, or that it wasn't even sneaky, they just all agreed a couple of those episodes up front would broaden the appeal, and felt confident people would stick around once they got attached to the characters and into the sci-fi

I hear you, but if you want the cleaner to deep clean, you gotta surface clean. Or just pay for twice the time.

Sauerkraut and a bit of ketchup. The bun ends up tasting super sweet in contrast. YUM.

Yeah! I'm barely able to get mad about this with no information!

I don't know anything about tech. I don't want to contribute anything to AI, but I'm afraid I'm going to brick my pixel if I install any of this. Here's a question. If I let them steal my info, does that hurt other people, or just me?

It's seems like you're saying society and a child's parents are equally responsible for the child. A society is, of course, responsible to it's individuals, but are you actually saying you think it is a common belief that society and a child's parents are equally responsible for that child?

Lots of people warning you about alcoholism. Idk. I drink coffee strategically every day, and that's a drug. But also yes, I sometimes drink alcohol strategically. If I know I'm going to hang out with my sister who I love but disagree with on many many things, i have a drink or two. I try to dull my brain just enough that I am too slow to get offended at every single thing (or just don't care to, maybe?) in the end, we have a great time, I don't get all debate-ey with her, and instead just appreciate the good things about her. We don't see each other that often so I genuinely don't see any danger from this coping mechanism.

Left is the word that indicates that someone actively left this baby alone. They could have said baby found alone. Baby discovered. Heck, baby alone for days after mother's death. Baby left absolutely implies it is the doing, or fault, of the person who left the baby. The person who is responsible. Now who will society assume is responsible for a new baby, but the mother?

Even you. You said, hey we could just as easily blame this on society as on the mother! No mention of the absent father.
