I really don’t like Newsom. He comes across as a politician that isn’t motivated by a sense of public service, but instead someone who’s just in it for the fame and power. And I just don’t trust anyone who spends that much time on his hair.

It’s true. I teach college kids, and a couple of years ago my class was taking a midterm. The room didn’t have a clock so I put my watch on the document camera display so they’d know how much time was left. A girl in the front row asked me what time it was, because she couldn’t tell time. After she turned in her test, thinking she must be kind of embarrassed about this, I told her I’d be happy to teach her how to tell time. She gave me a look like “ok, boomer” and said no thanks.
Facebook, 2004. Gmail, 2005. Still use both of those accounts.
Fellow teacher here! During my first 5 years or so teaching, I was so sensitive to negative feedback. Comments were overwhelmingly positive but I’d really wince at negative comments. I’ve grown a thicker skin since then, and more importantly I’ve come to believe in myself and I know I’m good at what I do. So, experience and confidence.
The only place I’ve seen that is screenshots of clearly fake Instagram account bios.
I think it’s more that Trump behaved exactly as we’re used to seeing him. He lied, he was combative, etc but nothing new there. Biden’s performance was truly alarming, as in it wasn’t clear if he’d even be able to finish the debate. I agree that Trump should be raked over the coals daily by the media because he’s talking like early 1930’s Hitler. But the level of concern over Biden’s performance is warranted, and I appreciate journalists not trying to downplay this.
I sat here and thought about it, and I truly think I’d go to the dollar store, buy a few cheap water guns, and have a water fight with my sisters and their kids. Remember how fun water fights are??? Even those cheap little water guns; doesn’t have to be fancy. Leftover money would go to popsicles.

Context: I’m pushing 40 and didn’t play video games between SNES and Switch.
Honestly, spend time with my family and pets. Enjoy nature. Have a big party with my favorite people where I tell them how they’ve made my life so wonderful.
My dumb ass interpreted this as they found a window pane from a house flying through the air at 13,000 feet
The full article mentions the child had been placed there by a “court decision” so it sounds like the parents may have temporarily lost custody.
Moved out of a drought/fire prone area and to a more climate-stable environment with tons of water. Bought a plug in hybrid. Work from home so no commute. Reduced meat consumption. And chose not to have babies.
Or, the window of habitability on Mars was much shorter than on Earth, and there just wasn’t time for complex, multicellular life to evolve. On Earth, life existed for billions of years before multicellular critters popped up. I think one day, a rover is going to turn over the right rock and we’ll see a little smudge of fossilized algal mat. But I am an optimist.
Same here! I think I had over 400 hours on botw. Now onto totk, and loving every minute. After reading this thread I just told my husband he should be thankful I’m not into WoW.
I don’t anymore. I have all my boosters, and I live in a rural area where there are rarely crowds anywhere I go. I also have gotten over a lot of the fear I had pre-vaccine. I had covid for the first time in January and honestly I was relieved that it was very mild. Thank you scientists!! And I still have my stockpile of masks in case I ever need to leave the house if I’m sick.
That’s so scary. What was the cause? Are you doing okay now?
Brave Little Toaster is a masterpiece!!
That is really sweet. In the past, I’ve thought it was a little weird when adults have security blankets and stuffed animals they sleep with, but you are totally right that it shows their humanity. Everyone has a need to feel safe, especially at night, and if that comfort comes from a stuffed animal, so be it!
Former Californian myself. It could definitely be worse! Could also be better. I miss Jerry Brown.
