Thanks so much for this post! ❤️

I actually did get good at it and even experienced the same via masking. Unfortunately, masking and perfectionism are not sustainable over a whole career and what sucks is that the teaching field tries to (in my experience) keep people within the education discipline via guilt and a lack of training outside of the classroom.

Anyway, I don’t totally regret my career but it’s time to move on. Thanks for the good wishes and response, friend.

I’m trying to get out of the field but it isn’t easy. I chose the wrong career 😆 🤣 😂

Those interested: Erika Lust is a fun site. It has more ethical porn that you don’t have to wade through weird crap for. Well worth it IMHO

Jackdaws?!

Lmao hot dogs and miracle whip name a more wholesome and totally socially acceptable combination that I totally didn’t miss

They’re just eating hot dogs perfectly normally and enjoying sugar. Get your mind outta the gutter

Not OC but the idea of making someone feel good makes me feel good. It’s like double the dopamine for me.

I could totally see being grossed out by it when I think about it logically. In fact it is gross when I think about it logically.

This is my take too. I gave Starfield a chance and I should have just gotten Baldurs Gate 3 that weekend instead.

What’s worse is how they dug down into qualifying why it sucked and their nightmare of a PR response. It fucking sucks though too. I want them to be good.

And it definitely wasn’t Russia until the expansions of Peter and Catherine.

That said I blew air quickly through my nose. I just wish it were more historically accurate 🤓

I use crumpled up paper at the bottom of mine. Oxygen and the chimney do wonders to get it started. Living in the suburbs I’m always grossed out when I walk by an outdoor BBQ and smell lighter fluid.

I also love Alton Brown and there are other videos that will teach you how to do a lot on a simple Weber style kettle grill.

Also: once you get other accessories like pans to hold and divide the charcoal for indirect heating then you’ll even open up more especially if you have a thermometer in the grill. While keeping it as low as a smoker isn’t easy it’s not impossible and I’ve done some great pork and slower cooked meats on mine.

Also with charcoal you can get creative and use basic smoking to elevate your game.

Also don’t light it with lighter fluid, a starter chimney is the way to go.

Pros for charcoal: you get to drink beer, play with fire, and grill and get credit for it.

Pros with propane: king of the hill and it’s easy to clean up

Thanks, dad!

😆

Good luck! I need to do that with running more.

Not really. Bathing in the 17th century was more common than a lot of people realize. Check this link out for a historian that argues this in an article: https://frockflicks.com/the-gross-18th-century/

Chat GPT predicts one of the kids will…

…get physically pulled into valves code? Not sure how that happens lol

🎵 One clicked on files they shouldn’t dare Now lost in code, they’ve disappeared in air Gaben warned, but they didn’t heed Now in the depths of Steam, they’ll forever plead

🎵 Oompa loompa doompety dah If you’re not careful, you’ll go too far Respect the rules when visiting Gaben’s lair Or vanish forever, lost in Valve’s software!

Nevermind it works now! For me it would load then show a broken icon

It only momentarily loads for me. My guess is they are limiting its bandwidth(?) I could be wrong.

Well AI has peaked. It’s been fun but I can’t imagine anything better.

You all are so weird. I love it.

Idea for an Onion article headline:

“Anxious man from Ohio catapults humanity toward unending climate doom”

Tagline: “Shaker Heights resident Stephen Brown, a 32 self-described “yuppie liberal” living with his girlfriend in the popular Cleveland suburb was the human who tipped the scales when he forgot to recycle last week, an anonymous source at EPA tells us.”
