I try to generally push back my protection instinct with a “Give it a try, I believe in you!” On each success I readjust my “I’m not sure if they are ready for that” meter and look forward to the next hype opportunity. I’m guessing eventually I’ll get a “God. Stop. You’re so embarrassing.” Then I’ll know my work continues.
I did my normal amount of grocery shopping as I generally keep a decent food supply already. Closed as many blinds and curtains as I could to improve insulation. Kept the thermostat at the daytime temperature instead of letting it drop low overnight. And beer and snacks.
Dammit, I was coming to the comments to drop that one.
So a Catholic priest isn’t forbidden from consuming alcohol or other drugs, provided they were legal wherever he lives. However, he would get in trouble and perhaps defrocked if his behavior while imbibing did not reflect the morals and attitudes of the Catholic Church. I’ve seen in my childhood many a priest having a beer in the beer tent during the church festivals or enjoying wine or bourbon at a dinner with a church family. It’s expected of him to act responsibly at all times, so perfectly fine for him to do so if he can be a responsible adult about it.
I know that HubSpot has chosen to keep their internship program intact for a similar reason.
Tacking onto to that. I’ve read that historically things get worse not better in a power vacuum after a supreme leader’s death. As Putin isn’t going to relinquish power prior to his demise and he has such total control over Russia, it’s going to get worse not better once he’s gone. I can’t imagine there’s a secret pro-democracy figure in the cabal that can wrest control of the military and state to transform Russia in the next era. It’s likely that the next leader is more antagonistic towards the west as they try to consolidate power and quell domestic unrest by asserting that “external forces” are oppressing Russia. Regime change is going to be destabilizing and dangerous.
Destiny 2 has some fantastic pieces. Deep Stone Lullaby, Journey, Aethenasia (sp?) to name a few.
Win11. If my games (looking at you Destiny 2) would support anti cheat on Linux I’d be gone.
I get more crashes than I’d like in the Word program (whatever it’s called) so I wish it would stabilize there. But with frequent saving and auto recovery I don’t usually lose anything. Just a nuisance I’ve adapted to in the spirit of open source.
Well I think it’s gonna be awkward no matter what, but you’ll have to push through regardless. (If you approach with love, you’ll do fine). Probably a good time to discuss what’s also happening to girls and begin the rolling conversation about developing healthy and consensual relationships with love interests.
And deodorant. Just because he can’t smell it or doesn’t mind, everyone else can. Teens are stinky! Good luck!
Right! Ask for an outline of a cover letter and let your voice compose it. As someone that went through the hiring side of it for a smaller company, wading through AI slop is pretty frustrating. Also having gone through a job change in the recent past, it can feel like an uphill battle to keep filling out applications ad naseum. In the same vein, do you want to work for a company that happily misses good candidates through bad ai filtering? That speaks a lot about the organization right there.
Oh the organization that you can do. A proper way to spend en evening.
So would you say then that the subgroups have organically settled into regions that align with their ideologies or rather are perhaps an influential voting bloc that influences the overall swing? However, I see your point that “Asian men” encompasses a larger cultural diaspora than the other demos illustrated here.
Interesting that the Asian men seem more closely aligned with the regional split of the whole country and less so on an ideological basis.
I second the one about learning the rules of DnD. There so much extra stuff you can do like throwing things or magicking yourself around that I didn’t know for a while. I use the wiki a lot to understand what’s available to find in the zones, but avoid using it in narrative decisions. I also save scum a lot so I don’t miss out on loot.
To be clear, it’s a tongue in cheek nod to motherfucker as well.
I know a pastor that will say “mother father!” in lieu of motherfucker
I read some wisdom once above a urinal that said, “if you loan someone $20 and never see them again, it was worth it.”
A “typo” in the joke
Well then, how is the picture selected?
