That’s impressive as hell! You should be proud!

I’m very sorry for your loss, but that’s a really great accomplishment. I’m glad you 2 were able to find each other and that you were able to learn from your experience with him. All the best <3

I wish we could use a “regular” app like Waze and start reporting “icy weather” as code for ICE. I mean we can, but idk how to make it a thing. Kinda how they were using “winter boots” as code on TikTok for ICE to get around the censors.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

It was a mini-series based on a novel by Ken Follett, but ‘The Pillars of the Earth’. It starred Eddie Redmayne.

Movie - Episode IV/A New Hope (if I had to pick a 2nd/3rd, in no order: Episode 3 and Rogue One)

Show - Andor

Novel - oooh this is tough! The Rogue One prequel ‘Catalyst’ was fantastic, as was the Rogie One novel. ‘Lost Stars’ was another good one set in the OT timeline. There’s also Rebel Rising, about Jyn Erso’s time with Saw Guerra, and Leia: Princess of Alderaan about teenage Leia a few years before ANH showing how she gets involved with the Rebellion. And of course the OG Zahn Trilogy plus the new ones that have come out.

I did read Alphabet Squadron and thought they were good.

Game: Old school Rebellion (PC), the Jedi Knight series, of course KOTOR, Galaxies MMORPG, Galactic Battlegrounds, and I’m getting into Battlefront 2 again. I’m about to start Outlaws so we’ll see how that goes. Oh and Jedi Fallen Order, but I haven’t played Survivor yet.

Star Wars and history - in particular how Lucas had aspects of Nazi Germany and the Vietnam War because he was an anthropology student and knew that empires most often fell from within.

So yeah I’m still on a big Andor high right now, waiting for some novels and other books to drop after that.

Other books I can recommend:

Star Wars and History

The History and Politics of Star Wars - Death Stars and Democracy (the author is a World War I historian)

Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy

Star Wars Propaganda: A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy

Goddamn this is so fucking true. Ugh.

Yeah, I wasn’t diagnosed until I was an adult and it never goes away (as in you’re never cured) so…I find it helps, at least at work. I try to take weekends off if I’m just chilling though.

This is amazing. It also might be a clue as to why American Nazis today really fucking hate drag shows.

Slim Jim’s. Don’t tell me what the real ingredients are; I don’t want to know. Leave me with this one last glimmer of happiness in my life.

I’m in a married, committed relationship with my partner because that is how we both decided this is the kind of relationship we want.

We also have friends who are married but see other people openly, and both parties are aware, and their additional partners know that they are married.

Neither one is right or wrong, it’s what works for them.

In this case, both people went into their marriage with the intent to remain monogamous. These two did not honor that. That is why is wrong - it’s not about seeing other people if that is the initial agreement. It’s the lie, which both of them did.

Hey thanks! That really helped, appreciate the time you took to explain it. :)

I never could see the bigger picture intended by these, but it’s very pretty on its own.

….that we know of. Could have used a surrogate.

I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App.

Translation: I’m so thankful that I’ve had the opportunity to devote 2 years of my life to a company that was able to build a product that could appropriately express its true love for Adolf Hitler.

Beaux-Arts, I just think it’s beautiful and intricate. I’m also a fan of Frutiger Aero and Googie mentioned already, which seems contradictory. Is there an architecture style that somehow combines Beaux-Arts with either one of those?

Thank you!

If this is real, please post the link!

No. I just don’t. I don’t know why…I just have never wanted kids since as long as I can remember.
