Oh snap

Oh snap
Here in Philly soft pretzels are everywhere, they’re a staple. I think usually those little hard ones are just a snack for kids?
I hear you, but no need to feel bad for her. I visit her plenty, and even if I find them a drag, I still do have long phone calls with her. As does my sister, as do my aunts, etc. She just has a pretty limitless appetite for idle phone chats and I don’t always have the time or patience.
I’m Gen X. I grew up with a landline and no caller ID, and if the phone rang you mostly just answered it, unless you were screening calls. Could be your best friend asking if you want to go to the mall, could be your least favorite aunt calling to whine at your mom for whatever her latest minor ailment is. In which case you’re stuck making polite small talk until your mom is done drying her hair or whatever.
It sucked a lot.
Now I’ve got a cell and caller ID. Unless I’m expecting a call, I never answer the phone. If it’s important, they’ll leave a message. Usually it’s not even a little bit important.
And my boomer mom just loves to call for a long pointless chat. If I see her name on the caller ID, I have to decide whether I have an hour minimum to waste because it’s never shorter than that. 🙄
In that case I’d wonder why he ever was a Democrat in the first place. I’m not sure how realistic a scenario that is, especially given the public announcement he felt the need to make.
I think Martha Wells really tried to make SecUnit genderless, but because the books are written in the first person by a female author, SecUnit ends up sounding pretty female to me.
I guess I mean I wish it would come from the pension.
I hope it comes from the police pension fund!
That woman is nuttier than squirrel shit.
I prefer cellular peptide cake with mint frosting tho
I mean SkyNet’s been self-aware for 26 years now so basically good luck to Bard, it’s a guppy vs a shark.
My thoughts exactly
Ugh I’m so glad Shapiro won
I’m from New Jersey
I was raised Catholic and the distinction was always made between Catholics and Christians. I didn’t really understand that Catholics were a subtype of Christians until someone pointed it out to me when I was a teenager - I just thought Christians was a catch-all term for non-Catholics that believed in jesus.
Same here. I’m in my early forties and retired. Small house, no kids, and we don’t carry debt beyond our mortgage, which will be paid off in 3 months. Not a fancy or flashy lifestyle by any means. It’s possible, it just takes sacrifice and living well below your means during your earning years.
