Unrelated: when did peach start signifying ass? It meant pussy when I was a teenager.

Girl I’m with you. It feels like they’re never really clean!

I always thought “Robin laid an egg” was wordplay for “Robin farted”, especially because it comes after “Batman smells”.

She looked so lost, it hit me like a gut punch

I think you replied to the wrong comment?

I don’t really enjoy the holidays. It’s too much stress, too many conflicting family obligations, too much effort dodging the religious aspects, too much forced cheer, and it all just makes me sad. Marginally I like putting up a tree, but after a couple of weeks I get tired of remembering to water it. I skip as much of the holidays as I can, and try to enjoy the small parts that don’t annoy me.

Yes indeed! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Haha we were all obnoxious young punks at one time. Probably why I love Authority Song so much.

I’m glad you like the rec!

He’s always had a big noggin.

Yeah they’re both in their early to mid 70s now. Both had music out in the '80s & '90s, and both embraced a blue collar vibe, albeit in different ways.

My favorite Mellencamp song is Authority Song

It’s Mellencamp

Ha if I keep buying perfumes I really will be skint! I’ll have to check out the Arabic fragrances, make my money stretch a bit further!

Yessss I would be so down for that!

Try like $200-300. Mine cost $286 because I needed one compatible with my septic system. Plus of course you have to pay to have it installed, including having an outlet installed under your sink if there wasn’t already one there.

But I realllly hate the drain trap baskets. I never want to be without a garbage disposal!

My in-laws bought a house from a guy who was sort of a germophobe, and he had installed hand dryers in all the bathrooms plus in the kitchen. And not the modem AirBlade (or similar) hand dryers, but the old kind that blew an insultingly lukewarm stream of air in the general direction of your hands for 8 seconds before sputtering to a stop. It was weird and apparently the wiring was a complete fire hazard.

IP law sounds so dry to me, but I love it when people are enthusiastic about niche topics like this!

Very cool! I think watercolor is neat because you can make really ethereal, abstract pieces, or you can make more realistic (which seems like your style, having peeped a few of your posts in that comm).

Meaning then you just pass through objects rather than collide? Or is it unable to properly calculate the incident & resulting collision vectors, meaning the resulting trajectories are nonsensical?

Not the same thing, but steganography seems pretty interesting too.

It’s where the partnership is mostly focused on the kids, leaving very little time for the parents to connect. I see this more and more with how heavily scheduled kids are now. Parents have to schlep them from school to sports to playdates to music lessons, etc… it seems so overwhelming. And people don’t seem to use babysitters anymore so it’s rare the parents get adult time together to go out on a date, listen to live music, go dancing, see a movie, etc - just be people in love together and focus on each other. I think time together without the kids is vital to keeping a connection with your partner. Otherwise everything is parenting and logistical planning. You need balance.
