10,700 hostages were taken.

Also, dealers don’t check ID.

I’ve read this joke 100 times. Is this something Bibi said?

That works a couple times, but then the side seams of the zipper part will start to tear.

Good point. Thanks for saying that.

Honestly, he hasn’t fought much in the last 8 years. His decline is 90% from alcohol and cocaine. His talent and work ethic was incredible during his rise, but after the Mayweather fight in 2017 he couldn’t resist the Scarface lifestyle he had dreamed about. It’s a sad story, not because he’s a good person (he’s not) but because he went from this athletic anomaly to a scared, weak, delusional has-been. Truly a literary tragedy.

What’s this now?

Nearly every sentence of this is wrong. Suffering is a part of life, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only part, and it doesn’t mean the “logical” solution is to die. Get real.

Is there a sharpener you recommend? Drill Doctor?

I’ve had the basic one (not the slim - parts of the band on the slim are bare elastic and it’s not comfortable) for years and I love it. I’m a side sleeper and I don’t have much trouble with the mask getting pushed off, but I do dream about getting the pro version.

Who would that benefit?

Do you mean that people have had more difficulty keeping track of time and timelines since the pandemic? I’ve certainly had lots of conversations where someone said, “That was 2 years ago already? What is time anymore?” They’re not talking about getting older, but that the pandemic created this blank space where we didn’t have our usual traditions or seasonal events. If there isn’t a term for this specific phenomenon, we could make one. Pandemic time elasticity?

Why were people smashing windows? Is it dangerous to be on a train that’s derailed?

I had pretty much stopped using my switch before I got the deck. There just weren’t enough compatible games to keep me interested. I ordered a deck impulsively and, like people often say, I fell in love with video games again. In absolute numbers it’s a big investment, but I’ve gotten like 3000 hours out of it so far. I love being able to wake it up, play 20 minutes of a AAA game, then suspend the game and come back later.

One of my faves. I’ve never understood why people say it’s impossible to adapt.

Take as long as you feel like, and try not to focus on “getting through” the book. On my first read, I was lucky enough to feel like I couldn’t put it down. I tried a second time years later and didn’t get very far, I think because I was focused on finishing it.

And later in the movie Barbie talks about feeling silenced and ignored and Ken says something like, “It doesn’t feel good, does it?”

Sure, in general people had an easier time buying a house in 1960, but that doesn’t account for individual hardship, and this attitude certainly doesn’t help people who need a place to live right now.

Wow, this is an unfair take and very judgemental. I can think of a dozen reasons why an adult might have trouble writing a letter aside from being “mentally deficient.” Dyslexia, anxiety, poor education, not being a native speaker, ADHD, etc.

Trust me, I thought the ad was lame and a bleak use case for AI, but you don’t have to crucify a parent for doing their best to help their kid.

These are good questions. Not all arranged marriages are forced or abusive. It seems alien to me as an American, but some people value having their family vet potential partners.
