What's the most comfortable watch you would recommend?

Oh yeah, I bet fabric would be nice! Leather, too.

Same here for metal and silicone. I tried fitbit a few years ago, but the silicone band and the oddly-shaped face just didn't feel right. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Hey, it's a fair suggestion. That's what I do most of the time, and it works just fine!

Oh, I've seen people wearing them "backward" before, but I never did try it! Thanks for the suggestion!

But damn, a pocket watch would be so snazzy. It wouldn't fit my usual wardrobe, but it'd be super fun to wear one while dressed up!

It's crazy how much names get garbled through immigration paperwork! My roommate moved from Africa (idk what country), and I've always known her as Ndeye (pronounced like "day" in English). Well apparently, that's not her "real" name! She told me that where she's from, "Ndeye" is a common title given as a prefix to a girl's name, and it means something along the lines of "mother." In her country, everyone called her by her first name. But when she moved here, on her new birth certificate they wrote Ndeye as her first name and her actual first name as her middle name. She told me she just decided to go with it. Ndeye is plenty unique here!

It's unfathomable to me that they're so careless with people's names (like in your story), and that for my roommate, the paperwork meant for immigrants has such a rigid US-style structure. I've never met anyone who was especially upset about their name being changed like that, but it seems super messed up to me! 🤷

Course, I guess it's a relatively smaller problem compared to the rest of the issues with the immigration process. Sorry for the rant lol.

Off topic, but yesterday I tried a tamale for the first time. Apparently they're a common Christmas food in Mexico, so my boss brought some to our party. The first bite or two were strange (as a very picky US-American), but then it was really good! 10/10 would recommend and all that

I imagine here in the US people would think pea puree was too much like baby food. Of course, if you've ever tried baby food, some of it is pretty darn good, so. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I absolutely agree with you. I do still laugh at the meme, though. It's not because I think my teachers were wrong for teaching basic arithmetic; it's just that "because you won't have a calculator in your pocket" turned out to be an ironically bad reason. 100% still glad to have learned it, though.
