I'm with you on "this too shall pass". My family uses this like it's their damn catchphrase and while I'm sure the intentions are good, sometimes I would like validation when I complain about my life being a shit show, not just an idle 'this too shall pass'. Might as well have just shrugged and walked away.

Hmmm, while I see your point on the phrase, my friend group and I only ever use it on subjective things. Like orange juice or chocolate milk being better, for example. If we're both arguing (in a fun way) and have no good points to change the other's mind, then we agree to disagree. Haha

Yes! Absolutely. There were so so many different kinds of all different shapes and colors. They're so gorgeous and some were so so big. That's great for your wife, I'll bet that's fulfilling <3

Ah! That's really cool that he replied to you!

I have a difficult time reading and Fool is one I return to often and read from front to back. It's definitely my favorite of his so far, but I haven't read too many others.

There's one where someone asks him how to start a metal band(?). Gotta be ugly or else hot glue cornflakes to your face and use words that start with 'DE' like decrepit or decompose. Except maybe...

Fool by Christopher Moore

I just utterly adore this book in every way. I'm sure it has problems but I am a shallow reader, so it's fine for me.

Touching the Void

It's a wild ride that showcases just how strong humans really are. Definitely worth a watch!

In 1985 two friends, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates, set out to climb Siula Grande in Peru via the West Face, a hitherto unaccomplished feat by any climber. After a tough ascent they succeed but on the descent they run into significant problems. Soon they are both in dire danger and the chances of surviving are slim.

I've been casually looking at the ioniqs - is anything in the interior intrusive? I have a problem with EVs having massive screens or way way too many buttons.

Maybe it's just my personal era, but MSN/Messenger was used solely in the group I grew up around. With maybe an addition of trillium eventually

What are you using for the posts? 2x4 or 4x4?

I saw it was from scraps mostly, but how much would you estimate this to cost vs a store bought tree?

There's probably a ton of decisions that I could change, but one of them would be not to join the military and to go to college instead for meteorology. I don't know where I would be now, maybe in debt and stuck, or maybe really enjoying a career in a field I love. Regardless, it would be interesting.

Otherwise, to not accept the proposal from my then boyfriend. Had we broken up, I feel like I would have figured out my sexuality earlier and potentially been happier. But instead, I'm facing down a divorce and restarting my life all over.

It's where I go to waste time. Sometimes I learn something new, sometimes I have an existential crisis from an interactive plaything, sometimes I build sandcastles and burn them down.

That's what I came here to say as well. It's so well done and it hits in such a profound way.

Have you read any of the short stories on the game's website? I highly recommend it. Catherine's is so sad and it really gives a ton of insight into what she went through.

What is it about the Long Dark that's stuck with you?

Sweet potato fries. Or overly orange fries for any reason (sometimes the frying just seems to make them orange, especially curly fries?).

Was youngish, friend took me out to lunch and I had a meatball sub with sweet potato fries. Yum yum. Until, of course, 3am the next morning when all that came up and was orange and potato-y. I refuse to try them again to this day. Although I love sweet potatoes, lol, just not sp fries.

Not too much of a rabbit hole, but it's fun to waste some time on some small thing here and there. I find a lot of fun or weird stuff there and I love it.

• The deadlights in Stephen King's IT. ::: spoiler The scene where the turtle is dead hits me right in the existential dread. spoiler :::
• SOMA. There were sections in the game that were scary, but the entire concept is really a mind melt. It's not like it's not a common theoretical question, but going through it step by step is another thing. And if you go to the home page of it and read some of the short stories, it really adds to the whole experience.

I'm not sure about "expensive", but it was priceless.

My mom had a really gorgeous piece of petrified wood about the size of a cup coaster and as a young kid I was obsessed with it. So one day I broke into her jewelry box where she kept it and stole it to bring to school for show and tell. Everything was fine until I was getting on the bus to go home and I tripped with it in my hand. It shattered like glass and so did my poor little heart.

I remember crying all the way home where I tearfully confessed to my thievery and apologized up and down to my mom. She honestly wasn't very angry, and was a lot more understanding than I thought she might be. I don't remember what happened to the wood afterwards but I don't remember seeing it ever again so I wonder if she trashed it? It was so beautiful, so that would be a total shame.
