"I'll have you know that fluffy is part Pomeranian. Can't you tell from the constant, loud [yet deep throated] yipping?"

A bullet is technically not flying, it's falling while traveling really fast with style...

"What do you call the Beatles without Ringo?"

Pelvis Presley

"Thank you. Thank you very much. ...Giggity"

My experience has been more like:

"We've scheduled the wedding. Not only have I not asked her out, but the [potential] bride is guaranteed to be completely turned off by the whole idea. I won't know that because I'm not going to ask her opinion about anything until she ghosts me three weeks before the wedding."

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.

"First time?"

"Good boy."

Since you're already working in C#, an ASP.Net Core backed, with whatever database you prefer, will do what you want.

You could self host it, but I wouldn't call that easy. There are plenty of cloud providers that can integrate with your preferred git repo and really streamline the build and deployment process. I run a few applications as "Apps" on Digital Ocean. Once you get it configured properly, deployments are quick and easy.

Just want to point out that within Christianity, "young earth creationism" is a minority view that is held almost strictly by evangelicals. It is also a very "new" set of beliefs, only becoming popular after the early/mid 1900's. It's supported using a "literal" interpretation of scripture while conveniently ignoring the fact that Genesis quite literally cites two differing accounts of creation.

House. It's my own space and I can customize it in any way I want.

Mini split is currently in the backlog. It will be closed as "not planned" three years from now.

"Packard Bell Desktop Computer. 240 Mhz CPU, 128 MB Ram. Comes with Windows 95 installed. The sound card alone is worth $100. MAGA. Let's go Brandon. $1400. Will paint a custom 'TRUMP' logo on case for an extra $250."

Too bad I treat my own health the same way I treated my Tomagochi. I forget about it for days years at a time.

I wish there was more I could do. This is a terrible betrayal of Ukraine on my country's part. I'm going to call my representatives in congress today to once again voice my anger about the situation but on some level it feels like a hollow gesture since those three idiots don't give a flying fuck what I think.

Oh boy. You guys are really underestimating our (US) ability to work against our own interests.

Something for poor people to worry about.

I can think of two reasons.

First reason: because things can and probably will get much better. Joy in life comes from the little things. That sounds cliche but it's true. If I could talk to my 14 year old self, who was severely depressed to the point of trying (and thankfully failing) to take his own life, I would tell him about the next 20-ish years. Even though much of it will be hard, it will still be good. And he will grow in ways and get to experience things that he can't even begin to imagine. That's one thing I'm glad he failed at.

Second reason: because believe it or not, you will leave a giant crater in the life of someone (or multiple someones) where you once existed. My great grandpa hung himself in 1929. That's all I know about him aside from his name. I never met my grandpa (died of cancer) but I remember my dad telling me a little about the impact it had on his dad, who was about 15 at the time of his father suicide. Long story short, my grandpa basically stopped growing emotionally at 15. He was a teenager who was very suddenly thrust into the role of an adult.

I don't know what was going on with my great grandpa that led him to take his own life. I do know that what he left behind was a disaster. Including three generations of trauma, manifesting itself as a cycle of physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. He effectively destroyed his children who proceeded to pass that destruction all the way down to me.

If you've never watched Ted Lasso which I highly recommend, one of overarching themes is Ted's difficulty dealing with his father's suicide, which occured when Ted was 15. It's a light hearted show overall but there are a few scenes that really hit right in the feels.

Even if you don't have kids, there are people who's lives will be permanently altered for the worse by your untimely death. Some will blame themselves, wondering what they could have done to prevent it.

Nobody: ...

My dog: "MOTHERFUCKER I KILL YOU! I WILL KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND! HOW DARE YOU INTRUDE ON MY... oh wait. I guess that noise just came from my own butt and not some scary dog eating demon. Nevermind. My bad."

My other dog: "AAAAAAHHHHH! DONT HURT ME. PLEEEASASSSSEEE! IM BEGGING YOU! I HAVE A FAMILY! Oh. Oh, you're going to give me pets? I thought you were going to chop me to death with a giant arm shaped machete."
