Seems like something along the lines of "everything is hopeless so don't bother trying."

My partner and I are like this. We've been together for 14 years and are legit best friends.

I have a feeling too many people paired off right away and decided their first serious relationship was the one, and never actually found an equal. Maybe they married more out of fear of being alone rather than actual desire, or they just can't tell the difference between sexual novelty and love.

Even a lot of my married friends start identifying more with boomer humor than romance after 2 or 3 years. Way too many communication issue, or ideas of traditional roles or how things 'should be' leading to resentment or exasperation.

Court long and marry late. And don't hide your real self when dating.

I may be missing something here

That was 17% of the total population. The price went up by 400-900%, and there was never a shortage. As usual, we got shafted.

I'm a 6'5 reasonably muscular male running two offices entirely staffed by women, except for two gay guys. There's no masculine competition, which is nice, and communication is much more personal. Due to my strict rule of not considering any of my coworkers potential partners, I make sure I'm as supportive as possible without being threatening to any of the girls or their respective partners. It's very interesting seeing how patients act towards me vs the other workers. They seem to treat me as an authority figure, and take what I say at face value, even if I'm just confirming what one of the women already told them. The girls have to convince patients they're professional and not jerking them around, where I can just state something and they'll believe me. I'm viewed as a scientist, and the women are viewed as salesmen or interns.

I mentioned my stature earlier, because it's led to me being the office protector. I will defuse situations, defend my workers, and even fire patients if they offend anyone else in the office. If a rep for a company talks down to any of the women, or only wants to speak to me, I won't do business with them.

Ive hired men before, but they never last. They either make the girls uncomfortable, try to start relationships, or try to butt heads with me as if they hold authority over anyone else. It's very easy to see how someone with less feministic views could easily take advantage of the situation I'm in.

Edit: they're always fucking cold though. 73 degrees is not fucking cold Donna. I'm wearing a suit. Put on a sweater.

There's a type of bacteria that infects caterpillars and produces a toxin that makes them lose all rigidity. The toxin is called MCF.

MCF stand for Makes Caterpillars Floppy

Is that legit? The thumbs are on the bottom, so that has to be on purpose. If he was holding something in front of him the thumbs would be up.

A search engine that filters out ai generated sites and content. Or just works at all.

Got medicated and suddenly started finishing everything. Built a streaming server, hacked my phone and TV, built a toolbench, lost a bunch of weight, started refurbishing antiques, started fixing things in my house, ran out of stuff to fix and started fixing my sisters house, became a reliable master at my office, started designing furniture, making toys for friends kids, rebuilding old powertools to fill a shop with, all since September.

Go to a doctor or folks. I didn't have insurance and the appointment and meds cost like 200$

They're little bits of debris and fibrous points in the gel matrix of your eye. They don't go away ever, but they float to a part of your eye you don't pay as much attention to. They tend to "go away" in people who consistently sleep on the same side. If you're a back sleeper, or move around a lot, they tend to stick near your macula (your main focal point).

When I run ocular scans on people I can see them drifting around. They're not a problem unless they're dense or dark, then they might be blood due to a retinal tear or diabetic retinopathy.

  1. If he's that good at building furniture, good on him, keep it up.
  2. Never would have been illegal to sell lies to poor people.
  3. Fuck rich people.

I've got a Sony android TV and it... Kinda sucks with the constant 'reccommended content's (ads). Every update just adds more scrolling shit I don't want to see.I want to know what different programs I can try out, and maybe a different os I can put on it. I'm looking at smarttubenext currently, and I want to know of other things I can use to customize my experience.

Any recommendations?

Hopefully Florida citizens. Bringing tourism money isn't a dunk.

I manage several computers, and every time I set up a new one I go through the same motions. Install w10, disable a bunch of shit, add the same list of programs, delete the same default apps, setup Firefox how I want it, run through Oosu, disable several services, and add some registry keys.

Is it possible to have a USB boot media that will do all the tweaking for me? As of right now it takes close to two hours every time, if could just plug in a drive and run the installer, it would make my life a lot easier.
