Pork.

Get two more and juggle them. Please post the video.

Yeah. If you’re into it, do it. Never turn down a chance to learn something or develop a skill. Pick your audience when using a skill though. You may be able to juggle 5 balls, but a funeral probably isn’t the place. Talking like a dude that stepped out of a time machine could be cool in a bar, but not so much if you’re giving a presentation on finance.

Yeah, fuck those people. Pain hits everyone differently. I had my ribs tattooed and yeah, it hurt but not like bad-bad. I saw a guy that was getting his done and you’d have though they were gutting him alive. Full on screaming. I have zero doubt it was real for him. That’s when it dawned on me fully that while there are some common things that hurt, we all have a totally different relationship with pain.

I did my shoulder skating a bowl. I went to the er then home. I can’t imagine getting back into a game afterward. You’re a seriously tough dude.

I once got to Sweet Frog 5 minutes after they closed. That was pretty bad.

Pain wise, dislocating my shoulder, elbow/top of foot/chest tattoos were about tied for about 9 on the scale.

Being sea sick is a misery I only wish on a select few.

Arch cramp or Charlie horse in the middle of the night is a personal hell.

I told my wife flat out to not talk to me about news or politics at all unless it was good news. It took a few weeks to get it to sink in, but she’s stopped. I do keep up in small doses so I’m not completely shut off, but I get headlines a couple of times a week, not dozens daily. Set a boundary and either she respects it or you tell her it’s time to move on.

I got involved with my hyper-local community. Like 3 blocks around my house. I walk my goats almost everyday and make sure to chat to all my neighbors. I tell and share good news with them; recipes, gardening, weather, Halloween plans, whatever. If they start in with doom shit, I just gently redirect them. “Yeah, I saw that but dude, I found a place down the street that has the best cookies.” Again, it took a bit but they’ve started to get it. We don’t have to focus on the shit. We can be aware of it but it doesn’t have to be central to everything. One neighbor and I are going to start a block party movie night. I do dumb thing while walking too. Pick up trash, straighten other people’s yard signs, move trash/recycling cans back to the yard side when empty. Little shit that just makes other peoples lives a tiny bit better. That stuff is contagious too.

Another thing that’s helped is my core friend group. We were already a bunch of nerds, but now we have like 3 rpg games going. Not all of them are regular, but it’s a way to tune out without shutting down. There is a spoken agreement that we keep real life shit out of our sessions and they’re just for unwinding and living a fantasy for a bit.

Honestly it’s surprising there’s isn’t an X in it. Maybe Elmo had hit a new stage in growth.

Can you please make us change to the metric system and dump dst first really quick though?

This is because he didn’t call No Tag-backs. Fucking amateur move.

Depends on the boss. I had a guy I worked for and we’d hang out off work. We’d go to lunch, some days go on hikes during lunch, and went camping a couple of times. He was really laid back, didn’t care about my hours as long as I got my work done, and we built him a ramp in his backyard. More than once, he’d give me a bonus, send me to the pizza place for lunch, then tell me there was credit for me at the local tattoo shop. We still talk about every week or two. Good dude all around.

My current boss is cool, fine to work for, doesn’t care about my hours as long as I get my work done, and we joke and play around. But I’d never hang out with him. Just too different a life style.

Past boss, no way. I didn’t want him having my personal mobile phone number. You need to call me? You call me on the work cell. I come in, I do work. You tell me what you need done, you give me money. Not a bad guy, but that was just work.

Maybe. Is he still brown though? Because, well, uh… Yeah.

You know how they told you to come to a complete stop at stop sings? Same thing.

I bet they both lose a Michelin Star for this.

The right can’t create. Nothing. No art, no music, no writing. It’s all garbage. I think it’s an empathy thing.

I have plans to start flossing regularly too.

I’ll ask for resources but she’s trained and studied to be a teacher for kids with special needs and that are neuro divergent.

Find an executive functioning class and take it. It’s, I think, becoming more and more a thing. My wife is starting to run them for local middle and high schoolers.
And YouTube is your friend. You can find help for just about anything. Taxes, find someone local or just pay a person to do them. States all have different rules.
