Young, Dumb, Young Dumb and Broke.
Dude. If you got into college you aren’t dumb, and the good job may help your mood (as my husband says, money doesn’t buy happiness but sure removes a lot of the stresses and lacks that cause sadness.)
My best wishes to you, and also to that weird vegan who is in a similar situation. I can’t say things will get better but will say things CAN get better.
Ooh a debutante. Does he get a fancy dress and a coming out party? How exactly do you get jumped into that club?
We had a poster with “nutrition per calorie” and collard greens were at the top, I imagine kale is similar.
But you do need calories too!
I think dal with greens in it is probably the most nutritious. Love soup with meat but beans, greens, and rice feels so good and healthy, and has most of what you need for a day.
If the OP is asking for the most calorie dense soup, I would guess cheddar broccoli or cheddar cauliflower.
I find it much more dispiriting to come home in the dark, than to get up in the dark. So yeah I like “daylight savings time” more in practice. People arguing noon is sun at highest point aren’t arguing that 6 is sunrise and 6 is sunset, we don’t use sundials anymore.
I’d be good with a world time. Just decide when a day starts worldwide and let local schedules be whatever works. So maybe the sun rises at 0100 in my longitude and so work starts at 4 or whatever. There’s no magic to the 12 being noon.
The unbrawlah. Any violence ends when you get within a meter or so of the umbrella when open. Not bounces off like a forcefield but like a zone of safety.
Most of my soups are of the Clear Out the Refrigerator variety, so all are inventions in a way, I guess.
But recently made a dal with red lentils, coconut milk, Hong Tsoi, and Berebere and wow it was good.
I don’t put tomatoes in salad or sandwiches (I don’t pick them out if they are in, but don’t affirmatively like them, texture and taste).
Onion and cheese are my non-negotiables in a sandwich. Pickled jalapenos or cucumbers can sub for tomato IMO. Fancy mayo can also be good for adding interest to a sandwich, or compound butter if you prefer.
For a salad, whatever the fuck you want can go in a salad! There is an Italian salad that is just shaved fennel, onion, oranges, and olives. I actually like it but my point is, if that can be a salad anything can. Also - if you like the taste of tomatoes but not the gloppy seed part, you can scoop that out of the tomato slices or just use the outside part and cut out the middle, like you would do with a bell pepper.
How do you feel about sun dried tomatoes?
I’m older and experienced and can say with confidence that no, most women are not into literal bodybuilder guys. Some, surely. But most? No. Ideal is in shape but not obsessive, bodybuilder looks obsessive.
And the wyvern is correct IMO it is the same as the absolutely jacked women. Most guys are not into bodybuilder ladies, probably for the same reason.
Fitness looks good on everyone. Obsession with getting big muscles, doping, extreme builds are not mainstream attractive. That has gone past general health and fitness.
I dunno. I bought a Honda new twice. Once showed up on the city bus and negotiated them down to a nothing down & low monthly payment that I could manage for 5 years (I am an accountant and first built a spreadsheet with present value calculations to figure out my target price) car is built to last 20 at least, I paid it off easily enough, then someone ran a stop sign and absolutely smashed it to bits, I took the insurance money as a down payment and got a better car new, same low monthly, paid that off years ago and have been driving it since 2014. This was mostly possible because Honda did a zero or 1% loan both times. Used to buy beaters but this has been so much nicer, and it’s easier on cash flow. I hope I can keep this one for as long as I need a car (mostly use the electric bike now) because it has all the tech I want but none of the tech I don’t want. Like at this point if I won the lottery I still don’t know if I’d want a car of today.
New car at today’s prices, and what they are, I kind of agree with you but used cars at today’s prices seem just as bad of a deal. And it was not always like this. You used to be able to negotiate, they had too much inventory.
Never. Once I realize I am dreaming, I can act on my own. I try not to disturb or actively control the dream world though, always want to explore it.
Why is she always standing in front of a fan? Does she carry around a wee box fan to blow back her hair?
Me too but that’s the smallest part of parenting, right? I felt so good pregnant, no migraines, insane sex drive, so healthy and it did a lot for my relationship with my body in general. Labor not bad,the baby coming out is terrible but didn’t take long, but after that it’s a very long road. I did love raising kids, but don’t think that has much to do with easy pregnancy.
This was my mom. I luckily had my easy babies after the more screamy one, but my mom had 3 kids, said she was always so judgemental of parents with kids throwing tantrums in the store, she knew she was doing something right because we didn’t do that, and in her words:
"For my hubris, God sent me Janet "
And she figured out that there are kids who scream in the store no matter what you do.
I know Lemmy is aggressively anti-child for some reason, but parenting was by far the best work I have ever done. Kids are work but such delightful little people.
Also my mom - I didn’t remember her being affectionate with us, she did a good job of clothing, feeding, educating us but wasn’t ever really, I dunno, Mom - like? I asked her about it once and she said "I don’t like little kids " and I was like WTF you had so many kids! And she said “well I like you all NOW, I knew you would grow up and become people.”
I have 2 at a time, and yes it’s so I can coordinate the scents with perfume.
I’ve been to England and Scotland, and agree with you, this was in the 1980s and their idea of a dangerous neighborhood cracked me right up. London had no areas equivalent to what counted as a dangerous area in my city (though we have made great strides in the US since then in reducing violence, believe it or not. And in my city even more so, we went from so rough to relatively safe).
I don’t think I would have called it free-er though? Safer for sure though, and healthcare so much better.
Are you kidding? 57 is interesting. From Wikipedia:
57 is semiprime, a Blum integer, and a Leyland number.[3]
The split Lie algebra E7+ 1 / 2 has a 57-dimensional Heisenberg algebra as its nilradical, and the smallest possible homogeneous space for E8 is also 57-dimensional.
Although fifty-seven is not prime, it is jokingly known as the Grothendieck prime after a legend in which the mathematician Alexander Grothendieck gave it as an example of a prime number, not realizing it was divisible by three. The same error was made by another famous mathematician, Hermann Weyl, in a published article.
This just came up today when I was talking to me husband but Jolie Lade - unconventional beauty, someone who is beautiful without being pretty or handsome.
Si, pero Ingles es mas popular.
I do see posts in Spanish sometimes, and there are all Spanish communities too.
I do see also lots of German on Lemmy.
I don’t usually worry about that. Most people need a little armor between themselves and the world and they will open up slowly as they trust you. A persona to handle daily interactions with others is not necessarily a bad thing.
So I think my line is drawn more at manipulative. I would consider someone too “fake” if they did it on purpose to harm others or help themselves at the expense of others. Someone who would act nice to you while trying to harm you. Most people, in my experience, do not rise to this level of fake, so, like I said, I don’t worry about it.
I don’t follow pro sports, sometimes watch the college teams or the international gymnastics amateur competitions. Occasionally a soccer (football) match of our not top division but good local team but not often. Just not into watching men play games usually. But stuff like gymnastics and ice skating is so entertaining to watch. Competitive dance too.
There really isn’t any value past entertaining you, right? If it’s not entertaining you anymore, the value is gone.
Oh I guess I forgot rugby. I do not follow it at all but find it fun to watch. And the college used to put the basketball games on their TV channel with all the timeouts, halftime, everything taken out so it was just st gameplay and I always enjoyed those too. So sometimes I do like watching men play games if they are all action and not too long.
