Absentee is the way to go! It’s so nice being able to fill out my ballot as I research the weirdly worded state or city ballot measures that were off my radar from the comfort of my own couch.

Yep. I know a guy whose dad was an engineer for Boeing doing something space related. He’s now a flat earther because his particular flavor of Christianity says so.

I’m the same way! I think it’s because I’m friends with enough full on extroverts that my social battery fills up without me trying before I ever reach the point of thinking, “Hey, I’d like to chat / hang out with someone. I should reach out.”

Right, I’d be down for a tofu sandwich but why like that???

I guess it depends on your definition of “good” and “sucks.” Salt and vinegar kettle chips definitely aren’t nutritious, but as far as my tastes go, they are fucking good and definitely don’t suck.

Upvoted for the tamagotchi / virtual pets. The other stuff, too, but mostly the virtual pets.

Yes, teachers are mandated reporters. They will be able to get the ball rolling.

Oh that one was was going on constantly the last month or so of school!

Good to know!

Cool, I’ll definitely look into those when I get a chance. Maybe Starbound to start with. Thanks!

I got into gaming late and don’t have a ton of time to play, so I’m not a super experienced gamer. I LOVE No Man’s Sky. Any thoughts on which of these I would enjoy most if I feel like branching out?

I was a bit older than their target audience, but it was one of my little sister’s favorites, so I’d catch bits and pieces. I also remember how popular Jack Russell Terriers were at the time. I got to help out at a Jack Russell Terrier dog show at one point, and that was super fun.

Any of these passive aggressive comments and in addition something for yourself. Because you deserve it.

I think it confronted some issues that many of us have been aware of for a long time in a somewhat superficial way. I also think that it brought some conversations into the mainstream that might not have happened otherwise. So I liked it.

Nah, Walter lives on the other side of town.

Someday down the line my partner wants to convert an old car into something like this!

It’s just a repost from AP. Here’s the original.

In addition to some of the other things mentioned here, I set my alarm early enough that I’m able to take my time getting ready in the morning. Having a little bit of quiet time to myself with a cup of tea really helps set the tone for my day.
