I have this recurring theme in my dreams where my grandfather is there. I ask him, “aren’t you dead?” And, he says “no, no, the doctors got that all wrong,” and he laughs. Then I say “oh yeah, I forgot.” And we just keep on talking.

Anybody know why he puts a comedic number of oversized hair clips in his hair? I figure it must be some sort of running gag.

Cheerwine Zero exists. It is a black cherry flavored soda. Idk if it is available outside of the SE USA, where I live. Wikipedia says “It has been produced since 1917, claiming to be ‘the oldest continuing soft drink company still operated by the same family.’” So, maybe less evil? I do know it tastes quite good.

SHHH! Don’t tell Gnome that there are options other than 100% and 200%.

I’ve heard electric kettles are slower here because of the limits of our electrical system. I do have a kettle for the stove, though. I also rarely drink tea.

I don’t know. I actually hate feet, but I get the content sometimes in my feeds. Hopefully someone else will come along and answer you.

If you’re a man willing to make gay feet content, then your feet just need to be sweaty or dirty, not sexy. Hairy helps too.

I’m sorry you’re forced to live with her. I’ve been there. You aren’t alone, and you are stronger than you think.

Here’s a prayer/mantra/whatever that has helped me:

“May we be victorious over our fears. May we be happy without hope. May we be of benefit to all.”

You don’t have to be like her. You aren’t her. You are who you are despite her, not because of her.

That’s what I thought as well! Not the Knoxville one. Must be one of the other locations.

More like Mew-dita, amirite?

OP didn’t say they were unattracted to them either. And if you saw my advice as anything other than a joke, that’s on you.

Telling someone you are attracted to them and asking them out is not sexual harassment. It might be against workplace rules, but that depends on the workplace. Having consensual sex with someone after a date is also not sexual harassment. It could be seen as “quid pro quo” if one of them is the other’s boss.

If at any point the person asks you to stop and you continue, then that is sexual harassment.

Tell him you feel shy around him because you’re attracted to him, and then ask him out on a date. Either he’ll leave you alone or you’ll get some. Win/win

Put the same text in 6 different languages (maybe: English, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, Russian, Arabic, and Bengali to get as many scripts as possible?) on each side of the cube. Be the Rosetta Stone of the future. Be sure to get a native speaker to look over each text before you comission it.

That should be enough work to discourage you. :)

I got a better paying job. Pretty much every aspect of my life has since improved.

My husband has had an MSI bravo for a few years. Uses it constantly, and it’s great. No issues outta it whatsoever. However, he does not use Linux on it. He prefers to dual boot and the SSD is a little small for that (if you also want to install games).

Or as Daria said: “On second thought, hell is myself.”

How much RAM do the systems have? 8gb? The delay may be in the system making room in ram for the program. Win11 is so ram hungry. It’s stupid.

Disabling JavaScript through ublock origin also does the same (horrible) thing, frequently.
