Went out for KBBQ and had Cassis Oolong and soju all night and now making a Sea Breeze nightcap. Been in a big grapefruit mood, but didn’t wanna make another batch of honey syrup for Brown Derbies.

I’m not so sure I’d call myself a “tankie”, but I’d like a $12k new car and if it were an EV, even better. I recently paid more for a used car! Cars, like everything else, have gotten so stupidly expensive. It would have been nice to see one thing actually become more affordable because I know wages ain’t gonna increase accordingly for a long time.

The joke is that they’ve escaped or eluded capture, they can’t be “at large” if they’re in jail

That was a “fine enough” substitute before commercial egg replacers got as good and commonplace as they are now. I’ll still do it for some recipes as I like the added apple flavor and moisture, but I generally use Ener-G Egg Replacer for replacing eggs in a dough mix and maple syrup for egg washes when vegan baking these days.

This isn’t as crazy as it seems. In some bread and cake recipes, you can easily replace some of the oil with applesauce and have a successful bake. I’ve done this with muffins and banana bread to great success.

They’re still being foolish as you need some fat for most bakes to work and using apple sauce introduces more fiber, protein and water instead of fat, but it’s not a totally baseless substitution.

The Servbots, yes!! They were featured more prominently in The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, a puzzle/action game set in the same universe, but they are adorable, funny, and absolutely iconic.

I was too young to play through this game properly, but I had asked to rent it a few times because the art style was so charming and the world seemed interesting.

Maybe I’ll go back to it soon.

You know damn well that’s not what I meant and also that’s far too low these days, you should ask for more.

You have a great deal of value outside of how much money you make there are people out there interested in those qualities. I’m sorry you haven’t noticed them yet, but they are out there. Try to keep an open mind and an open heart and you may find them and they find you sooner than you think.

I’m a man, I’m 5’5" and I’m far beyond caring about my height. It bothered me in high school but I found out shortly after it really doesn’t matter that much if you carry yourself confidently.

That said, I’ve seen a number of other cis men find confidence in themselves by using short king self referentially and hearing people they want to date celebrate “short kings”, so it seems to be a useful term. I’ve also seen a number of trans men find it to be a confidence boosting term, combating the dysmorphia of their perceived height deficiency.

I’ll revel in such things with my friends for laughs, but, ultimately, it doesn’t do much for me, but I like seeing what it’s done for others.

Aren’t those subjective things? It’s easier to measure something like chess skill or whether or not someone can do complex math, but harder to quantify someone’s morality.

I certainly haven’t been playing as much since the debacle.

I suspect the PSN requirement was just put off temporarily and they’ll ramp up efforts soon since Sony recently touted their earnings to investors for the quarter, now they’re free to make mistakes and problems.

Superman. He just does everything and wins. Unless you show him a green rock.

It’s stupid. I don’t understand how it ever interested anyone.

The ones that go on a tad longer than you expect then pitch up at the end

Cis is a Latin prefix that is the opposite of the Latin prefix trans, so it makes sense to use it for people who identify as their gender assigned at birth.

Y’all need jug handles

From how I understand it, you dream every night as your body enters REM sleep, but you often don’t remember dreams. You can try and train yourself to better recall your dreams and in doing so you may find that you “dream more often”.

I’d say I have weeks where I remember my dreams, sometimes multiple, every night, and other times where I’ll go a week or more without recalling any. It varies on a lot of things. In particular, I’ll find if I stop smoking weed for about 4 or more days, I’ll start remembering dreams vividly and frequently, but that’ll lessen over 2 weeks.

I can relate with that. Most of my life I’ve thought I don’t want kids, but there are moments where I feel otherwise and I ultimately come to a similar conclusion.

That said, I think it’s reasonable to want experience more of life while you’re young and wait to have children. Settling down with one person is a big step and I think having a variety of dating experiences better prepares you for making that decision.

Edit: tho I think you’re right in your last paragraph when you say you should have added an lol or something else to indicate you weren’t being serious. It can be tricky to correctly interpret intonation over text, but, hey, every days a school day and maybe you two can reconnect in the future if you’re still interested.

That’s a bit reductive, isn’t it? One can easily be looking for a more casual relationship than the one this guy wanted and OP’s last line feels more like a frustrated lament than a staunchly held belief.

If sounds like you and he had very different goals in dating, so it’s probably for the best this didn’t work out. You’re young. You have plenty of time for dating ahead of you. I wouldn’t put a lot of weight on this.
