This comment really just hits every nail on the head for me. It could be that the ex is feeling bad for what happened, but wants to divert the blame/bad feelings onto OP.

It’s also rich to me when the cheating partner is ready to “put all the bad blood behind them” as if they don’t want to live in the stink of what they did any more. They’re happy now, why can’t you also be happy with them? Etc etc. As if they didn’t blow up everyone’s life with their choices.

For me, podcasts specifically about going to sleep to them trigger my contrariness too much to be actually relaxing. It’s gotta be on a normal topic that is just the right balance of interesting, but not exiting/engaging.

History typically scratches that itch for me. Dan Carlin’s hardcore history and the history of the English being the two goats that coke immediately to mind. Camp Monsters is also a great one; the rare fiction podcast that I can actually stand, much less relaxes me enough to sleep.

There are some truly terrible remixes on repeat in TJ Maxx/Marshall’s/Homegoods as well.

Be so serious, Mariah Carey’s is far from the worst Christmas song in retail.

Maybe I’m just tired, but I’m struggling to think of other uses in the kitchen beyond just a warm beverage? Maybe for instant noodles or warming a bottle?

You’d think, but unfortunately it do be like that for those of us with female phenotypes.

Nah, there are a lot of retail songs waaayyyy more annoying than that one that would just take its place. At least that one has some talent involved lmao.

Why are you feeling the need to have your protein shakes in secrecy?

He wrote this for himself in his Meditations. So he wasn’t telling this to anyone but himself, therefore not ‘gaslighting’ anyone. Beyond being a roman emperor, he is also a pretty respected philosopher, and that generally doesn’t happen without having something interesting to say on the subject.

Thanks again, Mitch

Idk, I think Aragorn is a great example. As is Samwise.

Women are not good for the first time giving birth to the bathroom lol

How exactly did Dualit shit the bed? Aren’t they still repairable and made in the UK? Sorry, I’ve been doing a lot of toaster research and have one in my cart literally right now, so it would be awesome to know if I missed something before paying $350 lol

Not everything Le Creuset. They seem to be very similar to other kitchen brands (kitchenaid, Cuisinart, etc) in that they make a few excellent products, but the rest of their line is overpriced stuff that isn’t as good as other brands you could buy. Their Dutch ovens are good, for example, but not their French press so much.

Bro I hardly see drivers look up from their phones while making turns these days, much less while stopping for pedestrians. It’s way more common to see fellow drivers looking down instead of up, it seems like. Sometimes I like to honk to get their attention.

Honestly, that’s pretty close to my reason. It’s more like “I love hot tea, and celebrities are a guilt-free source of it,” though.

It’s kind of a mutually beneficial relationship, in a way. Many celebrities (not all, the ones that don’t aren’t ones I enjoy hearing about because it feels to much like invading someone’s privacy) thrive on having their names constantly in the tables, and I get enjoyment from the schadenfreude. Kinda like pro wrestling, maybe?

Same for me, stopped doing it in high school ~2011. Felt weird and culty to me, so I sat for it. My critical examination only continued from there, and I grew up in a very conservative/nationalistic household.

So everyone should try not to worry about conservatives having all of the kids, lmao. Conservatives birth future leftists too ✌️

Same, I don’t think this is a Pennsylvania-ism

I’ll bring the pizza and some two liters! Who wants what?

The trick is that they are working another job, and their partner is probably working two as well 🙃
