I feel like this is the correct answer, meaning that it is a nice and easy to understand explanation of what is generally expected and accepted.

What I actually do is everything in my power to not be seen, but otherwise an enthusiastic “Hi! :3” without slowing down at all so they don’t think I want to actually talk to them, lol.

They acknowledged that Texas law allows lawmakers who are absent from the Capitol to face civil arrest, but they say state officials have no legal right to detain legislators who are already present at the Capitol to ensure they don’t leave.

Very normal country ya got there.

Solidarity comrade - the two wolves inside us are fighting each other 😅

I can’t tell if this is a brilliant shitpost reply to pretty good shitpost or if it’s a genuine reply to a pretty good shitpost that still manages to out-shitpost the original.

Either way, I’ve been fundamentally changed by this experience and realize how much more work I have before I can claim mastery over this art.

Yes, hence the title.

I wanted to sit and sort some beads but I kept getting distracted.

I’ve heard people saying cocaine worked well for them, even though you mention it wasn’t great for you. I unknowingly self medicated with waaaay too much caffeine and ephedrine in university.

I’m way too scared of the toxic drug supply to try street drugs nowadays. I guess the war on drugs is winning against me lol? If I was going to try street drugs now I’d want to have access to drug testing kits.

Happy birthday!!! I hope you were not forced into any unwanted interactions related to your birthday.

I’m vegan btw

I have no issues with drinking recycled water. I’ve even had beer made from treated wastewater. Never again! (Because I’m gluten intolerant.)

Sorry it’s not a useful suggestion. I don’t want it to sound like I do this at the same time or without absolute meltdowns and disappearing for months at a time either tho, lol.

The handy thing about group activity friends is you don’t have to put in consistent effort, you just see them when you see them! 👉👉

I like to volunteer. That way there is a built-in thing to talk about, and it’s generally okay to not veer off that too much? Pick something you are interested in 😊

There are so many different ways you can volunteer and many different activities. I’ve done things as diverse as the water stations at triathlons (standing and handing things out) to being on the board of a not-for-profit (lots of meetings), to serving meals with fnb (cooking and cleaning).

I also take classes, such as in a pottery studio.

All these are opportunities to meet people and be social but with no pressure. You know you have at least one thing in common! If you find someone you vibe with them you can become closer friends but if not you still make task-specific acquaintances.

Hello comrade 😊

Of the examples I gave pearl and coral are a hard no, but I was kind of surprised by how horrified I was at the idea of owning something with human hair in it. It made me wonder how other people draw that line.

I would also like to avoid bones, plz.

I think that’s my question, but I am realizing it could be two or more questions.

Does owning/using something that was part of a living being gross you out?

Either way, what do you consider to have been part of a living being? I think this is an especially interesting question if you do say it does gross you out.

If some things gross you out but others don’t, why?

How to do memes?

Step 1: cut a hole in the box…

Seriously, memes are just a shared reference. It can even be a shared reference to itself, like most copy pasta. It’s a way to feel included and share an experience, opinion, and memory.

If an individual doesn’t find a meme funny, they probably just aren’t part of that in-group and that’s okay. Not everything is for everyone.

Am I having a stroke?? I’m really missing where she entered canada illegally. People keep saying she did but I don’t think it says that anywhere. Can someone help me out?

My understanding is that she’s a NZ citizen, which means she doesn’t need a visa to enter canada.

Edit: canada sucks too and they absolutely detain children in horrific conditions for indeterminate amounts of time too, but people saying they made the states do the dirty work for them here, I don’t get it.

Rice (rice cooker or microwaved from the fridge) + frozen vegetables + hummus/canned beans/edamame + fridge sauce such as chilli crisp, soy sauce, sambal oelek, etc.

Hummus + crackers

Big ol bowl of lettuce, store bought dressing, a fuck tonne of nuts.

What permit to go to Canada?

Borders are violence.

It wasn’t again the laws of Canada for her to be there, but she tried to enter the US after violating the conditions of her permit.

I’m defending the existence of the border, but your take doesn’t really make sense.
