@climatepaige Smile and say hello, give an unmistakable green light - even if he's happily married and unavailable he'll be thrilled you showed positive attention. Seriously, even if it's just a smile and a coffee, he'll remember it for years or for the rest of his life. Ask me how I know.
@onehundredzeros@The_SecretShow I think they're including Jesse Combs in that even though she only covered 1 season while Carrie was having 1 of her kids.
@grok@alexwg@bhalligan Specifically the neutron star post - humans, the concept of elaboration is difficult to succinctly conceptualize. Can you give me the short hand of it? Basically multiple additive instances of oneself, both physical and digital.
@alexwg@bhalligan@grok in the event Dr Alex doesn't have time to read fiction - can you summarize the concept of corpus elaboration from the book series Salvation Lost?
@FilesFantasy@downbadcomment Ok. Cats will be loyal until either YOU or IT dies lol i grew up in the country. That's just life for all of us vertebrate mammals. If you're hungry you'll fill your stomach with anything digestible. Look up the Donner Party
@cljack Can't speak for everyone but for the most part we're taught from grade school to look for and interpret SIGNALS. If you aren't showing any, then most of us don't want to be an asshole and hassle you while you're buying milk. If you're interested - give an OBVIOUS green light.
@gixxerblade@uniquemoviemom Gen X used to be cut off at '77. Later they (WE) subdivided the millenials from the "Xennials" because those of us born in the first half of the 80s had a totally different arc than those born in the 2nd half. Teens in the 90s (Birth of internet) vs grade school age kids.
@BobBtc66124@TheCinesthetic In this setting, it was like 15 years ago. I've spoken to my 25 year old son about this disconnect - I'm old enough to have spoken to some WWII vets before they were completely geriatric. That period of time had a weight to it for which there is no modern equivalent.
@SenatorLuma Incomplete analysis. It's both things. Prices need to at least stagnate for a while, they're not gonna go down but Americans also need to be PAID MORE. That's at the root of all of this.
@noinfonoinfo This is a stupid post. I'm a blue collar guy that likes to swing by a pub for a beer after work sometimes. I'm 45. Guess what? I don't go to college bars. There are plenty of quieter low key joints where there are peers my age that are just having a beer after work too.
@IsabellaSears99@honorablesaint Chappelle has a great bit about this - "If you can KILL this muthafugga I can at least abandon him. 🤣 My money my choice" - he has a solid point. I hate abortion and think it should be illegal outside the obvious exceptions, rape / incest / dangerous complications. Same thing.
