I see beans. I updoot

I half thought this was archive.org they were blacklisting. Two whole different sites.

That’s really interesting! Looks like I’ll need to look into this more.

You know it!

Apparently it’ll kill off the bacteria that causes odors. Martha Stewart uses it.

To DJ Khalid this, here’s another one.

You can purchase wool dryer balls and use a lower setting in your dryer to keep you clothing fibers to reduce the amount of wear.

If your clothes have an odor, you can spray a cheap vodka over them to neutralize the smell.

I’m about 35 now. I grew up in America, but my family is from the southern Mainland. My mother too was a tiger mom while growing up, but my father was absent. I got to date in high school, while against my mother’s wishes, but at my age, I don’t really count that as seriously dating. In my college years. I had one major girl friend for about 3.5 years. When I left college, we had a horrible break up. I thought I found the person I wanted, but she definitely was not the right one for me. Those 3.5 years was almost like a dream until I woke up to world around me.

If you are looking for any advice, I would look for what you find important in yourself and want out of someone you are with. Have fun while you can, but don’t fall into a space where you are merely complacent.

It keeps giving.

Always updoot the bean

Funny thing, I’ve been calling him Manny G

There are two amazing super hero games that I would recommend: Spider-Man 2 and Hulk: Ultimate destruction.

Spider-Man 2 was easily one of my favorite games of all time. This game essentially set the bar for what a Spider-Man game should be.

Hulk: Ultimate Destruction was an open world game where you were the Hulk and did all the Hulk things. I can’t think of a recent game where you play as the green giant.

People love hot cakes!

Glad we’re updooting beans again.

There is a book anthology called Rogues, complied by Phyllis Eisenstein. It is a compilation of short stories from various writers across many disciplines. While there is a lot of different stories, they all come back to a character who is deceitful in character you can’t help but root for them a bit.

It’s a story within a story within a story. It’s like Harry Potter and Arabian nIghts made a super baby and it’s all narrated by young man who has done so much. Rothfuss does amazing world building, from different currencies, to how religion shapes a society, to little learned idioms. The main character explains a lot of his reasoning for thinking the way he does, but be sure to pay attention to choice of words our author uses. It’s an amazing ride the first read through, and you will find nuggets of gold and silver during your subsequent reads.

I hope you see you on the road to Tinue. It is the way.

Oh no, he laughed it off like water off of a duck’s back. At this point, I just think of it as a quirk of our relationship. I’m more willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, because when push comes to shove, I know he’d have my back. Shit can’t be perfect, but calling it once in a blue helps.

I’ve recently apologized to a friend of over 25 years. One day while we were playing video games, he was making fun of my name as he usually does, and I blew up at him, telling him I didn’t appreciate him saying these things for decades. While my arguments may have been reasonable, my reaction was purely based on my feelings at the moment.

One thing I’ve considered a few years ago was what was I trying to do when I apologize. Was it to make the person who I wronged to feel better, or was is for me to forgive myself? I still wrestle with that thought. I’ve forced an apology or a few in the past, giving them to folks who literally don’t want to hear it, and outcomes never go the way I expect them to.

Sometimes I think we need show ourselves the grace and patience we give to other we love and care about, but be mindful of the entitlements and boundaries we take or push upon.
