Cat: “I thought you said please TO bend”

From experience, we tend to use the same two burners, and one particular one, the most, by far. (Front left for us) After 15 years, the plastic on the underside of the original knob got worn and loose and almost broke. We rotated the burner knobs. The oven knob is doing the same thing, but it’ll need to be replaced or repaired. Like someone else said, they aren’t usually all metal construction, there’s plastic on the inside.

If I’m reading the hypothetical right, it’s saying what if in a year, the numbers were reversed… 323 $hootings with 69 deaths, versus 1 school shooting with 1 death.

Would gun laws change, would tax laws change? Etc etc. Would minimum wage change?

Purely hypothetical of course

Also, he has a lot of kids now… money tied up over inheritance squabbles and civil cases getting redistributed to lawyers and court systems. I imagine more kids will come out of the woodwork too claiming a piece of the inheritance pie

I would argue that people we care for are already under attack and dying… some of them directly because of bad policies, political and corporate.

I mean, Kamala is running on policies that would help the little guy. And she might lose to guy who SA’s women and said he could shoot someone in the street.

If she wins and we get a peaceful transfer of power, then I’ll have more faith in your dream.

But right now, it seems like violence is what the masses crave over social reform.

The fuck with this question. My youngest is barely 31. I guess I’m dust and fading memories. I will watch my anime and horror movies and shout at the clouds with an onion tied to my belt, fuck you very much

If you are in a relationship and that is your dynamic and you are happy with it, you do you. As long as you aren’t annoying other people.

My husband likes to ask questions during movies and shows. I had to talk with him on boundaries.

I don’t like to talk in movie theaters. People paid good money to enjoy the experience, including us. Screams, gasps, etc are fine. Reading subtitles to vision impaired people is fine. Dissecting what has happened to whom is not. We are there specifically to have questions posed and then answered by the movie itself, not by people in the audience. We can tear apart the flaws on the way home.

At home, it’s different, we can usually pause it, and I don’t mind as much discussing in real time. Unless it is clear it is about to be answered if you just watch for another minute. Then the answer is “just wait” and boom, story happens.

I don’t, as far as I know, have ADHD. I did not notice foreshadowing and such until I took an elective in college that broke all that stuff down for cinema.

Now that I know, I notice it. It’s like hearing the Wilheim scream. Once you know what it sounds like, you hear it pop up a lot. A Lot. I never noticed it at all before.

Same thing with Hero’s Journey in storytelling.

Once you learn to recognize these things, you can’t not notice them. Sometimes it ruins things a little, sometimes it makes them better.

If you want to know how to read the clues, watch some youtubes on how to spot everything. People love making videos about it.

Or, just continue to enjoy the ride, but stop asking for it to be explained. If you want the explanation either learn the clues or just read a spoiler summary beforehand. Don’t risk ruining it for someone, who overhears your conversation by accident, when they just wanted to enjoy seeing the story unfold moment by moment.

I stared at this way too long wondering what a Cheesy Poof on the sidewalk had to do with coffee.

In my defense, I’m scrolling before going to sleep and my morning coffee has long since worn off.
