I've read your comment and I'd like you to know that I don't approve of it.

You might enjoy HarmonQuest! Bonus fun fact: the DM was originally just an audience member when Dan Harmon came up with the idea and asked for a DM, but is now a regular cast member.

A while ago, Maze hurt her ear. Since then we've been giving her all kinds of medication. Obviously things aren't pristine, but she's doing way better and her wheezing has nearly disappeared!

My wife pronounces it three different ways, each of which she can support. I pronounce it one, but other than that it's the way I've heard it I can't support my pronunciation even after some searches. What's yours and why?

Last week, I made a post about a demon in my backyard at 4am.

For anyone curious, this is how it disguises its form during daylight. Pretty convincing and a lot less unsettling.

Jokes aside, I remember the PoM song being titled "She Fucking Hates Me," but according to Wikipedia it wasn't part of the title, just the lyrics.

I guess it actually was more mild than I remembered.

edit: Add a word.

My 5-year-old has set up a selection of large rocks on the railing of my back porch, which my kitchen faces.

In the kitchen, there is a small TV with a red status LED, which due to the window construction reflects twice.

As I naively walked into my kitchen, the only person in my house awake in the early morning, the rocks and lights lined up in an alarming way. I got quite a start.

(I know the picture isn't great quality ... I think the phone camera didn't want to focus on reflections. Also I zoomed in to hide my kitchen clutter.)

edit: Clarifications.

Do you want to live in the city or country? Either way, why? Is there a specific place you'd like to live?

edit: It's not a great picture, but I was trying to remove anything that could be used to doxx.

The cat pictured is Ripley. Don't tell her I told you.

You sound like you steal from the forest. Abhorrent thief.

Impressive that they were able to generate a pull request with blank screens.

While grateful for the explanation, I find myself no less confused.

This isn't exactly 100% relevant to your story, but it is related and an anecdote I enjoy sharing.

I recently moved to a small town and hired an electrician to make some changes to my house. After showing him around the house, we went to look at the fuse box to determine what changes could be made.

As we were looking, he said "I know those fuses are original." When I asked how, he pointed at the labels and said "because that's my father's handwriting."

Kinda cool to have a legacy like that. The electrician did do good work, so far as I can tell, so it was likely earned as well.

That sounds like the kind of thing that could easily, and perhaps should, be automated.

Plus it puts on a Santa hat around Christmas.

Can't say for Tobey, but apparently Daniel Radcliffe did deliberately do something very similar to stymie paparazzi.

edit: Spelling.

Did I misunderstand what "separation of church and state" meant?

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 71 points 1 year ago

I mean ... As long as communication and intent are clear in both directions, being willing to get married isn't a red flag. My now wife wanted to get married a long time before I did and made that clear. We are now happily married with a child and both happy with that development because she made sure I knew what she wanted and I only disagreed with the timeline.

If this post is true, I'd say it's a good thing, at least without any context. Now the poster knows that

  • if they do plan to propose, they don't need to worry (which should be a prerequisite to any marriage proposal)
  • if they don't plan to or hadn't even considered proposal, they can start thinking about that
  • if they don't want to get married at all, they can start discussing that with their girlfriend (and yes, get out of the relationship if their life goals aren't compatible)
