It’s really annoying, plus the algorithm seems really locked down. Between cutting the screen space in half for podcasts and audiobooks, and the narrower algorithm, I never see anything new to listen to anymore until I take extra steps to search for it.

Maybe someone can come up with some sort of brand to help identify and track specific people and their reasons for choosing to be concentrated

You have about two months to do that, then it’s banned and you’re probably burned at the stake

He loses faith in his life choices of treating woman as property

That’s too unrealistic. No one would believe that

It seems like you have a great opportunity for the long con here - something like the Superbowl community but for chickens

Sure I tell them they’re weird all the time, but in this case it’s just understandable compromises adding up to wtf

My ex’s father came to live with her. He doesn’t drink, is diabetic, and is having digestive issues. He also had a bad food experience involving corn so can’t stand the smell. My ex has banned soda to improve her health. I can be understanding of any of these, but it adds up to too much

Whatever I bring. Seriously, the ex gets my kids this year. Of course I’m going for them, but:

• no alcohol
• no soda
• low sugar
• no corn anything
• very little spice of any kind
• none of my family’s traditional foods unless I bring it

While they’re making my favorite pumpkin pie, somehow it can’t have any spices this year. Just pumpkin. So bland but might as well be mayo

I always keep Lunch in my backpack at my desk or eat in a cafeteria. The best way to be chill about a problem is to avoid having the problem.

Have you tried not having a pre-existing condition?

The stereotype is always a coal mining town. There used to be a mine employing many people, but now it’s automated or the mine played out

The town I grew up in was a bustling town with one dominant employer. When that employer moved out it left a big gap and an entire generation of younger people moved away

The town my father grew up in was never bustling. However it was a significant center of a rural area with many family farms. By the time I was growing up, those farms were no longer economical, so people moved away and there’s no need for a population center

A small town I used to visit all the time was once a bustling tourist town, but no one goes there anymore. It’s really just regional now, instead of the busy season drawing people from anywhere between Montreal and NYC. It’s probably cheap flying as much as anything else: who wants to vacation on a cold beach when you can hop a flight down south for the same cost

To disable, I’d have to login.

I usually don’t like unsubscribing because it results in more spam. Even legitimate sites seem to sell your “verified email address”. Nowadays everything has a unique generated email so I can turn it off at will, but that was long before I started doing that

So, laziness, inertia, excuses

A lot of cryptobros claim to have gotten rich, or seem likely to be flashing their money around. If someone is throwing money around, why not be somewhere you can catch some

Are you sure it’s not the part of a car engine collecting exhaust from all cylinders into a smaller number of pipes? Because I can use my ignorance of that and play up my environmental credentials as owning an EV

If you were into guys and said that on our first date, I’d be there on our second!

I’m getting a bit tired of home automation as a hobby anyway - i don’t meet many new people inside my home. 3D printing was next on my list but then I’d have to collect WarHammer miniatures

We needed to get someone back in office who could potentially do something about the atrocities. Instead we elected someone who will double down. That wasn’t a good plan

Do you have a recipe? While I’m a fan of great slaw, I’ve never been able to make it myself. The recipes I’ve tried are bland mayo mush not worth eating

It’s not a Rueben but it does make an excellent sandwich!

Oh shit, how have I not tried that? And I have plenty of slow-smoked pulled pork left over from this weekend!

I only had pickles on pulled pork sandwiches, pulled pork breakfast burritos, pulled pork mac&cheese ….

It’s more modern than that. I don’t have time to look for stats, but I believe there’s been general migration to cities for like half a century or more

Police are just as lazy as anyone else. While there will be a few turncoats, I’d expect them to generally go along with “you can snub a fed and do nothing”
