Not very exciting, but loved hanging out on beaches on the west coast. This one went from a dock to a nice sandy beach that was bordered by a clay cliff. Well, a friend and I roll up and run quite a distance (ah, youthful energy!) exploring along the clay cliffs when the waves get weirdly big and loud. I guess the tide was actually coming in, not going out, and the cliffs weren’t climbable. Only way safely out was off the beach and back to the dock. The stretch we were on wasn’t even accesible at high tide, totally underwater. My friend was a big fella, but he tucked it in and ran with me like Ive never seen him run before. We were fine, but I remember feeling that realization strike.

It makes me happy to see that Stardew Valley made the list!

Gorgeous.

This art style seems a lot like what we saw in older animation. Im sure Im firmly on the minority when I say I dislike it. To me the face shape looks irritating for some reason, maybe the cheeks feel too chubby to me.

Youre right. It still seems relevant to me that even among the childed, there seem to be “levels” of whose kids are automatically privy to easier/better care. But yes…

I recall a coworker who drove truck getting hell for staying home with his wife when they had to put down their beloved dog. One guy scoffed and said it was ridiculous and he needed to man up and show up instead of using time off for a dog. I was floored. Seems like if youre high enough up, you can take a day off for anything and everyone just assumes it must be for a good enough reason…

I think this shows up in various ways. Watching a salaried worker come in late, stay home cause kids are sick, take off early because kids have dental appt, etc versus watching the low paid hourly worker under them go without pay to take care of all the same things because they aren’t salaried, have no wfh ability, and are out of leave from using it so often sucks.

You aren’t alone. Artificial sweeteners are disgusting with a capital D.

Who the hell downvoted you for this, lol?

Depends on if you have money for a sitter and walker.

This is true. Company could easily wait a while then hit OP with a vaguely worded pip. Bam, magically they get let go for “performance” issues that seemingly have nothing to do with how they take their lunches.

Reading your take on Squall is hilarious because I experienced the same thing. As a kid he was the coolest thing ever. Replayed the game as an adult and was like ??? This guy can kick rocks with the way he treats people lol. There is one conversation (on Balamb Garden, I think) where some older person is telling him they remind him of their son or something similar, and he straight up tunes them out as they are talking with his thoughts relaying how little he cares lol.

Not true at all, honestly kind of fear mongering. Mushrooms like morels are extremely hard to mistake unless you resist all forms of obvious Id.

Well said.

Who would downvote this lol? No kids, but also fully am tired of the us vs them mentality with cf versus childed. In today’s world there is usually a much greater sacrifice to have kids and to be able to afford or have a community to have date nights and such, but having children is still an adventure that many parents enjoy. You probably hear a lot from the complainers, though. Similar to married guys who sigh and call their wives the old woman… the happily married are silent af usually.

He was beautiful!

Also an aside, but his nose reminds me of Bojack…

I wasn’t sure if this was the issue or if it was because the cookies technically needed to be expired first to donate?

I feel like this is all well and good until you need insurance. If you damage something and get sued without insurance/LLC, they’re suing you directly instead. Dicey territory depending on what you’re being sued for.

It’s often fixable if caught soon enough. Basically the affected creature gets ripped a new asshole under anasthesia.

I think you can hide message previews now, but dang lol.

For the first time ever, I opened a bundle to realize the dice straight up hadn’t been included. I opened a ticket after showing proof of purchase and was told Wizards was experiencing a higher than normal volume for returns and issues, so it’d be while before I saw it.

I wonder if others are experiencing a decrease in quality or if I was just unlucky?
