A different perspective - my grandparents grew up speaking French. Then the state passed a law saying only English in schools when they were young children. They would get hit on the hands with rulers for speaking French.
This was of course passed down to my parents and myself. But my mom still bitches about kids where I currently live being in school and unable to speak English because they’re new immigrants.
She doesn’t see the hypocrisy and it’s sad.
Thanks for the rec, I have not read it. It sounds like something I would enjoy, so I’ll check it out!
9/11 enabled so much of this to be fast-tracked. Thanks, Patriot Act.
Very helpful, thanks again :)
Thank you! I didn’t know about this.
Please tell me what you added to configure this.
My god I wish there was an option to just not show shorts. Why that’s so difficult is beyond me.
Relevant username!
Alligators…not sure if that’s considered “common” or not. We don’t see them on a regular basis depending on your activities. If you fish/kayak a lot, you’ll see them. If you don’t, you generally won’t unless there’s a drought. Then they’ll be in intersections or in your parking lot at work looking for water.
You sound kind of amazing.
Same (wrt that last part). Trying to find one that works but it’s honestly exhausting after years of seeing them all be pretty much the same. And I can’t really articulate what it is that would make it be the one for me. I know I’m not helping in any way here, lol
Guess we gotta shop around for another judge to lower it further.
Blue Origin also sued NASA a few years ago for not being awarded some contract.
Guess this is the new fad for bored billionaires.
This dude is the living embodiment of the “so…I bet you’re real fun at parties” quip.
Shortly before 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, Trump took those grievances public, posting on his social media platform eight times within two hours about the deadline, arguing that he shouldn’t have to put up the money and worrying that he “would be forced to mortgage or sell Great Assets, perhaps at Fire Sale prices, and if and when I win the Appeal, they would be gone.”
“Does that make sense? WITCH HUNT. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!” the former president wrote.
I was really hoping for the Chewbacca Defense to make an appearance towards the end there.
Hey now…let’s not get too crazy with these ideas!
Oh interesting! Whatever it is, it works (for me at least)!
Oh! Also RevitaLash. It’s more expensive, but I was desperate so I got a few different brands just in case and still alternate. It worked on my eyelashes, too (sadly that’s just bad genes - never had long ones). This morning I just did a little trim with some small scissors, and I’m happy with that. It really was odd to find something that worked as advertised. I wish your wife happy, crazy, out of control eyebrows! :)
I’ve tried some of the eyebrow gel stuff (The Ordinary, o7) that promises to regrow lost brows, and it’s been surprisingly effective. You just have to use it regularly for a few weeks.
I went from my SO commenting on my lack of eyebrows multiple times and my mom asking me if I had an eyebrow pencil…to my mom telling me to do something about my “out of control bushy eyebrows”.
I was pleasantly surprised.
Happy cake day!
