The “joy” or whatever doesn’t have to be “Everything is great!” It can also be "Shit sucks but maybe we can get a coalition together to fix it. " Just hoping things can be better gives people joy. Like going to church and stuff

The second part of the comment is incorrect, as you noted, but exercising without equipment is cheap and effective at getting fitter. Getting big needs equipment but Getting fit can be done with calisthenics.

Race shorts with netting no undies. Regular shorts I wear compression shorts.

I went through something similar and had my blender sitting for a while. Then I had kids and decided to get on the smoothie train again.

What I found regarding blandness was never add ice, never add water. Use whole milk or heavy cream or half and half. Unflavored yogurt is good and tastes like fruit when blended with frozen fruit. Bananas turn into a smooth thick liquid when blended. Frozen Bananas are often recommended but don’t help texture as much.

These internet chocolates never contain mushrooms according to everyone I’ve known or read about who have had them. If you’re lucky you get 4-aco-dmt which is safe and hard to tell apart from the real thing. This is an unregulated market and no one else cares about your health. Be careful out there.

“When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”

Quote for people who hate YouTube videos for a single paragraph of information.

Pagers also work even in parts of the hospital that cell phones don’t for whatever reason. At least last time I had a hospital pager a few years ago. Now a lot of places use commercial solutions like vocera that also work everywhere and allow two way voice comms.

They threw their support behind him in 2020 because he was the incumbent. Same as the DNC did with Biden this time.

They always make services worse before they end them. Maybe instead of incorporating ai they will release a new, not compatible with existing hardware, assistant and they are moving teams around.

I feel like if the meth pipes weren’t there they would still be implied

Enemy Mine is a sentimental favorite of mine

“Keeping Secrets” by Suzanne Somers for the curious

So I guess I get the sentiment. The oviparous dragons and the viviparous dragons can’t stand each other. Separate pins are the least they can do
