I proposed to my wife at Christmas by putting the ring in a bigger box so she was surprised. It was a box for skincare product, and she was actually excited for it before she even opened it to see the ring. Obviously she was happy for the proposal, but she also seemed a little disappointed she didn’t get skincare stuff.
The following Christmas, I got her a tiny container of a skincare product she liked and put it in a ring box.
“You can add the frequentive suffix and call the pig a gruntler” sounds like profanity from a sci-fi movie.
They could digitize creatures and encapsulate them in pocket sized containers. Their tech is a bit more advanced
What gets me is that the reason they changed was to “communicate”, but her expression is essentially blank. What’s being communicated? If anything it’s far less expressive than the wry knowing smile.
I love nature. Termite mounds are nature, honeycombs are nature, spiderwebs are nature. Humans are a part of nature and our infrastructure is a part of who we are.
Carving out exceptions for human artifacts like this takes for granted that a bunch of arboreal primates figured out how to melt down the rocks themselves to extract their purest essence, then wound that essence into ropes that contain the lightning we learned to generate ourselves to power the many other artifacts we developed to bring light into our dwellings, communicate with primates on the other side of the planet, and automate the menial tasks of our lives.
While certainly selfish and misguided at times, everything we make is nature, just as much as honeycombs and spiderwebs.
I didn’t wear a trenchcoat. If I told you what I did instead, I’d probably doxx myself. It was cringe.
Not OP, but also an annoying adolescent atheist. After actually giving it some thought, I realized I was contextualizing the concept all wrong. Just because most people seem to contextualize God as a Santa Claus figure (bearded man who lives above us and judges our conduct, with fitting consequences) didn’t mean I had to accept that context.
There have been many very intelligent people across history who had many interesting things to say about deity. Few of them were using the Santa Claus model.

Ironic
Going online to gripe about DNC strategy to other online leftists accomplishes nothing but generating more apathetic non-voters. Organizing in effective ways can actually accomplish something: mass letters directly to the DNC, banding together into massive documented coalitions, mass petitions.
If the Uncommitted movement had tens of millions of registered voters come together and pledge to vote Harris if and only if she took a harder stance on Israel, that might have helped.
When you’re speaking up to the wrong audience, and thereby doing more harm than good, yes you should shut up. Toward that audience, or at least with that message. The Democratic party is a lot of unsavory things, but they aren’t totally stupid. They have a great number of analysts developing strategy based on the information they have. If you want them to change, they need actionable information that supports that change.
Complaining in already largely leftist anonymous online spaces is not actionable information.
That would be the inevitable consequence if everyone decided to not have children.
Yeah I really don’t see the situation in the comic often at all. I won’t say it doesn’t happen, but I’ve personally witnessed way more of this reactionary diversion when men are discussing their unique issues.
I second this recommendation. This review is sincere and left an impression. I do not feel as if I was spoiled
Daddy mole pops his head out of the mole hole, sniffs the air, and catches a whiff of a farmer nearby having his morning pancakes. “Ooh, it smells like maple syrup!”
Mommy mole wriggles up next to him, and pops her head out of the mole hole. She sniffs the air “Ooh, it does smell like maple syrup!”
Baby mole tries to wriggle up between them, but can’t get his head out. “All I can smell is mole asses”
I’m saying if OP’s neighborhood does, and they didn’t mark their house, that could explain why they didn’t see anyone. Refurbished if there aren’t any other marked houses nearby, kids may just not go that way.
And I doubt most of us are “duped”. We know this is how it works, and the best strategy is still to keep butting back up against the catch until we have reach the conditions to lift it. Every Dem victory is like a pause button on the rightward slide while we boost candidates for the next primary.
The FB group for my local area shared a map marked with houses that were giving out candy. It was through some website I think, you could mark your house and even if you had decorations. Your neighborhood might have something similar, you could be on a bad road for walk-bys.
I would imagine the FSM to be composed of the platonic ideal of gluten rather than physical gluten, though I’m not sure if that would be more irritating or less. I’d consult a GI and maybe a metaphysician.
See if you qualify for any down payment assistance programs. Combined with an FHA loan, you could possibly get into a house with under $5k.
