People often find a lot of change in their thirties (I sure did). I don’t know if it’s metabolism slowing down or just life getting more crowded and sedentary for so many of us. I was super skinny all my life - in my teens I had to force myself to eat until I was uncomfortably full just to stay even - but in my thirties I got a little belly. I also lost most of my hair in my mid twenties, so I looked like a different person between 20 and 30.

Look at you, bringing this thread back from the dead.

First of all, even if we take what you’re saying at face value, how does it being an original text in any way prove that its contents are true? If I made up a completely original story today about a stuffed animal that eats pickles and poops diamonds, would that mean that such a thing exists?

Secondly, we can’t take what you’re said at face value because Qur’anic and Muslim scholars are very divided about the origins of the Quran.

That’s great, at least as long as you’re truly letting go of it and not pushing it down someplace.

It’s pretty easy for me to feel sadness, but anger is just a very unnatural state for me. Probably to an unhealthy degree in that there are probably times when I should be mad, but instead just get despondent.

I was looking at that too. Hard to say for sure, I’m not a digital forensic, but it looks kind of that way. Which would explain how he had the full details of the man behind her.

You misunderstand: I love them so much that when I see any kind of dust or anything on them, I brush them off.

“Things;” I’m leaving that typo, but fixed two others. Proof reading for the win!

There really isn’t a norm. I don’t get mad very easily- I brush off thighs that upset other people - but if I get mad it takes a long time to get over it. I had a gf once who got mad at the slitest thing (often really mad), but would get over it really quickly. There’s a lot of variation. And, of course, it can depend on the issue, too. A guy leaving the toilet set up is different from a guy kissing his gf’s sister.

They did stuff like this - maybe not with AI - in the last two elections at least. The Mueller report made the Russian activity pretty clear. And 2016 was a really close election; they only have to shape the opinion of a small number of people.

It’s also curious that Republican lawmakers, who historically have been overtly anti-Russian and anti-Putin, have become pro Russian in recent years. What changed?

Yeah, of you can back it away from the garlic enough. Otherwise it’s too hot.

I’m leaving it

I can’t wait to let my wife know

That is so completely insane. Do you know how many workplace injuries and deaths were eliminated because of things OSHA put in place?

I don’t know, it seems like when she even mildly went on the offensive, people on both sides (and especially the media) ripped her for it. Remember the “deplorables” things?

For ages, I don’t think even Trump’s campaign thought he had much of a chance (many sources have said he didn’t even want to win). And remember, she did win the popular vote.

I don’t think she did nearly as well as she could have, but there’s a lot of hyperbole about her that I think is misplaced.

Okay, if you think that’s a good idea

I did roast them with a butane torch and thought that would make the flavor a little milder

That’s your problem. Rotating garlic needs a lower heat than a torch for a longer time.

I honestly didn’t get the joke and was trying to figure out what was wrong with the. Like, maybe if it was instead of raises or something I’d be pissed, but otherwise looks great.

I completely agree. Hillary was subject to non-stop manufactured scandals insinuating she was a complete criminal (Benghazi, the emails, etc.). Plus Trump successfully tapped into the “punish the libs” and “it’s okay to be racist” contingents. It wasn’t a great campaign, but to suggest that it should have been a cake walk for her is ridiculous.

Exactly right. They might consider it initially, but then they’d realize that they got an increase in support from the MAGA base and they’d lean into it.

Funny, I came here to make the exact same analogy. I totally agree - a mature kid and an immature adult have a lot of overlap.

And the thing itself looks like a game of telephone between a rabbit and a deer. Cute though. I wonder what they’re like as pets. Wikipedia says “near threatened.”
