Oh, that’s great. Good for you, Squid. My girlfriend and I were looking there or Spain. It’d be a nightmare to move, though.

Me @ them:

Where are you moving to? I’ve been looking, as well.

When you’re 18, you’re more than welcome in the New Mexico/Colorado coalition. New Mexico is more affordable, FYI. Until then, there are good people on Lemmy you can lean on.

Met my current partner at work. The funny part is I had given up completely, after going on dates with enough people, but just not really connecting with any. My previous relationship was haunting me, and I carried a lot of damage from it. I just couldn’t overcome it, so, I gave up. Then, out of nowhere, this gorgeous, kind, bubbly, and incredibly intelligent girl just showed up in an IT orientation I was leading. We started talking eventually, and we’ve been together for 2 amazing years. I know it’s cliché, but sometimes you find what you’re looking for precisely when you’re not looking.

Before that I dated on apps, and I can confirm it was hell. It’s probably changed in the 3 odd years I was using them, but Bumble was by far the best app, at least in my area. On that app, it felt a lot more meaningful than Tinder or Hinge.

How has your dating life been, OP?

Ah, yes. Trypophobia pancakes.

For sure! I would rather have a burn than a burn with plastic/rubber in it, though.

Gloves and hot oil do not mix well. Good way to get gloves melted to your hand.

Israel’s people can sniff out cash like a bloodhound, apparently.

English names tend do just get characters that sound phonetically like their English pronunciation. As such, a lot of names, especially longer ones, don’t mean anything. If you directly translated them, a lot of the time you’d get like “cabbage the horse wheel” or something.

For real. There’s a very well known guy in the AEC industry that invented a very important custom PowerShell module for a pillarstone software. This same man was supposed to have a large session he spoke in at Autodesk University, which I am attending right now. I was really looking forward to attending his talk.

Well, I was following him on LinkedIn, and a couple months ago he comments under a post basically saying, “We must support Israel no matter what, and fuck you if you question what is going on in Gaza.” This man commented basically saying, “Exactly, Israel should not be questioned, let them do what they want.”

Much to nobody’s surprise, he’s not speaking at AU. It’s pretty clear he got dropped. It’s good to see shitty actions having consequences.

I’d rather he be dropped off in the middle of Gaza with no security. Let him sow what he has reaped.

Don’t forget that most are pedophiles.

Yes, when asked about why he still doesn’t have a plan on how to replace ObamaCare.

Lmao, literally a DnD line. Pretty sure I heard the same line in my girlfriend’s last DnD session.

Well folks, if the dementia was ever in question, there’s our answer. Anyway, I’m gonna go eat a dog in Springfield; anyone in?

Okay Nick Mullen.

Like tax evasion.

A life sentence, I would hope.

I am a total junkie for true crime, but this is one of the most harrowing, vile, and horrific things I have ever read. I am a lesser person for having read it. That said, I think her carrying on despite all of this is really the testament of the human spirit. That poor woman…
