  • Bernie Sanders Champions 32-Hour Work Week With No Loss in Pay

  • I think that the stage of life you're in would also play a huge part in what hours you'd prefer. When I was single, I'd prefer later hours like you so I could have a more relaxed morning. Now that I'm married with kids, however, an earlier schedule would mean more family time. Especially as school events are often scheduled for the early evening.

  • Your best friend - why are they your best friend? What is it that they are doing that you feel like at home with them?

  • I met my best friend when we were in our late 20s. We were assigned as roommates while teaching English in Thailand. I'm more introverted and she's more extroverted, so our early friendship was her finding fun things to do and me tagging along. We have different outlooks at times, but similar values, which is good because we can help balance each other out.

    As for what has made our friendship so strong, it's largely because of rough times we've gone through together. We've been there for each other in good times, bad times, and really awful times. She is family. Fortunately, our daughters are also best friends now! And our husbands get along okay, too.

  • Can you drive a manual transmission?

  • 40F from the West coast, USA and the first car I bought was a manual Toyota Camry. Man, I loved that car. Up until I got T-boned by a Bronco. All of my cars afterwards were automatic for convenience and safety, but I miss my little manual car. It had great gas mileage.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Yup. The th sound is pronounced with a hard "T," and when the r is in the middle of the word it's silent, and typically has more of an l pronunciation. It's a very non western language, and is completely independent from Latin.

  • When Y2K happened were there people burning their passports and walking barefoot to Jerusalem or something along those lines?

  • I was in high school, and I remember babysitting my brother's kids for new years. I'd invited a friend to hang out with me while I watched them, but her parents were very freaked out about Y2K and insisted she stay home with them. They did do some prepping on water and canned goods, but not quite to the "bunker under their floorboards" level. As for me and my family, we carried on as if life would continue as normal, and thanks to countless people working tirelessly, it did just that.

  • The US mall is not dying

  • Same thing in Thailand as well. Malls will never go extinct because they're air conditioned areas that anyone can enter.

  • Why? There is enough space on the parking lot

  • That's why some parking lots put a cement curb a few feet away from the sidewalk, where the tires should stop.

  • What are some examples of cute as a look for men/masculine folks?

  • I always think my husband is cute, especially when he first wakes up and is still a bit groggy. It's the disheveled hair that gets me.

  • How do people sleep on planes?

  • There's definitely a lot to be said about the exhaustion from long flights. I used to travel often between east Asia and the States, so I had to get used to sleeping on planes out of necessity. I'd always try to get a long layover in either Seoul or Beijing because their airports allowed for sleep. Seoul had a layover area where there were reclining lounges that were really comfortable to sleep on, and Beijing has a hotel in the airport where you can get a single room with a bed. It also has a shower, which is awesome when you're getting off of a 10+ hour flight.

  • Who is your favorite granny?

  • Gladys as Super Granny is peak granniness imo.

  • Aunt Killer...

  • When my oldest niece was a toddler, she was out in the garage with her mom who was trying to get rid of some bugs. She said she hated ants, and my niece got really sad. "You hate Aunt Sweet?" Her mom laughed and explained that there were two types of ants/aunts.

  • I once wrote a song about tortillas...

  • I tried to make a movie about a burrito, but at the end, the director said it was a wrap.

  • "We Didn't Know It Was The End": Jonathan Frakes On Directing Star Trek Discovery Series Finale

  • I remember watching the first few episodes, but I got bored and started watching the Orville instead because it had more of a Star Trek spirit.

  • The Quiet Collapse of Four Key State Republican Parties

  • "You cannot bellow, snarl, table-pound, and rage your way to an effective state or local party organization."

    Shocked Pikachu face.

  • Drunk Delta Passenger Sexually Assaulted Mom and Teen Daughter on 9-Hour 'Nightmare' Flight: Lawsuit

  • It reminds me of being in a reverse situation. In that instance, I was the teenage girl, stuck between two guys who were drinking. Fortunately, it didn't escalate to this extent, but it definitely made me realize my vulnerability.

  • Julia Child filming the first episode of The French Chef (1963)

  • Ah yes, the "banger in the mouth" recipe.

  • What are you Reading? (August 2023)

  • I'm about a third of the way through the first book. It has been really hard for me to take time to focus long enough to read, so it's my first real book in a long time. I've missed it.

  • Does listening to music with dark lyrics make you feel better when you're depressed?

  • For short periods of time, it can be really cathartic to listen to songs that express my darker feelings, but if I listen to them for too long then it just perpetuates the low emotions. When I'm depressed, I need to listen to a variety. Fortunately, I'm usually too tired to search for songs when I'm depressed, so radio does the trick.

  • Does listening to music with dark lyrics make you feel better when you're depressed?

  • Have you tried turning it off and on again?
