I had a similar relationship with my younger brother after I left for college. We were close before then but when I got back we were basically strangers. I let him move in with me shortly before figuring out I was trans so even though things were still a bit weird between us I came out to him (couldn’t deal with running to hide wigs and dresses anymore). His response was that he always wanted a sister and we got super close after that. Our family says even though we’re 4 years apart we basically have the mind meld thing twins have lol

I’m not saying this will be your experience but being honest and vulnerable can be a great start to getting closer. Regardless you have already shown how brave you are by coming out.

Also it doesn’t look like you mentioned her politics, but even though she’s in texas it seems like she was chill with you being feminine when you were growing up so id hope she’s still open to that.

There are regular tablets you swallow and there are chewable versions. I’m just letting people know not to get the chewables.

Usually it just doesn’t occur to me until I’m halfway or completely done and it’s too late.

I was loving this movie until it started being a superhero movie. It was a really cool scifi experience till then

I’ve used them and they help sometimes but I also just forget to take them all the time lol usually if I’m chugging a large milkshake I’m having a bad enough day that I’m not thinking a few hours ahead.

Also anyone reading this: the chewable lactaid tablets will make you want to die. They are one of the most unpleasant things I’ve had in my mouth

I’m lactose intolerant and love milkshakes… So yes

Fresh pizza and cold pizza are basically two completely different meals. They’re both great, but out of every food I’ve eaten the temp changes pizza the most imo

Thank you! That sounds super fun :) sent you a message!

Mine is MTG Arena. I don’t really have anyone I can play with locally so it’s basically my only option but my God it’s like a textbook example on how to make the greediest and shittiest user experience

This is the answer. I work in a big company which has a similar issue. The boots on the ground devs like me know how bad some cascaded orders and ideas are but when you try to bring it up it’s like trying to talk to a brick wall with 13 other brick walls in the way

I’m going with white with an orange back. I would have gone with yellow but wasn’t a fan of the shade of it lol

The leather back was definitely tempting

Really looking forward to mine. Seems like it hits most of what I’ve been looking for in a phone.

100% this. An ex of mine did this all the time and the first couple times are cute but past that it starts being obnoxious and like you said exhausting. I finally told her when she says stuff like that she’s also calling me either stupid for “settling” for her, or a liar by not believing me when I said I wanted to be with her. She stopped for a bit after that but it didn’t last long.

I loved Black Survival back in the day. It was early in the Battle Royal wave and it somehow made a visual novel style multiplayer BR fun for me, but any of my friends I convinced to try it absolutely despised it

tbh I’ve always assumed it would take a majority of offices and other workplaces adopting it. Having no choice but to use it and then suddenly… “hey… why does this not suck?”

Plus bigger workplaces have more leverage with software companies which would increase the compatibility pool

Also the fact that I can pretty much run any exe through steam painlessly helped me with the switch. More people being aware of that could help

I take like 12 pills every morning and half of them are just for my mental health. I know personally it’s always been there but has gotten tougher to manage recently primarily due to external factors. I think it’s important to remember that other people are going through wildly different things than you. Other people have a harder time dealing with stress and depression than you do. Plus it’s become much more common to actually get help when you’re struggling which would explain the higher numbers being reported.

Also a high tv viewership if anything counters your argument. A lot of people use television as an escape so higher viewership would mean more people trying to ignore their stress/issues.

I was complaining to my friends about how bad the programming was on a project I was wrapping up and then they asked, “Isn’t this a personal hobby project?” yes it is.

I honestly can’t remember the last time I played a game that couldn’t be played on a potato. No AAA games have interested me in years

It’s always worth it to learn something new! Go for it! I enjoyed working on the small projects I made in JS

It’s the dumb thing where they have to cover their ass legally. If the guy goes to court and somehow wins by convincing them it “slipped” from his hand then he could turn around and sue all the outlets who said he threw it
