me: I'm exhausted, but I need to push through anyway

my brain: get some rest, if you don't have your health you don't have anything

me: ... you do realize that quote is from THE VILLIAN in the princess bride, right? Why should I take health advice from a man who tortures people as a hobby?

Prince: I wish to marry!

Queen: Only if she can pass my test: failing to sleep on a bed with a pea under it!

Prince: Why are you screening for princesses with sensory issues?

Queen: She must be true royalty! Only the most autistic girl in all the land shall marry my son!

you say you would sacrifice yourself to save your wife, you say you would kill someone to defend your children, etc. you'd do any sort of grand gesture for your loved ones. but what about in the mean time?

would you mildly inconvenience yourself? would you take them time to actually bond with them? would put effort into remembering their likes and dislikes? would you re-evaluate your beliefs? would you try to see an argument from their point of view? would you keep your voice level instead of raising it to intimidate them?

would you dedicate a few seconds every day instead of pledging one massive push at a hypothetical point in your life?

I saw this video awhile back, and this post reminded me of it. Maybe there's some helpful ideas in here?

Also, if it's any consolation to your friend, I fully believe that babies who die are safe in heaven. Some people cite 2 Samuel as evidence of this, when David's baby son dies and he says "I shall go to him, but he will not return to me," implying his son won't come back to life but he will see him again. People who testify to having seen heaven in near-death experiences also consistently corroborate this. So, hopefully in the distant future, your friend can be with her baby there.

Genuinely asking how do you speak to the woman you’ve known since y’all were both eight years old and love like a sister after her baby died and she almost died and is still at risk of dying and has been through hell most of her life who is begging you for an explanation for why God hates her

So I constantly see stuff talking about millennials and their baby boomer parents. But my mom is gen x. So I decided to make a poll

References

Silent generation: 1928-1945

Boomer generation: 1946-1964

Generation X: 1965-1980

Millennial: 1981-1996

If you only know for 1 parent, answer for them

I wish mermaids were real so they could farm shrimp under the sea and we could trade with them for shrimp and shrimps would be cheaper

Shopping for parmesan cheese is more difficult now that I know that the common ingredient called "cellulose powder" is literally sawdust...

someone on twitter is trying to claim that use of an em-dash is an indication of AI-generated writing because it’s “relatively rare” for actual humans to use it. skill issue

Am not! The only creatures I possess many of are those used in cooking! Take that arrest warrant over to Blathers!

Though I did essentially run a DoorDash operation through Nookazon at one point in the past, so I suppose I could get into legal trouble for making and selling food without having a restaurant/catering license.

Ummmm... hoarding furniture and recipe cards??? I suppose if I made a pitfall or hit someone with a net that could be considered violence.
