This is the correct interpretation.

I agree but that outfit is also a bit of a statement that really attractive people can get away with wearing just about anything.

It’s the kind of pattern that says, “Look into my eyes or else you’re gonna get a headache.”

Are you good at MacPaint on the original 1980’s monochrome Macintosh? Are you a clothing designer?

Just had yogurt and berries for a snack because I have my annual checkup Tuesday and I want to be in tip-top shape for it.

send me anonymous messages. I do actually think Bluesky has an echo chamber problem despite what people say. It's not the far-right wing trolls that are most affected- it's moderate people who are scared off by the constant purity tests

Try out a Pilot Kakuno to see if that’s a good fit for you, too. Keep in mind, Japanese nibs run on the skinny side (which also means less ink flow so they feel a little less smooth compared to the same nib in an American or European pen).

I’m against almost all generalizations except this one because it’s true.

You’re being way too nice.

One more note: Hobonichi has both Japanese and English versions of their planners so check the listings to make sure.

Sorry, this was meant to be a reply to your reply but ended up as a reply to my reply and now this is turning into the ghost of an old vaudeville routine.

Different choice but similar, in case you want something a little more compact: Hobonichi Techo, which comes in different versions.

Some people like it as simply a strong daily organizer. Many love it for the Tomoé River paper, which is a dream to write on. It’s also VERY thin and light.

Yeah, definitely a uniquely Nebraska treat!

A happy book says: I'm so proud you chose me as your holiday read! I can't wait to start entertaining you! A smiling drink says: And I'm right here! Ready to keep you cool and refreshed while you read! A gleeful phone adds: Yay! So great! How about we kick things off with a load of the same old rubbish you always look at, plus some gloomy news and mavbe a few emails from work!! Hours later... The drink and book lie untouched. The phone is out of view but a bubble reads: Scroll Scroll Scroll Scroll Scroll The book says “I hate that guy.”

I say go for it.

I get it, man. One technique that helps me get through anxiety is mindfulness meditation. Surprising how effective it is. But yeah, if you’re just bare-knuckling it through, trust me: it’s just a feeling you’re having, nothing more. And like all feelings, it will go away at some point.

In my former life as a true crime author and investigative crime journalist, I had a very senior detective once tell me: “If England has undiscovered serial killers, they are rural landowners with access to fields and pigs.” That knowledge has never left me.

Oof. Sorry, man. Hope it heals up quickly.

I looked back over a week and there are a few dotted lines. I do take the ring off now and then, though.

Yeah, I guess my example may not be definitive enough for you. Sorry.

My kids better fight over this when I die.

I have the Oura 4 and I haven’t noticed any patches where it didn’t have data.

A true mark of wisdom on your part, no question.

That and the folk music one were Christopher Guest at his height. The movies that followed just weren’t very good.

I know, right? I mean, I suppose it isn’t hurting anyone but at what point do you call something too deeply weird to be okay?

Beautiful! Thanks for finding it!

I mean, can you imagine being the Director of R&D for ice cream? Your job is all about innocent happiness, little treats.

Then you open up a new project brief and see that THIS is the new thing you’ve got to produce. And answer your team’s questions about. And motivate your team to do a good job.
