Anyone else on Duolingo notice how the energy’s been draining super quick on free accounts lately?

Granted, it doesn’t help that I’m shaped like the pillsbury dough boy and have noticeable greys but it’d be nice if everyone could agree on it

Really wish I could get the folks saying I’m not old in a room with the current dating pool who’re acting like I’m a geriatric as I need y’all to get on the same page here…

I’ve had my car for a bit over 7 years now, and just had to get the battery jumped for the first time.

Not bad for that kind of time (or 130k miles)…

Is doing stuff alone better than doing nothing? Yes. Doing everything alone gets real old real quick, though.

Really wish I had a group of acquaintances (or better yet, friends) to do stuff with.

I think there’s a certain irony (and karma) in the fact that the side of my bio family that wanted me swept squarely under the rug is the one I’ve known about my whole life…

While written what seems like eons ago, it’s shocking how well Pink’s Dear Mr President describes the mess we’re currently in the middle of.

Rare ride find, an early 2nd gen Windstar without the dual slider option

Look, I’m not saying that I’ve become a complete misanthrope but there’s something to be said when a double rum & coke is more solid than most of the non-family folks I know and does more for the soul than they do...

Yeah, I’m having the same issue

One thing I’ve realized while watching old NCIS episodes is they stopped having car scenes once Dodge stopped selling the Charger

Am I the only one who doesn’t use facetime? I think I’ve used it all of five times in the 13 years I’ve been using smartphones

I do love how spam calls have gone through the roof now that my phones paid off…

I’m curious how many American Catholics are upset that Timothy Dolan isn’t the first American Pope…

Maybe it’s just me but if there’s one restaurant chain that doesn’t work without the kitsch of its in-person experience, it’s Cracker Barrel. I don’t know of anyone who’d go there just for the food.

Decided to go back and rewatch season 1 of NCIS and realized two things…early DiNozzo was a douche, and the current iteration isn’t anywhere near what it used to be.

I’ve come to the realization that In-N-Out is to the west what Dunkin is to New England…not great but decently good and too ubiquitous not to be a cultural landmark

Maybe it’s just me, but would it really be so difficult for Apple to go back to having the camera be flush with the back of the iPhone? Imagine the battery life improvements that would come from having it be just that much thicker…

Anyone else remember when everyone was losing their minds over the teen pregnancy rate? That dropping dramatically has lowered the overall rate.

Not me getting a notification from work to set up life insurance on the same day the Pope dies…

Just realized that this year, Easter and Orthodox Easter fall on the same day and I’m wondering how the Greeks are feeling about not being able to get everything on sale this year…

I’ve been going to thrift stores for years now, and no matter what happens I can’t seem to avoid their jar section…

Wouldn’t be surprised at all, but it’s a question of how quickly that iPhone inventory moves out.

Thinking I’ll go the refurbished route if anything catastrophic happens to my 13.

If there’s one thing Apple seriously screwed up, it’s the ipod…I can’t be the only one thinking there’s still a market for a PDA device, no?

Ok but you’re saying that like it’s a bad thing…
