Sounds like another fucking narcissist.

It seems like you’re leaning toward getting standard light fixtures. Are you looking at the ones with naked bulbs, or those with the glass coverings over the bulbs?
If you’re looking at naked bulbs, and if your landlady doesn’t already have one, you might also consider getting her a lightbulb-changing kit so she can change any dead bulbs without climbing a ladder. Something like this with an appropriate-length pole.
That there was a disembodied head that lived in the toilet at night.
I think that only applies to Texans.
Many old tv shows had lyrics, they used the musical version. Hawaii Five-O, Hogan’s Heroes, MASH, I Dream of Jeannie, I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, etc.
omg, speed, why has no one said ‘speed’ yet? An hour-long tv show was 350mb, and it took three days to download.
You put red pepper flakes on your pizza sometimes, yeah? She just likes hers in liquid form.
If BBC Science Magazine was texting me at 1.29am to ask “Why do the British talk about the weather so much?”, BBC Science Magazine and I would be having words - especially if they texted me six hours later to ask about plants!
Maybe French ketchup is different than American ketchup?
Pros: high protein food
Cons: makes a spoon dirty
Suggested improvements to recipe: note to thoroughly lick spoon clean, or use a finger to swipe up the peanut butter.
This is for people who might not have pasta sauce in their pantry, but most people will have ketchup in the fridge.
Jodie Foster has an IQ of like 132, and graduated from Yale.
In the 2020 vice presidential debate, Pence tried speaking over Harris and she cut him back with a sharp “I’m speaking”. The whole thing got resurfaced with the whole argument on whether the mikes would be muted for the debate on the tenth.
Las Vegas police are refusing to comply with the NFL’s new plan to use facial recognition technology for stadium employees during games. Even though police often use facial recognition to identify suspects, they say giving their biometric data to an unaccountable company crosses a line.
I’d’ve called the front desk when they were screaming at each other in the room. The front desk handles this sort of thing more than you and would have a better feel as to whether (for example) these are regular customers, how the local cops react, whether this is a normal or irregular occurrence for the area, etc. If the front desk or the cops had then stopped by the room with a noise complaint, that may have interrupted the disagreement enough that it may not have escalated later on. If they didn’t stop by with a noise complaint, I very likely would have done the standard ‘banging on the wall to get them to shut up’ thing, which may have had the same effect (I have trouble sleeping and this nose would’ve made me very irritable). I don’t know if I’d’ve opened my hotel room door, but I’d’ve at least looked out the peephole to assess the situation - and I’d’ve double-checked the lock and chain on the door during the first argument.
The same way you form any group: you meet regularly. Set a time and place that seems like it would be good for a good percentage of the people, and turn up there, every meeting. Have some of the meetings be about a concept or theme; let everyone know what the concept is ahead of time, so they can think about it and maybe do research or bring examples. And have some of the meetings be open meetings, where anyone can talk about stuff relevant to the group’s purpose. If it becomes a more active group, you may need to limit talking time per person in the open meetings; and if a particular topic catches fire in an open meeting, you can revisit the topic in a themed meeting.
But groups are formed the same way friendships are formed: people turn up regularly to spend time together. Some meetings you may be the only person there, but be open and welcoming to those that do show up.
So it’s been less than 24 hours? Ffs, give yourself time to adjust! Come back in a couple weeks and ask again.
The micro-loans in Africa use very low interest rates as a way of encouraging responsibility for the loan, as well as a means of generating small amounts of capital which is used to fund future loans. In the programs I’m familiar with, all the money stays in the community instead of being siphoned out of it.
I’ve given money to both charities and people. Here’s the thing about donating, though: you’ll get on all sorts of mailing lists and shit, and you’ll get lots more begging letters, emails, phone calls and texts. You know those PBS/NPR donation drives, where they’re like “We just need ten more donors this hour, it doesn’t matter how much!” or those charities that send you pre-printed labels and say “Hey, just send us five bucks, that’s all we need”? Yeah, they’re harvesting your information. If you even send them a penny, they’ll be back for more, and they’ll sell or trade your information to other charities.
I give money to our local volunteer fire/ems department every year, but I don’t use their pre-printed mailer; I hand them cash when Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny come through on their trucks. I have one of those pre-paid Visa gift cards that aren’t tied to an actual person; if I do an online donation, I’ll use that and give them fake information. The money is legit, the information is good enough to pass, but they can’t come harass me for more.
This includes all donations, by the way - political, religious, civic, charity, social, whatever. Do it in cash or by an anonymous Visa gift card.
