I was driving in slowish freeway traffic in Detroit and the guy behind me plowed right into me, didn’t even slow down, didn’t even look away. He sort of bounced off of me, pulled onto the shoulder, and squeeled off while I had to find some sketchy spot to stop and make sure my bumper wasn’t dragging too much.
A person I was visiting there in Detroit told me that insurance wasn’t required so many people run off rather than risk getting blamed and the cops wouldn’t even bother with a report.
I use Paprika 3 extensively.
I find recipes online, download them to the app stripped of all the online recipe bloat. It sorts all the information automatically, including notes and nutritional info. I can check off ingredients and highlight directions, edit tags, compile menus, add my own notes and write my own recipes, it automatically provides a grocery checklist, has a serving calculator to adjust amounts for whole recipes, built in timers, and that’s just the basics off the top of my head.
It’s free up to a certain amount of storage but I think all the features are available.
I had to explain to someone recently that the person who told him chicken is vegan was fucking with him. He was genuinely still a little confused after.
There was a crazy amount of people conflating organic with vegan when that fur hat J6 guy went to prison and asked for a special diet too.
I thought Brussels sprouts were baby cabbages until I was 28 and I finally saw them still attached to the stalk.
In addition to the other suggestions I would recommend finding Alton Brown’s show Good Eats. He explains why and how things work in an entertaining way, sort of like Bill Nye for food science.
I grew up watching him, in addition to the practical experience I had with family and restaurant work, and I still find his teaching and recipes invaluable.
I’m pretty comfortable with it since there’s no god to be afraid of. It’s the people who believe in god that have to avoid pissing him off by not having a good enough reason to call him, or something.
If anything, it’s a little bit transgressive and that’s fun.
“Jewish themes”…like in the Bible?
I had a similar experience and I dropped out of high school at 14 for a GED because I couldn’t handle it another day. And then college at 22. And then another university at 31. Now I still struggle with the most basic things because I’m only just figuring out why I didn’t get to learn how to deal with trying to exist growing up. It’s very hard and as an adult there’s even less help. I’m very lucky to have an understanding partner and a good therapist because I have no other friends or family and I spiral often. If only someone had told me as a kid, I can’t say I’d be that much different now, but at least I wouldn’t be spending so much energy on trying to figure out what all went wrong back then and maybe I’d have some skills that makes functioning or communicating a little easier.
I did the same but I have thin, straight hair and there was not much, if any, transition before it got better. I’ve only used conditioner for about ten years now.
As a kid I had the Dinotopia audiodrama tapes and my family would get old radio shows like Jack Benny from the CrackerBarrel store on road trips.
Grooming can happen to anyone. It’s like long term incremental manipulation.
Adrienne is great. She’s how I learned and I’ve been at it daily for years now.

I guess I’m older but I feel like it ruins it. The context matters most and I’d rather add context than a tag if I have to. Part of the joke is people missing the context when it’s obvious to others. I’m not sure there’s much point in sarcasm if you’re spelling it out.
I thought I heard that insurance laws changed maybe since then or around that time and there was a reason for a lot of hit and runs. I don’t know, but that was my experience a while ago. The weird part was mostly how the dude had no visible reaction at all except to take off, which probably could’ve been anywhere.
As an out of towner I did have trouble with the short on ramps. I wasn’t sure how to get into a rhythm because there was no place to get up to speed. I didn’t like feeling like I had to shove my way in and it was hard to tell how to let others in safely. I suppose you just know those things when you live there long enough.
