Seriously. USA is like the generic video game starter character before anyone's had a chance to customise it and level up. At all. And I say that as someone who lives here.

As someone else who lives in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere, I use Amazon for stuff I can't find locally. Our local (and family owned) grocery & hardware stores are not much more expensive, so I tend to buy essentials there and save Amazon as a last resort. Amazon's pricing isn't anything special, and being able to talk to a knowledgeable shop owner is more than worth the extra few cents in price.

She vaguely thinks there may be something out there but it has zero bearing on her life. I think that makes her functionally an agnostic atheist.

It has been surprisingly un-stressful so far, probably due to the ridiculously supportive community there. The best part is that everyone's submissions go live at the same time every week, so there's a whole new playlist of brand new music to enjoy!

Yes, yes, yes, of course he will, and I think the new outrage is that he is literally only disclosing the stuff he gets caught on, which begs the question, exactly how deep does his corruption run - not to mention the other "justices" (ahemcoughALITOcough)

Appreciate the links but that was 7+ years ago. What are her stances now?

Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!

Wow. It ebbs and flows but I usually come back to 2007's The Orphanage (El Orfanato). Stylish, scary, and heartbreaking, with an appropriate ending.

It wasn't my idea and it's an inherited friend group (they are my partner's friends) but you are more than welcome to grab this idea and run with it!

It's a great way to turn work into a fun social activity.

Started a "community support" projects group with friends. We schedule a day to descend upon one of our houses and take care of whatever tasks need to be done - painting, yard work, home repairs, etc. It takes very little time with three or more people dividing the work, and we can chat and joke the whole time. We got a lot done, had fun together, and we're done by early afternoon.

Next weekend everyone is coming here to help cut up a fallen tree, and the weekend after we are renovating another friend's small dayroom.
