Ay I am torn between G and E, African food is incredible and I’d probably be ok, but G is where I live and my city has amazing food, including African cuisines so if you just mean what’s available in those regions, then G, absolutely.

Prism

And Euphemism.

A euphemismist, never saying anything directly.

Apples, sharp cheddar, and mustard is pretty good. I don’t usually like fruit in savory things but that combo is nice. And we are honeycrisp all the way.

Pretty sure breastfeeding is protected all over the US. It certainly is in Florida.

I’m not even big in that department, don’t wear a bra for yoga, but running? That needs a sport bra, and working outside I wear long sleeves to keep the sun off.

I do think beaches here should allow topless suits for women though. That might go a long way towards desexualizing simple nudity, people would get used to it. I agree that it ought not be a rule that you have to cover your boobs at all if you don’t want to.

My youngest kid just graduated highschool. Pell Grants literally covered my tuition (nothing else, but the classes) for college.

Also I know what this is

Yes and I used to have a well at one house I lived in, and they didn’t charge me for water or sewer because of what you say here, they didn’t have a way to measure it since I wasn’t buying water.

In the 1990s, we used to live next to a couple, Julio & Georgina. They would fight all the time, screaming in Spanish. We never really talked to them. One month we couldn’t pay our water bill and the guy came and shut it off.

As the truck pulled away from the curb, Julio EXPLODES from his house, screaming cusses in Spanish with the biggest wrench I have ever seen. Turns my water back on, shakes the massive wrench at the retreating truck, still yelling at them, nods at me and stomps back into his house.

Well, it is a pretty shitty rendition of a bike, maybe it’s just hypercritical critics? t was a nice prompt though, thanks. Good break for a workday.

Yes, the city bundles water, sewer, and garbage pickup, recycling and bills monthly.

They send someone every month here. A guy comes down the street looking at all the meters (they are under metal plates in front yards) and putting info into a phone. I guess the city has an app. He has a metal pry bar with a long handle he uses to open them

Pretty solid meal. Looks fancy. I agree with whoever said grape juice in a wine glass. Anything in a wine glass makes it fancy, actually.

I am trying to remember what my kids wanted at that age. I think they mostly would have requested chili. Did feed them lots of different things and all grew up with good broad palates.

We went to a concert of Tibetans doing the throat singing and it was cool as fuck.

Introspective arythmic diddly jazz is my music kryptonite. Similarly, the taqsim that is the opening part of so much good Egyptian music. It sounds abusively selfish to me. I do like a diverse array of genres but picky about jazz, or anything without a rhythm.

That Adderall is pretty literally speed like you would get as recreational, dextroamphetamine, not sure I would abuse it like taking a high dose, just absolutely confident I would want to stay up.

I remember being able to sleep on speed as a teenager and that felt so good, it just felt so good as a high, a little or a lot. Really bad for your heart, but apparently Adderall at the regular dose is good for your brain, protective vs. dementia. As is coffee, and exercise which are what I use to medicate.

Couple ryes got mention in this article about top ranked bourbons of this year.

The animals I see here are birds, lizards, snakes, bugs, bats, possums and rats and occasionally a raccoon, armadillo, or alligator.

In all cases (except the crows who sometimes come here for food) the animals disregard me or are wary.

I would say my feelings about them are that I leave them alone but am happy enough when they interact with me a little. One time I shared the condensation on my drink with a jumping spider and it’s one of the things I’ll remember forever. Whenever I set down the drink it would run over and drink from the outside of the bottle. It was so cute.

I am like this with

Deviled eggs

French Fries

And actually the electric bike, though I didn’t get another. It is just so freaking convenient and we have a few people in the house.

Oddly enough, not with most drugs, nor drink. But speed, yeah. My kid gets Adderall for ADHD and I told her just keep it in her room I don’t want to see it. Unless I can have it every day for the rest of my life. I really like speed.

Yeah I wish only for a few things that need a bigger base, sub for my city on Reddit was so helpful, and I miss Normal Nudes and Naked Progress, the NSFW stuff on Lemmy is more onlyfans girls & AI stuff, Reddit had such a massive reach they had everything, more people means more niche stuff.

Overall though? So much nicer here. And I am not sure you can have both, it’s probably nicer because it’s smaller.

Clone Wars

I had someone tell a coworker “you look better” when he was trying to give a compliment, and it came out so uncomplimentary we were all laughing when he left.

I should have used a pencil but:
