Then they went with just having the radio performers do the ad in the middle of the show, and we’re back to that again with youtubers sticking ad reads in the middle of their videos…

You’re allowed to be bothered by how other people eat pasta.

But we don’t care

Not everyone eats their spaghetti “like you’re supposed to”

Some people even cut it with a knife to deliberately get shorter bits that are easier to eat.

Butter and Parmesan on pasta is a great lighter pasta dish. (Though I prefer it on something like Rotini more than spaghetti)

Do I know what I’m doing?

Yes. I’m breaking the pasta because it fits in the pot better (and I don’t have to wait for it to soften up to push it all the way in). And I like to eat shorter spaghetti anyway.

And she was likely born in New York City.

I sit there wondering, if I hit the red button to reject the call, will the caller know? Or will the phone continue to ring on their end? Don’t want them to know I deliberately ignored their call…

Jesus addressed the widower who remarried idea. He dismissed the question as ridiculous because you won’t have human emotions in heaven and will feel no connection to either of your wives.

Sounds like a great place /s

That’s just mean.

I could see a “Don’t touch that machine, it’s filthy” (because it probably is covered in smoke and tobacco).

But it should have been clear a 5 year old wasn’t trying to get cigarettes to smoke, and even if you wanted to take that time to go off on the evils of tobacco and smoking (which is fair enough, even without the religious connection) you don’t need to pair it with physical abuse.

I really wanted to be able to pull out those knobs. No interest in the cigarettes but the machines looked so cool

The confirmation process I went through included some discussion of other flavors of Christianity. It started putting some ideas in my head that eventually led to dropping the faith entirely.

WOOSH!

I understand the idea of waiting till someone understands what is going on and can make a choice before someone is baptized.

But 6 isn’t that age. A 6 year old is just going to believe what their parents tell them and isn’t old enough to understand this choice. Might as well just do infant baptism.

We went through a confirmation process at 17 or 18. Much better way to accept and acknowledge your religion.

You’re so vain. You probably thought this passive aggressive sign about the Rapture was about you

But it’s ok, because Jesus said God will rip out your humanity so you’ll be emotionless and not care about anyone or anything you cared about in life

You’re going to choose the God who won’t take care of your cats?

I named my cats Xena (Warrior Princess Kitty), and Frodo

Xena was a fighter, she was the boss, lived up to her name.

Frodo is a fluffy little doof, who just wants to sleep and eat. Like a hobbit.

I don’t have a tiktok and I think I deleted my Instagram because I never use it and they were sending me email. I’m betting those aren’t the only two services they ask about. You could enter None for each but seems like if they’re asking for these, they’re going to take a lack of answers as a strike against you and probably reject the application.

So best to reject the job listing first

For years and years I’ve gotten high performance reviews after feeling that I’ve done at best a mediocre job all year.

I almost feel like I need them to finally give me a bad review. Tell me that they notice how much I’m slacking off and tell me what they want me to do instead!

Boyfriend/girlfriend felt like a bit of a weird way to talk about each other when we were both in our 30s. And then fiancee was an awkward word. Maybe we should have used partner
