That was my question too.
You can't just mail cash, so you have to deposit it in order to pay.
Seems like a lot of extra steps, but if that's what it takes to help you budget and save then why not?

Good call.
The song describes being the toxic/possessive half of a fwb situation.

I usually hate that kind of movie, but it was really good.
Seeing Kevin James actually act was pretty neat, too.

I mean...he kinda fuckin nailed it in that movie.
Blew me away, anyway.
The last movie I had seen him in was when my kids watched Pixels for a goddamned year, so I kept having to double check that it was really him.

Reply to Today I learned Tabula rasa (blank slate) is the theory that individuals are born without built-in mental content and therefore all knowledge comes from experience or perception, which is in direct contrast to Innatism which is the idea that the mind is born with ideas, knowledge, and beliefs. by St3v3nMS3
I used to think there was some merit to tabula rasa theory.
But then I had kids.
They had clearly defined personalities and tendencies from day one.
Not saying I know why. Is it chemical? Genetic? Spiritual? Who knows.
But anyone who has spent any time with newborns can probably confirm that they are not born with blank slates.

Reply to My 15yo chonker caught a mouse by _basquiat
No matter how old or chonky...cat knows how to catch mouse.
Our 7 year old indoor cat never caught a thing in her life, didn't even have much time with her momcat, according to the rescue.
But she started asking to go into the garage, so we allowed it. A few days later she started bringing us dead chipmunks.
Cats are murder machines, all of them.

Their chemistry was insane.
I know they are both talented comedic performers who can work with anyone--but the way they brought the humor of their shared life experiences to life was just magical.
GingerMau t1_j67qy5s wrote
It's definitely my favourite.
If you love costume dramas. If you love them dirty/gritty. (And maybe with a small dose of spooky on the side.)
It definitely hits. Hot damn.

Reply to History content for kids by TheNumLocker
I know yall are going to hate this suggestion, but my younger teens love Drunk History.
It's hilariously funny and serves as a jumping off point for them to do their own research. They have studied several specific people and events we only learned about by watching DH.
(DH is also teaching them that too much alcohol makes you demonstrably stupid, which is a good lesson to learn at a young age.)
Yes...we watched Horrible Histories, but it always rubbed them the wrong way...trying to be too funny and silly, and over too quickly. I would have to jump in and tell them what each sketch was actually referencing. (But then the show would have done three more sketches in that time.)
They all have simplified history youtubers they watch and some of them are very good. My 12yo just did a school project on Yugoslavia after watching some youtube video about it.

Before it was ever sold in grocery stores, in about 2003... I bought a pack of 100 slices of precooked bacon from Omaha Steaks to take to a beach vacation week with the family.
It was very popular for beach breakfasts and BLTs.

My favourite is bacon, alfalfa sprouts, avocado, and a sweet onion salad dressing.

We call it a LGBT sandwich.
But you gotta smash the avocado with a little garlic and lime salt first.

If you don't understand pregnancy well enough to think that happens, don't write it into your show.
Babies change position and move around until the 9th month. The only time a baby needs to be turned is before delivery.
If the baby had been twisted enough to cause her pain (pulling away from the placenta), she actually would be in early labour.

Ask an obgyn how often a situation like that plays out.
Babies spin around and move up until the 9th month. If the baby was twisted badly enough to hurt the mother (i.e., tearing from the placenta), she would go into early labour.

I loved Dark.
I couldn't even get through the first episode of 1899.
The dialogue was just so bad and...wrong. I don't demand historical accuracy, but I like convincingly close historical accuracy. (For example, I loved The Terror.)
This show felt like it was written by a 16 year old trying to imagine the language and culture of 1899. Not actual informed adults who are somewhat familiar with the language and norms of a specific era in history.
The ridiculously inaccurate woman-in-labour scene sealed the deal for me. You don't just stop being in early labour because someone turns the baby.

I highly recommend you watch the whole clip.
It's so much worse than the headlines make it seem.
He tells a random story about watching this movie (movies?) with his kids on multiple screens, name-drops the wrong movie, and goes on so many incoherent tangents that it's a real roller-coaster.

Reply to How do genetics create diverse children? by THRWLT
Incorrect!
All sperms and eggs do not carry the same DNA. They carry a random 50% of the parent's DNA.
Otherwise, all men would only have daughters (or sons).
Sometimes dad's sperm carries the Y; sometimes it carries the X.

Reply to [OC] Please welcome my new best friend Bitey) by LanaDreamy
I love Bitey! She deserves all the love and cuddles!
If she (he?) truly is quite bitey, don't let her gnaw on your fingers. It may not hurt too much now, but as she gets bigger and stronger it will get painful real quick. And she'll be sad and confused why you are angry, because you taught her it was ok.
(Ask me how Iearned this lesson!)
Our girl (who still wants to chew on our fingers) has her own toothbrush now that we break out when she's in a bitey mood. She loves the bristles, apparently.
