fair enough! it is a convenient form of exercise.

meh; i think it’s fine to simply pick different forms of exercise if you hate running (as someone who also hates running). it’s not as if running doesn’t have downsides, either; wasn’t there just an article here about black toenails?

maybe now some people are finally understanding the frustrations of people who couldn’t play or enjoy Sekiro without difficulty settings, and were just told to go away and get over it. “if it’s too hard, it’s not for you, stop crying. the devs had a vision and shouldn’t be forced to give it up.”

... and the complainers will never see the parallels between this and how they defended the makers of Sekiro for making an ~artistic~ decision by leaving out features. this is you, guys.

they’re just as likely to be competition as they are potential dates, so i agree that it’s not conclusive and could go either way. in other words, it’s reasonable to think of both possibilities, because it doesn’t really confirm anything at all. there’s not much reason behind deciding it can only mean one thing, with…

only somewhat related + i’ve only seen a few mentions of it online, but for those that do...

chiming in on this, since i spoke in favor of keeping parenting and working reasonably separate...

oh, that’s silly. people who reproduce aren’t entitled to any special brand of respect for doing so; you either respect them as you do all fellow people, or you don’t.

no, this is definitely rude and dismissive (and pretty rich, coming from someone who complained about the “snobbery” of people in the UK). it’s different from Bong Joon-ho’s comments in that... well, she’s just being an ass (which anyone would recognize if it was coming out of someone else’s mouth). disappointing.

most people don’t know the difference/way to say “it’s not for me” vs. “it’s awful, period”. examples abound, here.

it really is ugly. along with the “artist’s” attitude. gross, all around.

RIP, sweet Ponzu.

I can’t decide if the writers were intentionally making the Flag-Smashers look like a bunch of kids flying by the seats of their pants or if the writers were actually writing by the seats of their pants. Either way, someone was sitting on their pants.

even en masse, maybe!

i swear that Jack-in-the-Box used to have a sort of meatball and ciabatta roll, and i loved that. 

not the OP, but beyond basic greetings and maybe a bit of surface-level small talk, what other interaction would be needed in the workplace, especially with a non-employee visitor that was invited by someone else?

at least for me, i’m relieved to see work culture finally changing to accept different personalities,…

ditto on the “i’m not a workplace sharer” sentiment from the other commenter... i am certain that any stories i have truly are quite boring, especially during pandemic times :P

one sort of alternative could also be trying a certain type of food that has variations in multiple cultures (especially if there’s something the kid seems particularly fond of). even as an adult, i’ve been exploring different kinds of steamed buns and dumplings, and they all seem universally delicious even though…

this! also glad this article didn’t go down a weird path about meetings and interruptions... an occasional cameo from a kid during a meeting is fine, but hearing them constantly is not. hearing you yell at them for being too loud or otherwise causing (what you perceive to be) trouble is unacceptable; that’s why…

the MO on most of these sites, honestly. wonder how long it’ll last that way.
