I’m assuming there was a bungie, or a inflated landing pad...

he devised an experiment where volunteers jumped off a 150-foot platform

At first I wasn’t too taken aback because I grew up in Florida, and when hurricanes were on the way it was common for stores to be cleaned out. However, that usually lasted about a week. I gotta say, it is eerie to see empty shelves consistently for going on three weeks at my grocery store.*

It’s a good thing now to frequent Asian businesses in general. They’re hurting. One of my favorite places to get Chinese takeout decided to close because they were getting so many nasty phone calls from racists blaming them for the virus. People fucking suck.

A few days ago, I was the crazy middle aged woman wandering the aisles exclaiming, “I’ve never seen anything like this in my 50 years.” And I haven’t. My mother would have recognized the empty shelves. She grew up during the Great Depression. TBH, I was saying what I could see in other people’s eyes, the astonishment,…

People are being told to clean more often and more thoroughly than before. The other reason is hoarding.  Folks are worried that if they dont stock up now, the items wont be available later due to hoarders (which in turn they are doing themselves) 

The shock of seeing empty shelves is hard to get used to. I haven’t been to the store since last week - not looking forward to making the trip this week.

Now is a very important time to show discipline with your food. Stocking up on a pantry doesn’t mean pounding everything you just bought into your face, as understandable as emotional eating is; but those supplies are meant to last. It will also help you avoid setting off deeper shame and emotional turmoil from the…

So let me get this straight

IESTAETNT, the second writer, reflects me right now so much I feel like I’m looking in a mirror. That’s both really helpful and terrifying.

LW#1, your “wife” wanted to have that one last meeting in the hopes that she could convince the other dirtbag to leave his wife and family so she could do then same. He turned her down and now she’s going back to the safer choice. Dump her and avoid years of pain and misery. 

He always striked me as a very genuine personality. I am so happy they retained their independence.  Ubisoft seems to me a company that really tries to learn and do better.

For Poké Stops, Niantic seems to want “landmarks” to be designated for them. Most of them are ported from Ingress, which makes it a bit more sense as there you have more to do besides just spinning them. If you do manage to get to Level 40 (which I admit takes a LOT), there’s a feature that lets you suggest a Stop.

This is ridiculous.  You should wash your hands before and after eating, so germs should not be an issue.

I don’t have enough eyes to roll at this.

Once again I see them take something that I feel like is really not just popular in the midwest, and assign it to the midwest. Never lived in the Midwest but being at family gatherings in Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Missouri, I have seen these my whole life. 

Midwesterner here. No, relish trays are not super fancy or even part of all midwest family gatherings. They existed at our family get togethers. They were neat. And it’s nice to see it was something that some of us have in common.
The appetizers before our main entree and sides at a gathering were usually ‘fancier’…

Man, lots of food snobs on here.
I remember relish trays— there is something nostalgic about them, reminding me of fun family gatherings when my grandparents and all of my aunts and uncles were alive and well. They always somehow felt “special” amongst our entire food spread, as it was set out from the beginning of…

Well if you made yourself a relish tray spread every night you never need to put away the dish...

The author is calling it that. Which is why Midwesterners complain about this site’s depictions of Midwestern food.
