It’s still Minecraft and Terraria.

What’s your favourite dinosaur?

An ultrasound tech once told me that I have a cute spleen.

It’s opportunity costs all the way down, baby!

Heat to 69 in the winter, cool to 74-76 in the summer.

What did they censor? The b word?

Yes, because if you don’t do it every time, eventually you’ll forget when it really matters.

It also provides clarity to other drivers. People do dumb things in cars. If someone’s in the turning lane ahead of me without their signal, there’s part of me that’s watching to see if they’re confused and about to do something foolish. Signals = clear intentions = peace of mind.

Bathing my children, obviously.

But like… why a toilet? You could use the baking soda and vinegar in a bowl just as easily.

It feels like this is an elaborate troll. Are they hoping people will accidentally clog their toilets with eggs?

Honestly I find all of the covid years kind of hard to remember, and I know a lot of people who feel the same. I bet that Trump 1 mostly gets wrapped up and suppressed with all the rest of the general trauma.

Thanks! Slowly but surely :)

I like the in-universe swears from some of Brandon Sanderson’s fantasy novels: Rust (rusting, rusted) and storms (storming) come to mind.

A québecoise roommate of mine got her whole office yelling “chicken FRITE” (fried chicken in franglais).

“What the shoes” is kind a fun one. I’ll also yell “fudge knuckles!” which doesn’t really mean anything but is pretty satisfying to say.

Oh! I had one just like that when I was a kid!

I’m not sure about online sources, but this is a solid reference book: https://editors.ca/publications/editing-canadian-english/

Intimacy coordinators aren’t explaining how sex works to the actors, but helping to make sure that they’re comfortable with each other & what they’re being asked to do. They’re analogous to stunt coordinators in that way.

Part of this is helping actors to work through or find accommodations when they could be running up against situations that could trigger old traumas. So if one party has a history of assault, for example, the intimacy coordinator will work with them and their scene partner to make sure that what they’re acting out doesn’t mimic/mirror their experience.

Does that make sense?

Lol I can’t read today

You replied to a comment instead of the OP, so your answer looks a little funny from being out of context, that’s all.

My spouse and I were broke grad students with a baby on the way. We needed a car. Someone in our tiny town was selling a 1992 Accord for $1000 (this was in the early 2010s). We bought it and put in another $1000 to get it to run.

The only problem? It was a stick shift. I didn’t know how to drive standard; at the time, my spouse didn’t drive at all. I tried to learn, but I was so nauseated from my pregnancy that I nearly puked every time the car lurched… which was often. I never did get the hang of it. Eventually we bought a newer automatic car and traded the Accord in for a whopping $250.

These days we could weather a $2000 mistake without too many problems, but back then… yeah, that one hurt.
