Spicy take around these parts.

I’m on iOS, but I gave it a few minutes of swiping to help out.

I don’t really understand what this means. Can you explain the implications?

Of course not. I’m in love with a whole person, not her appearance. I love her fierce intellect, her passion for justice, her wanderer’s spirit. I love that we can sit together and watch anything only for it to lead to a new and endlessly fascinating discussion.

Makeup doesn’t affect any of that.

I like how makeup highlights her favorite features or hides when she feels tired or insecure. I like that it helps her feel more fully herself. I think it’s great that makeup can do that for her.

She will always be attractive to me for who she is. How she looked may have helped me first talk to her, but who she is has kept us talking for 16 years.

Moon Reader+ is probably the only thing I still miss from Android.

As a former 3a owner this project is entirely awesome to me. Really cool stuff and really well done.

It could be worse. You could fall in love with someone, get married and, after years of happiness together, that person discovers Crocs and loves them to death.

My poor wife. She did say for better or worse, however.

Yeah, I got tired of being the product. It used to be Google phones were significantly cheaper, that’s just not nearly as much a thing anymore.

Then you have to take the additional steps of finding privacy focused roms etc… It just wasn’t worth the savings to me. There’s things about Android I miss, but the fact that my phone is good for years and years is such a game changer.

I have been gradually transitioning over to proton for additional privacy and I’ve basically completely divorced myself from Google at this point.

Any good tutorial videos you’d recommend?

The grinder for pepper corns. It gives you more flavor than ground pepper.

It’s a hot take! Wouldn’t be good if it weren’t inflammatory.

Pepper Mills are overrated.

So the fine edge of the blade can warp as you use it. The honing rod helps straighten that back out to improve cutting. The whetstone actually removes bits of steel in order to create a new edge. Honing should be done regularly, but using a whetstone to sharpen the blade is periodic.

A honing rod and whetstone fulfill different functions. You should ideally be using both for knife maintenance.

Anyone have thoughts on this? I’ve only played a little, so most of this doesn’t mean too much to me yet.

Veh-soo-vee-us.

It’s not like the day was chosen randomly. June 19th is when the emancipation proclamation was read in Texas, the last state to hear it.

It’s literally just a portmanteau of June Nineteenth.

Portmanteaus are super common and lots of fun. I have no idea why you’d take issue with this particular one.

Serious answer:

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I believe in a religion because I’ve found it to be personally beneficial.

I was a pastor for many years and saw much of the best and worst religion had to offer. I haven’t stepped foot inside a church since COVID broke out and don’t know that I ever will again.

My personal beliefs are still a significant part of my life, but I understand why someone would ask the question that spawned this discussion.

And a Supreme Court eager to throw its political weight around.
