Shit, my bus stop was at least a half mile away without so much as a sidewalk anywhere, just a dirt road and a canal. You didn't even get a bus stop if you were less than 2 miles from school. We regularly rode our bikes like 12 miles away from home to the movie theater, I think we were pre-teens. Technically I could have ridden my bike to grade 6 (it was on the way to the movie theater), but who wants to show up to 6th grade everyday drenched in sweat or rain (it would always have been one or the other).

You're a biological garbage disposal and your shit goes down the same sanitary sewer line. It's just food scraps like peels, stems, and trimmings. Hardly qualifies as 'insane'.

I'll phrase it like a shower thought:

"Avoiding politics is about as useless as avoiding economics, math, science, or the arts; they permeate everything we do. We even use them to define what it means to be human. We might as well avoid breathing."

I think avoiding partisanship and incivility might be more productive, but it has the problem of being more vague and requiring judgement, thus requiring more effort to enforce fairly and consistently. I don't think there is an answer that will satisfy everyone. Avoiding politics may be a good rule for this community, even if it's pointless.

My work boot socks are Kirkland brand Merino and I've bought some Smartwool socks. This is not a recommendation of those brands, just the easiest one's to find with a reliable amount of wool when I bought them. They're both ok, but really any sock with a sufficient amount of wool in the blend and a good fit will work. The one's with more wool and less stretch will obviously not stretch as much, but they will eventually confirm to your foot shape surprisingly well. The one's with less wool in the blend also seem to not last as long. If you're wearing them in a boot and expect some actually dirt getting in there, a thicker sock will hold up better and protect your feet better long term. At least that is my impression.

Opposite. I wear wool socks. Sometimes my socks are sopping wet, but my feet feel dry.

Brussel sprouts used to be truly awful, made me literally wretch. Now I eagerly make and order them as a bar snack.

To be fair there are two reasons beyond my changing tastes for this. First, my mom liked to steam brussel sprouts whole and serve them with margarine, salt, and pepper, now I generally cold sear them or roast them in the oven with much better seasoning. Maybe even some bacon pieces and blue cheese mixed in. Second, brussel sprouts did actually change over time to get less bitter and awful since I was a kid.

Getting frustrated by things you don't understand is an acceptable excuse? I saw your spicy reply before theirs in my inbox, that's all. Not sure why you're inserting all this drama into what was basically an very in context conversation.

Frustrated by new thing. Makes it weird

The new thing is this. Don't make it weird.

Okay I understand.

Good. It's not that you didn't know, it's the attitude.

Isn't that the whole point of the post? Having conversations like this regularly.

Good. To be clear, I was not trying to be critical of you not knowing the terms, just the attitude I found gross.

I want off Mr. Bones wild ride.

Sound pretty critical. This isn't the take of someone that's genuinely curious and asking in good faith.

Weird thing to say. Cis is gender. Het is attraction.

I live in a hot climate so my favorite teas are iced.

Iced oolong sweetened only with some lychee chunks is the only thing close to boba I can stomach. I also like a good iced jasmine green tea. Or just a strong green tea hot or iced.

Also, isn't that the whole point of scary movies? I love scary movies and I show that by reacting to the good jump scares, gore, and creepiness. If it bored me so much I didn't react, I probably would find something else to watch. My partner gets a real kick out of watching me jump too.
