I am with you 100%. Early-to-mid spring also does it to me as well when the days and nights are just right.

Yes and everyone is like OH MY GOD I HAVE THE BEST HIKE/BIKE RIDE/CAMPING/BEACH IDEA YOU HAVE EVER HEARD OF AND YOU NEED TO STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND COME WITH ME NOOOOOOW and act like you are broken if you aren’t in the right mood for it. I may very well like these things but need to build up to it.

That’s kind of you to say. There was definitely no way I could have foreseen what the Web 2.0 era would be like.

When the internet became more of a common thing, I really believed that it would bring people together. That all everyone needed was to be exposed to information. That seems so very naive now.

I grew up in a very conservative household and genuinely believed everything I was taught due to not being exposed to other ideas. Over time, even when in high school, I started to notice that people hated things without understanding them. Ask someone to explain to you why communism is bad, for instance, and they probably can’t because they know nothing about it.

Over time, I became exposed to more diverse people, educated people, people from different places. I went to school and got my masters degree. I have found that I am frankly fairly liberal by US standards.

It’s not just CA. The closest one to the west coast is in Arizona. Most are in the south with some extending into the Midwest or up the east coast.

The sad thing is that I really like the Waffle House but, for the most part, they just don’t exist in states that are worth living in.

You should do what you are comfortable with. If he is genuinely better, then that is fantastic for him. You likely still carry some trauma around from that experience, and your ability to move past it may not match his. That is fine, you don’t have to do anything. If you want to meet him, do. If you don’t, then don’t.

My only suggestion is this: if you do meet him, do it without your son along. Meet him in some place public, and perhaps even take a friend or family member with you. Only involve your son later if you are sure about it.

Easiest: My brother in a field in front of his trailer with beers in hand. Hardest: Destination wedding on an island. I disliked it.

I’m jealous. When it’s like “wait so I have to destroy then redo my factory from scratch so that I can now make gizmos” I become frustrated and leave. I also dislike resource gathering because that feels like actual work.

Factory games make me shudder because it just feels like actual work.

People will often say that they need a job. I don’t think that most repeat that because they instantly understand their mistake.

Get a metal colander.

I accept that some here think I was wrong. I disagree. It was also not worth the effort anyone has put into this conversation.

And people here are projecting their anxiety about the situation towards an unimportant comment rather than at the people who are the real criminals here. It shows immaturity.

I fully agree with you and think that this is the logical consequence of fascist thinking. This event is unconscionable and I presume that there is a line of lawyers waiting to offer their services. They will be made whole and then some…eventually. I feel terrible for the trauma they gave gone through.

Next you’ll tell me that suggesting to look both ways before crossing the road is blaming the victims of traffic incidents.

Not trying to blame victims here but there are reasons you don’t keep your life savings in cash. Civil forfeiture has been around for a long time

Are they chelicerates?

If they were different when new then it likely has to do with what threads were available at the time of production.

Those spiders you find inside may be of a type completely adapted to living indoors with humans. Putting one outside means death.
