Being an entomologist would be sweet as hell. You walk into the lab on a Tuesday morning and Jerry, a gray-bearded researcher with spectacles and a friendly demeanor is like, "Hey, come over here, Kevin. Come look at this bug.", and you go over there and see the coolest fucking bug.

Ask your doctor if Leah is right for you. She's cute, artistic, fucks by the lake, and never turns down a good salad.

I couldn't handle that many centipedes in close proximity to my body. Imagine if they all got out inside of your girdle.

I just want the app to stop fucking jumping to a new video any time I lightly touch or don't touch the bottom-right quadrant of my screen. It's like every goddamn day. I can't even lay the phone down sometimes without it immediately killing my video and jumping to the next one. Three different phones now. It's the app.

Rogan doesn't give a shit about anything short of his own wealth (and somehow gatekeeping the comedy scene despite being a truly shit-tier comedian). This is why he left California for Texas, despite being incredibly wealthy before and after the Spotify deal. This is almost certainly why he and other ultra-wealthy assholes endorsed Trump.

I've never commented on this sub, so I apologize if this angry comment isn't in line with pleasant politics. Didn't mean to be a dick.

It's unfortunately very difficult to up and immigrate to Canada. You typically need a spouse who is a citizen, or have a very valuable skillset to offer. I believe you can come here as a foreign worker and apply for permanent residency after working full-time for a year, but I don't know what the stipulations or rate of acceptance is there.

I personally immigrated here from the States back in 2017 to be with my wife, and the process was grueling. They require a lot of evidence to prove the relationship was not initiated with the intent of immigrating.

Does he always look like that or does he just impulsively stare at the camera that way?

It's always interesting to see who other people keep as company in Stardew Valley. I always felt much older than the characters pictured here and never spent much time building up relationships with them. I should do a playthrough sometime where I allow my character/personality be much younger.

It is a little awkward that I'm forced into the Easter Egg hunt when I perceive my character to be in his late-20s.

Hate when that happens.

 

My daughter (4) is very into exploring cities, homes and villages in Skyrim, feeding aliens in No Man's Sky, and cleaning houses in House Flipper. She gets annoyed in games like House Flipper because she can't leave the property to explore all of the visible houses on the block. I'd like to find other PC games that are relatively kid-friendly (or at least with my guidance and supervision) and easy for her to just wander about and be nosy.

Any suggestions? Simple adventure/fantasy would be great and provide us with something to progress through together, but anything that lets you explore a neighborhood and/or poke around in buildings and such would be perfect. I'm picking up Goat Simulator today for that exact purpose.

I appreciate it in advance.

 
  • Elicit

I seem to experience intense feelings of nostalgia rather frequently in my everyday life. It's brought on by the simplest or mundane of things, like the way the sun hits the top of conifers in the morning or evening, the trilling of a bird in the distance during certain seasons or weather conditions, the way a wall clock ticks away steadily in the stillness of my home (especially when accompanied by motes of dust in the sunlight), or the smell of a running air conditioner.

These moments ~~illicit~~ elicit both mysterious and beautiful emotions, but are hurled at me constantly. While I enjoy the feelings they give me, I seem to experience them far more often than I think most would consider normal. I don't know if there is a term for this sense of hyper-nostalgia, or what (if anything) it's indicative of. Most of it is tied to insignificant moments from my childhood, like lying in the melting snow on a Spring day (the trilling bird), or sitting bored in the car waiting on my mother (the sun on conifers), but a lot of it is more ambiguous.

So I thought it would be fun to ask other people what their strongest (and perhaps recurring) moments of nostalgia are triggered and/or tied to. What are some of yours?
