The original lyrics and singer are great too.

Username checks out. That’s interesting, I don’t doubt these experiences happen. In fact I thought you and OP would be the more common experience.

Acknowledged OP edit aside…

I can’t say I’ve experienced that illusion myself. I do wonder if there’s something to your question that has to do with Circadian Rhythm or waking up more when you see sunlight.

Calling someone cowardly was my understanding of chickenshit.

1990’s? At least in Canada.

That I didn’t know!

In the future, buy loose kernels in jars. They’re the cheapest popcorn in the store. For now you could just tear open the bags.

I don’t think this is challenging enough to NEED a glass lid but it does help of course. A metal lid will do. You can just go by ear. Once the popping frequency dies off, stop.

Avocado oil has a very high smoke point, you won’t reach it making popcorn. I’ll explain why. Add some to the pan. I use quite a bit, I like it better than butter so it’s the only fat I add.

Optionally buy the salts/fake butter combo flavor cinemas use. Sift it over cold pan to taste. Otherwise, use what you like for seasoning.

Turn the stove to max heat.

Dump in kernels.

Cover and wait until a small handful of kernels to start popping.

TURN OFF THE STOVE. The residual heat in the stove/pan will fully pop all your kernels without burning the earliest kernels to pop. Shake your pan gently now and then to get the kernels stuck in the already popped corn to drop back down.

That’s it!

The title maybe, unless that was a stylistic choice.

You’ll be fine for now so long as you’re not already a Person of Interest of a three letter agency.

despite never feeling safe or in control behind the wheel

I have anxiety and learning to drive was a temporary hell for me too. I don’t really have a choice unless I want to work at McDonalds until I die of old age. The career opportunities aren’t accessible without a car. That’s big empty Alberta with shite underfunded public transportation for you though.

If do you eventually have to drive, better not wait or the fear after that crash will cripple you the longer the gap is.

So the question is really whether or not you can get by without learning the skill. You do eventually gain confidence via practice. However yeah, there’s always inherent danger from you and any human sharing the road with you. Everyone will make mistakes. Some end very badly. Ultimately it’s your choice. You should know by now if you can potentially survive independently without a vehicle or not where you live.

This you can ignore if you don’t respond to everything new or scary in your life like you are with driving:

I had a friend who spoke like this all the time and she ended up being the living embodiment of Learned Helplessness. I could elaborate, but it’s a dreadful story and ends in a very early totally preventable death. I worry your loved ones are enabling you here by dealing with the hard stuff. The people you crashed into by your BF, and your dad for the aftermath.

Both groups are beliefs without evidence and authoritarian daddy issues, make sense to me.

The list of who not to avoid I think is much shorter.

That, and a lot of questions about ease of use too, but I answered them neutral because some are bears to set up, others are one click. Idk it depends.

System76 left a really bad taste in my mouth.

I can’t speak to Cosmic, but their existing system updater tool/app store was a crash prone pile of garbage that never got fixed for years. That’s right, the tool they shipped with was known broken open issue on github for YEARS. I know they were working on a replacement at a glacial pace that’s probably out by now, but I gave up waiting.

Then one day I updated and the latest linux kernel just didn’t work on my S76 branded laptop. Didn’t for MONTHS.

Maybe they’ve improved since, but I’m never giving them money again or using their software.

I view them as incompetent.

Fuck the pope, and fuck the poeple that support his hate religion.

Hear hear!

Like his predecessor, Leo opposes the idea of ordaining female deacons. That’s in keeping with thousands of years of Catholic understanding, as he told journalists at a 2023 conference."

While Francis was known for his efforts to make the church more open to members of the LGBTQ+ community — famously asking, “Who am I to judge?” — Leo may not follow in his footsteps.

In a 2012 address, Leo expressed concern that Western culture promotes “enormous sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the Gospel,” specifically referencing abortion, the “homosexual lifestyle” and “alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children.”

Considers atheists deplorables. Doesn’t really know what we are at all. Ignorant.

Those allegations, according to Pearson, were primarily about Pope Leo XIV’s dealings with Father James Ray, a priest accused of abusing minors. Nearly a decade later, Ray’s ministry had been allowed to move to the Augustinians’ St. John Stone Friary in Chicago, despite the building being near a Catholic elementary school, the Chicago-Sun Times reported in 2021. Records obtained by the paper show that church officials approved the transfer, noting there was “no school in the immediate area.”

Another defender of child fuckers.

Humans don’t plan ahead for preventables and get angry if you diminish current QoL for long term safety. We know this. Earth getting a direct hit solar flare ends civilization. There’s no divine safety guard rails, we’d just be fucked. Probably not extinction though. Just a lot of violence, extremism, and starvation getting to that point of very diminished stability again.

I like your use of “when” because it is fairly likely to happen one day. It already has, and Morse code had just been invented IIRC. Not that long ago, just wasn’t a big deal then.

Did you hear the news about definitive proof of rogue black holes? Billions of them exist in the milky way it is thought now zipping around fucking shit up.

Does it matter?

I don’t mean that in a dismissive way. Actually think about it.
