    I agree with this image, and I'm quite curious to see what "rich" tastes like... But I feel like the mechanics of this picture took me a second or two longer than it should to understand.

    Edit: like are they balancing their unicycles on the larger cylinder? They must have really good balance to manage that for more than a second. And if that is true, what happens if they fall forwards? I see the danger if them falling backwards, but does that mean they just can't fall forwards?







  • Wasn't there a study that found if you tell people you're working on something, you get the same brain reward chemicals as if you actually did it and told everyone? So if you tell people before you're done, you might just go "meh, I'm good, the rest sounds hard". Or something like that.

  • Are you saying things like "You're right, you did nothing wrong here, but I get why she said that."? Maybe if you can't just go "You're right, that sucked" at least you could switch the order, and say "Look, women have to look out for men acting a certain way, but she was wrong to say that, because there was no way she should have thought that from you holding the door". Make sure the "you didn't do anything wrong" is the last part you say, instead of the "women have to be careful"

    I am truly sorry your boyfriend caught covid and is having a bad reaction to it. I don't believe prayer has an effect, but I will keep him in my thoughts in case that somehow transfers anything to him. I wish this virus hadn't been so politicized and that we had taken strict measures to ensure it died out early, instead of the perpetual covid twilight we seem to be doomed to live in from now on. If blaming any specific person gives you peace and helps you deal with your situation, I say go for it, and I hope you and your boyfriend recover as well as is possible, and have many happy days to come.
