Like any place, there are pros and cons, and since I've never visited, I haven't been exposed to enough to form a proper opinion. However, here are some of my thoughts:

• The culture seems to appreciate intricacy and beauty, with rich colors, complex spicing of food, and gorgeously detailed textiles. Minimalism seems anathema on an aesthetic level.
• The Indians I've known have mostly been very warm, kind, patient, pragmatic people.
• There is a worrying divide between the sexes, which IMO is unhealthy and contributes to sexism, sexual assault, and loneliness. I don't get it because you guys invented the kama sutra!
• I'm not sure why this is, but there seems to be a huge tolerance of unsanitary conditions. We've all seen footage of people wading in horribly polluted rivers, or beachfronts covered in trash and human poop, or filthy public bathrooms covered in feces or period blood. Same goes for unsafe conditions - massively overloaded trains, deadly chaotic traffic, etc.
• It seems to me that it must be hard to get ahead in a country with so many people because there's a massive amount of competition, plus limited opportunities. I think this is why Indians are some of the hardest working people I've ever met, and also why some of the Indians I've known are willing to undercut the next guy to get ahead.

Spring, because everything is coming to life after the dreary gray winter. I can work in my garden, it's not humid or too hot, and the mosquitos aren't out yet.

Ooh user merde alors suggested:

did you enable "auto play GIFs" in settings>look&feel ?

I did that, then closed and reopened the app, and now gifs are working!

Nope, even when I tap it's still a static image. 0.0.67 here as well.

Tell a joke or story in a linear fashion. I'm always fucking up, or realizing halfway through that I've left out an important detail. It's how my mind works but I'm sure it's frustrating to others. Plus I just get flop sweat sometimes.

Smart idea, piratoes are dangerous.

The funny thing is I'm sure you swallow larger pieces of food all the time with no trouble!

The Sound of Her Voice was heartbreaking!

Trainspotting

God I wish I could've seen this!

Mmmmm birch beer

My Les Paul. I go in fits and spurts with learning to play the guitar, and haven't gotten around to figuring out the effects of all combinations of the volume & control knobs.

Ever read Parable of the Sower? Yeah, that.

Dark gray or navy jeans, charcoal sleeveless tee, black & gray plaid flannel, Docs or Chucks, wallet chain. This is exactly what I wear in real life. Plus a bandana if I don't feel like washing my hair that day.

It's about what I would expect from the kind of person who buys squeezy jelly.

In college for me it was:

• Gray - physics
• Blue - chemistry
• Black - biology
• Green or orange - math
• Red - French

Ah I love lightning bugs! My backyard will be beautiful in a few weeks 💛

I do some self-care things that don't seem huge but really help me feel like I'm on top of things.

For example, I have a skincare routine which is a little time-consuming (about 15 minutes each time) but has really helped take my skin from normal to beautiful. I'm 42 but I don't look my age, and in part that's down to genetics, but also hydration and skin care.

I also see a personal trainer three times a week at my gym for strength training, and even though I hate cardio, I try to incorporate it on my off days.

Nutrition is an important part of self-care for me, and I cook most meals at home. I love going out to eat but the food in most restaurants is so unhealthy and/or high-calorie, which is especially annoying as a short woman. I try to limit myself to about 1450-1500 calories a day, and getting an entrée and a couple of drinks at a restaurant can easily meet my daily calorie limit if I'm not careful.

Also, nail art! I've recently gotten into stamping and it's so much fun, and I get a lot of compliments :)

And I have a strict dog-snuggling schedule, which always brings a smile to my face ;)

Don't forget Legate Ghemor!

And I think you're thinking of Tora Ziyal, who is Dukat's half-Bajoran daughter.

Look I don't know you, but I assure you you're worthy of more love than this manchild is capable of giving you. Do yourself a favor and chuck this loser in the dumpster, and don't look back.

Also:

I'm only really with him still because he's not like actively abusive to me, dating strangers is scary, and I don't wanna hurt him by breaking up with him

IMO none of these are the right reason to be with anyone.
