Kudos on calling out your own mistakes.

We all get things wrong; what’s important is that you own up to it when that happens and correcting yourself.

The most fucked up thing about this was that her single issue was demanding everyone support a genocide.

I feel like this is one of those “a broken clock is right twice a day” scenarios.

“Department of War” is a far more accurate description of what they do. Calling it the “Department of Defense” is just propaganda/political spin.

That being said, Trump’s motivation for this is idiotic and the way he’s going about it is dumb as hell, but that actually is a better name.

It’s not a name. It’s literally just the word “God” in Arabic.

That’s an amazingly good way to describe it.

The reason you develop these compulsions is not because you want to do those things. Rather, it is because of fear about what will happen if you don’t do them.

I loved the first one but couldn’t finish the second… what I saw of it was good but it was too much for me.

[potential spoiler] the reason it was too much for meI’m very squeamish about seeing young children in danger.

I did see the prequel “A quiet place, day one” and it was incredibly good. Different from the first but on par with it.

Yes and no… with a real (not digital) piano it actually does matter how you hit the keys. If you don’t press quickly enough the hammer won’t have enough momentum to actually strike the strings.

I believe this effect is more pronounced with a grand piano, but the same thing can happen with an upright piano too.

EDIT: It’s not as finicky as with other instruments, though, so your core point is still a good one… just with caveats.

Technically, “bail” is a word… it’s not the right word but it is a word.

That was my thought exactly.

That guy is younger than me but looks old enough to be my dad.

This is what they have always been.

Entering and escaping are two wildly different things.

It can enter, but not escape.
