In middle school, a kid got caught masturbating in study hall. I never saw him again after that. Word was that he moved away out of embarrassment. Parents probably just home schooled him or something.

In a completely different direction, my class broke the “suicide school” moniker. We were the first graduating class in like 10 years to not have a suicide.

In the northeast, Aroma Joe’s is better and uses ethically sourced beans. They focus on their drinks and food is an afterthought, exactly what I’m looking for. I just want a tasty, quick, inexpensive espresso drink that I just can’t make at home.

Who checks notes cares?

I honestly thought they went out of business. The only one I might see on a regular basis closed and I didn’t see any on a recent short road trip. Whatever, their food was mediocre anyway.

Ehhhh…It’s pajama day, not “what you wear while sleeping” day. Pajamas are a type of clothing, ranging from little kid onesies to lounge pants/shorts and an oversized shirt.

For example, I wear pajama pants and a t-shirt in the evening, but strip down to my boxers before getting in bed. If I participated in pajama day, I’d wear the bottoms and my funniest t-shirt, not just boxers.

Yeah sure WE decided to do that. Even many of the people who voted for the pedo-in-chief don’t like the tariffs.

You shouldn’t bully Martina McFly. She’ll hop in her DeLorean and you’ll just fade away.

I had a Chevy Caliber named Ex.

Hey internet, stop reminding me of how old I am. My body does that just fine, thank you very much!

It’s a Hot Dog Summer!

I distinctly remember the Berlin Wall coming down. It was a big deal for a while. I couldn’t tell you why it was important, but I knew it was happening.

As far as for keeping my heart and hormones in check, they are. One of the advantages of being in my mid thirties, I guess.

Yeah, still that age when that stuff can be unpredictable in others. Heck I know plenty of 40+ who can’t do that. Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders, good luck!

Whatever happened to antidisestablishmentarianism?

I think that’s the play here. Mostly just ride this train as it is and enjoy it. Make sure you tell and show her how glad you are that she’s back in your life. If she’s interested in more, then she probably has similar concerns. Nobody likes to be romantically embarrassed…

You can try small things to see how she responds. Talk about needing a vacation. If she responds with “take one and visit me haha” then you know she wants to see you in person, but is playing it off as a joke in case you don’t feel the same way. Start off light and watch out for these from her as well.

I imagine you’re concerned with “missing your shot” like in TV and movies. “I gave him all these hints but he never made a move on me” just doesn’t happen in meaningful relationships. If you’re matching her level of engagement and responding honestly but gently, then you’ll do fine. If she does pull this, then you’ll have dodged a bullet.

The fact that you’re reaching out for advice tells me that you truly care for and respect her enough to make sure you’re doing it right. I think you’re on the right track. The hard part is keeping your heart and hormones in check.

Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. Damn you, Large Marge!

Darn. I was hoping they’d reproduce when you get them wet. Time to try feeding it after midnight.

And then there’s this. https://youtube.com/shorts/NDvaRF4HQHQ

I only lose my mind over advanced calculus. That’s some rough stuff.

When did I stumble into an AI recreation of Lemmy? This is on brand, but something isn’t quite right.

Again, Vietnam makes the US look like a bunch of chumps.

So he doesn’t like that the name is essentially named after his position, as in Commander-in-chief? I mean what other reason would they name a DC sports team the Commanders?
