@summoningsalt @MikeBartner Wait are you a Philly sports fan

@MikeBartner broski if we're gonna be mutuals you gotta learn "speedrunning" is one word

Philadelphia speed running themselves to 91 points, no playoffs and the 14th overall pick is hilarious I can’t lie.

@squirtstain En passant and I bet she does

@magikwand No blue checkmark, engagement baiting for the love of the game

am i tweaking or is this not crazy

@callanable I’m happy for you. Or sorry that happened. I ain’t reading all that

it's been almost six months since I did something... admittedly inadvisable: moved across the country to live with a guy I met online a few months prior and had spent under three weeks with in person. I'm reflecting after an NYC visit, where my last three relationships ended. I'd moved in with boyfriends before—deliberately, we gone apartment hunting, ostensibly preparing to build our lives together. each time after moving in, I was so excited to make it my home. each time, I'd thought found my person—no more tiptoeing around inconsiderate roommates! each time, things went wrong. they complained that they didn't feel "at home" with me. that I took up too much space, made them small. I tried so hard to include them in decorating decisions, but they never wanted to be involved—they just got upset whenever I made any changes to the home. and they left me thinking I was controlling, dominant, unsafe. so this summer, I found myself sleeping in the attic over my dad's garage, surrounded by the vestiges of those failed homes. a lazy susan I bought for that deep kitchen cabinet, a whiteboard calendar with last month's dates on it, hanging closet organizers without a closet to hang in. it had happened again. I put years into building a home and was now effectively homeless. I had many reasons to feel bitter, but it was obvious that my previous attempts were all wrong. past-me thought I could make anything work, but never asked "should I?" so, in that attic with no running water over my dad's garage, I began to recalibrate. I'd connected with someone here who I really liked; I'd slid into his DMs months earlier, and he'd been a gently supportive presence through the most destabilizing and brutal few months of my life. he saw me at my lowest and didn't flinch. he didn't pursue me or demand anything, but he didn't run away either. I basically handed him the book of Callan: here's all of my past, my flaws, my mistakes, my shame—please reject me now! (I do not recommend this, by the way.) and things progressed from there. fast-forward to October, I showed up to his house with a suitcase and my cat. we wanted to see if we could work as quickly as possible. (I can't say I recommend this either!) he said, "take up as much space as you want or need—whichever is larger." but in my head those voices from the previous living situations echoed: Callan is domineering, overbearing, scary, too much. so I sat on the floor on my laptop every day, staying small. I put on headphones even when he was at work. I said yes to everything no matter what. I shut off my preferences. I did chores only when he was out of the house, and when he did the dishes I feared he was cleaning "at me." he picked me up off the floor and put me on the couch. told me to play my music on the speakers. he asked "are you sure?" when I automatically said yes. he listened when I said what I like/dislike. he laughed when I asked if he was mad at me for not doing the dishes. so when I came home from NYC to find the house completely changed, I remembered how my exes hated when I rearranged or organized something, even if they later admitted it was an improvement. now, I'm on the other side, and it just... feels like love. it is love. after six months here, after so many years of being told I needed to be smaller, I'm still learning to take up space. sometimes you're not the bad things people call you, you're just trying to be right for the wrong people.

@Pinkpaws1016 @bluewmist Adding onto this, canned soup with frozen veggies is like 200 calories and very filling. Just watch the sodium content

@bluewmist I lost about 20lbs (regained it though unfortunately) but what helped a lot was finding low calorie foods that were actually filling. For example, a ham & cheese hot pocket is like. 280 calories and would last me hours, while something like Healthy Choice pasta would last 2 hours

People who lost a lot of weight, what was the one small daily habit that actually changed everything for you?

@citrusgirlpaige If it makes you feel better, this is my closest one. I’ve never even been to one 😭

this should be illegal why is it so far )):

@terrafically Nice setup! But only one of these can fit in my pocket without something getting snagged. Imo, I really hate the switch style handhelds - they’re extremely uncomfy.

when people say they miss handheld gaming... i dont think they realize theres actually never been a better time than now. these are all the consoles i own. i hardly even play anything on my pc except for pvp games like deadlock occasionally.

@bugfleur According to my ex, 6 years apparently fine

how long after the relationship is a good time to still say i love you

The year is 2026. We are at war with Iran, the market is in shambles, and Nyan Cat is a confirmed alcoholic

@fesshole Anytime I gave a customer a cappuccino, they’d complain it was too airy and send it back. I’d remake it as a latte. Eventually I only ever made lattes for all espresso drinks

I used to work in a pub that sold coffee. Every time someone ordered a coffee I gave them a latte, no matter what they ordered. Cappuccino? Latte in a bowl cup & chocolate. Flat White? Small latte. Latte? Latte. Must have done 1,000 lattes, no one said a word..

Listen you could shit talk Americans for countless things I don't think we could reasonably argue against but I'll be damned if I'm going to be lectured about how Americans are rude and have annoying voices by the French.

@junomutt_ @CultureCrave @GIBiz They recognized they did wrong and changed it. Personally, I always praise the people in my life for changing for the better. But hey, that’s just me

@CultureCrave @GIBiz people acting like this is a praise worthy change it should've been like this in the first place
