Mont P. Cirus

@wolverinecanuck @BertaLovin @MissyE2024 I don’t have a choice. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@ModinVA @BertaLovin @MissyE2024 Why do travel there if it’s so bad??

@BertaLovin @wolverinecanuck @MissyE2024 This is a true statement. I travel there often and completely agree.

@wolverinecanuck @MissyE2024 Toronto is a cesspool

@Shaughn_A2 In the 80s I didn’t even know if my teachers were married. They shared next to nothing about their personal lives. Doesn’t matter how anyone identifies, teachers should be telling these kids to mind their own business.

Apparently nobody that would care is significant in her life enough to share this with, as opposed to the kids of parent who never asked for her to share all this personal shit. These is the kind of woman who grooms/rapes your daughters in the classroom.

@JayC_Hi This is chemical sensitivity. She is allergic to a product she is using everyday. Could be soap, makeup, or cleaning products. Get a chemical sensitivity test. The hospital will just give her steroid cream, which is a temporary relief.

Tay bạn em bị làm sao mấy bác ạ, nổi hột nước gì nhìn sần sần mà nó ngứa thôi rồi Này có phải do nguồn nước không các bác nhỉ

@drinkonsaturday My grandfather picked up body pieces on the beaches of Normandy. I think you’ll be ok.

A midlife crisis is that gut-punch moment—usually 40s-50s—when the script you followed stops working. You wake up, stare at the mortgage/kids/career, and think: "Is this it?" It's regret + mortality + "what if." The classic version hits after decades of relative stability: house paid, pension building, kids launched. You bought the myth of linear progress, then rebel by buying a Corvette or quitting for Bali. For millennials, it's weirder. No stable baseline. 9/11, Great Recession, housing crash, wars, gig economy, pandemics, inflation, AI disruption—your adulthood was a permanent turbulence simulation. The "crisis" isn't losing the dream; it's realizing the dream was sold to boomers. You adapted faster, built side hustles, delayed milestones, questioned institutions early. Stability feels like a luxury, not a right. What’s ahead? Not "calling your own" in the old sense—no guaranteed pension castle. But radical ownership: your skills, networks, values, small empires (family, community, creations). Look forward to deliberate reinvention at 45, not crisis. Compound resilience. Legacy isn't assets; it's antifragility in chaos. Many of us will peak later, freer than prior gens ever were. The game changed. Play it out anyway. Live.

@charlesmurray Same. My parents are boomers and all of their friends financially support their kids. My sibling & I are unique in that we are financially self sufficient. The boomers I know are generous with their money & time.

Every time I see a post about selfish Boomers, I think of all the ones I know—and not rich ones either—who are still giving serious financial support to their Millennial children and Gen Z grandchildren. It’s okay for me to say this because I’m not a Boomer.

@VivaLaAmes11 When I lived there we would climb down on the triangles and hang out.

This is one of the 2 bridges near my new apartment (I move in 10 days!). It’s called Santa Trinità. It’s so beautiful… it’s flanked by 4 stunning statues, each one depicts one of the seasons. It was built in 1567 by order of Cosimo I de’ Medici. Hitler blew it up, but Italians refused to lose their bridge, so they painstakingly rebuilt it according to the exact specifications from Renaissance times.

@Sam760122640978 @learnitalianpod I recommend the papardelle al cinghiale (wild boar pasta) or the roasted rabbit dish. Very classic Tuscan dishes. You will not regret it.

@ModinVA @learnitalianpod In the city center?

A trattoria in Italy. 🇮🇹 In Italian, "trattoria" means a casual, family-run restaurant, simpler and more affordable than a "ristorante," but warmer and more structured than an "osteria." The food in a true Italian trattoria? Always local, always seasonal. No fancy menu. No long wine list. Just real Italian cooking, the way it's meant to be.

@Sam760122640978 @learnitalianpod Yes! It’s on the opposite side of the River from the Duomo and the Uffizi, but an easy walk. Stroll across the Ponte Vecchio, turn right, and walk. You can also cross Ponte Santa Trinita & turn left (shorter walk this way). Make a reservation!

@Sam760122640978 @learnitalianpod Osteria del cinghiale bianco. Classic Tuscan food and it was my favorite when I lived there years ago. Apparently it’s still good because Stanley Tucci featured it on his Italy show. HIGHLY recommend.

@learnitalianpod Do you have a favorite trattoria, osteria, ristorante in Florence?

@educator4ever36 My husband argued this once at a teachers union meeting and it DID NOT go over well. But, he was 100% right. He was a science teacher. The gym teachers played all day. He has since left the profession.

When will we acknowledge that not every teacher position is equal in scope and workload, and we should absolutely be paying the science and math teachers more than the PE and Art teachers?

@PaigeSully88 Lmao my grandfather literally picked up body parts on the beaches of Normandy but go on.

Millennials are the most burdened generation in ages. Two recessions Housing collapse 9/11 Middle East wars Record inflation Flailing job market “Required” college so student loans Unaffordable housing We need to elect millennials - they know the real struggles

@SperryTime It’s Europe without the snobbery. 10/10. I had 2 of the best meals of my life there.

Why is Croatia so gatekept? What a beautiful country man. Clean, efficient, friendly. This place rocks

@Deadgayson51 @anotherryan00 Exactly. I use it to describe stuff white people do that I do not relate to. I am white, but I’m Italian American. WASPs are very different from me. I have a friend who has only ever cooked chicken breasts (no bone in cuts) & that is some WASP-y shit.

@anotherryan00 Excludes Irish and Italians.

The term "WASP" always confused me. Does that imply that there are non-white Anglo-Saxons?

@Nadine69224050 @Tanyaelisabeth This comment section is wild!

@Tanyaelisabeth Really? You can't see the difference between a book where everything only happens in the reader's imagination (and nobody gets hurt), and a video where real people participate (and some even get hurt or exploited)?

I didn’t realize how bad the smut problem was in women’s circles until a woman openly posted in a military spouse group on Facebook that she loves reading smut and is looking for other women who enjoy it to be friends The comments are filled with women who all agree and are happy to find each other All of this publicly Say what you want but I’ve yet to find one single man publicly declaring what kind of porn he likes, it’s socially unacceptable, it’s gross, crass, and I don’t know why women get a pass.

@Jaytqzk @kaitybella Are you Italian or do you know real Italians? Complaining is a sport to them. Italian Americans don’t even compare. If there was a contest, Italians would win hands down. They may even beat out all other Europeans.

@kaitybella American Italians never seem to have gotten that memo

americans are taught from childhood that complaining is annoying to others and you should simply fix whatever is bothering you

@pressurethefilm My grandfather was on one of those boats headed to Normandy & he said the weather was so rough that every soldier just threw up the whole trip. Then when they landed they handed him a medic patch. He was not a medic. So many dead & injured soldiers that they made anyone a medic.

In the hours before D-Day, one forecast changed the world. PRESSURE is in theaters FRIDAY.

@ShksprnDngrMnky @FLCons Correct! I’m in the packaging industry & whoever fills the bottles & caps them seal THE SHIT out of these liners. I have seen multiple manufacturing lines & tested them. Always over sealed for the reasons you state. It’s induction sealing equipment, fyi.

@FLCons the difference between falling off and securely attached for these devices is a very slim area of temperature and pressure. Overly secure is better than falling off, Thus the sealing hardware is set to being overly secured so that the number that fall of or leak is ZERO.

Once upon a time there used to be a shrink wrap seal on things like mouthwash etc. Now there's these glued on 'peel and lift' security thingies on everything from ketchup bottles to OTC vitamins. Half the time you have to get a pair of needle nose pliers just to try to peel the thing open! Do you have problems trying to open these peel and lift tabs?

@FLCons Ha! I work in packaging & know all about liners. The companies that fill & cap the bottles seal the shit out of them. It’s usually their fault. But, you need to grab the tab and pull in the same direction as the seam. There should be arrows directing you but there aren’t!

@Pastasciut95733 @Player_retiredd As an Italian American who speaks Italian, has lived in Italy, and has Italian friends, I’ve learned that Italians are good at bitching about anything and everything, including the people who share their blood. They will be crying when their country is ruined by immigrants.

@Player_retiredd Every single Italian American. They’re about as Italian as China

When you realize you are not Italian-American, you're just American with Italian ancestors.
