Ah, the Obstructionist Party.

Sure, sure. Plausible cover story…

But you just didn’t know about the hidden basement and the meth lab within it.

“You see, consumers are the product, and the manufacturers that produce them need compensation for their labor!”

Googling seems to say yes but it might alter the texture a little. I would think ice cubes are the way to go here as you can just take out what you need as you go.

I feel like we just hit Poe’s Law in a really weird way.

Cruise is a bankable star, and Spielberg is a bankable director. I figure there’s a reason they didn’t work together for a long time, and a personal grudge makes more sense to me.

But business is business, and I’m indulging in Hollywood gossip. I just fucking loathe Scientology.

“Spielberg felt the actor’s antics had hurt his own movie, 2005’s ‘War of the Worlds.’ Far worse, though, had been an episode when Spielberg told Cruise the name of a doctor who had prescribed medication to a relative and the doctor’s office was subsequently picketed by Scientologists.”

And this would be the reason. He stabbed Spielberg in the back there. Fuck Hollywood numbers, who would want to be around a ‘friend’ who just did something like that to you?

They didn’t work again together until Tom Cruise was needed for Top Gun 2.

Do we need to make tacky tourist Auschwitz merch just to prove a point?

Does it matter if MAGA would proudly buy them?

Moonlighting was interesting because it’s almost both. There was romantic tension between Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd throughout the series, but once they acted on it there was no tension remaining at all in the show.

And that was weird because the leads were both in danger still.

On the other hand if they had chosen to not go there, it would’ve been a betrayal of the audience, because they had built up that sexual tension past the point of ‘would they might they’.

I’m not paying to join the Apple ecosystem. It’s bizarre to me that they even branched out to a channel.

Do the same with googly eyes, you’ll be finding them for ages!

A peacock’s tail is a flourish, something that adds to the whole without detracting.

A cocktail combines spirits with other flavors to make them something else.

I don’t really drink cocktails, but thr antiquated term makes sense in a particular context.

Now looking it up, apparently the origin of the term isn’t actually known and my interpretation isn’t even in the running, but I’m saving this anyway because it’s amusing.

9 looks like you could slap a G’oauld symbol on that forehead easily.

Older guy here, no kids, rarely dated at all but married now.

Always be up front about your kid. Not first thing, but I’d say during the first date or two.

A twelve year old is a bit easier for most men to accept, I think, as there’s less years of raising them and more of a developed person to get to know.

Any man you’re in a committed relationship with should be willing to help you out - that’s what committed means. So one that refuses is probably not the guy for you.

Lastly, you may not meet the one for a while, but letting them in to see how well they mesh with your son might help you figure that out.

Its not too much to ask for at all. It’ll be a balancing act, redefining your life (and to a large extent, your son’s) and letting someone in again.

I’m confident that you’ll find someone, and I hope you aren’t hurt in the process of finding him.

It’s most definitely not too late.

I was in a similar state about fifteen years ago, and older than you at the time.

The thing is that by not tackling the anxiety earlier, you’ve been learning how to live while anxious.

I have IBS and had a hernia that was making things far worse. I had no idea that’s what was going on with me. I lived that way for years.

Once it was fixed I needed to learn how to unlearn the anxiety. I’d wake up each day worrying whether it’d be a good day or a terrible ond. I’d stress about using the toilet.

Now I’m married and have a good life.

You’ve gotta start tackling that anxiety. Medication, therapy, self work.

I used to think I was depressed, now I realize I was depressed about what my anxiety kept me from doing.

Once you start to unravel the way you are, you’ll start remaking yourself into a more conscious person. It’s extremely worthwhile.

They don’t learn. They’ll just blame Democrats yet again.

‘Fin’ on the bowl. What a great touch.

I’ll have to give that a watch. Dinklage is always a joy to watch.

If each symbol on the edge of the rug is intended to be a cat butt, I thoroughly approve.

The term you’re looking for is dingleberries.
