She drove home with in the front seat like it was. Person who does that! I want to run over it repeatedly with my truck. We are on tight budget. she should have Decorations are out the question. I want her to take it back. Even if someone one gave her free decorations I wouldn't want them up. I like our to be sparse and plain looking.

I personally think they should wait at least until the burial is complete then he or she can go on and find someone else to be with.

I dated the most stunning girl from my small religion/culture. She was phenomenally beautiful in my eyes. She had v rare features like bright green eyes and fair skin and very natural. Never seen a girl like her - how does she even exist? We had a really good connection/chemistry too!

The reasons she gave me for breaking up with me were that I was tight with money. I did gift her small things, pay for the first 5 dates, and then we did 50/50.

I wish I gave her the full princess treatment. I wish honestly 😭 I am that way inclined to provide but my sisters mainly told me not too. I wish I could go back as she told me she felt protected when I would pay for her things. She wanted the soft life. She loved the whole ‘daddy’ thing.

The part that confused me was she didn’t want to give up work when she gets married.

I was good to her, but I should’ve just worshipped her so I know I tried my best even if she left so I would have no regrets.

My first girlfriend and I should have given it my all. I still tried my best but look back at small mistakes I made. My life is over 😭

Iran said there were 4 steps US must do before any deal is signed.

1) Give Frozen Money Back

2) Israel must leave the countries they invaded

3) Allow Iran to use tolls on all ships

4) US must stop attacking Iran and lift blockade

They keep material and continue Nuclear Program

So who won? Iran gets money back and they can toll ships. That is better than before Trump started war with them.

They are still saying opposite things. I will believe it when I see it.

Julia Wolf - Last Summer (a late 2024 song, YouTube) was a recent one I discovered from 2024. Really speaks to me at this moment in my life.

Earlier this year around March was when I discovered her song In My Room (i was also late to the party in discovering that one or two year track) here in 2026. Lol.

I like her sound. It's relevant for the me, for the now. For my ongoing present.

Music to my ears. 😋 Mmm.

Some folks seem even on YouTube or Reddit to feel that the main reasons Pixar lost its magic was either dilution of talent, retiring talent, and a changing audience / or even a tiring audience. Always wanting the next thing - "I've seen one CGI, I've seen one all" lol 😆

I'm impressed by certain (spoilers) aspects of the Toy Story 5 visuals on youtube from trailers etc - personally while watching those scenes muted I felt more magical listening to Julia Wolf - Last Summer (I only just discovered it) rather than say spoiler a different singer that's in the film. Anyways - I love moody tunes to my ears 👂🏻 🎧

To me, I call that "underemployment." Sure, a job is a job, but if you have specialized training and/or a degree in something and most of the added jobs out there are assembly line workers and menial labor roles, I don't see those as being job market successes.

Imagine being a seasoned software engineer or an attorney to then have to go work on a hot factory floor behind an assembly line or nailing frames together on a building. Let's say $18/hr vs $55/hr... that's a huge difference.

Yes, those jobs are more suitable for some, and there isn't anything necessarily bad about them, but for those who put the extra time and efforts to educate themselves further, that's a huge slap in the face.

As someone who been into the arts for a very long time, watching art sites that are still active, and looking at art trend, from 90s to today, I notice a slow shift toward diverse representation of what is beautiful, and appealing. Previously, there were idea that really thin ladies are attractive, but now that's not as popular as women who are of normal weight. For most of 90s and 2000s, what is dominant is the representation of white women to symbolize beauty, but that's changing toward more inclusive and diverse representation as in non-white people are beautiful, and even men's bodies are more out there too. So, I can see 2030s and beyond becoming the era of diversity in arts after a massive cultural shift happens.

Personally, I find every demographics beautiful, in and out visually, and I'm an asexual heteroromantic man. But, I do wonder how far are we when it comes to appreciation of beauty in both men and women, and in ethnicity. I don't think appreciation of beauty in bodies (clothed or not) has to do with either romanticism or sexuality, and that's not the case with me.

"It was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire."

— Voltaire, on the Holy Roman Empire.

Constantinople is the capital of the Roman Empire; therefore, you are the lawful Emperor of the Romans. And whoever is the Emperor of the Romans, and remains so, is likewise the Emperor of the entire world.

— Georgios of Trebizond to Mehmed II, 1466

If I remember correctly, Ibn Khaldun argued that those who eat monkey meat become wild, those who eat horse meat become fast, those who eat pork become cuckolded or lacking in jealousy over their spouse, and those who live on a plant-based diet become soft-natured.

It is also true that the Ottomans often recruited their couriers from Tatars who consumed horse meat, for this reason. On the other hand, vegans seem to provide evidence for his case as well.
