We’re not sending our best.

I’ve had several friends and family who got into this state and took a few months or years to decide what they wanted.

Of them, most were just taking a break from the emotional labour of dating, which I totally get. Some went back to online dating but others didn’t intentionally look for a relationship until something fell in their lap (a new coworker, etc).

Some just never dated again. I know a couple people in their 60s/70s who had just had enough and were perfectly happy to live alone.

IMO there’s nothing wrong with taking this approach, and I think the best way to go in is to just say “I’m not dating right now”. Don’t say never again and don’t set an artificial timer when you need to jump back in.

Things often work out if you don’t try to force yourself into doing or not doing something. Read how you’re feeling in the moment and go from that. It removes so much of the pressure on yourself to do or think certain things.

I was taught this in driving school. If you’re the last car slowing down, leave a gap of a few car lengths so if a car behind you is going to hit you, it gives you some room to escape either to move up, or enough room to turn out of the lane.

That sounds like some kind of superhero fantasy to me. In what scenario am I about to be rear ended and have enough time to move my car safely?

I usually leave enough space that I could turn into another lane without having to reverse, so if the car in front of me stalls I can go around without too much fuss. That’s like half a car length at best.

My domain is still set to a former address of mine and I never bothered to update it fifteen years later.

You could provide an address for your registration… sometimes people make typos.

If there’s truly an audit or verification it’ll be easier to explain a typo than why you said you live at “123 Eat Shit Ave”.

If they can cancel a green card at a moment’s notice I wouldn’t trust them not to cancel diplomatic immunity the same way.

Ohhh I thought it was Derek Chauvin and thought it was especially shitposty.

They sure all do look alike in orange.

Maybe if the government had canceled their Disney Plus subscription they could have afforded a Canadian shipyard.

Right? Where’s her damn coffee?

 

YSK there's an app called CNV CityFix you can install on your smartphone that allows you to review and report issues in your area that the city should address.

Every once in a while I'll see some egregious graffiti, dumped trash, tree debris blocking a path, etc. More often than not, someone has already reported the issue in the app and the City is aware of it and adds it to their list. Within a few days (or less), a crew with the right equipment comes out and addresses it.

Being able to snap a photo and send the location to the city to put it on their radar is great for both parties. The city gets quality reports about issues quickly, and residents have a low effort way to get them dealt with.

You can also search for reported issues nearby, and there's often laughs to be had at people's descriptions of their perceived problems, or particularly witty ways people describe legitimate issues.
