I went to a private elementary school where I was pretty picked on. One of my parents grew up poor and was an immigrant, the other grew up poor and rural, so neither really understood why I had a hard time socially in a suburban private school with mostly wealthy kids.They didn’t know how to help.

I transferred to a public middle school where I was neither popular nor unpopular. My elementary years taught me to avoid relationships so I just tried to blend in and keep things very surface level with other kids. I had no close friends but I was not being picked on.

In high school I developed a couple of closer friendships, but I would not say that I ever completely let my guard down. Like middle school, I wasn’t really picked on but I was certainly not one of the popular kids. I did let myself join athletics so I developed more self confidence, but social relationships were still superficial.

I’m now in my 40s and have been confronting myself about the fact that other than my wife and kids, I’ve not let myself have too many close relationships. I know it was self protective, but it also kept me isolated. My wife cannot and should not be the one person who meets all my needs.

I’m putting myself out there a bit more but man is it hard to make new friends at this age. Better late than never I guess.

I only remember French, Spanish, or German (this was back in the 90s). My kids have all those plus Japanese, Mandarin, and ASL to choose from

No that’s a faun. A fraud is a garment worn by a priest.

Did you get that thing I sent ya?

No ads and no extortion of third party apps is a big plus

I’m not a fan of most of the new SW content, but Andor is fucking fantastic and should not be on this list

Helloooo nurse!

Theoretically he should be able to do this. The problem might be landing since he’s not invulnerable or super strong. But then again, we’re talking comic book logic. The speeds at which he travels should have already ripped him apart if he doesn’t have some sort of protection.

I’m not a Flash expert by any means. Does the Speed Force protect him? I know in the Young Justice cartoon Wally wore pads with his costume because he didn’t have as good control as Barry, so I’m guessing it doesn’t fully protect him.

He didn’t say “the dog,” he said “the bitch,” and he didn’t say “father,” he said “daddy.” OP needs to beware the kinky homewrecker who runs the shelter

Motherfucker…

The microphone explodes

Yeah I felt the same way. The country is falling apart and we are just supposed to continue celebrating big businesses, rich athletes, and music stars? I couldn’t really get into it.

Somehow I’ve never heard this one until today, and I loved it. It really is a beautiful song, and I’m not even religious
