Came here to say the same thing.

Also, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was better than it had a right to be.

Me, too. Got Sync as soon as it was available and haven’t looked back.

There are villages in NE…I think maybe there aren’t a ton, they have very small populations, and most people don’t live in them, so they don’t know what the difference is.

There definitely are villages throughout the USA, but I lived near some in NE specifically. They do not have their own police or much government…and are significantly smaller than a town.

Stew or Roast

Pkt of either stew or roast seasoning (or brown gravy pkt if you’re out of the other stuff)

Meat, cut up for stew or whole for roast

Potatoes, cut however you prefer

Baby carrots on top

That’s it.

Slow cook on low all day or high for 4 hrs.

Use the juice to make gravy (add a little cornstarch or flour and bring to a boil)

Enjoy!

Oh I completely agree!! 100%

Well said.

And I genuinely wish you all the luck in doing so. The defender should have the luck against the aggressor. I hope the USA either gets its shit together or unceremoniously implodes. I want as few collateral damage as possible.

Then we figure out how insignificant we are individually and start pulling as a team…maybe make a country worth having for once.

But without the oligarchs.

Those people are really not paying attention to history at all. There is definitely a reason people want to bomb us. We earned that hate.

I really wish people could pick a different country…like, nope, I disagree with literally everything here. Next!

But that only works if you have enough money to completely relocate…and then you’re leaving the country slightly crappier than before. But I don’t blame my friends for leaving. They aren’t safe here anymore…

Hey…just need to put this out there.

I’m sorry my government has the dumb. I am so, so embarrassed by how things are going and how horribly rude my so-called “leaders” are being to literally everyone.

I am not like that. I respect you and your country. I want to cry when I think about how Zelenskyj has been treated. I know many, many people just like me. We are NOT like our government. We are scared. Some of us are trying to get out of the country, but many of us literally cannot…for a host of reasons, many of which involve how little money we have been able to save while this is all happening.

I’m just so sorry. Not that this fixes anything. I’m just desperate to tell SOMEONE that. I hope you have a good day…and rest easier knowing I echo every sentiment of your post.

Ooo, also Our Flag Means Death, only 2 seasons but such a great show.

What We Do In The Shadows, delightful and so wrong on so many levels…lol

Someone else already said it, but I agree so strongly, I gotta restate…Reservation Dogs…heart-warming and with great character arcs.

It is so unbelievably good…on Hulu. Well worth checking out!

Pushing Daisies is simply delightful and whimsical.

The Magicians is an epic story with highly entertaining characters and a full storyline with an actual ending.

Loudermilk is a witty and heartfelt look at people trying to get by while also dealing with their alcoholism.

Sandman is masterfully done, a visual treat, regardless of whether you’re a fan of the comic.

Have you tried graphic novels? Comic books get a bad rap, but there is dialog and pictures that help you get into the story. Maybe that would help?

Your cat is a Disney Princess!

You are NTA. Someone spying on you to prove you skipped their lame attention-seekinh shindig, is TA.

“Plans changed and I didn’t have the energy to be social.” Plus, once you’ve RSVP’d not going, it is rude to then show up…so remember that if he pushes for more.

Or you could level with him and explain you didn’t enjoy watching him flaunt his wealth, so you took your attitude and stayed home…because that is the nice thing to do.

But regardless, remember you are not obligated to hang out just because you are invited. It is okay to say you have other plans…even if they are literally just to stay home. Totally valid. NTA.
