Having a ton of crucifixes up on a wall gets a lot funnier if you see them as hunting trophies.

 

I’ve become aware, as I get older, how my initial emotional reaction to conflict isn’t always fair and is usually pointed backward, defensive and angry. I also know that I do better if I have time alone to process how I’m feeling, and often by the time I’m done things have moved on.

What I’ve been working on is to stop using excuses - the moment has passed, I’d just be dredging up the same argument, I’ve had this conversation in my head a bunch but they never turn out exactly right - and just go back to the people involved and tell them how I feel because they deserve that effort. There have been disagreements I’ve had where I wasn’t in the wrong but the other party did something I can admire and appreciate, and it doesn’t hurt me any to say that.

And it never ends with what I imagine is “argument perfection”: a point by point discussion of intent and action and history. Which is silly because life is messy but it gets better and I and others grow more patient and willing to move forward if I’m not always bracing for a blow.

That’s…probably a bit confusing, but it’s been something I’ve been mulling over, so…what personality traits of yours are you working on?

AND plasma, if you’ve had Taco Bell.

If that ceiling doesn’t open up to a helicopter landing pad what’s even the point.

This whole room is just bizarre. The (desk? Vanity? Sink?) right next to the tub with barely room to pull the chair out that will get wet if you exit the wrong direction, a mirror at a height to show you lips and up, oddly sharp looking tub edges, what looks like a cross between an old timey phone and a spigot with too many pipes, a staged bath with only one visible rug, and it’s probably just me but man do I hate frosted glass as privacy for bathrooms.

Great, now not only do I have “slip in the shower and introduce my front teeth to the faucet at mach 3” nightmares, now I gotta have “…and shove foot directly into brazier at the same time” as well?

It’s funnier if, like me, you misinterpret that as a sink and wonder why the fuck someone would put a mini fireplace in a bathroom.

Kung Pow is fucking amazing in short, memey snippets, but it was agony to watch as an actual movie.

The first time you make a recipe you should strive to follow it as closely as possible to give it a fair shake.

Yeah you’re probably right, since the door is also bowed.

Considering the post on the right is already bent a bit, I can only imagine how it will react to gallons of water slamming against it.
