It's not quite as convenient, but I switched to making popcorn in a wok. It's faster and way, WAY cheaper.

Can you give some more context for your question? It sounds like you might be replying to someone who just expressed a desire for something that you also want, but the specifics of the situation might make one reply feel more natural than another.

But based on nothing else, I'd say "I want that." Or "I want that, too." sounds natural to me, an East Coast American in the NYC area.

Also, looking at your posts, your English seems pretty natural, I wouldn't guess you're a non-native speaker reading what you write online. I can see some over-formality that I know to look for something deviant, but it's not immediately apparent.

Goddamn right!!

The only thing I need on a screen is the GPS, everything else is an annoyance.

This is how I usually cook em. (Optionally blanch for like 30 seconds if they're big or you find em bitter til they're emerald green) Toss em in some olive oil with a bit of white pepper and garlic, grill or roast to desired doneness, squeeze of lemon. Delicious with a steak or alongside mushrooms.

Asparagus.

Used to hate it, had it once in season in Germany, it was so fresh and delicious, I learned how to enjoy it there.

Ooooh we HATE it when you call us "pretty boy whom I long to hug and kiss" just so fucking much even typing it out has got me quaking with rage

They need to outlaw EDDM advertising, cap the price of beer at $5 per 16 oz., and tax the rich like we did in "the golden age of America", the 50's, that being 91%.

I don't think social media works well for these kinda things, but you could pick an activity you think she and her kid would enjoy and invite her out. Something casual like a museum or park. Take the temperature there and see how things feel.

My adage with dating is to err on the side of gaining a new friend as your goal. Then the worst outcome is you get a new friend.

I'd like to think I'm informed but it doesn't change the actions I take during the day, it just makes me stressed out.

So, like, is that valuable? I'm not sure.

This just sounds stressful.

Why not make batch of mulled wine, watch a film, wake up and check Reuters on Wednesday?

The outcome won't differ. What does election coverage offer that is insightful and useful?

No, no I can figure it out from context, but it's cumbersome and makes your thoughts difficult to parse.

You didn't do this, like, at the start of this week, it seems. But, you're absolutely right that it's your right to make yourself more annoying to understand.

Good luck!

Edit: to the point of the post, this is probably illegal since it involves a sort of contract around voting.
