Our first TV remote was on a cable! This would have been in the early 80s I think.

Yeah, same with me. But I knew the ball was pushed and rolled to the edge of the table and then fell, so I feel like I got the most relevant bit.

Tbh I’ve never been good at visualising faces, recognising people I know, retracing a route I’ve taken etc. This just feels like one of those things I’ve never really been great at.

Yeah, that’s just odd. ‘A’ isn’t something you’d find before a surname as part of the name, unlike ‘d’ or ‘o’ etc.

Tbh I feel like trump counts in your list. The trumps may not be a wealthy political dynasty but trump managed to manipulate the media for decades and that works too.

It’s not true that anyone can get elected president, but anyone with enough money and recognition has a good chance.

What about basic and assembly? Even Pascal?

Yeah I’ve not done any coding in a while.

Somebody gild this!

Yeah, I find having something to eat helps too.

Yeah, I concur. It would have been nice if the person had done more, but we got no idea who they were and what shit of their own they were dealing with. They picked the kitten up and took it to the nearest warm place. Lots of people would have walked on by.

I mean, I could be wrong. Maybe they’d failed to drown the kitten and brought it to the restaurant assuming it would make a tasty paté. But I’m thinking your guess is more likely.

Yeah, the fact that it was wet suggests that the person found it outside.

Yeah, I’ve made that mistake too. Thing is, if you really mean it then waiting until they say those words to you first kinda feels dishonest and manipulative. Like, if you’re feeling that crazy feeling it makes you want them to know exactly how you feel and be able to give informed consent to falling in love. You want them to know how you feel because you don’t want to be intense and creepy when they maybe think it’s just a fling. You want you words to maybe unlock part of them that feels the same way.

A good suggestion is to not say it during or right after sex in a new relationship.

So yeah, I’ve fucked up too by saying ‘i love you’. But I’ve also said it first and started a relationship that was maybe the best I’ve had.

I dunno, I guess I think that when you love someone honesty is the best policy. It won’t always work out and when it fucks up you’ll be hurting - but you’ll at least know you were being open, not hiding stuff.

I hope those words have worked out better for you since!
