I didn’t like coleslaw until I ate it as a condiment. Alone it’s not my thing at all. In a sandwich? On top of pulled pork? Awesome stuff.

I want to thank you for the new knowledge but I also kind of wish I didn’t know this.

Used to be beige. Now it’s gray… gray everywhere.

Well said. Social media is designed specifically to hold attention and encourage addictive behavior. There’s no way to compete.

Go exploring. Walk the airport and go to other wings if it’s a large airport. You might be able to find a luggage locker so you can walk without carrying anything.

In the same line, there are a lot of games that gamify walking. One. Two. The goal here is to exhaust your body a bit better for the 13 hr flight.

Learn something. A new language, maybe. A skill. Learn braille and go around the airport decoding the braille signs.

Do an airport scavenger hunt. Can you find yarn and maybe practice finger knitting? Maybe a deck of cards and learn some card tricks?

Talk to people. Honestly I’m an introvert so I rarely do this but it can be fun.

Yes. For many companies, a 4-yr degree is a non-negotiable requirement. Any 4 year degree just to be considered. If you manage to get a good job without a degree, you will still be categorized by HR as a degree holder or not. This doesn’t always factor into raises, promotions, layoffs, but it can.

I had a similar experience, not with broken bones but with joint injuries and generalized hypermobility. I had so many trouble joints that the physical therapy for one joint would be hard on others, sometimes to the point of reinjuring. Finding exercises was a minefield and keeping a routine was a constant balancing act.

For years I had to go mind numbingly slow. I used to weight lift and the few exercises I could do were incredibly boring in comparison. I wanted to be able to crush the exercises and advance out of the boredom, but my body simply couldn’t keep up without new injuries. It’s been about 4 years now and I’m finally able to add some exercises I like, but it’s painfully slow. I like walking but every time I step on the treadmill I want to go faster, longer. Then I injure myself because I went 2.5 mph instead of 2 and 1.5 mi instead of 1. Frustrating.

When I look back, I can see the improvements. I realize a joint that used to be in constant pain hasn’t been trouble for a while. I almost cried when I could kneel on the floor again. The physical therapy is working. What I thought would take weeks takes months, what I thought would take months takes years. But if I’m going to live several more decades (hopefully), I have that time. So might as well keep up with it.

I mean, both? Both is good.

Deal breaker for me. Real or no, I don’t fuck with magic.

Seconding this. I’ve used both and I had no idea what OP was talking about.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Computer stores might be able to retrieve the data. It’s better if you go somewhere locally owned, they might have a suggestion for a specialist.

I might be on the spectrum but I would have no idea. I assume everyone’s more socially adept than I am.

1 kid cuts, the other chooses. Keeps things fair.

What is Rips?
