We’re all idiots—at least at that age—but most of us don’t end up dead because of our idiocy. :'(

Ugh. So senseless and tragic.

It’s definitely worth it; it’s a very unique experience that I really wish I could play for the first time again.

I strongly suggest going in as blindly as possible.

That’s fair. I definitely felt frustrated at times, especially at the beginning of each act, but by the time I finished the game, I was obsessed and

tbh, I’m not even really much of a card game person; I probably wouldn’t’ve played it at all if not for the fact that my SO begged me to try it.

Honestly, I’d respond positively. Small talk is exhausting

Assume that a woman isn’t just a man with different bits.

Emotional intelligence, empathy, and maturity; knowing when it is more beneficial to be gentle or to just observe/remain quiet; understanding how to take advantage of others’ gender-based assumptions/underestimation; and a deep solidarity with other women.

Hey Arnold!

I’m definitely very lucky to have them in this particular situation.

That’s such a sweet offer. Thank you so much! But no. My parents and SO will definitely pushing me to continue if I start having doubts. Both parents are retired, so they can invest as much time as they want into helping me.

I do plan on suing now, but more out of protecting myself than anger or resentment.

It’ll really suck for them, but it’s an important lesson and a natural consequence of that kind of carelessness. It’s not my fault that most US residents are financially struggling (including myself, which is why I should sue).

Thank you for sharing your experience… I’m so sorry it went down that way for you.

Awww…🥺 that honestly made me feel a little better. Thank you so much! 💜💜💜

You got hit by a car and your parents and SO already found a lawyer? I support the idea but I seems pretty quick - I guess people deal with stress in different ways, and it was their way of helping “fix the problem”.

You’re exactly right about that. My parents are “fixers” for sure… that’s how they show their love, mostly. They already have a lawyer I guess, and that lawyer apparently knows someone who works with these kinds of cases. My SO was just encouraging me to accept their offer to pay for the attorney.

Thank you! Thankfully, they gave me something a little stronger, but I’ll definitely need that advice when my script runs out, which’ll be in just a few days unless the orthopedic surgeon gives me a refill.

I’ve had similarly unsafe commutes; it can definitely be scary. I expect to be even more afraid to cross the road now, even at crosswalks. Ugh, I hate how stupidly hostile streets can be for pedestrians.

Also a 15-minute wait for a walk signal is absurd!!! Wtf, it seems like the people who design cities/roadways hate pedestrians.

You’re right; I can’t know how this will actually affect me in the future, so I should protect myself. Thank you for your advice!

I’m glad you didn’t get hurt! I’m sure he was relieved, too.

I have a feeling I’m going to be much sorer tomorrow, for sure. Thank you for the advice and well wishes!

It’d be unethical to gatekeep such important information.

On Thanksgiving, my aunt boils broccoli and potatoes and serves them totally unseasoned. Not even salt. 😢

It’s one of many reasons why I haven’t gone in years.
