I would be happy for it to switch places with Chartreuse, which feels strongly like a red word and is definitely not a bright yellow-green

"outlaws" also being a verb makes this title difficult to understand

I'm amused there's a GMC model called the "Terrain", not all terrain or off road or anything, just "this vehicle drives on surfaces"

When I think of growing up female again, but in the current time, it sounds terrible, but then I think of growing up male inbhe current times and it seems awful too, so I think I have to tick the "neither box" and accept I'm too old for this modern shit in any gender form.

I think people's looks and personality correspond in a few different ways.

One is that people's choices for style and personal care reflect their personality, so having fancy clothes indicate a person who cares enough about looks to put in the effort.

People also can choose to associate themselves visually with different groups, and if they identify with that group they likely have similar values, including those around personality.

Even things someone can't control, such as height, probably affect their personality because it changes the way others interact with them in society.

(back before the days of smartphones & internet everywhere)

I once was sick in a foreign country and bought some chewable vitamin C that turned out to be those fizzing tabs you put in water - cue foaming at the mouth and utter confusion.

Happy it was still edible, just not in the way I tried to consume it.

I work for a company that specializes in ergonomic work setups and the OTs recommend Ergocentric chairs at least 90% of the time.

They're expensive, but if you are having health issues due to sitting then your employer has a "duty to accommodate" to get you a better setup.

We also often recommend sit-stand desks because too comfy of a chair can just cause different problems from lack of movement.

Some personality problems, like abandonment issues or low IQ, I think of as due to genetics or adverse childhood events not the fault of the person...other traits like being a person who litters or being greedy I think of as personal failings - my questions is where would you put attention seeking behaviors like being super entitled about your wedding or lying about traumatic events?

Are these caused by social problems, and if so what might they be? Or are they just people wanting attention because it feels good and they feel entitled to do whatever they have to to get it? I have cognitive dissonance on this and am curious to hear other people's take and why.

But does he copy?

Putting the shopping list in store-order before I go into the store; saves so much time and fuss in the store and makes me feel like a hyper-efficient grocery god.

Giant insects and way more fires! It's happened a few times in the history of our planet.

It depends whether I can somehow go back to the body of a 20 year old but keep my current 40 year old brain. I'm not going to pretend the majority of my improvements in patience, empathy, humility, work ethic and dgaf-ness are me consciously maturing instead of improvements in brain chemistry.

If you are in Canada or the US I can't recommend the Libby app highly enough - books, audiobooks and magazines borrowed to your devices from your local Library. Looking at the last 5 years of borrowing it has saved me (pirating probably) thousands of dollars of audiobooks, and having an endless supply of audiobooks with zero cost really encourages reading.
