Aww, that context gives this whole meme a lot more depth to me. I can’t entirely articulate why, but I guess it’s just nice to know that he was actually wholesome and loved.

Not that Haiti was necessarily at fault for that, though. It was either brace for further conquest, or submit to incredibly harsh terms of peace that would still see the country stripped of all its wealth.
I’m not the previous poster, but the French Revolution > Reign of Terror > Napoleonic Era > etc. comes to mind. A cycle of despots one after another.
I think it was considered normal for couples to argue pretty much daily.
How many people grew up thinking that marriage is supposed to look like that ? My gawd. People must have been miserable.
Probably likely for a lot of folks. It took so. damn. long. for divorce to be made legal across the western world, and even longer than that to get to the point where the burden of an unhappy marriage was no longer outweighed by the scandal of divorce.
Before no-fault divorces became common, unhappy couples would sometimes even voluntarily fake an affair just to act as “proof” of adultery for a divorce.
You gotta throw me a bone here Mickey, what am I even looking at?
I wanted to build a computer a couple years ago, but the prices they were charging for individual components even then just didn’t make sense compared to buying a more affordable, comparably strong pre-built.
I can’t imagine trying to build one now with these RAM prices, it’s insane.
Did the GPU shortages ever really end, though? We just have more shortages on top of it.

It never hurts just to start tossing out applications and see what you get. The best way to get better at interviewing is to do more interviews. Even if you think your odds of landing something are low, just go into it with the mentality of getting more practice until it feels comfortable. And who knows, you might be surprised by a good offer.
But I would also recommend being selective with where you apply, too. Basically don’t sell your skillset too low, and don’t apply for the types of open-ended jobs that will attract thousands of applicants and only waste your time. It can be absolutely soul crushing to send out 100 applications and never even get a response from 90 of them, but a good opportunity will come along eventually and you can develop a sense of which listings aren’t worth your time.
I just assumed they were the weird emphasis quotes people do for some reason
I had to look up his bio (where I learned that he had just died, this post makes more sense now) and found that he actually had no biological children, so he would actually be eligible for a Darwin Award.

The less colorful tufted titmouse common around here is actually my favorite variety. But honestly I just love birds.

Honestly one of my favorite birds, though. They’re just adorable.

The funny part about this is that Stuart Little is already canonically a human child. He just happens to look like a mouse.
Anyone who objects can take it up with E.B. White, I don’t make the rules.
