You can now call each other

We did not intend for this to be taken in any political way whatsoever

If I didn’t want to send a political message, I would simply not wear a hat with a political slogan from a prominent politician during a politically fraught time in the very city where political protests are happening.

I feel that, and I think it’s an important point to make honestly. Just felt like you were dragging OP for doing something wrong which I didn’t feel was correct, myself.

You’re good. The person who posted the photo of themselves initially did so clearly in good humor, you shared it here clearly in good humor. Person you’re replying to is just getting fired up for something that is just purely silly and fun and not serious.

I think he said it was his drinks? Not 100% sure.

Honestly I’ve never used em before, it was just the first brand that popped into my head lol

If you said Makita you would have been shot on sight

Oh man, so sorry this happened

I hope to someday have someone to call my partner again. We’ll see.

I believe that you will. I believe there’s someone out there for everyone. I hope that you and your someone find each other soon.

And not having closure can feel awful. Maybe one day, if it feels right, you two can have a good faith conversation and at least get a sense of finality? If that’s what you both want, of course.

It sounds like you were really able to make space for yourself after you two separated. To figure out who you were at your core, outside of being a parent and a partner. I’m happy to see you were able to transition and live openly, and I really admire your ability to admit your own mistakes and flaws. Wishing you both the best.

Do you two stay in touch? It sounds like it may have been for the best, if you two grew apart. I hope that doesn’t sound callous to say. I hope you’re both in a great place now.

I know this isn’t super helpful at this stage but using a Focus is a good way to lock in while still staying online: Use a Focus on iPad

Sucks though, sorry to hear about this.

I find Mac Demarco to be quite warm and chill. He writes very mellow singer-songwriter type indie music. A good example might be the song Moonlight on the River. If you like that, you’ll probably like most of his stuff.

I’ve never played a TTRPG, but I noticed that the first person said DM and you said GM. Are they interchangeable? Or is DM specifically only for D&D because of dungeon? Is there bad blood between people who say GM vs DM? Is it like crips and bloods?

Not dead, though

Yes dead inside doesn’t count

Thought you were talking to me for a second

Totally agree. Seeing someone diagnosed with cancer shared as uplifting news just felt off and not in the spirit of what this community should be about.
