If sunrise and sunset is your thing then the website suncalc.net works great to find what places will have the best views for different times of year.

I go watch the sunset as part of my solstice and equinox adventures so finding new places with nice views is fun.

Now...is this legal to show in public or not?

From my therapist: In the absence of a crystal ball the best predictor of someone's future behavior is their past behavior.

It really depends on what I'm doing to elicit the comment - I'm often doing silly things, getting enthusiastic about stuff, exploring my environment and other things vaguely "childish" and so would consider cute to be a compliment.

Coming with no context it's neutral, way better than being called sexy but generally my appearance doesnt need comment.

If I'm upset, or being professional, or an authority than being called cute is 100% and insult.

Yes, a line graph showing residents vs visitors by month would tell a much more meaningful story.

  1. Friends girlfriend lent me her hiking shoes when I picked him up to go hiking having forgotten mine.

  2. Payment was down at a hardware store and the manager just let me walk out with the $7 of screws I needed to finish my project that day

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.
