I only had one real relationship before my wife, and I was the one broken up with.

I was devastated, and just generally sad for probably a month or so. After a while, I started to realize that my life with her would have been pretty bad. She was shallow, judgemental, not particularly bright, kinda bad in bed. I would’ve stayed with her out of loyalty though.

It gave me the push to improve myself and get out there more, and I became much happier than I was when we were together. I’ve been with my wife for 13 years now, and she’s amazing.

Cartesian hasselback

Twin Peaks, by David Lynch. I specify, because there was a period when he wasn’t involved, and it shows. Those episodes are kind of a slog. But as soon as he comes back, so does the magic.

There was an apartment we lived in when I was 6-7 which for some reason has some hazy spots, but besides that yeah pretty much. Friends’ houses, schools since 9ish (at least the parts I went to), every workplace, theme parks, basically anywhere I’ve been a few times.

When did Harris bomb Iran?

Harris would not have done the same, so yes voting would have prevented it. Not voting did not prevent the genocide in Gaza. So you accomplished nothing, and things got worse.

Ad-hominem all you want, your opinion has no value whatsoever. Grow up and think about something besides virtue signaling for once.

Braindead bad faith take. Who’s gloating? It’s tragic. This could have been prevented.

I don’t support either of those things, but they’re happening either way. Hence why I voted for the one poised to do less. Unfortunately, not enough people did the same thing, and now we’re bombing Iran. I guess you won. Congrats?

I learned on tiny back roads in hill country in a GMC Yukon Denali. That thing was the size of a small bedroom. Can confirm, driving anything else is a piece of cake.

We’ll all go together when we go

Who is the DNC mass murdering right now? The government is controlled by Republicans right now. The Democrats losing the election did not end the genocide in Gaza, in many ways it’s gotten even worse. And now Republicans are doing additional terrible things that the Democrats would not have done.

You care more about posturing and virtue signaling your purity than you care about other countries. Everything is worse now but at least you didn’t compromise.

What was bipartisan about it? It’s actually a perfect example of my point.

Prefacing a statement deserving of valid criticism with an assertion that critics are bad does not make the criticism invalid.

And genocide marches on, entirely unaffected by your lack of support. Good thing there weren’t any other policies “blue maga” differed on, right?

Hehe: innocent little chuckle

Hehehe: mischief

Hehehehe: devious plotting

All the odd cubes (5x5, 7x7, etc) aren’t really much more difficult than 3x3. You can learn basically one or two extra algorithms to reduce it to effectively a 3x3 (e.g. for a 5x5 consolidate 3x3 centers and 1x3 edges, then solve exactly like a 3x3). And honestly the consolidation steps are pretty easy to figure out without actual algorithms for the most part.

I never really messed with even cubes (4x4, 6x6, etc) but I’d imagine they scale the same.

Easily thousands of times. I learned back in high school, on a forum that went on to be a very fondly remembered element of my teenage years.

It’s really not that hard if you can memorize a few algorithms. I learned a very basic set of general algorithms, like half a dozen. Not very efficient, but easy to learn and I can still solve one in about a minute.

If you want to get into proper speed cubing you can learn dozens, or even hundreds, of increasingly specific algorithms. This, combined with a high quality cube and finger tricks, can get you closer to 10 seconds.

But if you just want to be able to solve one, you can learn in an afternoon.
