Yeah he’s a POS. Between him and Oz, Oprah sure knows how to pick ‘em.

Gross. NHL should ban relocated & renamed teams from any association with their former identity. It’s such a big f-u to the loyal fans the franchise screwed over in the name of greed. QC and Hartford foremost.

oh no

For every hour delayed you should be entitled to a mini-Tito's for your troubles. And they have to pay up in full the moment the takeoff climb levels out.

We literally need someone to grip our hand tight and say “Come on, it’ll be fun, just stick by me” and drag us into it. Otherwise it’s too daunting, too risky, and too easy to stay curled up at home alone.

Not sure if that’s where you’re at but thanks for opening up and encouraging reflection.^^

So yeah the fear of rejection (+ the associated shame) is deeply imbedded in us ex-fundies. It makes us always feel like an outsider, an intruder, someone who will never feel fully included even in the most inclusive communities such as this. “Just be yourself/put yourself out there!” isn’t helpful.

Unless I’m invited to a gathering/event with unfamiliar people by a familiar person, I can’t work up the nerve to go out of fear of being The Loner and bailing before I talk to anyone. Even if I know internet friends will be there. So I miss community and any chance of finding “found family.”

Have been thinking in a similar vein lately (also working through religious trauma + estrangement here). Have found some truly great people here while also never quite feeling like I’m *in* the community. Fursuitless, limited con experience, lacking self-confidence/social skills, etc.

prayin’ for that settlement

Allowing just 17.3 ppg but only 25+ once (Bucs), been a while since our D was in this territory. Gives even a semi-competent O a chance to win every game.

Calling Republicans trash is an insult to trash
