But these are on the fence, so make an informed decision" what's easy isn't always what's right. i think it makes much more sense to be honest with kids and tell them that drugs are not all equal. some are harder than others and all of them come with some risk.

Trailers are a tricky thing because it's also very possible to ruin a movie if you give too much information like the second trailer for Nope and especially Terminator Genysis. oh for sure. i hate it when i watch a comedy and all of the best jokes were already shown in the trailers. but OTOH, this one could have had some narrative explaining what's going on, even in the most vague of terms. "during the time before The Fellowship, a lone Elf warrior must convince those around her of the growing threat in order to save Middle Earth", or something, ya know? anyway, i feel like i've totally derailed this topic by droning on and on about why i don't like the trailer, which isn't really even that important, lol. i certainly hope the show is good, but the company making it didn't inspire confidence whatsoever, then we saw that trailer and now these reviews. i'm gonna wait until it's finished and if it actually tells a cool story, i'll watch the shit out of it. --- Playing: Yakuza: Like a Dragon I hope something good happens to you today |

"a group of heroes must save the galaxy", etc. all that trailer told me is that i should wait until the season is over to see if there's an actual story that's worth hearing before i invest any time in it. like, if you went off just what the trailer shows us, could you tell me what the show is about? --- Playing: Yakuza: Like a Dragon I hope something good happens to you today |

But does personality not shape someone's attractiveness to you? oh, it certainly does. if a woman is gorgeous, but a total negative nancy, i'd be totally turned off. i guess what i'm getting at is even the most radiant personality can't make up for a lack of physical attraction. at least for me. like, there's this woman i keep running into on local dating apps. we have a good amount in common and she seems pretty fun / cool, but she's completely unattractive to me so i'm not even willing to 'match' with her on the apps. --- Playing: Yakuza: Like a Dragon I hope something good happens to you today |

Kids should be kids. it wasn't something i 'had' to do. i wanted to get a job so i could have spending money of my own. getting $100 every 2 weeks was pretty sweet for 14 year-old me. it was not something my parents pressured me into, or anything.

Turtlemayor333 posted... Don't worry, all these businesses will follow the law just like they did with mask mandates the problem with the mask mandates, at least where i lived, is there was practically no enforcement. and i obviously can't speak for every company, as i'm sure there are shady ones out there, but Kroger was very strict in following those minor labor laws. like, if it was 6:35 and i hadn't clocked out yet, it set off some internal alarm. --- Playing: Yakuza: Like a Dragon I hope something good happens to you today |
