How does your partner feel about you counting out loud? LOL

Are we a pear? lol

Don't ever give up. You are worth the effort.

Is this literally the GOAT (Greatest of All Time)?

Well done for getting yourself into recovery and addressing that. Stay strong, and I hope the future is bright for you. Tomorrow is always another day, and things that seem insurmountable now can often be more achievable than we realize in the moment.

Is that Daniel Narsi?

Definitely live and let live, and I trust you know my reply wasn't meant as a judgement in any way. I have likely hired all sorts of people, from gardeners to car mechanics, and musicians to accountants, who might very well have views that I would find offensive or even dangerous. But I haven't knowingly done so - if any of them were public about their views, I would have chosen someone else. And if I found out after the fact, I would choose someone else the next time. I don't screen or do any deep dives on people, but if something was made known to me and I could confirm it, that would be something I would have to consider in making decisions. But that's just how I approach it, and I don't expect everyone to see it the way I do.

Hopefully you don't toot your horn very often WHEN bottoming...

This map makes it look like we Canadians use horses and carts - lol.

I see where you're coming from, but would you be okay with contributing financially to someone with so much hatefulness? Only speaking for myself, but I wouldn't be able to hire any professional if I knew they promoted such ignorance and hate. No lawyer, no accountant, no healthcare provider - I would rather distance myself from anyone with those attitudes, rather than support them - no matter how good they might be at their job.

That would be a whole lot of pressure...

She looks a whole lot better than I would at that age. Actually, she looks better than I did 10 years ago.

Does the Sears catalogue count? 😆

I didn't think Streisand sounded bad, but maybe her voice seemed a bit tired and her range was more narrow than it used to be. But I thought she still sounded pretty good for someone who's now 83 years old. She sounds better than I do for sure.

I'm not sure there is a way, unless the individual reveals they are being coerced by someone.

Sadly, yes, it is possible. It has to do with vulnerability and power dynamics. While it can be assumed that younger people have more inherent vulnerability, anyone who is in desperate enough situation can be taken advantage of by traffickers regardless of age, gender, size, etc. There are monsters out there who prey upon those individuals.

Make sure you stand on the bridge over them?

wow. you're good.

Good thing he didn't recommend watermelon.

Another case where it would be helpful for the provider to capitalize the first letter of the second word in a double-barrelled name. All I can see is 'Latin oink'

Someone who has no problem dealing with 'sausages'....

Wow - I still can't discern it, even with the explanation - lol. But then again, in technology-years I'm probably about 300 years old. Hahaha.
