“Get paid doing something you love and you’ll never work a day in your life!” Yeah, it sounds great, and a small handful of people accomplish it. For most people, this advice will just ruin what they love by turning it into a job. My advice is to find something you don’t mind doing and it can pay the bills. I work with computers. I don’t love working with computers, but it’s fine, I like it. My hobbies get to continue being things I enjoy doing after work. I don’t recommend finding a passion to inspire you to work (or study, assuming you would plan to study something that would turn into a job qualification). Instead, find something that you merely like well enough but there is a demand for in the job market, and then use that to fund your future passions, long term goals, and some emergency savings.

Btw, I don’t think your attitudes are unusual for your age. Large percentages of students begin university as undeclared majors and/or aimlessly switch their declared major many times over. And if homemaking really is your thing, consider taking classes and looking at majors that focus on cooking, nutrition, interior design, art, personal (or even business) finance.

I read the headline and had one thought: let me guess, his job?

Iirc, the design goes back a few hundred years or so, and they were intended as either lion claws or dragon claws, wrapped around an orb.

Incidentally, you’ll also find pineapples are commonly found carved in older furniture. Pineapples were considered a symbol of hospitality. Again, as I recall, because it’s been a while since I learned about this stuff.

Prat falls, cane twirling, roller skating.

He has a master’s degree in chemical engineering and was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to MIT, where he dropped out to act.

Must have been some darn fine curry.

Me llama Han Solo y quiero jugar videojuegos de Switch2. Además, no me gusta pagar Trumpiffs. Theoretically.

ELI5 smuggling a Switch2 over the Mexico or Canadian border. Not that I would recommend that or anything. For science. And fanfic.

Please please please

Last I saw, he moved back to the UK and was struggling to find a job. The sudden, unexpected lack of communication is certainly concerning.

Any idea how to access the pop-up text on a phone?

• Twilight Zone
• MASH
• Malcolm in the Middle

You have the right answer here. Too many people wanting us to separate into two opposing groups before it is absolutely necessary. Which is exactly what those hoping for the demise of the nation want. Putin knows he can’t deal with a united United States, but if we’re too busy fighting ourselves, well then, he’s in the catbird seat.

The Russians/Soviets have guard towers on every block who monitor which rooms citizens are in at any given moment. Absolutely no true freedom of movement, unlike those of us in the free world. At the time, I figured people could trick the guards by just not turning on lights in the room when they moved about. As the years went on, two questions came to mind: isn’t that prohibitively expensive? and why???

Similar question, what if you retract the invite after they’ve already entered the home?

Sometimes you just have to turn off expectations towards the story and accept that a movie is worth watching because it is pretty. I first learned this lesson with Speed Racer, but Valorian is another big title for me that falls into this category.

I did not enjoy the sequels, but Solo? Yeah, that is a solid fun time. I even have a Solo T-shirt that I still wear on occasion.

My favorite is a Galaxy bar. Yorkie is a good secondary.
