Yep. It absolutely never hurts to handle a situation with grace, even if it sucks in the moment.

Hell, barbers exist! I’m sure there are hobbyist barbers out there, right?

I once knew a guy who did beard modeling on the side - pretty cool dude actually, but def not a QAnoner haha

Oh, I wasn’t trying to be a dick either! I’m with you on hating grocery shopping haha

I try to do as much perishable stuff at the farmers market (which is fortunately walking distance) and then do non-perishable as infrequently and in-bulk as possible by car

Saddlebags and crates for bikes are common. Have you considered smaller, but more frequent, trips to the grocery store?

Proton VPN seems to work well for me, using Firefox on iOS

tragically, i’m stuck in the US. not sure how i’d even go about trying to get a work visa in the EU. any one country easier than the others?

i was born in the mid-90s, so i only have vague memories of a lively mall. but i remember playing on the indoor playground, eating teriyaki chicken samples, and even trick or treating at the mall once as a kid. now there have been multiple shootings there in the past few years

I love dead and abandoned malls, and other liminal spaces. they’re like the bones of a crumbling empire
