My dad's parents didn't consider themselves racist because they ate with black folks at the same table and paid them the same wage as the white people at their business, and didn't use the n word in front of them.
Mom's mother was much more concerned about protestants (she was soooo New England Catholic omg) than she was about any other races. She'd married a guy who was a quarter Mexican and who's father was named Juan Martinez.
I've honestly considered just making the jump to $650 and applying for this fucking place, because it's only $50 more, 460 Sq ft, and fucking gorgeous.

I'm right handed so I can do my right ear without much trouble
After a dozen tries, I more or less have the left one properly seated. Mostly.
Anyone got a trick? You're supposed to pull up and out on the top of your ear in order to straighten out the ear canal, but other than that, is it just a muscle memory thing?
Do you try and use your off-hand, or do you do some weird cross-body thing with your dominant hand
I compress them into a point, like a spike, push them in, then lightly put my fingers over my ears while they expand.
If you're right handed, do you attempt to use your right hand on your left ear?
Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.
Weight classes in WWE have always seemed a little wide.
yeah there's like
two weight classes
there's Cruiserweights, which is 205 lbs. and under and are their own division with their own title
and then like... everything else, which is kind of hilarious
the Cruiserweight Division is actually a lot of fun to watch because the small guys are hyper-athletic and the matches are more competitive in appearance than one-sided murders like that one

My grandad was the same way... like he grew up in the deep south and I heard the n word more than once from him, but not like regularly, just enough that he didn't feel like it was insulting.
However, he was one of the first white men to hire a black man to work a gravel pump over a white man and literally stared down a lynch mob over it like that scene in Tombstone, true story.
He said "I don't care what color a man's skin is, I care if he can do the job better than another man"
So I mean was he likely racist by today's standards, yes, absolutely. Will I ever judge him for it? No. He faced down a gun barrel and came out standing over his right to hire a black man in the 50s
yeah, the situation was a lot different.
My first job was working for the janitor at the nursing home my grandparents owned. V scandalous around town for the boss to put his grandson under the (black) janitor, literally bottom rung of the whole company. Your grandson working for one of those? However it earned him piles of respect from the (almost entirely) black staff at his business. He looked at things differently though... his own uncle was killed in the 40s for sleeping with a black woman. Somehow he managed to commit suicide with a shotgun that was found two rooms away. Talented guy, great uncle Johnny.

Like in the sense that his skills don't really seem to extend past being big and picking people up
he's super green
it's not necessarily that he can't wrestle, it's that he's a rookie and prrrrrrobably isn't ready to be thrust into the main event scene like he is
he might need a little more time in the oven
he's a charismatic dude who can work his character really well, and he's got outstanding physical presence, but from a technical perspective he's limited and heavily reliant on more skilled opponents like Sami Zayn or Seth Rollins to carry him to good matches
so like, should he win the Rumble and main event Mania? no, objectively probably not, he's really green and probably isn't ready for that
but i dunno, i like the guy
he's basically like if Gregor Clegane was a pro wrestler and something about that is great

I disagree with your post! ::starts chopping down trees::
the current house my wife and i live in is almost too much house for us
we share it with her parents, and that's good, because it's absurdly large for me, it's the biggest house i've ever lived in by a wide margin
our bedroom + walk-in closet + ensuite bathroom is bigger than some whole apartments I've lived in

I just finished my apartment hunt and I am so excited. The people in the new building are super nice and my new place is 1200 sq ft (112 sq m) with a giant kitchen, a deck, two bedrooms, a living room, dining room, pantry...
It's barely more than I'm paying now at $2950. It's a serious steal for Boston. Plus I save a ton because I'm not paying for it by myself. Boyfriend is moving in.

The prospect of moving is causing stress because there is little I can do to plan, since I can't have a floor plan until I've found a place and finding a place requires knowing what's gonna be open and actually I should just ignore it and study or something, since I can't do anything

The key is to live in a boring af place and be easily amused by the midwest, and tolerate horrible winters.

but also i'm just a few miles from i-25, 20m to fort collins, under an hour to boulder or denver

maybe in a year or two i'll look at moving to a more bumblefuck part of colorado with the same payscale and cheaper rent
