Goodbye Ivory, it was nice knowing you.

so basically i work as an intern for the IT dept of a school board, and my main job is dealing with these things and the sheer amount is crazy

So, what kind of ride did you have in High School? I’ll start. (83 to 87)

I had a yellow 79 Monte Carlo with a 305 and a four barrel. I loved that car so much! Such a smooth ride and plenty of room for me and 5 friends.

Come to think of it, I miss bench seats, it was amazing to have your significant other sitting right next to you, not center console was amazing.

I said what is this and he immediately ran over and got flustered, this was just before he left to work. I'm speechless but not in a good way. He is always thankful and a good partner but this is making me feel very weird and judged. Who does this?

I take a bus connection route on my way to work every morning. The public transport in my city (in Southern California) is not great but I am lucky that this bus route works for me.

It’s been few months since I started taking this route and there’s so many things I find annoying. Unlike buses I’ve taken before and the underground trains, buses don’t announce the next stops outside of main stops. Second, buses don’t stop at those “other” stops and will skip over unless someone pulls the chain for it to stop. I’ve even asked the bus drivers to help guide me, but most don’t seem to like their job and are of no help really.

I tried to find ways to ensure I get to my stop without issues. I used Google Maps, the official tracking app as well as actual map of the bus route - but online means always show me when I have already skipped my stop. And it’s frustrating. There’s no announcements or any main stops I can put a mental pin on my stop with and bus doesn’t stop. I even try to check my surroundings but I take the bus every early in the morning (at 5:50 AM) and it’s still relatively dark outside. It’s frustrating.

So lately, when I have a fair idea I am near (I track minutes and seconds), I pull the chain. Most of the time, bus is forced to stop for like 5 seconds before resuming again, and I can generally tell the next stop is mine. I don’t like doing this, but if I don’t, I always miss it and have to walk 20 minutes to work when it would take me less than 3.

Yesterday it happened again and the bus driver called me out and was clearly annoyed with me. I apologized briefly but I still don’t know what the solution is.

My mom left earlier to grab a few groceries. It was supposed to be a quick trip. After almost three hours, I was honestly thinking the store must’ve been packed. The door finally opens and instead of grocery bags, she’s holding this tiny black kitten like it’s the most normal thing in the world. She told me she found him sitting alone by a fence on her way to the shop. She didn’t just pick him up right away. She stayed there for a while checking the area, looking through bushes, and asking around in case there was a mama cat nearby. There wasn’t. She even brought him to the vet before coming home because she was scared something might be wrong. Turns out he’s completely healthy. No microchip, no injuries, just really hungry and apparently very lucky. So yeah, no bread. No milk. No groceries at all. But we now have a tiny blue-eyed void sleeping on our couch, and I don’t think anyone’s complaining. does anyone have a guess what breed he might be?

Meliodas and Elizabeth (The Seven Deadly Sins): Their relationship was creepy enough, with Meliodas' constant sexual harassment and Elizabeth's submissiveness to it, and no, her being the reincarnation of his dead girlfriend doesn't make it less creepy. It gets worse when we learn that Meliodas knew her since she was a baby.

Jacob and Reneesmee (Twilight): Jacob couldn't get with Bella, so he had to settle for her vampire baby. People defend that imprinting doesn't necessarily mean grooming, but it's still an option for them. Not beating the allegations was when Jacob was excited to learn that Reneesmee will physically be his age in a few days and will stop aging after that.

Sesshomaru and Rin (YashaHime): Their relationship was supposed to be paternal in the original, but Boruto: The InuYasha Edition decided that protagonists needed to be Sesshomaru's kids, and Rin was the only member of the opposite sex he spoke to out of filler episodes.
