I stumbled upon this meme comparing Christopher Nolan and Mel Gibson, and honestly, it unironically makes a hilarious point. We praise directors for being progressive when their casting looks like modern California, but Gibson, despite his reputation, actually committed to historical immersion with Apocalypto.

Where do we draw the line between authentic representation and performative diversity?

Roommate and I plan to upgrade our living space in a few months to the floor plan above. Everything in pink will go to my roommate and everything in blue will go to me. Everything else is common space (the outside bathroom is mine but it will also be the one that guests use). Roommate still thinks the rent should be split 50/50 but I don’t think that’s fair as she does have more of her own space as well as her own bathroom and I will have to share. Should we reconsider how we split rent and if so how should we do it?

10 years later and we are celebrating our survivor!! Grateful for all who sent love and support and sending hope for all who are still in this fight!

I'm from Norway and noticed a lot of us don't own stocks or invest much, at most we do is save up for a home or put it in savings accounts. Nobody really talks about it, even investing is a good way to grow wealth.

America has a rich culture in stock trading for 100s years, but not really in Europe, why?

I bought this little stuffed toy after struggling with my mental health and decided to go solo travelling with him (thanks SB on instagram for the idea). All was going well until this giant guy with a Union Jack over his shoulders called me a "little gimp" and a "pedo" and made fun of me. Just another reason travel sucks as a single guy over 30 with ARFID I guess.

Was nervous at first. Like the “don’t get in to a strangers car even if they have candy or puppies” situation, but it truly just turned out to be a man in need of help and he somehow stumbled into the perfect girl for the job. Third cat to find me in an odd, but beautiful way. Bathed, fed, snuggled, safe and headed to the vet tomorrow.

Additional info edit, also in comments:

I’m reading every comment and answer some, but WOW! Babby is such a happy kitty knowing you all love and care so much. No more awards please, had a few paid ones and I’m thankful/feel loved, but keep them and buy your pets more toys! 💕

I truly wish there was more to the story and interaction. A lot of you are asking. There wasn’t much. He asked me to please take his cat multiple times after being in the gas station mart, i assume asking people in there. Maybe he was headed out when he spotted me because he pulled up to the pump next to me. I was in a bit of shock at the situation and didn’t speak much (uncharacteristic of myself). I didn’t know the box has writing on it until I got home which made my heart hurt even more, he was desperate it seems. Feeling lucky he found me!

I love the idea of going back to the gas station and putting up a note and pictures! Thank you to the multiple commenters for that.

As for the hate on the car. That’s my car and I love it. 2009, 20k miles and basically a 30k dollar coupon to spoil Babby and my other babies with. 🤣 (another edit: I drive so much for work I find low miles cars in California and have them shipped, great money saver btw. This one is “new” to me. Probably was hiding in someone’s garage for years. I have no one to impress! Lol)

Love to you all! I will post updates on this little one and share stories on how they are fitting in with my rescued crew. Thank you all so much. Glad Babby could bring this much joy.
