There are rumors the original creators are making a new animated show about the next avatar in the cycle who is an earth bender. More info is supposed to be released this year!

As an old person who plays Genshin Impact, the “character banners” are 100% loot boxes. They have a pity system which guarantees a five star character after 100 “wishes” but even then it may not be the character you wanted. You might have to “wish” up to 200 times to get the five star character you are “wishing” for on the banner. Since you are not buying the character out right and gambling to get them it’s a loot box.

For anyone who doesn’t play “character banners” are a limited run (3 weeks) of a five star character that you can only get from the banner. “Wishes” are like rolls for the character. Each wish you lose gives you either a weapon (3 star/practically useless in game) and every 10 wishes gurantees a four star weapon or four star character.

I did it with a feather, two eggs, and a barrel of molasses.

I jokingly accuse my partner of stealing my glasses when I lose them. I just put them down in random places and am then too blind to find them again. A few days ago I told my partner I lost my glasses and he blamed ME for stealing my own glasses!! How can I steal my own glasses??

I grew up in FL and had a “pet” opossum for a while. Her mom was hit by car when she was a baby and she crawled up to our front door during a rain storm. My mom was heart broken when she realized what happened so she let us keep her till she was old enough to be released. She was super cuddly and would crawl up on your neck and lick your hair. We partially potty trained her using dog pee pads. The only down side is she liked to borough in our couch so we had to move the couch often and clean it out.

Once she was an adult we would let her out at night when other opossums in the neighborhood were around. She usually came back in the morning and would eat a bunch of food. One day she didn’t come back so I hope she integrated with the local opossums and lived a happy life.

It’s been a really long time since I read “The Three Musketeers” but I loved the way they described the duels. I also love the way sword duels from that time period are portrayed in movies. Fencing is also something I enjoy watching everytime the Olympics comes around.

The house I grew up in had two trees in the front yard. We would tie string (probably a thin nylon rope) between the trees and hang sheets/blankets on the string, creating a “fort”. All the neighborhood kids would hang out there in the summer and we had so much fun pretending it was a fort, spaceship, bus, etc.

I hope this is figurative but I’m scared it’s literal.

I also didn’t think I would be on the cheating husband’s side but good for him standing up for his kids. I’ve seen far to many fathers drop their kids for their new girlfriend/wife.

I used to think the same but I recently decided to embrace my curly hair and the way you use certain shampoos/conditioners can be different. I’ve had to read the instructions each time I try a new brand to make sure I don’t ruin my hair.

I have a similar story! My family was having a reunion at a restaurant but some people didn’t know how to get to the restaurant (before GPS or mapquest), so my dad told them to follow him in their cars. My dad was driving in the first car and there were like 3 other cars behind us with family. As were driving on the highway my dad dumps a bag of pistachio shells out the window (idk where he got the bag from) and pelts all my family’s cars. It was so funny when we got to the restaurant and all the cars behind us were super confused about the pistachio shells.

This reminds me! At work we often send emails to customers through our ticket system so they are recorded. A new guy got a pop-up asking if he wanted to send the email. He looks at me and says “What do I do?” I say “Well you have 2 options: Yes to send the email or Cancel.” He clicks Cancel and is then confused the email never sent. He quit a few days later which honestly was better for all of us.

My cleaner just moves stuff to the side, cleans that area and slides them back. So at most it’s like a few inches from where it was before or in the same general area. We have a really sweet lady come once a month and it’s so nice to not worry about doing deep cleans. I do basic cleaning in between if stuff gets really dirty.

I reply all to all work related emails because people will add someone who needs to be aware of what’s happening and I may not realize this is important to them. If they don’t want to be on the email they can ask me personally and I’ll take them off the chain.

I never reply all (or at all) to company update posts (e.g. new hires/promotions/other bs). If you want to congratulate them do it privately. The whole company doesn’t care.

Yes, becuse in my family, all the older family members make him real for the younger kids. We actively work together to make Christmas a magical time by telling stories and staying up late to put out presents. I know that Santa is not a real person but I believe I can keep his “spirit alive” by giving heartfelt presents and spending quality time with my family.

I personally am atheist but I will admit that many religions have good teachings. I don’t believe in the gods from those religions but I can follow the guidelines to living a good life.

Yea for me “pretty good” is an estimate around good. Like using -ish. I don’t want to say it was good but it was around good.

Yea this is me. I’m really good at packing spaces. I’ve had to repack people’s cars to get everything to fit for long trips or moves. It’s like I can see how to make the pieces fit together to maximize space.

Yea there is a tiny flower stand in the parking lot of a mall near me. I went there thinking I could get a cheaper price for flowers for my wedding. Turns out this was just a small store front to meet with clients. They actually own a warehouse where they do most of their business for companies/hotels.

They were nice and still gave me a good price if I agreed to using left over flowers. I had no idea what the flowers were going to look like until I picked them up for my weeding but it was cheap and worth it.

The lack of tea lovers in the US is definitely the issue. Most grocery stores have disgusting low quality tea so most Americans don’t like tea. I’ve been sending family high quality tea for years now and they love it but can’t find anything remotely close locally.

I watched this show as a kid when it originally aired and this quote stuck with me. It’s reminded me to make the best of the situation I’m currently in and enjoy the good things around me.
