This seems to be a decent intro. Basically therapods, of which T-Rex was one, are ancestors of the birds.

I’m in the midlands and never heard that phrase but I have heard taking ice to the eskimos, which might be offensive now.

It’s definitely a fetish.

There are 100% shelters that let you take pets, there’s also organisations that foster pets for people escaping abuse.

The statement about haunting you to the end of the earth is a giant red flag. You need to get away. He’s dangerous.

I’m so sorry. Can you not sell some of the wine? Would he notice if it was a smaller collection? Just a reminder that financial abuse is abuse, control is abuse, there are shelters for people who are being abused which will get you out of that environment.

I feel like that’s the same as saying people are toxic or socialisation is toxic. Yes, toxicity can exist online, it can also exist in the supermarket, at school, in a field miles away from anywhere. It’s just a facet of being with other humans.

Survival of the fittest just means the most adapted to the current environment. Our current environment has medicine so we’re adapted to that. If that suddenly changes then sure it would be an issue, but so would a climate difference of even a few degrees, a slight difference in the chemical make up of air, etc.

Where I’m from a sweatshirt is a very specific thing which doesn’t have a zip.

Head transplant dude?

I always just go, worst case scenario they were super busy the night before and don’t have any rooms ready so you leave your bags with them and go explore lighter, but most of the time they have a room and let you in.

You can also pre-book early check in but I tend to only do that if I really need it because it costs and usually you can sneak in by turning up.

Thylacine? aka Tasmanian Tiger.

I saw them in New York! Brilliant!

I went on an alligator boat in Florida and they were cool sure but the Anhingas hunting and catching fish were cooler, I didn’t even know you had those!

I’ve tried to find out if they ever did marry but I can’t find her online. I like to think she did though and it went well because she did really like the picture.

I think you’re confused. That is arranged marriage.

You’re still mixing up arranged marriage with forced marriage.

It’s not dating exactly, but there are dates involved. The parents pick someone that you’re intended to marry, they bring them round and go “here, we think you should marry this person”. You get chatting with them, go out for some dates, in the modern age you’re probably texting each other etc, but it’s not like western dating where you’re just seeing how it goes, you’re deciding if you want to marry.

After a short while you would say ‘yup, this seems good’.

You don’t commit to a stranger really. Normally you’ve met them and spoke multiple times and the families have spoken throughout both kids lives. I had a friend when I was young who knew her intended spouse from 7 years old and there was no plan to marry until she was finished with uni. She used to carry a picture of him in her wallet like we all had boyband members.

Even once you get to the marriage bit there’s chances to say no then.

My dad never spent time with me because we didn’t share hobbies, I tried desperately as a kid to get into what he liked, but he never tried to get into what I liked. My mom knew the names of the kids on Barney, what snacks cheered me up, or what friends I had in school, my dad also lived in the house.

As adults we’ve found common ground in politics and TV, and we have a relationship now, but we’d have a much better relationship if he’d tried to hang out with me back then.

So I guess my advice is just hang out with her, whatever form that takes. Time is so important.

Kind of, but you don’t get to choose what it pulls, so unless you have an excess of every mineral then it’s going to make you deficient in something and then other things may not be affected at all.
