That’s pretty standard for any abusive relationship. The abuser usually waits until they feel like their partner can’t escape before they become awful.

I’m always waiting for my husband, too. Drives me nuts.

The Amish community I know aren’t super strict. They use gas farm equipment and are fine with solar batteries. They just don’t want to be on the power grid.

I’m the worst at backups…

I still have my CRT and old game consoles and use them sometimes. The blurriness with the games doesn’t bother me, but maybe a movie would be worse. I am constantly forgetting my glasses though so I’m kind of used to blurry. I still might grab a VCR if I see one, though, just to show my children what it was like when I was a kid. Could be fun.

Ever since Disney announced they are also going to ban account sharing, I’ve been going to thrift stores and grabbing any DVDs my children like or might like. I’ve gotten quite a few classics so far for less than the cost of one month of Disney+. I almost bought a VCR because the VHS collection at thrift stores here is huge and they are so cheap, but rewinding sucks.

I worked as a baker for a couple years about ten years ago. During the summer, whenever it was raining, we would all take turns going out to stand in the rain for a minute just to cool off. I don’t want to imagine what worse would feel like.

When I was in middle school, some girl sang this song at the talent show. Except she didn’t just sing any version of Ode to Joy. No, she sang this milk commercial version of the song.

My mom didn’t let me use a calculator as a kid and I’m really glad now. I can do simple calculations much faster than if I had to use a calculator.

Same with French here in Canada. I took French for six years and I still don’t speak it at all, and I actually did really well in my French classes.

I like untangling things. We could work well together.

I like American style pizza more than Italian.
