At the risk of...but
I somehow managed to act both my age and my shoe size in one comment.It was worth it for the vids.
I know that expression but I still don't get what acting one's shoe size mean. Does it even mean anything?
Got it!
We were all...young once, but memories persevere...if not always our original "Revolutionary intentions"
Life has the nasty habit of getting in the way.

That's how they may look in the 2040s but they're not there yet.

The Woodstock lineup is one of the most legendary in history. The hottest and most diverse collection of bands of 1969 gathered here and created a playlist that would forever shape music to come. The American music scene of the era was defined by this music festival, and what is now known as world music stemmed from the diversity of performers that played at Woodstock.

That's interesting.
Lawful Good is the most helpless alignment.
Helpless? In what way?
It just means you are acting immature, or like a child. Basically that you are acting like the age that corresponds to the number value of your shoe size.
Granted, I don't know how shoe sizes work in France, so that may be throwing you off, but typically here the approximate average shoe size is about an 8.5 for women, and 10.5 for men.
I see. Thanks for the explanation. My shoe size in French units is actually 46 and I am 59 so it wouldn't actually be a slight. To most people, your say would mean acting older than their age.
You do not have the "right" laywer...yet.
An old friend reached out to me on social media at the end of last month. There was no awkward hi or how are you message. You'd think that would be a priority since it'd been, roughly ten years, that we'd last spoken to each other?
I said that it'd been a long time but would be good to reconnect. They said that it would be good to reconnect too. Aside from the occasional liked post, they made no real effort to message back and forth.
My intuition told me to hold back. I'd set a healthy boundary and got on with my life. There's no harm in taking things slow but the timing felt odd. Basically, they'd reached out two weeks before having an operation. They also boasted about how 'awesome' the new skinny version of themselves would be. I got the impression that they wanted to show off.
Then, their post op feed turned into a daily pity party. I don't want to sound jealous or insincere. They sounded pretty insecure and overshared a lot of details. I don't know why they reached out. Maybe they felt nostalgic? Maybe they felt sad? Maybe they wanted my sympathy? Maybe they wanted to show off?
Last night, I moved on from them. They seemed to take pride in not growing up. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing but I realised that I was more grounded than them. I didn't want to deal with the constant drama/attention seeking and feeling left out in the cold.
I had a really good day out on Thursday though and I'm still thinking about it. I saw Rose McGowan's 'Planet 9' show. Maybe it helped me to gain some clarity on the situation, some self worth, and to call a spade a spade.

I have said this for years, and people act like I'm nuts. Glad to see that at least one other person on the planet experiences coffee like this, too.
Licence to Kill may be the best Bond film of the past 30 years.
The only place I ever drink coffee is in Spain, or café con leche to be precise
Coffee made at home never does. Personally I find Dunkin and Starbucks coffee to always taste the same with the same order.
