There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation
I miss the pandemic. Socially isolating meant I got to spend more time with my kids and extended family than I had in decades due to limited sports and other activities. And even work, while it didn't stop (luckily), provided more valance - especialy more than now.

Not if he did it with a gun. Or they were already born. That's where they draw the line.

You can only use an Apple Watch with an iPhone. While you CAN use one without a phone, you need an iPhone to configure it the first time (or if you need to reset).
Thry are very locked in.

Protestant

This is wrong. Catholics can pray "directly to God". It's actually what contrition is considered doing and part of confession. Catholics also believe you can petition Saints for intercession from God (so like, "Hey, you know God, can you put in a good word for me?").
That second part is what many Protestant denominations have/had an issue with.
The core part here, however, relates to plenary indulgences and is part of what drove Martin's reformation.
(This is described - the indulgences part being what drove the wedge between Martin Luthor and the Pope - in the Wiki you linked.)

Does anyone speak hairdresser? I need help communicating.
So....you're close to me. Here's what you want to say - and it WILL vary from person to person regarding what you get so try to find someone you like and stay with them (or a few of them).
"Number two, sides and back. Blended in tight. Cut the top down so it just falls back - not spiked, just falling back."
The "just falls back, close to spiked" is the key length thing for the top. Also, them thinning the side to blend in better is a good thing and will make it look better longer.

providing dad with more toys
I have more toys now then when I was a kid....that's part of the fun of being an adult. I can actually afford all the cool shit I couldn't when I was a kid. Well, for me at least.

Mine was just a finger sensor and a chest sensor I put on myself. Ended up having serious sleep apnea and now on a CPAP. Sleep is significantly improved. Just do it!

Have you ever been to a movie so terrible that you saw people leaving the theater? Which one was it?
Reply in thread
Saw Lost Highway with two friends - only one couple was in the theater with us. Halfway through, we all started discussing what the fuck was going on in the movie we were so confused.

New York Bill Would Require a Criminal Background Check to Buy a 3D Printer
Gotta stop those guns made from kids. (Per the first image caption in the article).
A ghost gun is displayed before the start of an event about gun violence in the Rose Garden of the White House April 11, 2022 in Washington, DC. Biden announced a new firearm regulation aimed at reining in ghost guns, untraceable, unregulated weapons made from kids. Biden also announced Steve Dettelbach as his nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

Which are the most fucked up books you've read?
On the Beach by Nevil Schute. Read it as a kid and didn't realize what I was getting into. Kept waiting for the ending to have some kind of silver lining. Something. Then the last of humanity fucking dies and the last character commits suicide.
