Spanglish doesn’t mean 50/50 lol. And the “-ado” is absolutely pronounced the way they say it in Spanish, like dorado, tirado, girado, cerrado.

You’re making up random rules and limiting pronunciations in order to make this shower thought true, and it just doesn’t hold up to closer inspection.

You hear it as a joke when you’re young, but it’s not til you’re old that you realize “you are what you eat” is literal.

If you like food/eating, consider culinary courses and see if you like it as a discipline (just one example).

I was in a very similar boat for years, and then I realized that at least 50% of the issue wasn’t not having an interest, it was failing to see the massive variety of jobs out there and how some can relate to sources of joy I already appreciate. And I was assuming that if I wanted to follow a passion, I had to be the best at it and ready/excited to do a bunch of unrelated things to get to the top.

Pursuing a passion doesn’t mean starting a business, being the best at something, or achieving a goal you’ve had since 1st grade. It might be realizing that you like going to the beach a lot, and then seeing if town hall is hiring for Parks and Rec groundskeepers. Maybe it turns out you love the community garden plots you end up working on, too.

Last note, it may be that you have to try a few jobs in order to find out what you do and don’t like about each, and therefore what you’re looking for in your ultimate career. This is another good reason to lower the stakes on your choice–it’ll be just as helpful to figure out what you don’t want to do with the first few experiments, and it may leave you with a constellation of job characteristics that point you in a specific direction. You find out you love spreadsheets and finding patterns in data, awesome, they need you anywhere. You find out you hate it and want to work completely offline? There’s a massive shortage of trade workers. All info is good info here, and remember it’s never too late for a pivot. Good luck!

I’ve always assumed you pay extra because multiple people have to carry the bag around after you check it, and that’s harder/more dangerous at higher weights.

In warehouses, you gotta go get your lift belt and often a partner if something is over a certain weight, and you aren’t covered by workman’s comp if you just try to do it quickly without those, so it’s a serious hassle.

That’s definitely Big Boy with the fro in the front

Unfortunately, it can also (and more often has in history) have the opposite effect. Because consumer spending is so highly concentrated among the best-off, we could see a significant spending contraction in lower brackets that would have a minimal effect on total spending.

The people who now fuel the market are those with the most insulation from tough times, so even if 100% of low earners found a way to halt 100% of their spending, big companies’ profits would only dip 10%, and they’ll end up retaining the customers who can handle price increases.

Suspect wanted to kill Jews, stabbed an unsuspecting Spaniard. Hate to say it, but you really do never expect the Inquisition.

Fun fact, the Broccoli family of Bond fame does not just happen to have a vegetable for a last name. It was in their Italian village, and they claim by one of their own ancestors, that broccoli was bred from local brassica species (cauliflower and rabe). In the 1920s, before producing films, the first generation of US Broccolis started a farm in NY and popularized the vegetable here, 2,000 years after it was invented in Italy.

“do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?”

Great, glad we elected a billionaire.

It is possible that many soft foods could still cause issues, like small seeds in a smoothie or the skin of a bean getting stuck somewhere and causing issues. I’d follow the common advice in this thread and take some ideas of very soft foods to your doctor and ask about them specifically. Might as well make sure, but if they double down on only those 3 foods being safe, I’d trust em at that point.

Smoothies and beans are top options if you have any flexibility though, so many ways you can make/flavor both.

Gosh I love that loam though

What storyline is this? And give me your ketamine

Just like many Russian accidents, those undersea cables just fell out of windows.

Ope, that was fun. Time to eat.

“Vell, you didn’t have to be rude about it.”

Yes, Mr. Fascist-who-thought-posting-those-photos-was-normal-behavior, I’m sure it was the size of your penis that potential partners found off-putting… Surely you’ve solved the issue now.
