My life so far with my wife is for sure something I would describe as winning.

I’ve a '79 Corvette. The first night I met my wife, I took her for a ride in it to the local Waffle House.
I guess it worked; she married me eight years later.

Everyone loves their own brand, but I’ve not really enjoyed them in general.
- Comment on I can still smell them 2 days ago:
Yeah.

All I know is that they smelled good.

I thought Pinky was a rat, but apparently he’s a mouse. In either case, not a mole rat.
Also, wow, there’s so much more information than I anticipated in that article.

I have nothing funny to say, but I admire the cleverness of your contribution and appreciate your defense of me.

My work gave me a Mac with this. I absolutely hated it - constantly triggering random things I didn’t want or need and apparently something about the wiring caused the physical keyboard to fail prematurely.
Fortunately we’ve moved on from those dark days. I still have to use a Mac, but at least there’s no touch bar.
- Comment on We used to have TV repairmen who would come if dad couldn't fix it with the tube from the grocery store kiosk. Weird. 3 days ago:
It was weird to see an actual vacuum repairperson on Breaking Bad. I understand that that wasn’t their primary function, but it seems like in the modern world the front wouldn’t stand up or at least would be subject to extensive scrutiny.

Though not the most academic resource, the YouTubers How Ridiculous recently popped a CRT screen. Because of their video format, I’m having a bit of time identifying which one it was, but it might have been this:

Yeah, I’ve tried to do that on my grill without precooking. Never got it to work.

Of course, I apologize.

Have you thought about the fact that you’re on lemmy?

I’m pretty sure I’ve only played 4. However, based on your username, I’m guessing you’re not without bias on the matter.

I don’t put seeds on mine, but they seem like sesame seeds. What were you picturing?
The rolls are:

When I was of a similar age I received an email purporting to be from a woman who said that she was wearing no clothes, visible on her website. I clicked the link - not sure why; that kind of thing didn’t much interest me at that age - and was presented with an adult woman wearing naught but high heels.
I responded to her email scolding her for her false claims. Shoes were still clothes. I never got a response for some reason.
- Comment on Unquestionably high class 4 days ago:
No, I’m not in the UK.
What you describe is delicious, too, but I’m not aware of a colloquialism that describes it.
What I’m accustomed to by that name is a less fancy looking version of this:

Didn’t that happen in Super Troopers 2?

Bold words from someone who presumably maps out the inside workings of the human body.

When I made that post, it was 6am for me.
You shouldn’t assume things I say at 6am will make sense.
(Sorry for being nonsensical)

I’ve never had lobster roll - or indeed lobster - but from the name I imagined it to be lobster rolled up in something like a pig in a blanket (though I’ve heard that varies from place to place as well; my variant is just a hot dog rolled up in a croissant).
I was pretty disappointed the first time someone around me ordered one and it was just lobster in a roll … Though I admit it makes sense.

Did you know that Death in Supernatural also played a role in the Cube series?

It all comes down to consent and communication - not just about butts (or gender). Your partner may or may not like it when you touch them a certain way. They may also tolerate an interaction even if they don’t seek it out.
If your partner complains when you do something to them, it’s possibly they’re just playing around, but if there’s any doubt you should either stop that behavior or discuss with the partner whether it’s okay. It also may be something situational - the partner might like something in the midst of passion, but not while walking down the hallway.
You shouldn’t not touch your partner’s butt because they’ll get mad. You should not touch it if they don’t want you to because that would be a violation of their trust and desires.
That said, if the partner is cool with it, you should definitely touch their butt.

Username checks out.
- Comment on The Wagon 4 days ago:
I’m obese now, but I used to be quite fit as a teenager. In both configurations, I had a large behind.
As a teenager, I spent most of my social time with a group I’m no longer sure were good for me, though I thought I liked them at the time. The leader of the group would often comment on my posterior in a less than flattering manner. One time I was walking in front of him and he kicked it, then said something like “sorry, there’s just so much of it there!”
Since then, people have commented on my rear end, generally with positive overtones, butt all I can think of when someone comments on or attempts to interact with it is that incident.

That’s pretty good.

When I’ve heard “tatty,” it’s been short for “tattered.” Like “threadbare.” However, as you said, from context I assume that’s not what’s meant here.
- Comment on Microwave does not make room a flat, judge rules 1 week ago:
Ohhhh, it’s in the UK. I missed the “a” there and thought maybe microwaves were being used to measure levelness or erode imperfections like a Rick and Morty skit. Based on that interpretation I was surprised a judge could make decisions about physics.
The actual title, when read correctly, makes more sense.
