I had an extraordinary experience today, but it didn't relate to a hobby or career or political topic. I tried to find an appropriate community but I guess I don't have the right terms. Where can one turn to share triumphs, defeats, and sacred moments?

 

In some 2000-10s comedy, "bish, make me a sandwich" is a common punchline. It begs the question, what goes in the sandwich?

As a follow up, how does that differ from the sandwich you might make for yourself?

Me and my ex husband use "teh sex" (sic) to mean something is beautiful and designed exceptionally well.

 

Tonight I turned on the movie Elf thinking it was another movie entirely. Now I can't, for the life of me, figure out what it was that I intended to watch.

My clearest recollection is of a red car in a chase among an impossibly perfect green field, obviously on a sound stage. The movie was quirky, artful. I thought it featured Zooey Deschanel, but nothing on her IMDB list fits.

I thought it was a movie about corporate actors taking over the North Pole, but maybe it was all a fever dream.

Anyone have ideas what I am looking for?

 

It's not much to go on, but I'm hoping someone either remembers or has better Google-fu than I do.

Some time in the late 80s or early 90s I read a YA book about a teen-ish girl in the Aluetian Islands. My most vivid memory is of her description of crabs, calling some "Jimmies," and going into extraordinary detail about the fishing process. I have the shadow of a memory that she was the first girl/woman to embark on fishing.

That's all I have to go on. Ring any bells?

I watched this over my Thanksgiving break and am so in love. There are so many themes and ideas to dissect. I wish I could find a viewing party or discussion group about it. That's how I found your post.

I'm no great thinker, but I'd love to hear others thoughts on what I see this series positing. Are there always bigger predators? When can you trust your understanding? What does survival look like, and how do you know you have achieved it? What really drives us, biology or intelligence?

Every third product I search for has a check box coupon. Is there any downside to accepting those offers? Why not just list the item at the cheaper price?

I'm really not sure how I posted here, but I'm grateful for your answer. This is exactly what I was looking for.

 

I've gone through the prompts to attach an image from my phone's gallery to this post. I suspect that it won't be there, just like my recent attempts to post to [email protected]. Is this an issue with the app or my instance?

Yeah, but if they help themselves to a nap, it's aiding a bedding.
