Try weisswurst & sauerkraut paired with a Hefeweizen (mild white sausage and wheat beer).

The absence of sex is part of the definition for platonic (unless you're referencing how Plato himself had sex which would have to be Platonic, but it's a different word when capitalized).

platonic: Neither sexual nor romantic in nature; being or exhibiting platonic love.

platonic love: Intimate but non-sexual affection.

Attested 1636 in Platonic Lovers by William Davenant. Earlier coined in Latin in the 15th century as amor platonicus by Florentine scholar Marsilio Ficino (originally in 1476 letter to Alamanno Donati, later expounded in De amore (1484)), based on his interpretation of the Symposium by Plato, specifically the speech by Socrates, relating the thoughts of Diotima of Mantinea.

If you like tuna casserole, it is basically the same thing with different noodles. I would add an extra can of tuna. Sample recipe: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/cheesy-tuna-lasagna/#RecipeCard

Looks like this guy couldn't get financed to make something similar: https://www.homecrux.com/solarbrella-turns-beach-umbrella-charging-dock-phone/74666/

-- but my search did turn up alibaba results for similar stuff, so they probably just stole the idea from him.

Nitpick: You want a parasol or sunshade, not an umbrella. Umbrellas are for rain (latin origins aside). It is cloudy when it rains.

You're probably focusing on the wrong thing. My guess is that while you think she was reacting to what you said, she was probably reacting to something else. For example, if you have boys who wore wet clothes without comment, or if you yourself have worn wet clothes without complaint, she might think it sexist to presume a female is required to be more modest than a male. She might have thought you were acting as if your immature child was vamping like she was in a wet t-shirt contest rather than a squirmy toddler (no idea what age your girl is, tho) and that your reaction was too embarrassed. It could have been a number of things, but you'd have to ask her to find out.

Has to be the current POTUS simply because there are more people with more access to more places to post ridicule. Add to that the whole marketing drive for 'engagement' (especially ragebait) and AI, and you end up with a volume of ridicule greater than ever before possible in human history. In the future, perhaps we can get the bots to shout at one another somewhere easy for humans to ignore.

A relative got billed thousands of dollars for post-medical transport back home. Insurance covered the cost to fly him to the hospital, but not the trip back. This guy has spent decades enjoying his home in the middle of nowhere, but everything has gotten harder as he's grown older. He knew he was getting short of breath more easily, but didn't realize his lungs were severely deteriorating -- until his wife found him passed out on the ground instead of doing yard work.

Now he has to use oxygen (5l/min) all the time, is mostly stuck in the house, and lives too far from most services to do anything. His wife can drive to town to get groceries and the like, but he has to calculate if he'll have enough oxygen to make a trip, and his wife doesn't want him driving at all lest he get dizzy and cause an accident. Airlines won't let him fly.

The couple are having a hard time finding people to drive all the way out to their place to help take care of things. They are pretty much stuck out there with a lot of chores they can't do and very little entertainment. They did finally manage to get someone to install a generator so when the power goes out (which happens often enough), they can keep recharging the oxygen.

Prior to this, he'd been making long trips to see doctors for back and neck pain because there weren't any close providers, but those docs somehow missed his breathing issues. I don't know if he was seeing a GP as well, but his choices were limited. Family had urged him to move somewhere more ... well, if not urban, at least suburban for over a decade because his medical care never seemed very good. Now it is nearly impossible.

Does that answer the question? The guy went from doing yard work one day to incapacitated the next. I'm sure the change is usually less instantaneous for most people, but there are cases like his where the change from healthy to 'not' is fast.

It sounds like your mom did you wrong. You can't change that. You CAN change what you do now.

Look, I've known more than a couple people who heard the same and worse from their mothers. One girl knew their dad had been abusive and their mom had to step in and take punches to keep the then-toddler girl from getting hit. A guy who's dad ran off had a young mom who really never meant to be a mom, was bad at it, and couldn't afford to feed her kids. I don't know the full stories for all my acquaintances, but those are two who both heard their moms say things like, "I wish you were never born." and "You ruined my life."

It sucks to hear that, but moms are not perfect, have their own stresses to deal with, and sometimes too much heart break can get a person to say things they should not.

Maybe life IS meaningless, but there's a bunch of us fuckers stuck here who are all struggling to make a go of it despite the circumstances, and while we can acknowledge that everything sucks, you probably don't know we think that because we're not in the worst of depression at the moment and try to fill the emptiness with small pleasantries rather than slip back into the well of sorrow, saying a mindless patter of things like, "It's a beautiful day" or "We needed the rain", or "Great game last night."

You are not alone. You can get through this. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to others. Try to do something -- anything -- for yourself, or for someone else, or for everyone.
