“Twin” is slang for “friend”, and that grammar is very common in the types of conversations that use twin in that way. This is pretty typical conversation among ~20 year olds.

What app is that?

Congrats! My little one is a bit shy of a year old. So far, every second has been worth whatever headaches have happened. It truly is a wonderful thing. As long as you love your baby and do you best to act in their best interest and for what’s good for them, everything will be just fine :)

I love that website. This one is a personal favourite of mine.

I’ve never seen that cat one before, I like it.

I’ve started going in to work early so I’m getting up at 4:30 every morning now. Last week I was texting a friend who hadn’t gone to bed yet while I was getting ready for work. He works a typical 9-5 office job from home so he probably wakes up pretty late by my standards, even still he was probably pretty tired that day at work. But that’s his norm, it’s crazy to me.

My black cat is exactly like this. I love it.

Back when I was still on Instagram there was an account that would post fake Seinfeld plots like this, it was one of my favourite accounts on there.

There was a subreddit dedicated to this guy, I think called r/fuckxavier. It was just screenshots like this with a bunch of people hating on Xavier. I don’t really remember why anymore but it was kinda fun.

I don’t listen to much Beach Boys but I’ve got a lot of respect for that album.

Depends on what you’re measuring. For housing we use square feet, for land we use acres and sometimes square km depending on context, most other things in my experience we just use dimensions instead (eg. 11x13 or something). If you have specific areas in mind I may be able to more precisely answer your question.

Toque in Canada.

Must be an American thing. Where I live, teachers make 65k-110k depending on experience and position.

I’m glad to see more Entrapranure posts here, it’s something I really missed when I left Instagram.

I didn’t think I liked horror until I watched the original Alien. Now it’s up there for my favourite movie of all time. I’m still a bit nervous to branch out since I hate jump scares, but maybe I’ll check out the Thing. I’ve heard good things.

My first thought too. I love records, my record setup is where nearly all of my hobby money goes into, but I’d never recommend a suitcase player to anyone. I don’t have a ton of hobby money to spend so my setup isn’t super expensive or anything but I did make sure to get a nice player at least. Low-to-mid range speakers and pre-amps and stuff can still be okay, especially these days the lower end is getting a lot better, but a cheap player can do actual damage to a record over time.

If someone reading this is looking to get into the hobby, do yourself a favour and save up a bit for the player. You can get cheap speakers and all that and upgrade later but a bad player can ruin your records over time, especially if you spin them regularly. I personally have a Pro-Ject Debut III, you can switch between a built-in pre-amp or an external one, so you can start with the built-in one and then get a dedicated one later on to help with initial costs, and Pro-Ject makes excellent players. Zero plastic anywhere except the dust cover, European company and hand made in Europe, so you’re not supporting American business if that’s important to you, and even their lower end players are still very well made with all the features you’d want (adjustable anti-skate and counterweight, switch between 33/45/78 rpm, soft drop for the needle so it doesn’t hurt the record, high quality materials, comes with a pretty decent diamond cartridge, etc) plus they tend to be pretty easily upgradable. Audio-Technica is also supposedly pretty good at that price range but I never found one I loved, meanwhile every Pro-Ject I’ve messed around with has been a genuine pleasure to operate. I’m not an expert but I do have a bit of a hobbyist knowledge and experience if anyone has questions.

I’m in a similar field and I’m pretty sure if I told them I was drunk they’d tell me “yeah me too, now come in to work”.
