    I understand what you're saying about the structural integrity, it's definitely more impractical. It depends a bit on the type of pizza though. In my country we generally eat rectangular pizza with a strong dough base throughout.

    Of course I don't eat pizza with fork and knife. I eat it with my hands crust first. I know, apart from being backwards it's more impractical. But, hear me out, the crust is the least flavourful...

    Of course I don't eat pizza with fork and knife. I eat it with my hands crust first. I know, apart from being backwards it's more impractical. But, hear me out, the crust is the least flavourful part. Some people just leave it, but I'm not ok with food waste. So I eat it first and leave the yummys for the last bite. Sue me.

    As a Uruguayan, I can say the same thing, El Chavo was massive here. I used to watch it every day as a child and loved it. Thanks for sharing the video.

    Wow, I hadn't considered that. However, I'd rather be ogled at than gropped. I had a TSA agent pat me once 6 years ago and I have to say, I'm a little traumatized still.

    There's another option for me too. I could commit a serious crime and turn myself in. Then I would be in jail, without worrying about rent or paying for food, and I wouldn't even be bothered with using technology.

    There are always options of course.

    I don't think complaining about an aspect of your job means you should quit.

    I've been a teacher for 10 years. I'm the rare tildes user who is terrible with technology. This is literally the only social media I have installed on my phone and use. But with the pandemic and since then, my job has forced me to teach online. I don't think using computers is as optional as you think.

    About the organization, you reminded me about an early episode where they show you her house and it's an absolute mess. I think this supports your thesis, she focuses on other things.

    Also, I just saw on Netflix a Norwegian movie called Nr. 24. It's the story about a real man who was part of the resistance against the nazi invasion. I really liked it.

    Thanks so much for your reply! I'm glad the practical side of things is not that complicated in your case, but the emotional part always sucks. I hope you can process your grieving as well as possible and I hope you have a good support system there to help you through it. I know, calling it grieving sounds extreme, she's not dying, but from your side it might feel that way. A person (and their family and friends) who was there won't be there anymore.

    I linked this video to a friend who is going through a difficult break up, I hope it helps her. The last conversation we had was about the million reasonable reasons why they shouldn't be tougher. A lot of it covered by the video. But then after saying all of that she says: "But I don't know, we might make it through". So frustrating. I understand where she's coming from, it's difficult and they have dogs together and had just bought a house. I told her she is obviously her own person, but that after everything she said getting back together didn't sound very healthy. We'll see how it goes.

    I think you might have misunderstood the comment. I interpret that they are saying that the salute thing is the distraction and that this is the real news people need to focus on.

    Watching TV doesn't have to be socially isolating. You can watch with other people and comment while you watch. Even if you don't do that, it gives you conversation material for later, especially if you have watched the same program. And this used to be more common in the past: I missed the episode yesterday, please tell me what happened!
