Ugh, I think sadly yes since it is about a cop doing what he can to protect the people vs the evil politician. Though, at least the cop consults and listens to experts in their fields

Oh, squids were like 1cm x ~3cm or so in size. Used a macro lens to take pics

Haha, we brought back some ketchup chips just last week! My parents said grab the family size when I was putting the bags in the cart and I was like "this IS the family size" lol. They're so tiny by comparison. Also, I really don't understand why Lays doesn't sell ketchup chips in the USA

Like if you're morally corrupt you're probably going to be so in a lot of things, not just one specific area 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lol that is interesting. Imo it kinda makes sense in that if you will cheat in something low stakes like games for fun you'd cheat in other parts of life. Similarly, imo there seems to be a lot of overlap between academics who falsify data & academics accused of sexual misconduct...

I once had a guy keep trying to login to his bank acct but was sending security codes to me....then called me and left a voicemail being annoyed that I had HIS phone number. His number for the record was like 1 digit off lol
Felt bad bc he was clearly old

I don't think anyone should have to feel guilty for their sense of taste for what it is worth, but I understand that's how you feel and I hope over time that can change. imo it shouldn't be something to feel bad about just like people shouldn't feel bad for allergies or other dietary restrictions ❤️

Lol I feel bad if someone wants to cook for me too, esp the more they know about me cause I want them to enjoy it as well! 😭
I think things that get reinforced a lot during childhood can be hard to overcome. I was lucky in that I had a parent who is the same way so there was an obv genetic link

It's a little awkward sometimes & occasionally I'll force myself to eat some things for sake of politeness but generally I don't feel guilty for being how I am cause that's just how it is 🤷🏻‍♀️
esp as I'm happy to bring my own food if necessary & don't expect anyone to cater to my tastes!

I felt bad about it a lot as a kid, esp as ppl were so judgy of my mom. SO many friends' moms would force us to eat stuff (we wouldn't ask for anything special, just to NOT eat) bc they thought it was just bad parenting. Now that I know it's just how my brain/body is I don't feel bad anymore...

37 if I counted right lol
Super taster + neurodivergent 🤪

Always feel I need to add the disclaimer that: my mom was a fine cook, I'm an OK cook, it's not about "how it's prepared" AND my mom tried *really* hard to get us (me+sib) to eat many of the things crossed off on this list as kids
