This is often called “waiting mode” and there are strategies to help deal with it. For me, that’s alarms. If I have an appointment, I’ll set alarms for when to be in the shower, out of the shower, and out the door. It allows you to actually relax.

Ooh, I know this one. The shirt is in my still unpacked suitcase from that trip three years ago.

My mom found three gifts I bought for her in the same suitcase 6 months after I returned.

Smash that like button and don’t forget to ring the bell for notifications

If you have Italian ancestry, they actually have government help that will do free reviews of US immigration documents. I missed my Italian citizenship by a few years :(

But it was super easy to find out. Just google around for it, jure sanguinis or something like that.

Something that a lot of replies are missing is how quickly and dramatically we change appearance at that age. Imagine if filming runs over a year and the 14-year-old you hired is now a foot taller and the shape of his face changed through puberty. Sure, little kids grow fast, but features don’t change nearly as much, especially for boys in their teens.

Mine bullies me precisely by staying just out of my line of sight and rattling things.

Isekai is religion for the modern era. “Oh, don’t be sad he was hit by truck-kun, he’s in a better place now.”

Note, I’m all for this. If I die in an accident, I firmly expect friends and family to workshop a story plot at the funeral

This is both genius, and feels like propaganda to trick kids into going to the bath on their own.

It’s one of the few single-use kitchen appliances I find completely justifiable.

This isn’t cultural, it’s a physical necessity of turning on a bike. If you were to just turn, you’d fall over. I seem to recall veritassium having an excellent video where they physically prevented the bike from countersteering to showcase.

People do it in cars for another reason; it gives you a wider turn angle.
