Did having to explain the definition of the word after have you also feeling aglet?

Can you give some more context for your question? It sounds like you might be replying to someone who just expressed a desire for something that you also want, but the specifics of the situation might make one reply feel more natural than another.

But based on nothing else, I’d say “I want that.” Or “I want that, too.” sounds natural to me, an East Coast American in the NYC area.

Also, looking at your posts, your English seems pretty natural, I wouldn’t guess you’re a non-native speaker reading what you write online. I can see some over-formality that I know to look for something deviant, but it’s not immediately apparent.

This is how I usually cook em. (Optionally blanch for like 30 seconds if they’re big or you find em bitter til they’re emerald green) Toss em in some olive oil with a bit of white pepper and garlic, grill or roast to desired doneness, squeeze of lemon. Delicious with a steak or alongside mushrooms.

Asparagus.

Used to hate it, had it once in season in Germany, it was so fresh and delicious, I learned how to enjoy it there.

Well you don’t want to eat every fish you catch, that’s not good for the fish population. You want to ensure you’re only taking fish that have had a chance to spawn, determined by size.

Catch and release fishing is fine for the fish. If you gut hook them and they won’t survive, well, you eat that one, but it’s also easier to avoid that if you know what sort of fish you’re looking for and change your hook/lure accordingly.

Go fishing.

For real. Take some time to focus on something new and “pointless”. Soak in some gorgeous views and learn about your local waterways. Reconnect with the land around you.

Life’s easier with a clearer head.

Ooooh we HATE it when you call us “pretty boy whom I long to hug and kiss” just so fucking much even typing it out has got me quaking with rage

They need to outlaw EDDM advertising, cap the price of beer at $5 per 16 oz., and tax the rich like we did in “the golden age of America”, the 50’s, that being 91%.

Both. If there’s a screw, I’m tightening it, baby.

I don’t think social media works well for these kinda things, but you could pick an activity you think she and her kid would enjoy and invite her out. Something casual like a museum or park. Take the temperature there and see how things feel.

My adage with dating is to err on the side of gaining a new friend as your goal. Then the worst outcome is you get a new friend.

I’d like to think I’m informed but it doesn’t change the actions I take during the day, it just makes me stressed out.

So, like, is that valuable? I’m not sure.

I’m noticing your username and I’m thinking I know why we have different experiences

Yeah, fuck it. I’m gonna razz em tho.

I’m telling the kids “take two or three!” And when the costume-less ones show up I say “hmm, no costumes? You can only take two or three then.”

I uh think we maybe have had disparate Lemmy experiences but I’m curious to see the oddity you’ve found

Phenomenal excuse to dress up in costume and get drunk

There needs to be more costumed holidays

This just sounds stressful.

Why not make batch of mulled wine, watch a film, wake up and check Reuters on Wednesday?

The outcome won’t differ. What does election coverage offer that is insightful and useful?

Fishing has been great for me. Gives ya a chance to learn what’s around you by researching local waterways and what fish live in em. Then connect with them by studying their habits throughout the year and their diet. You plan your tackle box and rod set up around that and test your studies by trying to catch the dang things. And in the process of that you get some lovely, peaceful scenery and maybe a hike.

It’s fairly cheap, too. The fishing gear on Ali Express is damn good for the price and while I can see arguments on spending on a quality rod and reel, I’ll tell ya I prefer my $65 Pflueger President spinning reel, but I wouldn’t have paid that much if I had used the $12 one I got on Ali Express first. You’ll be replacing line, lures and hooks somewhat often when you start anyway so no reason to break the bank.

In the winter months, I do more model building and painting indoors. Gunpla don’t have to be expensive and you can go all out on learning new techniques to erase mold lines and seamlessly join parts and that kinda technique learning keeps me engaged. Plus, when you’re done, you have something you can put on display. I also give completed kits away to younger relatives when I get tired of it or I wanna try the kit again with new techniques.

As far as fitness, it’s not quite a hobby, but I hop on a stationary bike and watch star trek. I fucking love Star Trek!

I despise getting ready in the dark and getting home in the dark. It’s harder to fit in a lil fishing after work and I can’t wear shorts and crop tops outside on the deck.

Winter stinks!
