I don’t think I’d kill me. I think it would be cool for one of us to commit a brazen crime in broad daylight whilst also having a rock-solid alibi. I couldn’t have killed that person; I was giving a speech to 100 people at the time who can all testify for me. Give detectives etc a real head-scratcher when all the evidence points towards me being the culprit but I was also undeniably somewhere else.

I use a table knife. If I had long nails I’m sure they would do the trick though; they aren’t that strong

Maybe, but I don’t particularly feel the need to use a portal gun. If I never end up using it I don’t think I’d have particular regrets, but if I used it to save my ass during a high-stakes situation then I’d be quite glad.

Save it. I don’t have anything currently that I would want to use a portal gun on given that I can only use it once. I might use it to get myself out of a sticky situation, or wait to see if I ever move into a relatively permanent home and I could make a portal from my house to another location for convenience.

You can say USAmerican or US (as an adjective, e.g. US government) as a neutral demonym. “Yankee” and “gringo” have pejorative connotations, although I’m not Latin American so I don’t know what the connotations are among LatAm Spanish speakers. Also, my understanding of the word “gringo” as someone who lives in neither of the Americas is that it refers to specifically white people, not USAmericans in general. I’m not sure if I’ve understood the usage of the term correctly, but if other people have the same understanding, they may get confused if you call eg a Black USAmerican a gringo.

Tbh, a pet that’s friendly and tameable like a dog but physically a wolf would be cool. I think wolves are very cute.

I agree it wouldn’t be right for her to pay off your mortgage. But I think either 50/50 or proportionate to income (i.e. 1.3/1) splitting of bills, groceries, and other costs incurred by the both of you, is reasonable. But you’re in relationship, not a contract, so do discuss this with her and see what the both of you would prefer.

I think some users who use the fediverse a lot may judge on instance. I don’t really, except sometimes when I see a reactionary comment from .world and I’m like, “yeah that checks out”.
