Sometimes if I type “LOL”, but I didn’t laugh out loud, I’ll do a quiet little chuckle so I’m not technically a liar.

I can’t blow bubbles in bubblegum beyond a sad little pea sized thing.

I can’t snap my fingers either.

I think The Last Jedi is the fourth best Star Wars film, behind only the original trilogy.

    Finger snapping is misleading. The sound does not come from your fingers moving against each other but from your middle finger hitting the meaty base of your thumb and ring finger.

    Once I knew that it was much easier to snap my fingers. Hopefully that helps you too!

      But then why does it sound so different if I take my thumb out of the motion and just slap the same spot with my finger?

        Your thumb provides the resistance necessary for your finger to hit at the speed that it does.

        Your muscles ram up in strength over time. By pushing against your thumb, your finger muscle has built up the strength to push your finger at the higher speed needed.

        while in retrospect, I did. Can you make two pea-sized bubbles at once? Thought long and hard on this answer

      Rogue One is an okay war movie in Star Wars cosplay. It’s overrated, IMHO, though it’s better than the prequels or TROS.

        I’ve had hemorrhoids I enjoyed more than TRoS. That might be the most disappointing movie I’ve ever seen in my life. I will not talk shit about anything else in Star Wars, though I can critique it will love, but that movie I despise.

    I have terrible way finding skills. After 2.5 years of working in the same building for 1 week of every month I still get lost in there if I veer off my established route. I could get lost walking out of a paper bag.

    Revenge of the Sith is my favorite Star Wars, Last Jedi is my least favorite.

    I can only snap with my right hand, I had to practice for weeks as a kid to get it.

    90% of the time I type lol I go back and delete it because I don’t want to be a liar.
