"Dammit, I'm mad" spelled backwards is the same! I love palindromes how did I not notice this before?

@mietze My partner named their cat 'Taco' with absolutely no idea that 'Taco cat' is a palindrome. And they have no idea why I'm so jazzed at the name.

I just prefer the convenience of working out in my own home whenever the chance appears. Though we are considering membership to our local YMCA, that is mostly so my kid can have swim lessons.

@Apu Know this feeling all too well. All the hugs and empathetic wincing.
Some people just suck. Some don't. I just wish the ones really good at just pretending they aren't heartless, selfish jackasses would stop existing entirely.
