Agreed. What? I’ve never seen a study stating this. And anecdotally, it worked fine for me, once I found the right therapist, the first two were meh, not a good fit.

I don’t know many people that can afford a 29 day vacation (I’m in the US, and yes I’m jealous of what I hear about European benefits)

Ugh, wish my doc had been concerned about my drinking when it was a problem. Nope. I went in with insomnia problems, and explicitly told him I also have a drinking problem, and he prescribed the max dose of extended release Ambien with a casual “oh don’t drink on this” as if I hadn’t just told him I had a problem. I used to drink every day, he thought I’d magically stop because he prescribed something for me to take every day? NOPE. Surprised I didn’t die from the alcohol + Ambien combo because I didn’t realize how bad it truly was to mix those.

Well she involuntarily quit responding to Mom now that she’s a grandma (not my doing, my siblings have kids). So now I call her the same thing the kids do, Mimi

And they’re not accounting for any amount of cooling between slaps. What’s the ambient temp? What’s the rate of slap?

Ha, no, now they just get in the subways with big Bluetooth speakers and annoy people with that. Boom boxes phasing out didn’t stop people from being obnoxious if they want to
- Comment on Crikey 1 week ago:
And a boom box. Sure, phones can play music, but not at the same volume or quality as a dedicated stereo system

There’s a math joke I remember hearing ~10 years ago, I can’t remember the whole thing, but it was something about a mathematician not being able to tell the difference between a coffee mug and a donut, they have the same number of holes so they’re the same shape.

Pure water isn’t a good conductor, it needs other stuff mixed in to be a good conductor. Not sure why they deleted their comment. They weren’t the one being pedantic, they were complaining that other people in this thread had no sense of humor for calling out the mistake in the original pic.

I’m a filthy degenerate so that’s probably true
- Comment on Material scientist wet dream 5 weeks ago:
I’ve noticed that the nerd meme communities here are just as, if not more, pedantic than the ones on reddit

How is it worse on the battery than wired chargers? I’m guessing heat?

I was taught this for panic attacks, except it’s hard to remember what to do when in the midst of a panic attack. Then I’d just get a bit distracted trying to remember which sense came next, mission failed successfully?

This was in January of 2023, right when chat gpt was becoming popular. So it’s possible, but I think it was just a crappy therapist, it was free through my employee benefits

Not even kidding. I had a therapist tell me this story once. I promptly found a new therapist.

Paleontologists across the world have been holding out on us! I demand they release the fossils of all the cool raptors!

I didn’t forget, I just don’t know which direction that one ran off to!

This implies the existence of an acceloraptor, and even better, the jerkraptor

Ok that’s a new one, never heard of a butt clench back pop.
I can do pretty much every joint aside from hips and elbows. The loudest are my messed up shoulders from when I used to swim competitively. I’ve had multiple doctors tell me it’s the loudest shoulder pop they’ve ever heard.

Some actress with boobs. I know her from White Lotus. No idea on the ending wokeness part because I don’t follow the lives of celebrities outside of checking IMDB to see what else they’ve been in.

The sand tiger also doesn’t have a drink… So it also captures how I feel on first dates as a recovering alcoholic
