• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does seeing daylight create an illusion of being a little more warm?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  When it’s been a long cold night, getting colder by the hour, and finally you see the sky start to lighten and especially when that first real ray of sunlight tips over the horizon, it may not have actually begun to warm you but the hope does make you feel a little warmer. You know it’s at least not going to continue getting colder, and in most cases it will actually be warming up for several hours ahead. Maybe that hope makes your heart beat a little faster, that would help warm you up too.

  It’s like that, disgusting and/or exposed, because your body is trying to keep you from pissing the bed. When you start to have a dream like that, wake up and you’ll realize you need to go to the bathroom. Your own clean normal private bathroom.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instead of asking all my stupid questions separately, could I just get a ton of "How to Adult" type resources in the comments?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I set a perpetual calendar reminder for cleaning the dishwasher filter every month, the HVAC filter every 3 months, the water filter every 5 months. My husband’s calendar reminders are to refill his meds every 24 days. Those days add up to one extra refill a year.

  They’d have much more success if they wrote “DO NOT PUSH THIS BUTTON” on the actual button.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calm down⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The physical inequality, just like OP’s example, always makes it more egregious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calm down⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is. You’re absolutely right. But right now nobody’s seeing anything but the 50-Foot Tall Woman, so they can’t think about your logic. Maybe see if swinging one more of those Marines into the fence will be enough to help you get control of your rage. No actually better use the Mayor, he’s an insufferable prick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calm down⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I would still prefer to hear chill, maybe you stumbled on that person’s trigger. Or perhaps it’s an age thing. I associate it with peers, but maybe for them it’s parents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calm down⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a good one!

  You are getting sleeeeepy…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calm down⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So use any one of the multitudinous other phrases available in English to actually HELP them become calmer or less agitated. Respond to the facts of the individual situation instead. “He’s not worth it.” “You’re better than this/you have been doing so much better, don’t let this set you back.” “You’re in a bad trip man, gonna have to ride it out as easy as you can.” “Chill, dude.” “Take a deep breath.” (This may be followed by one loud long scream, but that’s cathartic and may be followed by rational behavior)

  Nobody, no matter how much they need to get control over their emotions and behavior, needs to “calm down”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calm down⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The most incendiary 2-word phrase in the English language.

  It’s belittling and aggressive and dismissive all at once.

  Even saying something as similar as “get a grip, man!” has a much better chance of success.

  Guess you’ll have to bring fresh-baked cookies to work then, for cover. And also sharing. Pro tip: make them large, then break a few in half, depending on the gender splits in your workplace. Women who would like a cookie but feel guilty because of norms about dieting will happily take a half. Or maybe break off a quarter. But they won’t break one if none are already broken. Most men will enjoy taking a whole one because diet norms don’t apply to them. A few people will enjoy virtuously refusing them because vegan or something. Nobody will notice you smell like vanilla.

  If you’re not a baker, or you have a friend with celiac, Rice Krispy Bars also have vanilla and are gluten free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Original? You smell like my dad. I’m 65. Still a great scent though. As a little girl I’d dab it behind my ears for perfume.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You guys don’t get it. Those products smell like that to appeal to women. If anyone even notices you smell like a woman, the obvious inference is that you have a girlfriend. Or at least spent the night with a woman. If it’s dilute enough to not really be noticeable, women will just find it appealing. Vanilla in particular is non-gendered, what you smelled like was a cookie!

  Modern fish are often dark on top and light underneath to fool prey/predators but also often colorful. Why do they assume one evolutionary step over the other? That beautiful blimpie belly calls out for decoration!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hit it and quit it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s correct according to the “at conception” crowd! Why have silly words like “embryo” and “fetus” when you can just call it a “baby” or “person” and give it the same complete lack of medical and financial assistance as the born children and people in your red states?

  In my garden the dandelions turned out to be Sowthistle. Which should be handy if any hungry sows show up on my second-floor apartment balcony.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‎ ‎ ‎⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In Gotham City some of the most expensive buildings are very old. Also old apartments often had “maid’s quarters” located on the top floor because it was hot up there before AC. So they’re small and simple but have great views and might be convenient for rappelling out into the night. Peter Parker would love one but can’t afford to be in a doorman building.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Very Hungry Kittypillar⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, and everything that can be proved to be impossible is also science.

  It would be cool to have a specific instance for children’s book memes, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where on the internet would you discuss a specific case of a potential exploitation of a minor within the adult industry"?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not a thing you discuss, it’s a thing you report. If you aren’t sure, report what you do know so they can open an investigation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dual immunity (see body)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never been wakened by a bear, but so many times by babies! Not lately, bc I’m old and they somehow survived to adulthood. But I’m glad my sleep deprivation was not compounded by blindness.

  Tbh so did they, (see arrows) but 31 wasn’t one of the choices. Tbextrah, there’s infinite temps in between the full degrees.
