- Comment on DAE who is single with no prospects or self-control occasionally have a cheeky little sippy-sip of the pickle water straight from the jar? 1 hour ago:
What is this “occasionally” nonsense??? When I finish eating the pickles then I drink all of the juice! I try not to in one go because I hear that too much at once can be not great for you. But I fucking love it.
- Comment on My next door neighbor is trying to lose a 100lbs. But having real problems getting his breathing under control when exercising. Is there like a breathing exercise he can do everyday to improve? 2 days ago:
I don’t think this is a thing that can be solved with breathing exercises. His heart and lungs are struggling to keep up with his excess weight. Weight lifting doesn’t really help with cardiac fitness. It’s good that he wants to strength train, but it’s unlikely to help his breathing.
He needs several things:
- Dieting will help decrease the strain on his heart and lungs as his body mass decreased
- He needs to specifically train cardio. Not running, obviously, but more walks. But you don’t want him to overexert himself. Instead of taking long walks, he needs to work on walking more often with breaks.
- Being checked out by a doc is really important in case he has a heart issue like congestive heart failure from the stress he has put on his body.
I am very glad he is trying to better himself and wish him the best of luck.

Weird as fuck how heavily this gets downvoted.
Yes, it does matter in a medical context. Anyone who thinks otherwise is fucking ridiculous and not understanding the nature of reality.
I agree that it doesn’t matter in too many other places. But pretending it doesn’t matter in a medical context is quite frankly ridiculous.

- Comment on I despise laundry. How can I make my life contain less of it? 1 week ago:
This is maybe tmi, but female bodies produce secretions down there even while not on their period. It’s called cervical mucous and is most not able once a month (a week or two after your period ends). I understand that you are male. But as someone with female parts, I just wonder if it would be embarrassing standing up and there is a stain on the couch.
- Comment on Vapes Are So Bad For You 1 week ago:
Actually…weirdly enough, a majority of these cases of lung damage from vaping happened in 2019-2020. One of the most likely culprits of the outbreak is a chemical called vitamin E acetate, which was used as a thickening agent in weed vapes. I don’t think we’ve had many cases since the major outbreak.
So it might not have been “vaping too much” so much as it was likely contaminated vapes.
I don’t vape, myself. But there is always more background info to discover on these things.

I used to not know what to do with myself on weekends so I’d either work a ton of overtime or sometimes drink until I vomited.

- Comment on pisspost 2 weeks ago:
Yes and no. Washing machines only have the water level go so high for maximum fill loads. it’s honestly a disappointing level. You’d think they would have the capacity to fill water to the top of the drum, but in my experience they don’t. (Maybe old models do?) If you overfill your washer, it might not be able to clean off all the piss.
- Comment on My right foot is swollen 2 weeks ago:
Holy fucking hell!! That looks terrifying! Glad you went to the doc! What do you think the infection was from??? Did you cut your foot somewhere?
I just went to the doc for some weird clusters of blisters scattered across my right leg/foot, some of which had been painful. The urgent care said they looked like bug bites but they were taking forever to go away. My mom is a nurse and she said it looks like shingles. I’m traveling so it’s hard to go to a doc a this point. It’s been over a week and at least it doesn’t feel worse so I think I’m past the point of antivirals doing anything. Annoying this.
- Comment on Hate when this happens 3 weeks ago:
You know what you got me there. For some reason individually wrapped candies are another thing. Maybe because one doesn’t at all seem like a reasonable serving size or something. Like…who just has a singular candy? Meanwhile snack size bags of chips at least have multiple chips.
- Comment on Hate when this happens 3 weeks ago:
In general I would say I agree and owe my healthy weight mostly to this. Another thing that I would always do is instead of buying a regular family size bag of chips, I would buy the snack pack sizes. It’s a lot more expensive and more wasteful that way. But it’s easy to mindlessly consume half of a bag of family size chips. It’s less easy to mindlessly individually open 10 snack bags of chips.
But goddamnit, food delivery apps are my vice. They just bring whatever you want directly to you. I guess at least with these I’m generally only ordering a single meal rather than a ton of snacks.

Idk how you can tell if this is a man or woman from this angle. But imo anyone doing incredibly weird shit in public shouldn’t be surprised if someone snaps a pic.

Hell…sitting just on the ground I’d even understand. It sounds spontaneous enough. But bringing out a fucking chair is just deliberate and fucking bizarre behavior.

It’s not a common scenario nowadays, but I have a coworker with 4 incredibly young children all only a year or two apart in age. A bit harder to wrangle that many children who are that young.

Honestly I’m not even depressed but I just in general am a pretty lazy and easily tired person lol. I remember when I got my first full time job in my early 20s. Was my first time working 40 hours a week and I was like holy shit is every adult just tired all the time from this???

Yeah if you’re using them up that quick, you’re not likely to really come across it.

You’ve never experienced freezer burn? It’s not when it feels too cold to touch.
Freezer burn is when “unwrapped” food in the freezer gets ice crystalized all over it. It turns the texture into a disgusting mess when it’s cooked…overly chewy and even messes with the taste.
It happens more often when food has been opened and then placed in the freezer for a prolonged period of time.
I say unwrapped because it doesn’t necessarily mean just open without a container. Like for example I have a bag of chicken nuggets in the freezer. The bag has a re-closable ziplock type closure. However, sometimes over time, if I’ve opened and re-closed the bag, sometimes some of the remaining nugs get freezer burned.
If you’re using up said bag of nuggets relatively quickly, then it’s not a concern. But if you’re only having nuggets once and a while, then freezer burn is more likely to happen.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Honestly, I’m with you on that.
Idk maybe it’s because I’m a millennial who has boomer parents who never “got ahead” in life. One of my parents is unlikely to ever be able to retire. I never got the “rich boomer” hate because my parents continue to work and struggle financially in their mid to late 60s.
Gets a bit tiring to hear large swaths of people shit on other large swaths of people all the time. Such is the internet, I suppose.

On one hand, I completely and totally hear you. The thing that people don’t think about is that they do color someone’s initial impression of a comment. So you’re significantly more likely to get more negative engagement from others that way. It’s why some places/sites sometimes obscure the initial votes for a set number of time.

Looks like there are now four of them. This is very upsetting as I’ve blocked them and don’t want to have to make a new account. :( I’ve never been systemically harassed before online.
