- Comment on Anyone know where this is from? 1 week ago:
Was it addressed to you? I’d be cagey about something LGBT related showing up addressed to me without anyone I knew sending it, but that might be overly paranoid.
It looks like it’s a zine made by some New York film company called A24.
- Comment on WHY 1 week ago:
I’m sure there’s etymological reasons, but in practice ‘la hospital’ being less pleasant to say (with two vowel sounds directly next to each other) probably contributed. Like how it’s el agua, even though any adjectives for it are feminine: el agua contaminada.
- Comment on HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit Game Bundle - $25 for 30 games 1 week ago:
In the collection description I guess it doesn’t, but if you click on any of the games included it’s clear that they’re tabletop role playing games (some even have it in the title icon). I can edit the post to include that if people think it’s misleading, though

I’m walking off into the woods if that happens. Dying in a week can’t be worse than that.
- Comment on people who drink, how long do your hangovers last? 1 week ago:
When you’re drinking more water you also need a little bit of salt to balance out your electrolytes, since you’re pissing them all out.
- Comment on I watched Arrival (2016), there was a lot more to it than I was expecting 1 week ago:
I put him up there with Asimov, Clarke, and Heinlein, easily.
- Comment on Casper the Theoretical Ghost 1 week ago:
I hate that I know this, but the 90s live action movie canon is that he died as a child of pneumonia.

Wait, everyone else’s school had breadsticks? What did they serve with them? We only ever got rolls.
- Comment on Can I lose a beer belly working out one day a week? 2 weeks ago:
I agree with the comment saying that 130lbs doesn’t sound overweight, unless you’re 5’0 or under. Does your belly look obviously big to you in photos, or has anyone else ever mentioned it? Your perspective when you look down at your belly will make it look larger to you, so it might only be you that sees your belly as too big.
Keep in mind as well that in any photos of men you see who are body building, they have often dehydrated themselves to make their muscles stand out more. If you’re properly hydrated you’re never going to look like that, even if you exercise every day.
But strengthening your core muscles is really good for your back, so it’s probably not a bad idea to do sit ups and push ups.

Thanks for the accurate info!

I think it’s from 30 Rock (TV series).
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
In California (and probably other states, but I know here for sure) they have “Spanish for Spanish speakers” classes in addition to regular Spanish classes, presumably so people can’t do that, lol.
- Comment on this time it'll be different 2 weeks ago:
You have no post history, so I guess you never shared them here. If it’s so easy to do and low effort maybe you could contribute.

The internet version of “the intelligence of the dumbest humans and the smartest bears overlaps significantly” trash can problem?
- Comment on It do be like that 2 weeks ago:
Better you wading through the muck than me. If you find something while mud larking, might as well show it off.
- Comment on Can someone go check on Cincinnati? I think they might be having some mental health issues. 3 weeks ago:
I was instantly revolted when I read chili and ice cream on the same product because I was imagining frozen beans, but it’s apparently just a bit of the chili spice and some oyster crackers, which are basically like adding a sugarless wafer. Weird but not as deranged as I feared.

I’m sorry, I loved it too! What they did with the time they had was fantastic.

Our Flag Means Death, made by the same guy who created People of Earth (which I also recommend).
- Comment on And aching. 3 weeks ago:
Canceled before its time. We need more shows that are just about gay joy and healing. And a little murder. But mostly the other stuff.
- Comment on moms rule 4 weeks ago:
No idea, I’m not as read up on that. It would shock me if it was significantly different just because risk of death from complications is a hard biological line the younger you get, pre-modern medicine.
- Comment on moms rule 4 weeks ago:
In Western Europe at least back to the early medieval period it was common for anyone who wasn’t nobility to have their first child around 22. The younger you are the more likely you’re going to have serious (fatal, back then) complications. It was the nobility that was marrying off barely pubescent kids.

If you lived in an environment where there was a non zero chance that at any moment a giant predator could barge into your living space and kill you or your family then you’d probably be having a lot of stress relief sex, too!

Honestly probably, lmao. Everyone I see keeping isopods has them
- Comment on Is there anything my girlfriend and I have to consider when traveling to America based on our skin differences? 4 weeks ago:
The Smokies are beautiful, I’m sure you’ll both have a good time. Chattanooga is worth visiting if you have the time, it’s a good mix of college town and rural Appalachian beauty.
Just be aware of your surroundings and whether or not anyone is giving you the stink eye or staring you down, and assume any dude giving you shit has a gun (ie, don’t escalate and just leave). The majority of people are not gonna be a problem, especially in urban areas. But anyone telling you it never happens is living in denial.

Do you think that they think every other creature has a fucked up looking face, or do they have no idea they look the way they do? Every other time they meet another sand boa are they like “Jesus Christ, what happened to him??”

That song automatically plays in my head like I’m the fucking Manchurian candidate and you just said my trigger phrase, lmao

Nobel Super Lemon candy is sour AF, if you have an Asian market near you.
