Like those cows with the portal in their side that they bring around to elementary schools to show kids how chambered stomachs work! (Just now realizing this might not be a universal experience and may have had to do with my elementary school’s proximity to UC Davis (Agriculturally focused college).

My aunt was raised by her grandfather and called him Grandy. Everyone has called him that since.
- Comment on Is it weird to juggle in the park? 2 weeks ago:
and hurts no one.
That depends entirely on what he’s juggling and how skilled he is.

It’s always the grossest old men who are like “I just don’t want to imagine two men fucking, It grosses me out.” Like buddy… do you think I want to imagine your fat saggy self sweating and grunting away, regardless of partner choice? No, no I do not. So I don’t. It’s not that hard.

I’m in the Bay Area and we still have them in high and low end grocery stores. At Safeway they even still play the fun little thunder sounds before it starts.
- Comment on What would this list look like for your generation? 4 weeks ago:
For us it was just finger guns and swear words.
- Comment on What should I do if someone applied to a job at a company I work at without being able to legally work in my country? 4 weeks ago:
What country are you in? If USA, you must be able to fill out an I-9. It’s pretty cut and dry. If there is a recruiter involved, they are required to have the potential employee complete one before they refer them.

The root chakra (just above your taint) is generally associated with the color red. Heart chakra is associated with green.
Meditation is such a broad description, anything from a moment of focused attention to sitting for hours muttering a mantra.
I haven’t heard anyone talk of “growing” chakras, and I’m very much in that world, they aren’t like muscles. You would grow your awareness of your chakras.
If you consider taking a moment to be aware of the sensations, emotions and images in the center of your chest to be “meditation,” I’m not sure how you could accomplish your goal. Otherwise… do that.
I like to take a moment when I see something particularly beautiful- sun sparkling on water, sunsets/sunrises, a striking vista, the moon on a clear night, and “breathe” it into my heart chakra.

*comatose children. In the original Grimms version, Snow White is seven. In the original Disney version, she’s 14.

- Comment on If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be? 1 month ago:
This guy thinks so, but you also have to do cold plunges. And is more about converting your fat into a better kind of fat.
- Comment on When Lemmy got named did no one think that the "lemming" association might alienate people? 2 months ago:
Lemmings don’t jump off cliffs and they are not stupid. A sociopath employed by Disney threw a few dozen off a cliff for documentary in the 50s, for… reasons…? The story stuck. They’re just normal little rodents, tougher than most, as they can survive brutal winters on bleak landscapes.
- Comment on How does one go about curing a pill hangover? Never had one but a patient of me asked me this and I had no answer. I know how to get over alcohol hangover but not a pill hangover? 2 months ago:
So many things come in pill form…
- Comment on At what point in the relationship should I move in with my girlfriend? 2 months ago:
Dan Savage, the romantic advice columnist, says you should not move in together until you have been farting in front of each other for six months.
- Comment on I am from a different millenia 2 months ago:
Don’t see a lot of Five Iron Frenzy references around here! It’s such a… specific genre.
- Comment on Why don't states in the US come up with their own health insurance program? So people can pay into it prolly less then what they pay now and the state put the money in a bank and use the interest for 2 months ago:
You can’t just go get medi-cal though, you have to qualify by having an income of $20k or below (more if you have kids), are under 21 or over 65, permanently disabled or currently pregnant.
People on medi cal are constantly stressing about earning $1 too much and losing their healthcare. Covered California helps, but it’s still bad.
- Comment on Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device? 3 months ago:
I cannot imagine working on spreadsheets on a smartphone. I’m getting a stress headache thinking about it.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
They send me hand written Hallmark cards. They don’t know my name (yet) so mine get addressed to “our neighbor” but my neighbors get them addressed by name and are very creeped out by it. The latest one came during the LA fires and is about how “the bible” will help me “cope” with extreme weather:
- Comment on Is there any non-zero possibility Musk was not doing a Hitler Salute? 4 months ago:
For reference:
“14 Words” is a reference to the most popular white supremacist slogan in the world: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”
- Comment on "Family Size" has no meaning anymore 4 months ago:
It’s 300 calories per serving (4 servings per box). If you’re on a 2000 calorie diet, a meal is 500 - 700 calories, so this would be a snack or a dish that requires a side. Or eat the whole box yourself and it’s about the same as a Big Mac combo.Image
- Comment on how do I show a coworker that I care about her after her mother died? 4 months ago:
House cleaning gift certificates are also nice, if you know folks are already overwhelmed with casseroles. Same idea, taking some burden off their plate, freeing up their time off to grieve.
- Comment on bird flu 4 months ago:
Yes…? We’ve been vaccinating livestock for relevant diseases since 1879, starting with Chicken Cholera.
- Comment on Thanks mom, I don't want any 4 months ago:
There also appears to be some sort of sliced lunch meat in the mix there. Again… lawless hellscape.
- Comment on A guy just got arrested in Houston US for allegedly being an ISIS member. I grew up in Reagan and 911 era are these people just saying this or are they actively buying bombs? 6 months ago:
Just FYI, while the concentration camps in the US were absolutely inexcusable, destroyed communities, forced people to sell their homes and businesses and took people away from the lives they had built and everything the knew and loved, they were not extermination camps.
Of the 120,000 people unjustly incarcerated, 1,862 people died in the camp hospitals in the four years the camps operated. The current US mortality rate is about 0.8% (about 800 deaths per 100,000 people per year). So for 120,000 people (using today’s standard, I can’t find the rate for the 1940s), we would expect about 960 deaths per year, or 3840 in all four years.
Again, not condoning the US concentration camps in any way. But they were not death camps.

- Comment on How do I alleviate bitterness due to lack of intimacy? 8 months ago:
Cognitive behavioral therapy workbooks work almost as well without a therapist as with one. You just have to have the self discipline to actually do it.
- Comment on Suddenly it all makes sense. 9 months ago:
There are a few in my town and it’s really hard not to stare as they go by, even after seeing them around a bit. I imagine a few accidents have happened by now because people can’t stop rubbernecking and going “Holy shit, it looks even stupider in real life!!” >> crash.
