  Reading books, writing, doing crafts, going on walks, hanging out with pets, gardening, doing chores, cooking, making art, looking at the stars…

  I just figured 4% is 1/25 and divided 75/25

  That’s not correct though, you don’t start at zero

  She might be cool with and prefer a lab-grown or vintage diamond, though.

  If they’re skilled enough to make that reflection in photoshop, they’d probably have made it look more realistic

  I still like flattish soda, but as a kid I preferred totally flat soda because the prickling hurt more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From your body’s perspective, fat is insurance. Our bodies aren’t used to excess, so we’re built to accumulate fat whenever we can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I currently work at a bakery as essentially a barista. I don’t have any special passion for the work, but I love the idea of being a part of putting bread on so many community members’ tables. I considered switching to a cleaning job at my company and I would have the same motivation.

  I don’t expect anyone to have a passion for sweeping floors and would also think they were lying if I heard that, but they can have a passion for the work the business does and want to support it any way they can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Managing large teams is less about managing their work and more about managing the people so that they can work more effectively.

  Well done for realizing that within three years. It’s true for smaller teams as well, but with a smaller team, it’s possible to get away with managing their work, it just won’t be nearly as effective.

  Is there one that isn’t nonstop (excluding stopovers in New Zealand- not because it doesn’t count, but because I’m wondering whether there’s a place to stop between South America and Oceania)?

  I just grew up around Yiddish and speak German

  I think your spelling is a little verkakt, but the bread looks incredible

  Plus if you hand me a messy stack, I now have to leave the table with it. If I can arrange food waste and cutlery on my own, I can carry way more

  That finger looks shockingly like a penis because of the shadow. I can’t not see it.

  On the backdrop you mean? That would be from light refracting off of other places in the background and converging behind the gadget, partially illuminating the shadow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh, right...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is “spring and fall” actually a set phrase or not? My actual not to pick was that “fall” only refers to the early part of the season, I just wanted to get a little more of the quote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perfection.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s also something to be said for the strength required to constantly operate a heavy body. I used to do a lot of community dance, and it’s so, so much easier to do that at a low weight.

  Immediately post COVID, I danced for the first time in ~18 months after having gained probably 10-15 kg, and I was fucking wrecked. Since then, I’ve lost the weight, but I’m now a smoker. It’s still so much easier to dance now, and I don’t have a way to test it, but I would be surprised if I’m in better cardiovascular health now than I was then. I’m just lifting less weight with every movement.
