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

  I just sleep like I’m a freeze frame of the party boy dance on my face

• ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

  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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fresh fakakta bread⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your test for people?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

  lol, what a dubious honor. “Are you saying I suck?”

  I always say: if it’s worth doing a half assed job, it’s worth stressing out about for days

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck you in particular⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨No words⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Larry David introduced RFK Jr and his wife (Cheryl Hines, also from cye)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh, right...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh, right...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your source doesn’t say that at all.

  Autumn and fall are used interchangeably as words for the season between summer and winter. Both are used in American and British English, but fall occurs more often in American English.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Give a lil, get a lil⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, you hit the nail on the head. I’m desperate for any other way out of this mire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Give a lil, get a lil⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Luckily, they might be too young to really remember it. One just turned three (so she may remember, unfortunately), and the other is under 18 months. I hope they weren’t watching.

  I’m generally very squeamish, but I didn’t think the video was that bad. Then it kept playing in my head while I was trying to sleep. I have no love lost for Charlie Kirk, but I hope those kids avoid the video for as long as possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perfection.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My husband has a visually similar body type and has a very active job. He can do ten pull ups at a stretch, which is mind blowing to me. I’ve got a bmi of 20 and I’m pretty strong for my size (I lug around cases of drinks that weigh about half as much as I do regularly), but I’m nowhere close to a single pull up.

  Even if this guy’s not a strongman, it’s possible to look like this and still be stupid strong. Just be short and carry your fat in your belly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Awooga⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We already have drugs that increase breast size, they just have the primary purpose/drawback of inducing lactation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨observes your slit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a reasonable thing to think from the way it was described in my physics class, at least. I fault people a lot less for misunderstanding something that even scientists in the field don’t really understand than for something like thinking the earth is flat.

  The apostrophe is there for “verdose”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there "headhunters" that work *for* you?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Another but:

  You’ve got to be a pretty good candidate for them to want to work with you. A friend of mine was placed by one, but she had a decade of project management experience with all the right buzzwords

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you?!?!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks and sorry, Hendrik Lorentz! I’d consider it a grave insult to be confused for Freud, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you?!?!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I only recognize Nobel (not even certain about him), Curie, Freud, and Einstein, that’s bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No title and I can't stop laughing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What does this mean? I looked up malazan yoke and got nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reginald Fried Kentucky Jr⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this edited? He looks rough, even compared to just a few months ago. His job would still be stressful, but probably much less so if he were doing a good job. Pretty ironic that he’s harming his own health through his stances on healthcare while incorrectly attributing the poor health of the Americans to their own stances toward healthcare.
