It’s honestly wild the difference in caloric requirements based on age and sex/gender (I don’t know how much is due to size/hormones, so I don’t know where trans people’s requirements would be) even before factoring in activity level, so it’s entirely reasonable not to realize the difference.

And 2100 kcal per day is not safe or sustainable for almost anyone that exercises regularly.
I’m a woman with a relatively large frame (~65kg/180cm) who used to do 14 hours of hard cardio a week. At that time, my recommendation was 2250, the first time in my life it had exceeded 2k. For smaller women, the recommendation is sometimes much lower. My stepsister is about 45kg and 155cm tall and her calculated daily calorie burn is like 1300. My ex boyfriend’s mom was told not to go over 1.2k, which I thought was the lower limit for humans generally- things are different when you’re a short, post-menopausal woman.
All that is to say, it’s probably an average of 2100 calories, spread between people who need on average 1400-1800 calories and those who need 2000-2400

These are all almost names in the same way. It makes me wonder if they’re variants in a language I’ve never seen before or (imo more likely) someone prompted ai for women’s usernames and it got confused by the cutesy ways people used to augment their names for usernames.

For example, I can’t think of any tuber that could sneak into a fruit salad unnoticed.
It’s not whole, but I can definitely imagine tapioca being used to thicken the juice for a fruit salad, and that comes from cassava, a tuber.

I’m like this at work, but I have great (distant) relationships with my coworkers. I also work like a dog because I enjoy it, so that might have something to do with it.
I will grant you, I do greet people on my own and ask after their families/health if it’s been a long time or if they was something going on. That’s because I’m trying to be polite but not friendly and it works beautifully.

Dicks are normally more visible when aroused, but vaginas sometimes make it look like you’ve pissed yourself. Appearance aside, wet underwear is pretty uncomfortable and can lead to skin irritations. As to why the place that gets wet is the same place that grows coarse hair and slightly moves whenever you walk? Curse of Eve, I guess.
It might just be that the grass is greener, but I’d prefer to tuck an erection into my waistband than deal with soaked underwear. Absolutely no envy about balls though, they seem very uncomfortable all around.

I’m normally the one in my house trying to get rid of things, but keep those (and/or send them to me, lol).

It’s very much like height, where it’s correlated, but not restricted to people with lots of testosterone (more relevant than having a dick). And it really sucks being Trijntje Keever.
- Comment on Horny🧠 4 days ago:
That’s one of the reasons I’m worried about transitioning. I’m already horny more frequently and intensely than any dude I’ve ever dated. Adding more testosterone to the mix sounds like a bad idea

I mean, you at least should be reimbursed for the costs of returning it to the store (bus fare/gas, and an hour of your time), and it’s probably not worth it to anyone to sue them for it, but I really wish someone would

Just fyi, a biased judge could hold you to even the tiniest loophole the company might find if you send them terms that you define without their input. Still totally do it (IANAL), but you might want to either use boilerplate language whose implications you fully understand or run it by a lawyer.

Capillary action doesn’t happen without surface tension, so long stemmed woody plants are out. Iirc, mushrooms were not super common before trees and spread by decomposing them, so those are gone too

Trees wouldn’t exist, so life would definitely look different.

They all are, once, unless people are selling unsealed jarred goods. I don’t remember what it was exactly, but it would have been something I used when cooking breakfast, so maybe salsa.
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 2 weeks ago:
Yep, I was PISSED. I can’t even eat pork and was just being a good houseguest the morning after a party, and then suddenly had to clean up a bunch of shattered glass and pork fat in someone else’s kitchen.
Canning jars are made to withstand temperature changes though.
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 2 weeks ago:
I pour when it’s hot to the touch, but not unpleasant, so probably around 50-60 C
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 2 weeks ago:
It won’t necessarily shatter it, but it absolutely can. I’ve done it with a jar I had washed the original product out of shortly beforehand. Just because it’s never happened to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 2 weeks ago:
It depends on where you’re from, glass jars/drinking glasses in Germany don’t shatter from thermal shock, but they do in the US.
I reflexively yelled at my boss once because he poured recently boiling water out of a glass and turned the cold faucet on to rinse it out while scrubbing, and I thought he was about to cut the shit out of his hand. He got contemplative for a moment and then said that he had forgotten that that used to happen in Afghanistan (where he was from), but it doesn’t happen in Germany.

- Comment on Welcome to the Labour police state 2 weeks ago:
Yes, it’s more sporadic in Germany, but because it’s less of a police state, they sometimes have to get creative. I don’t disagree that the US is measurably worse in basically all categories, but Germany’s not exactly good. It just goes to show that all cops are bastards.

I have tried it, but also not had any luck. I am looking for research, but it’s still a really narrow field, tbh. Even in Germany, I think there are only a handful of DaF/aZ postgrad programs.
