  I’ve never heard of a country where places give you extra drink for free just because you asked for less ice, to be honest. I know some bartenders who joke about the people who think asking for less ice will get them more.

  Hey we’re pretty similar in regards to running! I started in May. I’m training for a 10k in May of this year.

  I even made the same frustrating experience this week! I ran 8k in 50mins on Monday. Wanted to up my pace yesterday and was so out of breath after 2k that I tasted metal. Felt like I basically had to crawl home after that.

  I googled and apparently if you do want to up your pace, you should try to run faster for only the last 10 mins or so of your run. But don’t overdo it because apparently it’s literally physiologically different within your muscles whether you run fast or far. And the changes training does are different, too: Usain Bolt at his peak wouldn’t have done very well at a marathon.

  But I, for one, am fine training endurance for now. Maybe I’ll try to up my pace at a later point in time!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dunkin' added achievements to their mobile app⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Either way, sprinting to marathon isn’t a progression. Speed and endurance are different skills with different training plans. There’s a reason they’re separate Olympic disciplines.

  Sometimes I drink so much water that I start noticing that I get thirstier the more I drink. Electrolytes are key then.

  Rationing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vibes based cooking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I had to bake by vibes one time because I started a recipe then realized I didn’t have eggs and the friend the cake was for is lactose intolerant. Used a can of coconut milk. Turned into brownies instead of chocolate cake, but they were good enough that I’ve been intentionally making them since.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't hear you⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was 16 I was on the bus, reading and with headphones on. A random grown up man wouldn’t stop talking to me and pestered me to give him my number. I felt pressured and gave him a fake number and then he said I was racist for not wanting to give him my real number (he wasn’t white). And for the longest time I believed him that I was in fact racially biased and felt bad, and only after a while realized I was just a teenage girl being pestered by an adult man and reacted naturally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon degoogles his Samsung⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t say that’s a recent development. Back before I knew anything about privacy and security, I switched from android to apple because I was tired of all the bloat. My 8 gb phone had virtually no space for photos or apps I wanted after 5 years of updates for non deletable apps. That was almost 10 years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sex!?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Very sure! Super attracted to my partner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switching teams in middle of a match!?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you :) hope it makes you happier than it would’ve made me!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switching teams in middle of a match!?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  CW assault

  Tbh I didn’t even think to pause everything to sit him down and explain what it means to be non binary. It became kinda clear from talking that he thought gender=genitals and at that point I kinda wanted out, but he was pushy and persistent and I felt unsafe to tell him about either my gender or wanting to leave. Kinda just froze, idk how else to explain it. And he intentionally stealthed me, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switching teams in middle of a match!?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Im quite happy without a gender! Couldn’t imagine being any other way. So you’d be welcome to it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switching teams in middle of a match!?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you the one who stole my gender so you could have 2 and I could have none?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switching teams in middle of a match!?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m afab nb and had a casual encounter with a straight male without explaining my gender. He was shitty about consent and I do take solace in the fact that I queered him without his knowledge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU nations agree a crackdown on migrant smugglers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The EU likes to frame being critical of it as being anti progress, but this right here is one of the reasons many leftists are critical of it, too.

  I know nobody alive today is responsible for colonialism, but we need to remember that the reason we’re wealthy is that our ancestors made these people poor and unsafe. There’s a responsibility to do better that comes with that fact.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Op Shop seems to have ordered their secondhand books by colour for some reason⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But do they actually read and watch the books and dvds? Cause my mom doesn’t read, so books are just decorations to her

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Op Shop seems to have ordered their secondhand books by colour for some reason⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My mum used to do this to my books in my room and I hated it

  Are you talking about irl Linux spaces? It that a thing? If not, how do you know there aren’t women in online Linux spaces? Fwiw I’m afab nb

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whatsapp just developed a new murder weapon⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So this is how I find out I’ve also been doing high fives wrong half the time ;_;

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whatsapp just developed a new murder weapon⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always been torn on whether it’s supposed to be a high five or praying hands. Is thank you really a common meaning?

  Emojis are pretty hard for my autistic ass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sex!?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Jokes on you, you’ll have to explain that to all your future partners

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sex!?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Imma spray you with one of those spaying water bottles

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sex!?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My demi experience: yeah sure I enjoy that. I enjoy gaming too. Either is nice to have, but if I can’t do it for a year, I won’t be thinking about it that much, ya know? I was shocked to find out how much people think about sex, and particularly shocked that they’ll see a stranger, acquaintance or friend and literally feel a desire to have sex with them? Like, how many people have imagined they’re having sex with me? Ew. Don’t do that to me.

  And here I was feeling bad for confiscating beer from 14 year olds at summer camp at 17 and then drinking it (drinking age 16).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ROFL⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can say something like nice or good one, or react to the message with an appropriate or intentionally silly emoji

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Americans always presume that everyone speaks English⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve met lots of people who seem to hold the sentiment that if THEY managed to learn English, why can’t EVERYONE ELSE?

  Sharing because I was delighted to learn this: trees are also an example of convergent evolution. I’m personally rooting for us to become trees. Pun intended.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Percentages⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought of an example or two and corrected my comment to ‘tries to’ as I was typing haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Percentages⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Im a high school maths teacher and that’s what we’re supposed to teach, % means percent, not percentage points. Maths always tries to have agreed-upon unambiguous definitions of things, precisely to avoid confusion.
