Man, we gotta pump those numbers up. Get our bite force on the next level.

One of ours gets stuck on the 3 different sets of measuring cups. Why do we have 3 full sets? No one knows!

And I had horrific, untreated anxiety and depression. Fun!
- Comment on Vinegar 1 month ago:
The vinegar situation where I am atm has kind of made me more depressed? Some of it is straight up ass, and the salt & vinegar chips have been pretty terrible across the board. I love vinegar, too, so I’m very sad. Maybe the vinegar has to taste good to work.
- Comment on Why do I feel sick every time I go out to eat with my gf? 1 month ago:
Maybe she’s poisoning you just a tiny bit at a time. Kidding, but have you guys eaten a meal at home together without you feeling sick?

Well in that case, can Kevin sleep with me?

It’s almost 9pm where I am and there’s no sign of it. Jesus better hurry his ass up if he wants to be on time.
- Comment on Is assasin's creed origins good? 2 months ago:
I enjoyed it. It’s definitely a different feel than previous AC games, so if you go in hoping for that, you might be disappointed. I think it’s definitely worth checking out, especially if you can get it on sale.
- Comment on Francis Ford Coppola: ‘Megalopolis’ cast purposefully includes ‘canceled’ actors 2 months ago:
Christ he’s insufferable. Casting abusers and assholes isn’t edgy or interesting, it’s just obnoxious. Then again, everything I’ve heard about this movie seems like Coppola was too busy sniffing his own farts to make something people might actually want to watch.
- Comment on children 2 months ago:
Yeah, my teachers would’ve been pretty concerned if I couldn’t spell July in 4th grade (instead they were like, “she’s super book smart but holy shit she has zero social skills,” on all my report cards). But I guess you never know what else was going on. I have a friend with a learning disability who is smart but still can’t spell even as an adult. Some of my other friends are way smarter than me and spelling just isn’t their strong suit for whatever reason.

Yes but the post title is what I was responding to.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
No kidding. I’m apparently the only person who has ever had an amicable divorce where we just realized we weren’t compatible and never felt the need to bash each other. The post-divorce crowd can be pretty dire. They should mandate a certain number of therapy sessions before you can sign up for a dating app.
- Comment on How does renouncing citizenship work? 3 months ago:
It’s $2350 to renounce, not $10k.
- Comment on How does renouncing citizenship work? 3 months ago:
Yeah you didn’t remember correctly at all. The fee to renounce citizenship is ~$2300 for everyone. For the IRS piece, you file a final tax return the year you renounce citizenship, and they check to see if you’ve been compliant and paid everything you owe for the previous 5 years, but the exit tax only kicks in if you’re worth over $2 million, paid an average of a shitload of taxes (like more than twice the US median household income, so most people aren’t going to qualify) over the previous 5 years, or don’t certify that you’re in compliance. IF you have a lot of money, they treat it as though you’ve sold everything you own and calculate what that would be worth, deduct $821,000 (as of last year), then tax the rest of the amount they calculated. Then you’re done, unless you happen to have US income after that.

Yeah, but what about what the rest of us deserve? It’s so awful.
- Comment on Kids and their computers these days. 3 months ago:
Honestly, sounds like my dog. She would throw pretty much any other dog under the bus, especially the ones with the gall to approach her fence.
- Comment on dumbass 3 months ago:
I really hope he just has the worst injector in the world and this isn’t permanent. If it’s a face lift, it’s what he deserves, but I’m not sure the rest of us should have to look at him like that forever.
- Comment on Kids and their computers these days. 3 months ago:
This truck is on to something. I asked my dog if she put a nano chip on my body and she said no, but it sounds like something the huskies next door would do.

I’d love to be judgemental about this, but I’d absolutely be in that 25% of women who did it too.

If it’s in the Caribbean like another commenter mentioned, it may not be USD. XCD to USD is $2.70 to $1.
- Comment on Never believe the hype. 3 months ago:
One of my coworkers just retired and they said she’d never missed a day in 47 years and I had the same reaction. Like, sorry, unless she’s secretly immortal, no fucking way did she go her entire adult life without getting sick even once, so thanks for bringing all your germs in, I guess. Hope the single sentence in the employee newsletter most people don’t read was worth it.

She was 16 or 17, so you’re not far off.
- Comment on Emma Roberts says internet culture doomed Madame Web 4 months ago:
Emma Roberts is a domestic abuser (on top of being one of the less talented nepo babies), so I really don’t give a shit what she thinks about anything.
- Comment on Emma Roberts says internet culture doomed Madame Web 4 months ago:
From what I’ve heard, mostly Dakota Johnson’s lack of talent and charisma with a side of mediocre writing.
- Comment on Ironing 4 months ago:
I leave the whole thing set up in the guest room so I don’t have to mess with it, and I’m a woman, so most of my dressier tops are less complicated than a men’s button-down. I plug it in, wash my face, and it’s ready to go, and it really is only about 2 minutes to actually iron. Maybe twice that if it’s a particularly finicky fabric (which I’m slowly eliminating from my wardrobe).
- Comment on Ironing 4 months ago:
Man, I iron all the time. I’m not like, ironing underwear like a crazy person, but I have a lot of shirts that would be straight up unacceptable to wear to work without it. It takes like 2 minutes.
- Comment on The fine art of negotiation 4 months ago:
It’s definitely way less work. If you get hired for an hour, you’re pretty much expected to be fully engaged in, if not sex, then at least being entertaining in someway. With the type of sex work she did, she was never getting paid for time spent sleeping or eating (and definitely not hanging out and shopping), unless that was someone’s kink, I guess. I had a series of sugar daddies in my early 20s, and don’t let anyone tell you that’s not sex work, and I definitely made less per hour than a more traditional prostitute, but I also put in a lot less energy. Plus, it came with a lot more perks.

Coffee, hash browns, eggs. Then I spend my remaining money on hot sauce or green chile.
