- Comment on Who is the world's foremost expert on human nervous system and relaxation? 3 hours ago:
It’s me. But I ain’t talking’. Sorry.
- Comment on "Can i ask you for a favor?" Is it rude to say no? 6 hours ago:
“I’m sorry but I really don’t have the bandwidth right now.”
- Comment on Only $50? 6 hours ago:
I always wanted a sofa full of genetic material to let me clone someone.
- Comment on NOOOOOOO 8 hours ago:
People who use their phone on the toilet are gross to me. I put in wireless earbuds and listen to a podcast. Preferably one without ads so I don’t have to touch them until after I’ve washed my hands.
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 1 day ago:
The point is to punish, not to protect. Fatasses can punish just fine.
- Comment on Technichally-wrong community. Here here, peepostin' lyka pro 1 day ago:
I’m bi-polar. I don’t suffer manic episodes anymore (it levels out with age, as far as I can tell), but when I was awake for four days, forgetting to drink water, my pee turned a dark and sickly, cloudy yellow. And it smelled awful. I don’t miss it.

- Comment on Do you care about up/down votes? 2 days ago:
Only when I’m checking to see what I said before someone replied. Otherwise, I never check.
- Comment on Looking for the perfect 5 year anniversary gift? 2 days ago:
Noted. In two years, I will buy many knives. She’s gonna love it.
- Comment on Looking for the perfect 5 year anniversary gift? 2 days ago:
But with such nice, shiny knives. They look new. Where’d you get them?
- Comment on Why do so many people delete their posts? 3 days ago:
I assume because they didn’t stand by their comment or made a mistake. I misread a title on a post an hour ago. Rather than delete it, I edited and stated the mistake and put strikethrough on the text. I don’t delete the record; I amend it.
- Comment on Is it normal that I have this inner conflict of not knowing where I belong? 3 days ago:
I would relay recent dreams but I take a prescribed sleeping pill and that makes me not remember them.
- Comment on Is it normal that I have this inner conflict of not knowing where I belong? 3 days ago:
We’re not all that great. I mean, yes it’s a great place to do a road trip and there are some absolutely stunning aspects of nature to explore. But our culture is brain dead at this point. I love my corner of the country (SF Bay Area) but I hate that it’s connected to the states that vote against our interests because they’ve been so successfully manipulated by culture war and captured by religion.
I would have moved to New Zealand after our last election, as I’d planned to since finding out how awful so many of our citizens are during the pan years. It’s only that I unexpectedly found a partner and we started living together that I stayed. She’s a refugee because she was persecuted in her homeland for advocating democracy. As such, she couldn’t go with me to NZ. So now I try to ignore how shitty we are as a people and try to focus on the people near me. We’re going out to dinner tonight at one of my favorite restaurants. Hooray! (We have an embarrassment of riches in terms of food options in the Bay Area.)
Disclaimer: we don’t sound very similar. I would never own a truck or guns or go to a gun range and I hate country music. There’s a McDonald’s across from our building and I mock people who wait in line at the drive through on weekends because I think Burger King is far superior. What I’m saying is that I might not be the right person to advise you about the USA.
Good luck!

You know what? I’m convinced. Flawless logic.

Agreed. Anger isn’t useful. Action is.
- Comment on My brain is acting like a junkie who hasn't had their anger fix 5 days ago:
A coworker told me that I had “righteous indignation” about twenty years ago. It’s still true.

Yep.

I had to explain it to my ESL partner. “It’s like if he had a gun but kicked their ass with his fists.”

Since the announcement thread is locked, thanks to the admins for their hard work.
- Comment on How do you gently tell someone you only want to keep seeing them if it's on a dating level? 6 days ago:
I’ve been in the same position. Let her know that it’s too emotionally challenging maintaining a friendship due to your strong feelings. Be prepared to end all contact to protect yourself.
- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 6 days ago:
You’re fine. Your mom has legitimate pain but she’s no right to pressure you to end your relationship with your dad.
- Comment on How does HTML actually run on a computer? 6 days ago:
Is your HTML running? You’d better go catch it.
- Comment on Pull to enter, you say? 6 days ago:
But how do I get in?
- Comment on Too bad we can't all act like this 6 days ago:
I can shorten that for you: I think about others.
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 6 days ago:
Yes. I found myself removing the case to my iPhone 1.0 to show off the form factor over and over and decided to ditch it. Haven’t used a case since.
