• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't like having an iPhone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I use an android phone and an iPad. iPad is all fun - movies, online shopping, duolingo, things when I’m not in a hurry and I don’t care how it looks or how long I have to look for something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm curious.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck. I work with people who are too stupid to recognize how stupid they are. It’s exhausting!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is my shampoo smelling like fruit or is my fruit tasting like shampoo?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I love cilantro. It doesn’t taste soapy to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is my shampoo smelling like fruit or is my fruit tasting like shampoo?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Why does ‘sweet Thai chili’ sauce in most restaurants taste like dishwater?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you think their spouses, children, parents, neighbors know what they do? Do they just say “it’s classified” and pretend that they have a real job?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is wrong with being "Black Pilled"?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never heard that term. I get that some people choose not to date, but don’t most people just live- go to work, grocery, social events, etc.- and talk to the people around them? I don’t really see someone saying, “hey, if that nice girl talks to me I’m going to ignore her.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can it take months to get over being laid off?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Good answer. Doc is the best answer but may be financially difficult. Some jobs offer EAP (employee assistance program) - it only gets you 3 free visits, but it is a start. Do some reading on depression. Try to find a reason to get outside each day - even if you start with a 5 minute walk and add a bit every day or two. Is there something or someone you can help? Sometimes you’ll do for others what you won’t do for yourself - a walk for the dog, a healthy meal for a spouse, …

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is flirting redundant?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Attractive is not the same as good-looking. Nice, fun people are attractive. Assholes are ugly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ask the crickets⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s how we got fahrenheit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cat door in window⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did a little browsing online and learned about cat fences and rollers. Wondering if i can just attach plexiglass to the top 2’ all the way around, so it’s too slick for then to climb. It’s a small sideyatd - about 20’ x 10’, with a brick house on one long side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US | Trump Reportedly Greenlights Plan for US Attack on Iran Without Congressional Approval⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And they never declare war. We have conflicts and situations but never war- too much paperwork.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cat door in window⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a good idea. I bet i can find pics or videos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cat door in window⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems fine. If you don’t need to see out that part of the window you could just put the flap in a piece of plywood. Check the scrap bin at Lowe’s for one that’s close to the right size. Maybe put adhesive weatherstripping around the edge to hold it in well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a mom of men, it has always concerned me that, while we were supporting our girls, we left our boys to flounder a bit. We spent so much time telling girls that they could do anything and they could be ‘just as good as the boys’ and talking to women about glass ceilings and ‘don’t let the man keep you down.’ What did we tell our boys or rather what did they hear?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know. How do you teach empathy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a sandwich is defined as any food item between two pieces of bread, then a layer cake is a type of sandwich.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my house most baked goods are eaten without a fork, one small sliver/square at a time, while standing at the counter and repeatedly saying, “I’m just going to have one small bite.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spicy food never affects my gut and everyone thinks it's really weird. How unusual is this and what could be happening to explain why spicy food doesn't affect me?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard people say that things are spicy on the way out but i don’t really understand what that means. Spicy doesn’t bother me, but greasy, smoky, and dairy kill my stomach.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. Get out on some rural roads with a friend if possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If youre bi do you have to prove it?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You never have to prove anything. You don’t have to have a label. You can just go through your day and smile at anyone you like in the moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨37 months in prison for ex-CIA analyst who leaked docs on Israeli strike⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t that what Drunk Pete did?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When you’re fancy enough to bowl in your own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are you here and not on Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Upvoting here is more “thanks for sharing” and less “i agree.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are you here and not on Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like to chat for free instead of for someone else’s profit. Also, theres a sightly higher class of BS here. And better punctuation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I shared this with a friend, who has 5-10 more years to work and i thought she would respond about retirement. Instead she said that’s how she feels as a mom to adult kids.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have 2-6 years to go. I really like the work but admin is becoming increasingly difficult to tolerate. It makes me sad to think about someone else helping my school kids because i bailed on them. Someone said you sound workaholic but it’s really just about feeling needed and productive and helpful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump golf club to host speaker who claims bleach can cure cancer and Covid⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe they’ll give out free samples to attendees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Women often take initiative on the food finding⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We find food because men -

  1- keep asking what there is to eat, and

  2-can’t find things in the panty or fridge without help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Macaroni and cheese is just nachos made with flour.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mac and green chili queso

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Turn your radio or TV up. They will get the message that if they can hear you you can hear them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is this called?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Movies or theater, where the temperature fluctuates and it sometimes gets chilly, then you can wear it if it’s cool outside afterwards and it’s not as bulky as sitting on your coat in a theater chair.
