If you would rather invest in a quality whistle for the one that goes in your own mouth, I recommend an ACME Thunderer.
As used by gym teachers and drum majors, (not Wile E. Coyote) they have a satisfying roll of authority.

I am legitimately a little old lady.
But if they can see my face I say “Sorry” or “Thank you” and make the appropriate grimace.
- Comment on How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving? 4 days ago:
I’ve mostly seen the double-flick of lights to mean either “Go ahead, make your move, I see you and I won’t hit you” (to pedestrians or someone waiting to turn into/out of a driveway in heavy traffic) or “turn on your lights you idiot, it’s pouring rain.” But it’s always heavy traffic in Southern California, and it never rains, but man, it pours.

If you mean that the way I think, in Los Angeles when you’re going to make a left turn at a light without a red arrow, AND there’s enough clear road ahead on your left for you to turn into, you’re expected to “post up” into the intersection while you wait for opposing traffic to clear. Which often it never does until the light turns yellow, or even red. Then you’re expected to make your turn on the red, and the car behind you is allowed to follow you if they’ve got their front wheels over the line into the intersection. The cross traffic has to wait until you’ve cleared the box. “Two cars on a red.” Of course if it’s an especially large intersection, it’s possible for the first car and second car to post up so far that a third car can get those wheels over, and all three can make their escape from the box after the light changes. But the cross traffic considers this rude.

- Comment on If I'm struggling with depression, I get ostracized as a "loser" that haven't accomplished anything but if I die in a tragic accident tonight, I'm a "young man with a bright future ahead" 2 weeks ago:
Often they’re sad he didn’t realize he had a bright future ahead. Fortunately, you do. Or if you didn’t, you do now. You can’t judge your life by how it is now. Especially with the world in shitty shape generally. But mostly because you’re young. Regrets for your wasted promise are a privilege reserved for old farts like myself. You still have choices to make, and time for them to play out Choose as well as you can. And don’t be afraid to change directions as necessary.

I was raised going to UCC churches, it was standard practice at all of them. Many also used King’s Hawaiian Bread for Communion.
And they’re one of the LGBTQ-friendliest denominations, although because they’re non-hierarchical the individual churches vary. You can see if there’s one near you.
- Comment on dating 3 weeks ago:
It’s sad things like this that make me think, it’s too bad church is all fucked up with religion. Because “Entire families, plus any single individuals, get washed and dressed up, then join under the stained-glass windows to sit and stand and sing and go through the motions, while all the eligible sweeties pretend they’re not checking out all the other eligible sweeties, and have a whole hour to think of something to say to them over the coffee and cookies afterwards. Repeat weekly” is pretty much how a lot of people found partners for generations. Especially those whose families couldn’t afford ballrooms and country clubs.

Have you considered the possibility Dad ASKED each person how many peps they wanted before he started cutting? Or he gives the kids peps according to their ages?
- Comment on What a great idea 3 weeks ago:
It’s less random people and more likely people who live in the same building or whose kids are on the same team/at the same school etc. I don’t want to be expected to converse, and I don’t like when others do it.

Could we ban conversation between cart-holders? Two people shopping together, same cart same list, is fine. But anything beyond “Hi, nice to see you” between two carts clogs the aisles

Hold onto the anger, it will keep you alive. Find a professional to help you learn how to navigate the normie world, because your parents clearly won’t. Find your success in your own terms.

- Comment on Butter 3 weeks ago:
I think it’s more like 4-5 pancakes. Pancakes spread on each bottom as you cook/flip them, so there’s a narrower “waist” that can make one seem like two in a stack. It’s still a reasonable amount of butter, and I’d use more because I’m not fond of syrup.

- Comment on Why do we have shampoo, conditioner, and body wash soaps? 4 weeks ago:
Scalp is skin so any wash that’s safe for one is okay for the other. Hair is a different beast entirely. The ends of long hair are much older than the cells on your skin, and they need moisture plus detangling. However if you have very short hair the damage done by using a cheap 3 in 1 product will be cut off before it becomes noticeable.

It sounds like fun but having gone through it for a couple of years, it’s not. There’s times of abstinence and times when it’s all about impregnation, not spontaneity or fun. She’s constantly watching her cycle, and every period is extra depressing. And that’s not counting any infertility treatments like hormones fucking with emotions. Our now-adult offspring are amazing and I’m glad we did it, but it wasn’t just “fuck a lot.”

Look into freezing sperm now while you’re young and it’s squirmy and spermy and healthy. Then you can get the snip (or the no-snip method) and when you do want kids you won’t be ruining your sex life with scheduled sessions. She can get inseminated when the ultrasound shows an ovum is waiting and it’ll have a better chance of conception. Go in with her if you can and she’s comfortable with that. Just as you will for the birth.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
The woman should be ABLE and ALLOWED to protect herself against pregnancy, yes, but the responsibility isn’t all hers. Every unwanted pregnancy starts with sperm. Her ovum was just sitting there, innocently drifting down the fallopian tube, staying inside her body.
Any man who doesn’t accept his full responsibility for preventing pregnancy, or for the consequences of a pregnancy occurring, is a shit.
Female-centered methods that are invasive like IUDs or rely on hormones like the Pill have common side effects like intense pain, personality changes, increased stroke and heart attack risk. The only reason women tolerate them is because the consequences of pregnancy are higher for them. The side effects of vasectomy are temporary pain and bruising, and sperm granuloma. Sperm quality diminishes quite slowly and sperm can be frozen beforehand, so it’s still possible to father a wanted child.
