Oh yeah I do that already!
- Comment on And my premature ejaculation is the shortcoming!? 21 hours ago:
People keep saying this exact shit like ‘shitpost’ is synonymous with ‘anything goes and shall not be criticised’
- Comment on Getting in on the library craze with the Reading Rainbow guy 21 hours ago:
The only thing in the way is my astounding lack of object permanence
- Comment on Getting in on the library craze with the Reading Rainbow guy 21 hours ago:
I wish, I struggle to keep focus if I don’t physically turn the page
- Comment on Getting in on the library craze with the Reading Rainbow guy 22 hours ago:
Ugh but books are just about the main thing I’m consumerist about. I WANT to have them in my home indefinitely. I want to be reminded a specific title exists by seeing it on the shelf, and then reread it. And I want to underline or comment on my favourite passages in pencil. They’re the one non-necessity I’ll keep splurging on; pretty much everything else is handed down, borrowed, or necessary to some extent.
- Comment on I dunno 1 day ago:
Interesting! Nobody at my institute is a native English speaker. They’re from several European and some Asian and south American countries.
- Comment on I dunno 1 day ago:
I’m a theoretical physics grad student and a night school maths teacher, I have never heard this distinction. People in academia around me call them round and square brackets.

Gay is when you have a girlfriend. So regardless of if you’re straight, lesbian, bi, pan, etc., if you have a girlfriend, you’re gay. If you have a boyfriend, nb partner, or no partner, you’re straight. Poly people are gay as soon as they date at least one person who they use the term girlfriend for. If you’re a middle aged woman who refers to her female friends as girlfriends, guess what, gay. Hope this helps
- Comment on Stretch marks 2 days ago:
I’ve seen and heard both men and women bring up their own stretch marks, but I’ve almost* never seen or heard anyone of any gender bring up someone else’s. And I have stretch marks, and have been seen naked by several people of various genders.
*the one exception I’ve seen is as part of a list of reasons husbands have given for why they find their wives unattractive post pregnancy. And that was maybe twice and in anonymous comments.

Find out what your hair ‘needs’. Is it dry and kinda straw like? Are the tips frayed? Does it poof up? Does it frizz, ie are there many stray hairs flying around?
In general though, hydrating shampoo helps with growing out unless you have suuuuper oily hair, in which case you should use a clarifying shampoo, but only rub it onto your scalp.
- Comment on The less complicated life of a male 3 days ago:
Even literally just using the right shampoo as opposed to something like body wash can make a big difference, in case you’re interested
- Comment on The less complicated life of a male 3 days ago:
From experience, I can tell you this is actually short haired vs long haired people. You can’t really grow out your hair without the ends going to shit if you mistreat it.
- Comment on Had to look this up 1 week ago:
And to be fair, not all of those are equally bad. Seamus Finnagan and Anthony Goldstein could very well be real people. The other two are so much worse, especially now that you’ve made me realise the slavery connection.
- Comment on Ahh, my good friend water pressure. 1 week ago:
Right, sorry, I kinda assumed the US had good tap water (except that one town), so people there would fill their bottles at sinks, too
- Comment on Ahh, my good friend water pressure. 1 week ago:
Like a sink?
- Comment on Ahh, my good friend water pressure. 1 week ago:
Btw I’ve always wondered. What’s up with those fountain things? Do Americans not carry water bottles?
- Comment on poor 1 week ago:
Meh, having tried high sex before, I honestly prefer low sex.

Hair darkens with age in most people, no?
- Comment on Hotard 2 weeks ago:
Personally dislike these performative overly pc terms. Call me an aspie slut or sth
- Comment on Oh, that's... umm.... 2 weeks ago:
‘investigating claims’ isn’t exactly saying theres clear evidence it happened. I’m not at all saying it didn’t. Does anyone have a better source?
- Comment on Become unrecognizable 2 weeks ago:
Can confirm, have takeny concerta, skipped most of it to look for the joke and only read the second from last one properly. Efficient humor consumption.
- Comment on Become unrecognizable 2 weeks ago:
There’s two possibilities here: either you were already getting proper hydration from food (fruit, vegetables, soups, stews etc all have a bunch of water), or you weren’t getting proper hydration from drinking water. The latter could be because you lack electrolytes (you can buy em as a powder and add to your water), or you weren’t spacing out your drinking properly. You can only absorb so much water at once (about 250ml every quarter hour at most). Sipping slowly all day is key, chugging a lot at once isn’t going to benefit you much(unless you’re trying to fight a urinary tract issue like kidney stones or sometimes a UTI).
- Comment on eleven 2 weeks ago:
Interestingly enough, I’m 80% sure, because it was a weekday, and I sat in the exact same spot for all of high school. The 20% are for the possibility I was sick, in the bathroom, or had a special class I had to leave our classroom for.
- Comment on Let a 10 year old boy make a shirt 2 weeks ago:
My favourite are little kids, who can barely read, but whose parents definitely can. Taking note of the shirts was one of my favourite things about summer camp. They were all like ‘horses! pink!’ or ‘summer, sun, flowers’ or ‘dinosaur pirates’ or other nonsensical collections of vaguely related words.
- Comment on Contents of Queen's Purse 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, this is how you know it’s fake. She’s the type for a pre-PP Walther. She’d also carry it in a case, because that’s what gun owners in Europe generally do. Also, there’s no reason for her to carry the coke, it’s served on a silver platter on demand.
- Comment on do no harm 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, and on a scale of 1-10, that integer overflows to 10.
- Comment on Elon Musk has an h-index. 3 weeks ago:
Well that is a nice illustration for the fact that listing an h index with no context doesn’t mean much.
- Comment on Twinkle twinkle little star 3 weeks ago:
Some of them might, a lot of them won’t. But most of them would be happier if personal freedom of expression weren’t at direct odds with professional fulfilment. Just like, yano, human beings in general.
- Comment on Twinkle twinkle little star 3 weeks ago:
Girls want to be able to choose how to look. Femininity often causes people in the sciences (and other places too) to take you less seriously. So, there’s negative consequences to choosing to look pretty, making it less of a free choice.

Huh, this is how I learn mall Santas exist outside north America.
