Ah, I see now - that’s a very good point!

If you re-read what I wrote, you’ll see that’s not at all what I’m saying. Regardless I’m done with this conversation because this:
I’m sorry to be pedantic
No you’re not.
is unnecessarily rude. Have a great day.
- Comment on Always question those who are the "teachers" 2 weeks ago:
The person I was replying was “guaranteeing” that a 300lb person can lift at least 300lbs. I’m sure your father was strong but he was a professional gymnast. He’s an outlier. And genuinely, good for your dad - that’s great. But the vast majority of 300lb people aren’t super fit. They can’t all lift 300lbs and this is what I’m arguing. I’m not talking specifically about your dad, I’m replying to the other poster who was making a ridiculous generalization.
- Comment on Always question those who are the "teachers" 2 weeks ago:
I’m sorry to be pedantic, but you said:
How much do you think a 300 lb person can lift? I guarantee it’s at least 300 lbs.
And I’m telling you it’s unlikely they can lift 300lbs. Deadlift, lunge, squat. Because that weight is in addition to the body weight they’re used to carrying. And even for bench, pull-up, or chin-up, they are unlikely to be able to complete even one rep because those require upper body and core strength, which are not naturally built just by dint of being obese.
- Comment on Always question those who are the "teachers" 2 weeks ago:
I’m just saying that the average 300lb person isn’t magically super strong.
- Comment on Always question those who are the "teachers" 2 weeks ago:
Let’s see your average 300lb person do a pull-up. Or let’s see them deadlift 300lbs.
Sure their legs will be strong from carting around all that mass, but unless they’re actively strength training, that leg strength isn’t going to be as impressive as you think.
- Comment on if you're offered a position you can use to advance your career but it involves people without boundaries, do you tell your maybe-future-to-be manager you don't want to work with those people? 2 weeks ago:
You’re the nurse who couldn’t deal with extroverted coworkers and had to leave your job, right?
Respectfully, you should learn from that experience that your hardline introversion doesn’t serve you well in the workplace. Any manager will be more interested in preserving team dynamics than coddling a brittle individual. I don’t mean to be harsh but you need to learn a little flexibility or you’re going to run into the same problems again and again. You picked a people-facing career and chances are high that most of your colleagues will be on the extroverted side.
It’s fine to be introverted but you need to communicate your needs in a way that doesn’t alienate or offend your colleagues. It sounds like you want them to meet you where you are, rather than compromising somewhere in the middle. It won’t kill you to make a couple minutes of small talk, followed by a polite excuse as you remove yourself to be alone. You can even say something direct, like “I don’t mean to be rude, but I’m not huge on chitchat, and I have some studying I need to catch up on.” People prefer honesty to just being iced out.
You can’t expect them to respect your feelings and preferences if you’re not willing to do the same for theirs.

- Comment on How do i get my nails to stop stinking faster 2 weeks ago:
It’s acetone, not ammonia. The acetone needs to evaporate in order for your nail polish to set.
Your best option will be gel polish. It cures under a UV light and is completely dry and odorless once it’s cured. Depending on how quickly your nails grow, gel polish can last a decent couple/few weeks. Downside is that it’s a pain in the ass to remove and can damage your nails if they’re fragile.
You could also try press-ons. I haven’t tried them since the mid-nineties so I can’t personally speak to the quality or longevity, but they’ve had a resurgence in popularity lately which makes me think they’ve gotten much better.
If you stick to regular nail polish, you could try a few things:
- Work in thin coats - thick polish takes too long to dry.
- Quick-dry polish and/or quick-dry topcoat. A lot of people like the Seche Vite topcoat because it dries to the touch in like 5 minutes, and sets pretty well after about 2 hours. Be warned though that it often causes shrinkage, so be sure you wrap your tips and leave less of a gap around the cuticle to help reduce this.
- Use a hairdryer on warm to make your polish dry more quickly.
- Once your nails have dried to the touch, gently wash your hands (pat them dry rather than rub them with a towel).
- Pet your cats from behind so they don’t get a whiff of your nails.
