I wish men’s dress fashion (including business and business casual) was more interesting. It’s very difficult to make someone feel seen when they look like they are trying to blend in.

Suits, dress pants and button shirts with ties, boring. I mean I like the move away from formal clothing in general, but men’s formal and semi-formal clothing is boring. Idk how y’all deal with it tbh.

Wear suit skirts. Wear bright colors. Bring back lace, jewelry, funky hats. Have fun with your clothes, push the boundaries. We could do with more fun in the world.

(I am not a man, so I am powerless to influence this, other than stating an opinion, but bring back capes at least, please and thank you)

Too much life in the eyes, too much color in the skin.

Freeze it first and we’ve got a deal.

Just like a pool with a ranked vote or individuals for districts or…?

Genuinely curious how that works

I got distracted with blitz ball for many many hours and never finished the actual game.

I sleep sideways/diaginal on my bed about half the time at this point because I have a cat who likes to lay between my legs, and that only works for a short time for me. So when I move, I just lay differently so she doesn’t get up, and I’m still comfortable.

My friend has a carpeted bathroom as the main in her new house. She’s ripping it out asap.

It’s a nice purple tiled bathroom (hideous, and purple is my color) with gray carpet…

It was for a guy who lost mobility. Carpeting for anti-slip was the best bet.

Yeah, I wasn’t going to suggest that one because it’s easy to mess up and get frustrated with if you don’t know what you are doing.

I’ve tried it with no skill and uhh… heh

But then I helped wrap several race vehicles, the storm windows (with frosted glitter so it looks like frost) and my own shower (underwater world from Mario) and learned how the soapy water thing actually works.

If someone does want to try this, apply a lot of pressure. You need to squeeze all the liquid out, or any pockets will degrade quickly and fail.

Don’t therapists have -required- therapy?

Suicide scramble actually sounds fucking badass, so I’ll take it.

Test taking is a skill all its own. It shouldn’t be, but man I have slacked so many classes because I have that skill.

The best class I ever had, a course on the physics behind the functionality of renewable energy systems, the professor would give you the equation if you couldn’t remember it. You’d have to go up and talk to him, if you were really struggling, and you needed to know what you were trying to do, but he’d try to hint you through it first, then provide what you were missing. Ultimately he didn’t see students failing on dumb memory stuff as any sort of win for anyone.

As he said, despite being physics, memorizing math, and especially formulae, isn’t the point of the class.

He was my favorite. He wore white socks with soccer ball-patterned sandals every day, with dress pants and a blazer/tie combo, even winter, and rode his bike to campus. Dude was an absolute gem.

You can get vinyl adhesive-backed sheets to get this look (and many others!). You just cut and stick them.

If you go that route, apply to the glass fully, then use a razor blade to cut around the edges, else you’ll likely end up with skew or edges that don’t meet the corners. (Learned that trick from a vinyl graphics installer)

That looks just like the call center I used to work in.

So dumb that it’s ai when places like these are everywhere…

Being productive all the time is for suckers with no actual lives.

Unless you count forming and maintaining social bonds as productive, which it absolutely is, in which case your point is just straight moot.

There’s a place near me that has 75 cent tappers (like 10oz).

A soda is 1.25 for 12 oz.

It’s the beer that is cheap in this case. It’s basically sold at cost because the owner isn’t real bright and thinks the added traffic is worth only breaking even.

Oh man my chickens get aggressively excited when I find worms and throw them in the run for them. Especially those whopping night crawler bois. They do the keep-away prance with them held aloft and peck at each other about it.

I’ve decided to start vermicompost specifically to raise worms for them to nom, in addition to the cricket and mealworm tanks I’ve got going :)

Ok well that’s definitely not a “usually” situation then.

Excuse me, what?

I’ve never been anally penetrated during a gyno visit, not a single time in many many years in many different places. If you have, that’s fucking weird.

My cats always look at me when they hear something unusual.

They want to know if they should be concerned or not. If I look concerned they go investigate. If I don’t, they settle back down.

They also gladly follow me into the basement when there’s a bad storm and I rush down. Doesn’t take much convincing, they trust me very much. Won’t come when I call them any other time tho.
