Annnnnny day now…

I’m from NJ and these are all different sounds to me. This short shows the difference: https://youtube.com/shorts/S3EaMZUXQYs

These fucking pieces of shit are a disgrace. Name and shame and make their lives unlivable.

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.

Please give him a smooch on his noggin for me! Such a handsome brindleboi

D’oh!

Are you gonna just leave us hanging? Make with the link!

I wonder if we’d find his work funny today.

He took a midnight train going anywhere

Prior to HRT, I found these pretty helpful. They do take about an hour to kick in.

But when I started progesterone I stopped using the gummies. Progesterone also takes about an hour to kick in for me. I usually take them at 9 so I’m falling asleep around 10.

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.

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.

I’m just saying that the average 300lb person isn’t magically super strong.

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.

Oh. My. God. I want a christmas skull!!!

Honestly I’m baffled the Dems are attempting to have a backbone too. Here’s hoping they’ve finally graduated from whiffle ball to tee-ball.

Yeah, filler migration causes a weird shelf:

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.

Jesus. That’s medical neglect :(
