I used to get up at 5am and had to get ready for work in the dark so I didn’t wake my family. I’m a klutz and fumbling with my phone’s flashlight constantly just got annoying.

I ended up making a little script so that between 5am and 5:30, shaking the phone turned the flashlight on. After 5:30 the sensor turns off to save battery, since I didn’t really need it at that point.

You can do all kinds of handy little things like that

Had a pint of blood drawn today. I feel dizzy and heavy and very hot 😭

This right here!! Take all my updoots

He’s so cute 🥺 I love his lil plump face

The worst part in my experience was actually getting numbed. You can’t see the needle going in so a lot of people with needle phobias won’t have any problem, but for me the feeling of a needle is repulsive. After that it was smooth sailing, just a bit boring.

The pop culture reputation of dentists as literal torturers is pretty outdated. Medicine has improved a lot in a short amount of time. Just look up reviews before picking your dentist, and don’t cheap out if you can help it.

I hope not, I wanna become a corpse and fertilize some cool plants.

I usually hibernate just because I usually have several projects open at once and like to dive back in quickly. But ever since upgrading to Windows 10 a million years ago, my computer is possessed and turns itself back on, eventually goes into standby, and won’t come out without a hard reset.

In the years since I’ve neither identified and fixed the problem, nor remembered to shut down instead of hibernate. I just do hard resets a lot now.

Not the most outrageous story but I saw two guys get into a head-on collision at 10mph. I still wonder how neither of them saw it coming.

Rejection hurts but I still feel good about myself for making the first move. It reminds me I have the guts to try again with a new person.

Seeing them with someone else sucks because it reminds me I dragged my feet and didn’t even try.

When I was a kid I absolutely loved The Chronicles of Narnia and I hated The Last Battle. I thought King Tirian was an unpleasant asshole and I thought killing the Pevensies sucked because they all go to Narnia Heaven forever while Susan has to bury them.

It probably wasn’t a bad book but it felt like it ended my childhood.

Didn’t realize that. The only applications I’ve seen for it are conversation or generating media based on text input. I thought all it did was analyze text and create a response based on patterns it had observed.

I haven’t done much with it myself though so that’s probably a very limited POV.

It really depends. Both on how much I peed, and also how decent the TP is. Basically however many it takes not to saturate the TP, and not get urine/blood/mucus on my hands. Could be three, could be a ton.

I’ll use a TON more during my period, as even with a cup in, blood finds it’s way onto my skin and then the flow of the urine helps spread it to every nook and cranny.

Another thing to take into account is discharge. That definitely takes extra TP, it’s thicker and a few squares won’t hold up.

TL;DR whoever gives a consistent amount of squares is either lying or has a much nicer vagina than I do

Stealing this

At least 20 years of having slugs as a special interest and I never heard the word limaceous?? Thank you for correcting this!

Now to find out if it actually has specific academic usage and the biologists will execute me if I use it regarding slugs outside the superfamily Limacoidea.

Because that’s what it’s designed for? I’m curious what else it could be good for. A machine capable of independent, intelligent research sounds like a totally different invention entirely.

Mainly so it doesn’t nag me to make an account or download the app if I want to read something that’s been marked nsfw

There’s probably stuff that’s a lot worse in a vacuum, but tbh my dad giving me the talk about his own childhood trauma and the cycle of abuse. He concluded it by telling me to remind him of “the cycle” next time he’s raging.

Even as a kid I knew that telling a large, angry man with a belt in his hand and daddy issues, “hey, you’re acting like your father” would just make the beatings harder.

Second runner up is that apparently he convinced my brothers and sisters that I was the favorite and he never abused me like he did them. That meant they hated me and abused me too.

Third runner up is probably the hoarding or the 24/7 black mold exposure or maybe the animal hoarding, or possibly when he assaulted a woman in front of me (although technically not something he did to me)

Social media drug? Like screen addiction?

I think technological solutions can help, eg app blockers and screentime trackers, but that’s not even half the solution. You need to figure out what need you’re trying to meet with your phone, and find a low tech version. You can’t rely on tech to cure an over-reliance on tech.

Feeling nostalgic and drank a bottle of chocolate milk on my lunch break. Discovered I was lactose intolerant after I clocked back in. I was the only one covering the deli counter.

I failed at moderating a server with three of my closest friends. I’m not running a server for the entire town.
