The chlorophyll I get is mostly wheatgrass juice. It’s really good at eliminating fish, onion, or garlic breath/burps. Basically anything sulphur-y. It’s nasty as hell, tastes like dirt, but one small shot gets rid of whatever is bugging me and I think it’s totally worth it.
No idea if it has “health benefits” besides y’know…consuming greens.
Hahaha you should see the outage map of Washington State.
What do I like to do? Nothing, I hate power outages.
What I typically do is I have a large stockpile of candles from an old MLM scheme. I light those and play on my phone if there’s Internet. We have multiple battery banks for these occasions.
If there’s no Internet I will read. Both ebooks and regular books because my attention will shift.
I also try to do something productive like study for something.
Most of all I pile like eleventy billion blankets on the bed because I’m so cold. The furry ones are poor space heaters.
When I was a kid we always played games. Like charades or something. My dad would light the camp stove and we’d entertain ourselves for the evening as a family. They were nice.
Yep.
Hello traumatic memory I had been successfully repressing.
Ditto. Hated them as a kid, then as a young adult I could tolerate them cooked, now I could eat them raw (on/in something). Tastes change, man.
Same thing with mushrooms and mustard.
Not necessarily about fresh snow. Old snow packs down into hard, slick ice and sometimes fresh snow gives you way more traction. Depends on the temperature.
I’ve been to two. One was very small and one was in a giant stadium. I went because I wanted to hear the local politician talk in the first one. The stadium one I was kinda dragged to but I didn’t mind, it was a Bernie rally.
Yeah … I’m sorry. It doesn’t get any easier. Over time you get beaten down and don’t have the luxury of putting energy into being angry about it. Like, your rage is on a low simmer on the back burner.
Men are blissfully unaware of what pain they cause and what privilege they enjoy and anytime you try to bring up women’s issues they scream “not all men”. Because yes it isn’t all men but we’re not talking about those men in the first place.
Talking about it here is likely to gain negative attention so I understand you’re venting but they’re not going to listen. It’s not impacting anyone. And it’s dangerous because while Lemmy is safer than reddit, you could still piss off the wrong person who might go after you. I’m sorry. There’s very little justice.
I hear and acknowledge your pain.
This sounded like an ominous privacy warning lol!
My kitty is soft and cuddly.
Everything changed. You’re not crazy. If you watch movies made before the 2000s about office culture, including the movie 9 to 5, you can see that the hours included a lunch break. Which was paid.
Yes, those of the older generation had it easier in every way.
The plan was we were all going to meet at the mall and see a movie, then spend the night at Jennifer’s house. Jennifer, two other friends, and me. Well, I was also friends with Becky and wanted her to come to just the movie part, which she was fine with.
So I tell Jennifer, and even though she barely knows Becky, she flips out and says she can’t come to MY birthday. I got upset and started pushing back but then she uninvited me to my own birthday party.
They had the whole thing without me. Movie, slumber party, cake, presents, whole 9 yards. I spent the whole thing alone in my room. My neglectful parents didn’t even do anything for me.
28 years later and it still hurts.
It never occurred to me before this question but Fossilesque is cool as hell.
Yes. Wigs are sweltering hot, sweaty, and itchy. I’ve only worn synthetic though, but I’ve heard human hair wigs are better but not by much.
You can get used to it or suffer through depending on how sensitive you are.
Depending on the balding pattern she may tolerate toppers and other hair pieces rather than a full wig.
We’ve used kwikset dumb locks (no app) and never had one fail. We only had to change the batteries once and that was because I was paranoid that it had been 3 years, not because the batteries were dying. When it fails it is supposed to fail “locked” but again, we’ve never had it fail. We did discover to use the good name brand batteries though.
Don’t get me wrong, we still have keys just in case, but holy crap the freedom of mind is great. My partner has severe anxiety and used to check the locks 6+ times a day but it auto locks now and they don’t have to worry about it. I think they only check now before bed.
This is why we got keypads. Never getting locked out because of the I-thought-you-had-them or any other reason.
You should see his civil war ghost too. I fucking lost it. https://youtu.be/FAZJVkelgcg?si=z-DPAAzGvtYd0phB
Look, it was the 80s/90s. We had one TV. My parents were not going to watch kid shit during their down time so we watched whatever they felt like watching. Thus, I have too many to list here.
But for context apparently Alien and Aliens made me squeaky and giggly/happy as a baby. To this day I sometimes have bizarrely detailed dreams with xenomorph subplots.
Whaaaaa? That’s crazy. I use to read it on the reg years ago but fell off long before the June exodus. Has this always been the case? I feel like this maybe wasn’t the case back in the heydey (Tree Law!) but IANAL and was there for the entertainment.
The fern room at the Como Zoo Conservatory in St. Paul, Minnesota. Just brief walkthrough a few times but I wish I could live there.
I did the thing and got a tattoo of something special between me and my spouse.
Now ex-spouse.
Am currently getting laser tattoo removal to lighten it enough for a cover up.
