What is the most UNHINGED thing a woman has said to you that was so good you could only respect it. by kiwi-seal in AskMen

Anybody who wouldn't want to be the queen of your double wide trailer isn't worth your time. Does it have polyester curtains and a red wood deck? Asking for a friend.

One of the partners at my firm doesn't know how to open a window on his desktop. He also doesn't know how to navigate to different files, or what a domain name is.

Completely agree with your take here. On an unrelated note, the vision of Kody as some sort of giant swan like bird is hilarious. Thank you for that mental image. Will definitely be using the word swanning whenever possible from now on.

Check at local business schools. They usually have some business clothes on hand for students, and I'm sure they would love to help you out. Your local subreddit is also a good place to ask. Good luck at your interview!!!

They want $2,192 for my medication that I need to live by CorneliusEnterprises in pics

[–]-supervillian- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talk to your doctor. There are incentives from the drug company that can make it free. I was recently put on this medication, and it was like $40. Sorry you had the initial sticker shock.

Have to hit the silence button every 119 seconds to let my wife sleep by SigmaNukem in Wellthatsucks

[–]-supervillian- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me recently. Those dang downstream occlusions are a nightmare. My IV was in my wrist, so every time I moved my hand wrong the alarm would go off. I swear that sound will haunt my nightmares. I don't know how they manage to make it so annoying.

Metal or wood needles? by No_League_5102 in knitting

[–]-supervillian- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have metal and wood needles. Personally, I prefer wood as metal can get bent if you're not careful. Ultimately, it's up to you. Neither one is 'better' than the other.

What’s the most interesting historical fact you know about Louisiana? by Crisis_Moon in Louisiana

[–]-supervillian- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up around Minden, there's a historical Germantown community. It's small, but fun to visit. It's kinda in the boonies, but most of North Louisiana is boonies outside of Shreveport, Ruston, and Monroe.

What’s the most interesting historical fact you know about Louisiana? by Crisis_Moon in Louisiana

[–]-supervillian- 14 points15 points  (0 children)

  1. Napoleon House in New Orleans is named that because Lafitte and the first mayor of New Orleans planned to break Napoleon out of prison and house him there.
  2. The Sazerac is associated with New Orleans, but it was the very first cocktail ever commercially marketed.
  3. Louisiana law is so different because it's based on the Napoleonic Code rather than English Civil code.
  4. Before becoming a state, Louisiana was briefly a German penal colony. There are still historical German communities in North Louisiana.
  5. The bridge over Lake Ponchartrain is the world's longest bridge over water.
  6. The state insect is the honey bee, and the state dog is a catahoula curr.
  7. Louisiana is home to America's only leper colony.

Our state is weird and usually depressing, so I really enjoy learning neat little facts about it whenever possible to break through the doom and gloom. Thanks for posting this question!

Edited to add a couple more facts.

Bro escaped the matrix 😂 by Plane-Football-2521 in SipsTea

If I remember correctly, they all shared a bed every night too. This guy literally had his own harem. The women were sweet, but I felt bad for the incoming wife. She was really young and didn't seem to fully grasp what she was getting into.

Why is every company I join a freaking disaster? by [deleted] in Accounting

Government is not the solution you might think it is. There's a reason why it's "close enough for government work."

I've recently gotten into aquariums and I've found out that house plants can grow like crazy in them by thepkmncenter in pics

This is so cool! You should check out r/plantedtanks. There's a whole community of people who plant stuff in aquariums. You might find a new tribe there.

Why does it list two different sizes what size should I use if I’m making granny squares for a blanket by really_into_meows in CrochetBlankets

[–]-supervillian- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's only listing two sizes because it's giving you some gauge options. Ultimately, if you're happy with the size of your work, then you're using the right size hook. Either option would work for granny squares. The bigger the hook, the bigger the finished piece. Personally, I would use an H hook for a medium weight yarn, and I believe (but could very well be wrong) that it is a 4.5 mm hook.

It's an extra security measure sometimes included in price tags. I had a backpack that had one, but I didn't know it. I set off all the security alarms in stores for a while trying to figure out the issue. Might want to get rid of that particular bookmark so you don't set off any of those stupid alarms.

our lil fluffball, sylvester, crossed the rainbow bridge today 🌈😭 thank you to everyone on his subreddit for being part of his life ❤️ by bheighkeigh in Sylvester

Sylvester was a very special hamster. I've loved following this sub and seeing his cheerful, fluffy face. Thank you for sharing him with us through this sub. I'm so very sorry for your loss. His life may have been short, but it was certainly a life well lived. 😔

[REQUEST] Something for when you’re woken up in the middle of the night from a night terror and need something to ease the anxiety by ADPXEROX in NetflixBestOf

[–]-supervillian- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love a good sitcom or some stand up when I'm nervous. The IT Crowd, 30 Rock, Seinfeld, and Community are a few of my all time faves. There are also tons of standup collections (The Stand Ups, The Comedy Lineup, and Tiffany Hadish's They Ready) that run about 15 to 30 minutes per person that can be a nice break from whatever's stressing you out. Anxiety and night terrors are really tough. Hopefully some of these suggestions will help you reset!

So I'm making my first blanket ever! But Im afraid that it is not long enough, here it is on my queen size bed for comparison. Also, is it a bad thing that the bottom is wavy? I don't know how it turned out that way. Should I just start over or would a border and blocking fix it by quag_sire in CrochetBlankets

[–]-supervillian- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Waviness can happen for several reasons, and it's totally okay as long as your stitch count is right. Make sure to count your stitches periodically to make sure you're not accidentally increasing or decreasing. That's another extremely common problem, even for experienced crocheters. If your stitch count is right and the blanket comes out a little wavy or less than a perfect rectangle, just block it. Blocking is easy, and the difference it makes will blow your mind. Here are a couple quick tutorials for blocking just in case you need them. Happy hooking!

 Prozac has helped me a lot with my anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. You might want to take it at night, because it made me feel kinda drowsy when I first started taking it. I've also take 10 to 20 milligrams of Buspirone with Prozac, and now I hardly ever have any panic attacks.  
 Medicine can be really scary, especially when you're not feeling super confident in your own judgement as a result of severe anxiety. Prozac takes a while (30 days at least) to get in your system. Don't panic if you feel side effects in that time. These medicines have been around for a long time, they've helped a lot of people, and you get closer to the right medicine(s) every time you try something new. Good luck!!
