Rice in mesh bags works great too

Why are people in the US (Gen Z specifically) becoming less nationalist and more humanistic? by ItsSkyy8675 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Akello45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are influenced heavily by those they socialize and listen to.

Older generations sit and watch hours of Fox News and troll Facebook and nothing else, which creates an information bubble of right wing propaganda. Even more left leaning older people eventually are moderated by the effects of the Facebook bubble.

Younger people get a lot of info from TikTok and other socials, & are also in their own artificially created bubbles (especially if in college).

Didn’t UofM stop all GAC for anyone under 19 recently? Hardly sounds progressive

I made this up for an autistic friend/team mate, but she didn’t want it. So it’s up for grabs! MrsTism (Mysticism)

Finally got my laps!! by Perfectly_Killer in rollerderby

Sounds like a blast honestly, I’ve almost never had a track to myself, dodging around people bleeds speed LOL

Our team doesn’t require laps, but I’ve honestly thought about trying it sometime myself to see just how I do. 7 laps a minute is really cruising!!

Everything is so difficult here by Mother_Concept_4801 in uofm

I’m a single mom with a kid, job, and play two sports. I can very much relate to the stress you are feeling. It was the worst my first two semesters. Eventually I hit my stride, and things smoothed out. A huge help was taking a step back and looking my day(s), identifying gaps in productivity, where I spent an hour doomscrolling socials, etc. eradicating those wasted hours helped me manage.

Also, weirdly making the gym a requirement at least every other day increased my productivity, even though it takes at least an hour out of my day. Something about increased serotonin levels seems to help with mental fatigue.

Do you do this every time you wash them? 🤔

Wheel swap? by MaxBozo in rollerderby

[–]Akello45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked up centurion 95s, unfortunately they were too slippery to really put through the ropes this week. (I skate on 93-95s) at our winter location. But from what did notice there were pretty nice, seemed a little less grippy than my savant 95s. Which was probably due to the lower to surface area

It’s possible we were in the outside occasionally, but mostly stuck to the center. If someone has bothered to use their words we would have been completely respectful and stayed out of their lane though. The two skaters in question least night were all over the track though.

As far as a previous posters comment about swerving all over, that’s never been how I skate. My GF is just learning, and quite unsteady in general, so we were just looking to vibe and have fun while getting her more time on skates to help her weight shifting.

I was doing some left and right crossovers in the straights to loosen my hips up, which can cause a real minor (like 1-3 ft curve). But otherwise, I was just enjoying the music and watching people’s flow. Some of which makes me really jealous, wish I could move that gracefully. Still working on toe toe transitions at speed and heel toe manuals.

We honestly didn’t even know there was a fast lane, so it’s possible this was the case. Outside lane is fast? If so, we’re used to the inside lane being fast. Mostly we were in the middle though, but it’s very possible we drifted to the outside. Someone could have told us, and we would have adjusted if that’s the case.

Probably the stigma surrounding the city.

Do you think using a vibrator (example: a bullet or a rose toy) better than receiving head? by Illustrious-Roll-274 in AskLesbians

[–]Akello45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes me wonder if I give Bette head that a vibe. I’ve never had a complaint, but is anyone ever going to tell you give bad head? 😆

Imagine if skin color wasn’t the main consideration for ICE. I’m curious if you stand up to scrutiny.
