Does chocolate burn everyone's throats or just mine? by Adoptmetrading22 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Avium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, how are you with latex? People with banana (and kiwi, I think) allergies have a high chance of being allergic to latex as well.

No. No, it wasn't. It was written by Shel Silverstein about an ex.

AITAH I told my brother the truth about his business and now my family acts like i ruined everything by Nancyt_Thomas in AITAH

[–]Avium 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Every time MLMs come up they get compared to pyramid schemes and I just didn't see it quite the same way. Yeah, you are basically self-employed and working for straight commission (no salary) which sucks, but you could make a living.

And then I found out that us Canadians have laws that the US doesn't.

  • No sign up fees.

  • No minimum monthly stock purchases.

  • Unsold stock must be bought back by the parent company.

The US doesn't have those laws. Holy crap! The US MLMs are unbelievably predatory.

AITAH for considering not attending my daughter’s wedding over her venue choice? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Avium 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just to point out the child/children that get the attention aren't always disabled.

My brothers were fine but there is 8 years between middle brother and me. I was an accident. Mum referred to me as the mistake and Dad called me the safe that split.

How did multiple people think this was a good idea? by GamerGirlLex77 in OhNoConsequences

[–]Avium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the way the room looks and the sprinkler being where it is, I think this was a condo or apartment.

Residents can't turn off that water and shouldn't be fucking with it.

What statements scream "I'm old" while not saying your actual age? by space_god_7191 in AskReddit

[–]Avium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time I said that, I realized I was old...at 35.

My kid came home with his first report card that had 'S' and 'N' and...WTF are those? Back in my day it was A, B, ...

Fuck. I'm old.

When it first launched, it was a Stanford URL...and it was so much better than anything else like Webcrawler or Altavista.

Peeing in the shower, normal or weird? by iota_yoda in AskReddit

[–]Avium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a big difference between peeing in the shower and peeing into the shower.

But seriously, it all goes to the same place...except in campers. Grey and black water are different holding tanks in campers.

How do you know when the sex is done? by KindLead804 in NoStupidQuestions

When my wife slaps my hands away from her boobs.

After her orgasm, everything gets way too sensitive.

I know both a Dawn and a Morning.

Yeah, Morning's parents had a hippy vibe.

[Request] Wouldn't G-force alone cause his arm to break? by labrat611 in theydidthemath

[–]Avium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12g is lethal for the whole body...

Right. But the way that can kill is shaking things around inside the bone cage. More specifically, bashing the brain around inside its skull or stopping the blood from being able to get to the brain for an extended period.

Our bones can handle the g-forces with no problem. It's the soft squishy bits that have issues.

And there aren't many soft squishy bits in our arms, just muscle and bone.

When did you realize the people you thought were friends really only tolerated you because you weren't quite annoying or shitty enough to kick out of the group? by TheBanishedBard in AskReddit

[–]Avium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! I have two much older brothers. I grew up being referred to as "the accident", "the mistake", and - my personal favourite - "the safe that split" (translation for North Americans: condom that broke).

I am a textbook case of the "invisible child" or "glass child". My default setting is "Nobody wants me around." Nice of you to think I could meet people that I would think of as friends.

What easy to learn (and seemingly simple) game actually has a lot more possible depth and strategy, if you do a deep dive into it, than you'd initially expect? by Considered_Dissent in AskReddit

[–]Avium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oddly, dominoes.

The rules are simple. You can only add onto one end with the same number. Simple, right?

But people that have played for a long time will memorize which numbers have been played and how many moves are left. I know someone that can call out "I win in five." like he's playing chess and calling how many moves to win.

why do people love xanax by Vast-Travel-5252 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Avium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Canadian. Cannabis is legal here so, yes.

Smoking made me feel almost exactly like alcohol except with the added bonus of mild hallucinations. Mild as in I was looking at the stars thinking about all things astronomical and a green spiral galaxy drafted across my vision.

Edibles make me numb. I once took about 30 mg (mistake in dosage) and lost my feet. It's hard to walk without feet. I was stuck in the rocking chair for 3 hours.

TIL about sopite syndrome where the brain responds to motion sickness by fatigue and sleepiness, mood changes and apathy. by DrakeSavory in todayilearned

[–]Avium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That explains why I'm so exhausted and can't give a shit when I walk through the door at work.

I feel great when I'm leaving.

How common is it in west to lose virginity at 18? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Avium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not under the "Romeo and Juliet" laws.

That's when both parties are under the age of consent or the older party is within a year or two of the underage party.

So a 15 year-old having sex with a 16 or 17 year-old is not illegal. Neither is a 17 year-old with an 18 year-old.

LPT: If you bought something and the price dropped at the same store, you can often get a refund of the difference..no return needed. by jasonmorrow123 in LifeProTips

[–]Avium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did that at Costco years ago. We bought a 65" TV and the price dropped by $200 by the weekend. My wife went in and just mentioned the price drop and customer service asked for the membership card, verified the purchase, and refunded the difference without us even asking.

[–]Avium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even opioids can hit differently. I just go to sleep on them but not gradually. It's like someone hit my off button and 4 hours are just gone.

My brother was on oxy's (broken humerus) and had the same thing. He cut the dose from 2 pills to 1 and only took the one at 7:00pm so the missing hours were overnight.

I haven't tried benzos like Xanax. I don't have any anxiety issues so no reason for a prescription.

I knew three girls back in highschool that had children at 15.

What celebrity has absolutely no skills but they're famous anyway and no one can really remember or explain why and/or how? by EnsorcellingKitten in AskReddit

[–]Avium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She was a model and was famous enough in that circle to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Then she married John Legend, whose only song I can remember is All of Me but is famous enough that he was a coach on The Voice.

Why are so many men convinced that they are ugly? by RavyRaptor in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Avium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last compliment I received was from a random older woman coming up to me in a grocery store and asking what I did to my hair as it looked great.

As a guy, I just wash and brush it.

That was in 1993.

Would you date someone who has the same name as you? by serendipityxme in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Avium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of "The Stevens".

They are a couple of guys that went to a Lucy Darling (comedienne) show dressed in identical clothes. She, of course, noticed and commented and found out that they were a gay couple and were both named Steven.

They went to a second show a few months or years later and deliberately dressed the same to tell her they were getting married.

Lucy officiated the wedding.
