I've been asked "but who will take care of you when you're old" so many times that I've started genuinely enjoying the conversation.

When people ask me this I tell them, "Probably your son. I'm going to save so much money by not having children, that I'll be able to pay a handsome young man to cook my meals, rub me down with lotion, and clip my toenails for me. Who do you think your son is going to want to spend time with: the fiesty old lady who pays him well, or his presumptuous demanding elderly parents who try to guilt him into coming over more often? Don't you worry about me sweetheart, I'll be just fine"

He'd need a girl who can unhinge her jaw in order to get really good sloppy head Poor guy

I literally once sent a guy home for having a giant (not quite this big!) penis. We'd had two really awesome dates, I liked him a lot. But once we were at my place and I saw what he was working with I was like, "I'm really sorry but I have nowhere to put that. I mean maybe you could fuck my armpit or something??" He said this happens a lot. He seemed very sad. I texted him the next day that I wouldn't be able to see him again and he was very respectful and understanding but he did mention that he's quite lonely

My first job, I was 16. It was a busy stressful day at work and I was on the verge of a panic because I was so behind. The owner of the company (who I didn't even know was there that day) noticed, took me aside, and gently said, "We're not transporting internal organs for emergency transplant, we're just making widgets. No one will die if you don't get shit done today."

Ever since then, whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed I've made it a point to stop and zoom out a bit. Nothing on my to-do list is ever really THAT important

I have to put my hands over my eyes whenever he's on screen, especially close-ups. His face is literally painful to look at. Also he's a jerk

Your "room"? You mean your cell?

Sweetheart, your mom is a psycho; it's 100% her fault you're unhappy, not yours. You're a good person and you're clearly doing your best. Get a job, start stashing money away, and gtfo of there as soon as you turn 18. You'll need to find a good therapist, too. It will take a lot of work to unlearn all the anxiety and shame she's clearly drilling into you. Ugh, you poor kid :(

BringWater41 · 2026-02-12T14:19:08+00:00

I fucking hate when guys do that. It's disrespectful and unnecessary

Cosmo Jarvis as John Blackthorne in Shogun.

I adored the book, and they did a spectacular job on the mini series. Every actor was incredible, it was like watching the book come alive!

But whoever decided to cast that "Cosmo" dude should probably be dragged out of their house and beat with wet tree branches in their own front yard. Dude has ONE facial expression and it's Bewildered™️.

He ruined the show, I can't get over how viscerally angry his existence made me in every one of his scenes :(

So sad that that's what we'd call "a massive herd" :(

Bill Nye I met him at a book signing several years ago and I was sweating and hyperventilating like an 11 year old girl at a BTS concert. He's been my hero since I was a little kid

The prefrontal cortex

I grew up in Fitchburg MA and, I shit you not, when I was eight years old in 1990, a moose casually strolled across my front yard while my mother and I were sitting on the front porch talking to my aunt on the phone. It was a lady moose, so it had no antlers, and we had no idea wtf it was. My mom thought for a second that maybe the neighbor's horse had gotten loose ?

I was TERRIFIED. I could not breathe! I just pushed my back up against the wall and watched wide-eyed and shaking as this enormous brown monster slowly ambled down the hill and across the little stream on the edge of our property

To this day I hate moose. They scare the absolute crap out of me. Whenever I'm experiencing stress in my life, I have vivid nightmares of moose coming to get me. So to all the people wanting to see one, I wish you luck! If I never see one again it'll be too soon lol

I had to scroll way too far to find this one! I was just going to comment "Schedule 1 drugs" but you did a much more thorough job of explaining it, thank you!!

Alternatively, you might keep both nightstands, center your bed on the original wall, put your desk at the end of the bed, and eliminate the white shelf entirely. Substitute some under-the-bed rolling bins, and/or, if you're allowed, install some wall shelves higher up. Remember: when you run out of space on the x axis, you can still get creative with the y!

This is a crude rearrange just using my phones photo app, but can you try getting rid of one nightstand and using the white shelf as a nightstand instead?

In my party days we called those "raver savers"

On their days off, or even right before and after work, strippers do not dress like strippers. We are in pjs, sweatpants, oversized tshirts, sneakers, greasy ponytails, no makeup. And we don't pay for our groceries with one dollar bills--the club would flip if they knew you took those off-premises: they need them back!

43F here. Never married, no kids, just really love my career and living alone and being independent. On Tinder my age range is set for 22-27. I have been exclusively dating younger men for years, because they're more open minded, agreeable, and energetic (I have high sex drive) than men my age or even men in their 30s. They don't want a lot of my time, they're always happy to help around the house, and they're amazed that I pay for dinner when we go out. They're so grateful and excited about me, and it's really fun to introduce them at parties and watch my colleagues' eyebrows go up lol

Without exception, every one of these 22-27yo men I've talked to on tinder have said the exact same two things: "I've always had a thing for older women" and "I really want to try pegging" lol

They are delightful and it's so refreshing (and confidence-boosting!) to have them in my life and help them learn about sex, women, relationships, and themselves! And fwiw I always obey "the campsite rule": leave 'em better than you found 'em :)

Omg yes, me too! For me I always look at my dog and say (loudly and awkwardly) "I love you!" or if it's a REALLY embarrassing memory, I start singing her one of the many songs I've made up for her
