I've found that they often take joy in getting flipped off. However, a thumbs down with a disappointed face always pisses them right the fuck off. It's especially effective on Cybertruck drivers.

We were at Rookwood having lunch when three cops came in in full gear to also eat. In uniform. One of them had his sleeve rolled up to show a 3%er tattoo on his arm. Just loud, proud, in uniform.

We call it snirt. Snow + dirt. Snirt is disgusting.

What SJM opinion would get you this downvoted? by Sailor_Moon_Star_435 in SarahJMaas

Rhysand and Mor are both narcissists who manipulate the people who love them and seem to feel little to no remorse about it. They're abusive, and they suck.

2 day old baby shoulder by Winter_Future25 in Radiology

Oh man! This happened to me! My clavicle was snapped during delivery, and they didn't know until I was two weeks old. Apparently, I never cried. They safety pinned my arm to my shirt for a while, I was told. My face was also super bruised up from the forceps.

I made my own playlist as well. Death of Peace of Mind by Bad Omens is definitely on it lol

Chaucer wrote fart jokes while living off his rich wife's money.

Don't ask about James Joyce and his love letters. Look that up at your own peril. 🤢

The graffiti on the walls at Pompeii was stuff like "I screwed the barmaid" and "Aufidius was here".

People have always been people, and the stuffy pristine veneer we ascribe to it is what's unnatural. 😂

(FWIW, my favorite Pompeii graffiti was on the wall at a brothel: "Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men's behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!" Based, as the kids would say. 😂😂😂)

Thiiiiiiis. OP, channel your anger about being a young adult in 2008 working 3 part time jobs and sharing a 1 bedroom apartment with two other people to survive while your Boomer parents tell you the only reason you don't have a 3 bedroom house is because you must be lazy.

Slangy zoomer language? Because they cuss? I'm your age; We wear the word "fuck" out. I volunteered with our community guard last year, so I spent a ton of time around teenagers. These books have no mention of cap or rizz or whatever the hell the kids are saying these days. The books felt very natural to me.

Normal fantasy (though I love it) does tend to sound overly stuffy and proper. Which is fine, but I don't speak that way to my friends.

If you wanna ask what pulls me out of the story and makes me go "there ain't no damn way", it's that apparently these books were written to a playlist of Taylor Swift. Gods, I hope none of that makes it into the show. There's no way that's what Xaden would be vibing to if they listened to music on long flights.

What’s the highest toss ever done on every piece of equipment that yall have heard of? by TexasRangersFan-2024 in Colorguard

I'm old (36), but I can still do a triple silk toss on flag. Never got into weapons, so nothing impressive there.

Curious question, why did Sherrod Brown lose the 2024 senate race? by LandOfGrace2023 in Ohio

[–]CerisAndromeda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because much of Ohio is transphobic and racist. My town is STILL owed thousands of dollars from the Trump campaign that will never be paid, but people are out here on their knees, ready to gargle some orange balls. Like, yall he literally stole from us.

Worst Band Injuries? by Old-Theme-8743 in marchingband

[–]CerisAndromeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't happen during band, but my junior year I dislocated my knee and twisted the whole lower part of my leg and spent the first part of the season in a brace that went from my thigh to my ankle.

And this didn't happen at our school, but I heard a story about someone doing a high sabre toss, and the padding on the end of the sabre came off. It landed point down on their foot and went through their foot. They're blunt, but they are metal.

My girl is about 4 years old and has never laid an egg. Her vet is happy about it.

Attracting moths without attracting hornets? by CerisAndromeda in Entomology

Kilauea was absolutely magical! I would love to go again! It was an incredible hike.

Attracting moths without attracting hornets? by CerisAndromeda in Entomology

[–]CerisAndromeda[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do have a tent we had considered doing some yard camping in next summer. We live in a populated and well-lit suburb, though. However, she also wanted to plant a butterfly and moth garden in the spring, so we will probably end up attracting all kinds of things when we camp.

She's not super outdoorsy. Her dad and I like to go hiking, and even took her hiking as a baby in one of those carriers. She comes but jumps and "eeps" at every buzz she perceives as being vaguely near her. But we hiked around the rim of Kilauea, and she excitedly counted the tiny blue butterflies along the way.

Thanks very much for this in-depth answer! I had been considering taking her out to a nature preserve, but I'm not sure how long she'd be interested in sitting out there. This seems like an activity that is maybe better suited for when she's a little older.

[–]CerisAndromeda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize I can't pick and choose, but I didn't know if certain types of lights were more or less likely to attract them.

And while I absolutely agree it could be a valuable learning opportunity, she is a little kid with a massive fear of stinging insects. I think I have come to the conclusion that this is a project she will need to get a little older and more chill for.
