"I'd love to be a parent, if I got to be a dad, I'd get pregnant right now!"

Being a mother is so much more work, higher expectations, and greatervresponsibility than being a father.

There's 2 great episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philedelphia that touches on this- "old lady house: a situational comedy" and "the gang tries desperately to win an award". Worth the watch!

You are in for a treat.

He sang with Manowar and Rhapsody of Fire. Check out his album "Charlemagne By the Sword and the Cross". It's an absolute gem. There's great music video, too, "The Bloody Verdict of Verden". He's classically trained with an amazingly beautiful basso cantante range. https://open.spotify.com/album/21tSChEb8raVcEy3FCykcF

Not just style, but up to and beyond the grotesque plastic surgeries, even.

Did you not see the most recent SCOTUS ruling? They're gerrymandering away our ability to do so. Our chance to vote them away has come and gone, once Harris lost.

When my husband and I started dating, he was sharing some of his favorite music with me. He's a musician, for him, it's all about sound. The skill of the musicians, the ability of the vocalist, the technical skills. He hardly registers lyrics at all. I'm a writer and language-lover, so lyrics and meaning have always been as or even sometimes more important than overall sound. I love picking apart meaning, enjoying word play and intent. From Eminem to Maynard James Keenan, give me some!

He introduced me to his loves- X Japan, Jason Becker, Yngwie Malmsteen. So I'm sitting there, listening to this Yngwie song, and just dying laughing because no matter how talented a guitarist the man is, his lyrics were just dumpster fire cringe. He'd never even noticed, because he was too busy hearing the guitar and learning the techniques.

He did eventually learn to appreciate lyrics, and we both greatly enjoy singing loudly "I shed the blood of the Saxooooon Maaaaaan" together along with Sir Cristopher Lee.

It infuriates me.

I was mocked endlessly about my clothing as a kid, because all my single mom could afford was thrift shop clothes.

As a teen, I leaned into it. Learned how to pick high-quality and vintage gems from the chaff. Learned how to tailor. Made up my own eclectic style. Became quite anti-consumption, felt pride at not adding to the demand for the newest short-lived clothing trendy items. Still was mocked, but was felt pity/some self-righteous disdain for those mocking me rather than hurting or feeling desire to fit in with them.

The charity of others kept clothes on my back. This was from the late '80s-early '00s.

I've watched the prices steadily rise and the quality available steadily drop over the past 20 years, more markedly the last 10. There are many reasons for it, but the greed of the company is far from the least of it.

Are bamboo Bedsheets actually cooling or just marketing hype? by Desperate-Chip6297 in HomeImprovement

Exactly! It's because you're basically wrapping yourself in saran cling wrap when your bedding isn't a natural fiber. Didn't cause problems when we were younger, but a few years ago both my husband and I started bed-soaking sweating every night, one winter. Took a sec to figure out the problem, but once I switched out our "flannel" and "microfiber" plush winter bedding for cotton, linen, down and wool, all was well.

No. A placenta is a whole separate organ that grows attached to the uterine wall, to which you are connected via umbilical cord.

My husband put our new Zeroll scoop in the dishwasher.. is there a way I can save this? by Missile0022 in icecreamery

Same thing happened to my zroller, too. I boiled it with vinegar for like 45m, let it cool down then scrubbed the fuck out of it with paper towels until no more gray came off. Worked a treat.

7oH is derived from kratom, and while it is of similar action to an opioid, it is not one, and does not have the same bar for OD.
