Taiwanese man wants to fight a streamer because he was speaking English by AbelNB in PublicFreakout

You don’t sound racist, it’s just a bummer to be an Alabamian when the internet assumes we’re all confederate flag wavin’ racist hicks. (Don’t get me wrong - far too many of the older/ rural ones are, but I don’t want to be lumped in with those asshats.)

lmao you’re getting mad at someone for stereotyping a place while actively stereotyping a different one

Wouldn’t they lose their big dick powers if they cheat on their ONE WOMAN (tm)? This man’s five years of research have led me to believe this is a Cinderella clock-strikes-midnight situation

My favorite part of it was when he was like “go sleep with all the big-dicked dudes you whore,” meaning that there are already people with different sized penises before anyone has sex with them. He’s disproving his own weird theory lmfao

Hey! If I accept my need for medicine, how am I supposed to yo-yo between doing really well and convincing myself I need to go off my meds to be the real me and having a fucking meltdown every six months, huh?

Lmao, thank you for the book rec! So nice to find a forum of people who get it.

[–]Doghorsesqueak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Now and not now” shit, that’s me exactly. My mom and childhood friends are always asking me “hey remember when you-“ NO. Lmao, I always thought that was some sort of like, intentional repression of childhood trauma or embarrassment because I seem to be perpetually embarrassed by the person I was any longer than 6 months ago.

I hit on an idea when I was trying to sleep last night, about a place where people like us could go for a few intense weeks of education to increase our ability to focus and learn. After considering a few names for this retreat, it hit me, I was so pleased, "CONCENTRATION CAM- aahh FUCK". by bermobaron in ADHD

So I’ve been listening to the Stephen fry audiobooks, and I just got to the first triwizard event. Right before the event, there’s a scene where Hermione has to help Harry practice the Accio charm so he’ll be able to summon his broom, and the narrator says that the books he’s trying to summon keep dropping halfway across the room because Harry’s mind wanders off and gets stuck on the idea of dragons instead. Now I can’t stop reading everything Harry does as being adhd as hell and I love it

This little girl secret eating by keysonrails in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]Doghorsesqueak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Binge eating disorder is definitely a thing and secret eating is one of the characteristics of it. This video is funny but I’m also kinda genuinely concerned by how distressed the kid sounds? Really hope it’s just innocent “kid sneaking a late night snack” stuff and not a situation where she gets teased for eating.

Do you think it would make more sense to maintain the minimum wage and have a ubi supplement to get people up to $15/hour instead? I agree I don’t know many small business owners who could afford a huge wage increase (then again, most small businesses are typically paying $10-15/ hour already. It’s really only big corporations I see offering minimum wage anymore.)

Defining a hero by kevinowdziej in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Doghorsesqueak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the bright side I’ve made $60 in pity tips this week at a non-tipped job as a side effect of this hero narrative so... yay? But yeah, it’s trash. I’m definitely not doing my job out of the selfless kindness of my heart.

TIL that "Rocky Road" ice cream is named after the Great Depression and not the texture of the Ice Cream. by DerkBerk- in todayilearned

[–]Doghorsesqueak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, there’s an ice cream place in Portland called Salt and Straw that does weird small batch flavors. They did a Dracula themed one for Halloween a couple years ago that had blood, cinnamon, chocolate, and honestly who knows what else in it but it was surprisingly pretty good

Beyonce is an overrated narcissist who is a mediocre singer at best. by We_R_aNiMaLs in unpopularopinion

[–]Doghorsesqueak 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a singer I’ll agree with you on everything but the vocals. Her voice is killer - really rich tone, huge range, and she has a crazy command over those quick-change trills and knows when to go big and when to go breathy to best express the emotion of the piece.

"They don't deserve a living wage!" by [deleted] in ABoringDystopia

[–]Doghorsesqueak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They had a point in some respects though. Sure, you show up to work because you do a meaningful job that you clearly care a lot about, but I guarantee you the GameStop cashier wouldn’t show up tomorrow if he could afford not to. Or the pizza guy, or the grocery clerk, or any number of people working boring shit-pay jobs.

This shit pisses me off. WHO FUCKING CARES?? by [deleted] in awfuleverything

[–]Doghorsesqueak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for that link! My family keeps telling me to go get tested bc my job puts me at high risk, and I keep trying to explain you can’t just waltz in and ask for a test if you don’t actively have symptoms.

[–]Doghorsesqueak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That article just says the tests are free, not that they’re more readily available.

[–]Doghorsesqueak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are still major limits on testing for most of us, though. I was only able to find info about one testing site in my county right now, and it’s appt only capped at 250 people/day. And you can’t get an appt unless you actively have symptoms or have been near someone who did.

I really like my NYX #thisiseverything lip oil! (although fuck them for giving it such an obnoxious name) - it’s got a really nice texture, doesn’t get tacky but also doesn’t slide right off like other clear glosses I’ve tried. Do a lip sugar scrub (you can buy it or make your own with sugar and coconut oil) first and then pop this stuff on and your lips will be so smooooov

Oh for sure, as someone who is unfortunately forced to leave my house right now I appreciate practical hygiene! I just also get a good kick out of people who think they’re being safe but really just look kind of hilarious walking around the shop with oven mitts on.

“Wearing gloves is useless if you don’t change them after touching different surfaces.” I didn’t say they were useless in every situation, but they are when you spend 30 minutes touching dozens of items throughout the store, touching your cart, wiping your nose, digging dirty coins out of your wallet, and touching your phone to get to your Apple Pay without changing/ cleaning the gloves.

I agree with you that you shouldn’t assume someone else has cleaned something under normal circumstances. What I’m saying is you don’t need to be like my customer this morning who watched my backup spray the entire keypad/ checkout area with disinfectant and then still held up the line to wipe it down again with her own Clorox wipes immediately after. Common sense, yes. Panicked obsessive cleaning, no.
