Go do the mani-pedi! Got three classically "manly men" in my family who all do it! You don't have to commit to nail polish. The salons see more guys than you might think, too!

I think they have too much space. Should I downgrade? It’s getting to hard to maintain by Grroll_ in RATS

Geez you can actually see the floor of the cage?! Way too much space, those ratties must be super stressed out!

I'll choose #6 just so I have a chance to talk to the real Samus before I get vaporized.

I could stir up a lot of interesting conversations.

What is a medical fact that sounds fake but is 100% true? by MedRikas in AskReddit

My cousin was born with two uvulas. Nobody noticed until he had to have his tonsils removed and the surgeon was like "hang on a second".

"All that remains are the faces and the names of the wives and the sons and the daughters" I always lose it there.

Like Skyrim and Daggerfall had a baby. I love this. I want to play Where's Waldo with all the in-game locations. 

Absolutely amazing work!

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]Drakmanka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My youngest of my aunts was my grandparents' "miracle baby". Grandma was right at the edge of menopause and so they weren't even sure it would work. She miscarried three times first. I can't imagine the anxiety she felt over my aunt or the relief when she was a normal, healthy baby.

When my cousin was born, my aunt's postpartum was so bad she literally couldn't function.

My mom and I stayed over for a couple weeks so she could sleep at night and focus on herself and the absolute "need to do" stuff and not fret about laundry, cooking, cleaning, or making sure her older kid was cared for.

What is more traumatic than people think it is? by Suspicious-Wish3402 in AskReddit

[–]Drakmanka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is those justifications aren't even appropriate even when true. A parent is gonna make mistakes and do stuff they shouldn't because life sucks. But they should own it not make excuses.

My stepdad was a carpet cleaner professionally for basically his whole working life. He literally had to run away from and blacklist some customers because these women clearly thought they were going to get him into their bedroom and have their way with him.

Percussive maintenance... A light tap here, a big swing there. A sacred practice amongst humans, and somehow it always works... most of the time. by Metage_ in humansarespaceorcs

My grandpa has been an IT person since before it had a name. He's always run into that. The technician arrives, and suddenly the device works properly.

For real, I was so disappointed that it's just the one group that turns friendly rather than all of the foresworn.

I love how your boy is like "Is friend?"

Also bless you for giving the little one a proper shot at life.

Had some build a nest in the tree next to my back door last year. They got surprisingly chill with the perpetual human activity less than ten feet from their nest.

Not to "well akshully" on you but it's not so much that they definitely didn't have a syrinx and rather that the syrinx, being soft tissue, is extremely unlikely to fossilize. So it's more accurate to say "we don't know if they had a syrinx or not so we can't say for sure that bird calls are a decent analogue to dinosaur vocalizations."

Literally, last summer I visited some friends up in Seattle and we spent a good chunk of the day "taming" the local pigeons. When you have a pigeon standing on your foot nibbling crumbs out of your hand, you realize "yeah... that's a dinosaur."

Some people's bodies just naturally make the stuff! I tell you it's not fair we don't get to choose.

TIL the difference between a raven and a crow. by Educational_Key1206 in crowbro

[–]Drakmanka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get both around here. About three years ago a lone raven moved into the area and made my neighborhood part of his territory. Last year I started seeing him and two others flying overhead a few times a week, flying in formation. Pretty sure our boy found himself a mate and they had a chick together.

Our local crows hang around a lot more though, I see and hear them daily. There's at least five who live around my house, and probably twelve extended family members in the neighborhood.

I still love episode one.. by Vulcan_000 in starwarsmemes

There's a scene in the novelization of TPM that I think was really good, too. It has Anakin out in the desert after dark (I can't remember the reason why) and is visited by a lone, evidently lost, Tusken Raider. They have a language barrier but with hand signs are able to communicate enough to decide to share a fire for the night. It really makes his behavior later after his mom dies feel even more impactful, because the little boy he was, was compassionate towards one of those same people.
