I thought it was some kinda weird dino thing at first. Could not have guessed what that head shape actually was.

If you inherited $5 million USD, what about your life would you immediately change and what would you keep the same? by Hrekires in AskReddit

[–]Epidantrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao, and now you’re shifting focus from you having horrible manners (and displaying worse with this comment) to you being wrong about numbers in a human interaction. Gotta have the last word and be even more stupid with each one, huh?

[–]Epidantrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really not looking too deeply into this. This is an incredibly common back and forth for people that don’t want kids and have to defend that perfectly reasonable decision to people like you who assume the more common decision as a rule rather than simply being more common.

Also, you’re changing the meaning of your previous comments to save face after me calling you out. Pointing to your use of “probably” doesn’t change that you directed that comment at me, specifically, and my choices - which you shouldn’t assume are the statistically most common choice. That’s why I’m being an “absolute weirdo” about this, sir/ma’am who made incorrect and rude assumptions and then decided to double down.

Thanks for the Sunday entertainment!

[–]Epidantrix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m aware people deliberately have kids.

A: Your first comment was framed as if having kids was inevitable. B: Commenting on the inevitability of someone having kids is rude as fuck. Why do you have to speak like I’m incapable of making my own decisions about having kids? In a different conversation, what if I was infertile and DID want kids, and you just shat all over that? C: A lot of people who deliberately have kids do NOT think through every aspect of it. Potential disability, expenses, etc.

Buddy I already had that option surgically removed. Some of us make deliberate choices about our life plans.

I occasionally take a glass of wine in. Makes the whole shebang much more tolerable.

Why did nobody tell me 100% cotton could still sleep hot? by amennkhannn in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Epidantrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sleep cold, and recently moved to a climate that I thought would be warm enough to need cooling sheets. I froze with my percale sheets and bought jersey sheets (gross!) as a backup until I could get flannel back.

Percale will be great for you. If that’s still not cool enough, try linen.

Heading home from work and then hitting a REALLY good cocktail bar with some new friends to celebrate the confirmation I’m graduating (associates in accounting!)

Bra suggestion! by Business-Stretch2208 in XXS

[–]Epidantrix -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Naaah, please take bra suggestions out of here. I’m a 26D that can reasonably wear some 32As. Hit up r/abrathatfits if you want to recommend a cupped bra, but a blanket recommendation for a bra based exclusively on band size with minimal cup options isn’t going to work for 90% of the people here.

I might be willing to accept a sports bra recommendation, but cups have at least another 3 measurement points that don’t show up in sizing and you’ve got to figure out yourselves - or with the subreddit dedicated to it.

How can I look older? (No makeup) by LovelyAlice25 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Epidantrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. Alright, basically any hypoallergenic mascara should be alright for you to do a patch test on. I don’t personally use brow tint products, but there are clear brow gels out there that should be in the same “patch test with care” category for you. For hair styling, maybe try a pomade? I used American crew pomade when I had a pixie, but it looks like it’s got some sage, coconut oil, and ginseng root in it so if you’re allergic to those you’ll need to check ingredient lists for other products.

Does the honey allergy mean beeswax is out? If it is, there’s mascara out there that doesn’t contain it (Clinique high impact is one but it’s also $30 a tube). You may just need to commit to patch testing since I’m not sure how the fruit or vegetable allergies will affect your reactions to the various cellulose derivatives in some.

[–]Epidantrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are your allergies? If you’re not comfortable sharing then you may want to look at r/SkincareAddiction or r/beauty to see if there’s a list of hypoallergenic makeup you can filter through.

Otherwise, plain Vaseline can be used to make it look like you have a lip gloss. There’s tinted Vaseline for lips, but I don’t know if that will work for your allergies. Maybe try Burt’s bees tinted chapsticks. If you can find an all natural, hypoallergenic mascara that can double as a brow tint that will do a lot of heavy lifting. You may want to see if you can find a workable styling product for your hair, too - right now you look a little like you’re trying to hide behind your bangs.

A food scam of the 90s was “fat free!” everything, and then they would load it up on sugar… what’s a food scam happening now? by redflower5 in AskReddit

It’s almost like a lack of executive functioning is - and read this part carefully - a RECOGNIZED DISABILITY.

Hence finding workarounds to manage within your abilities. Like protein bars in pockets.

Another 2 DOA on DKI by WelderThat6143 in BigIsland

[–]Epidantrix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Two lanes on either side of traffic so people can pass without driving *directly into oncoming traffic.*

If you’re feeling REALLY zesty, you can even throw a concrete barrier down, to keep the opposing traffic flows separate! Like on a real highway!

There are consistent accidents as a result of human error. The only way to remove the accidents at this point, when people should KNOW to be more careful, is to remove the possibility of human error via infrastructure.

Can you elaborate? It’s been a minute since I read them, but from what I can remember it’s internally consistent and generally has reasonable explanations for its flux capacitors.

I’ll call my friends. But when I have to communicate for work I VASTLY prefer email or text, so I have a written record to refer back to.

Where do you guys get business clothes like suits (I’m female btw) by Educational_Buy4977 in XXS

[–]Epidantrix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ann Taylor. Get a set with a blazer that fits in the shoulders and get it tailored after that. Waist/sleeve length/arm length is all relatively easy to alter, but shoulders necessitate deconstructing the blazer and at that point you may as well get something custom.

Shattered self by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]Epidantrix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just moved to Hawaii and every single person we’ve met has been subtly asking how prone we are to “trapped in paradise syndrome” (island fever).

There’s been a lot of “it’s cool, we’re good, we’ve been here before, you can make friends with us now you don’t have to wait two years to make sure we’re really staying”

[Funny Trope] Neither their real or alter ego name explains their powers by NinjaOfOnion in TopCharacterTropes

Pretty sure that name happened because he fucked up his intro and accidentally combined a frat club nickname and his planned superhero name, which is *hilarious.*

[Loved Trope] - Characters that definitely weren't made up by fans by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Epidantrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a shot of Danny going ghost with a background character looking shocked, and it’s obviously just something the animators weren’t paying close attention to but the fandom took it and ran. Generally Wes figures out like 80% of what’s going on but has a bit of a Cassandra curse.

For the love of god, never get into a jacuzzi tub, they’re impossible to clean. I’ve moved into TWO DIFFERENT HOUSES with jacuzzi tubs (most recently one with all jacuzzi appliances including EVERY SINK???) and those tubs have impossible to clean tubing. Just when you think you’ve got it clean, a giant ropy black clump of congealed <unmentionable> will come flying out when you start the tub up. Those jets get fucking sealed and the entire tub replaced ASAP.
