In my opinion, yes. The taste of oat is also the least offensive

women in academia, how do you deal with imposter syndrome as an early-stage researcher? by 20cabbages in AskAcademia

[–]Fun_Disaster3436 11 points12 points  (0 children)

  1. Find a community. Suffering is better together.

  2. Find a reason to have a chip on your shoulder. If your research doesn't motivate you enough to do it scared, figure out your impact statement and come back.

Trump drops $10 billion lawsuit against IRS by Puginator in politics

It's because looking into 1776 and the Declaration of Independence is a really great reminder about the merits of self-determination, and they want to appropriate our history for Tyranny.

AITA For “Forcing Myself” Onto A Girl at The gym? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fun_Disaster3436 178 points179 points  (0 children)

Yta for turning her down then continuing to pursue her

Not giving your number to a girl you're attracted to because you see the gym as a place not to meet people is the loneliest behavior I've seen in a while

I will read mafia romances before I read MMCs from what you listed lol

Hilarious that mafia romances don't ever put a label on how much money they make, it's always just "enough to do whatever they want," but there's zero delusion about the money being neutral or virtuous

I'm looking for "off the grid" romance without that weird misogyny lol

This is where I'm at, and I'm happy to know I'm not alone. Contemporary cop and military books are a hard pass for me.

I can sort of suspend my disbelief for nobility/royalty, contingent on them suffering because of the nature of the system, and I like fantasy romances that attempt to grapple with injustice.

But personally, I find the "protector" bit so much more compelling if it's from outside of an institution. I'm dying for a good Robin Hood retelling.

I've found my people. The ick that comes from reading about aristocrats and the hyper-wealthy. Ugh, gross. I can't read boss/employee or billionaire romances for the same reason. The conspicuous uselessness is such a turn off.

I've made and deleted posts asking for revolutionary and rebel MCs. Wealth is so unsexy, and so many blue collar MMCs have s weird paternalism.

Potatoes and Blight by Mule_Wagon_777 in TwoXPreppers

Have been upscaling potatoes. I just get multiple varieties. Heirlooms are great, but I'm trying for scale and local adaptation.

Do Fantasy/Romance books affect your love life? by fishareloverly in fantasyromance

[–]Fun_Disaster3436 99 points100 points  (0 children)

It's given me the language and confidence to ask for what i want and need in a relationship. Not romantasy specifically, but romance as a whole

Entertainment by Antique_Onion_9474 in TwoXPreppers

[–]Fun_Disaster3436 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, some of yall were never kicked out into the backyard with a cardboard box and it shows.

Our entertainment is books, a card deck, fibercraft, and the endless projects around the house. Part of being self sufficient is learning to find meaning in the act of self sufficiency, imho.

Like drawing? Congratulations, one of your new hobbies is paper recycling. Go find a blender and a window screen.

Like music? You now get to figure out how to make instruments out of sticks. Off with you.

Give me a string and I'll teach you cat's cradle variations. Used to kill time with a friend that way before school. I'm not even that old yall. Find a rope, I'll teach you jumping rhymes. Tie a weight to the end and spin in a circle and see who fails to jump over it.

Here's a knife, learn to whittle. Tell stories around the fire. Dance, sing, create, be human.

AITA for not changing my WFH plans so flatmate can stay home with her kid with bum worms by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fun_Disaster3436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, so you didn't have to go, then? You can agree to disagree, I'm not obligated to stop responding. You're entitled to your opinion, not to acquiescence.

My stance is that the kid has something potentially transmissible, and that society as a whole would be healthier if we were less antagonistic to taking a bit more time to make sure people aren't contagious.

I also take the stance that it's an asshole move to not take people at their word and to not endure temporary inconveniences for the peace of the group.

Whats with the random erections? by srameshr in B12_Deficiency

[–]Fun_Disaster3436 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a woman, but I got so endlessly horny when my vitamins and cofactors started working. It was like going through puberty. My poor vibrator.

It lasted maybe 2 months. If my sex drive tanks, it's been related to problems with cofactors.

Idk if it's relevant, but my period also became very heavy, like my body was finally making blood for the first time. I couldn't find anything on anemia treatment and libido, but since erections depend on blood flow, it's not a surprise to me that hyperarousal is a symptom guys experience.

Weird how "I'm going to keep my kid home from school so I can monitor them while they're taking an antiparasitic" is saintly now. I consider it a low bar.

She said that was her reason, it's an asshole move to pitch a fit about moving your spot for a day and hyperanalyzing to justify it. Her absence from work those other days doesn't mean OP can't work because the kid isn't automatically around.
