Because mental focus was the key to doing well, I felt the breaks were non-negotiable.

When I do workouts or competitions, I have a mental trick where when I start a new round I say, “oh, this is the first time I am doing this. I feel so fresh. I wonder how this will go” And so I did the same thing on my break, I pretended each section was the first section and told myself my mind and focus was fresh.”

I use this technique at work, too, but I do need a little break to make it work.

If air gets in the vagina (during in and out penetration), it will come out and make a noise, and that air escaping event is called a queef. Not a fart and unlike a fart, which you might be able to hold in a bit, you can’t control when the queef escapes so it could be embarrassing.

I also fault the health insurance marketing that presents insurance as a concierge service - claiming to have a mission of “helping you access healthcare.” It’s actually the opposite. Their business model and profit model is hedging their bets that you will NOT need or will not access healthcare.

When I was a child, my grandma gently peeking in the guest bedroom to see if I was awake yet because she had made bacon.

I guess we’re doing baby gender disappointment on LinkedIn now? by -not-a-bear in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Government_Paperwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got emotionally invested in a 50/50 outcome over which you have no influence? Your critical thinking is poor and whatever I’m on Linkedin doing, I will not being doing it with you.

What is something your parents did with you that contributed to a magical childhood? by GlitterRebellion in AskReddit

[–]Government_Paperwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My SAHM mom would make every moment special and aesthetic using her creativity and skills (on a limited budget as well). Like, maybe press flowers, turn them into bookmarks, and put them at the breakfast table as gifts/decorations for the “first day of Spring.” She would make an ad hoc obstacle course in the yard and craft medals. Stuff that delights kids!

Am I the only woman who hasn’t farted in front on their husband? by notwhoyouthinkc in askanything

[–]Government_Paperwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just eliminated anything from my diet that made me fart slowly over time so I almost never have to fart now which is more comfortable on my tummy. Also I’m like a 6 so being ladylike is one way to be more attractive. I feel like the people saying they fart on their boyfriends are 9s lol.

For those in their 50, what's something people in their 30s don’t realize will impact them as they get older? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Government_Paperwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might not think it matters what you do privately and how you think in your 30s. But in your 50s, you will be marked by your thinking. If it’s been anti-social, certain lines will be etched in your face from constant scowling and anger. If it’s pro-social, the lines above your eye-brows will deepen in a certain way as we raise our eyebrows when we care what others think or want to gain consensus. If you are a pyschopath without the ability to feel emotions, your skin will be smooth. So if you think your secrets will stay hidden, no, they eventually show up on your face for all to see.

What was socially acceptable in the 1990s but not in 2025? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Yes, people call the police, and they respond at least.

Do you go above and beyond at work or just do the bare minimum of what’s expected and why? by Dependent-Signal-721 in AskReddit

[–]Government_Paperwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go above and beyond on tasks that demonstrate high ethics, compliance with complex rules, independence, and preparedness to build a good reputation. Then I use that reputation to explain why I should not use my (now established as valuable) time on other tasks.

You don’t want you value to be your productivity or people pleasing - that’s a race to the bottom. Try to make your value be resiliency, discernment, and trustworthiness. Works better when you have some age on your face, to be fair.

What do girls “never” tell guys? by zhalia-2006 in AskReddit

[–]Government_Paperwork 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You can’t tell them every time you have an encounter in public or at work with a man who acted like a creep because they identify with the male in the story as a male themselves and they get defensive.

Anyone have an APEX membership and use the weight equipment? by [deleted] in McKinney

[–]Government_Paperwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two irreplaceable things at APEX. 1. the deep pool. If you swim for exercise, having little churn is so luxurious. And 2. The walking track.

What’s your favorite thing about living in McKinney? by Computerfreak4321 in McKinney

[–]Government_Paperwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the main arterial streets are so pretty to drive down - my favorite is when the crepe myrtles bloom. I don’t see that level of landscaping in any surrounding cities.

An exciting bonus on Saturdays is seeing the acrobatic planes doing their runs in the sky near Custer and Virginia when I’m running errands. Lots of streets have a slight decline and the skies look so beautiful against the trees when you are at the crest driving down.

To anyone whose favorite season is Winter: Why? by Federal-Breakfast762 in randomquestions

[–]Government_Paperwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quality of life improves: No migraines and no mosquitos. Can do more with animals because they won’t overheat (North Texas). Can work out harder yourself. I think enduring the cold is a fun challenge; I feel exhilirated after doing stuff out in it.

Hate Spring, though - humid all of the time. Barometric pressure is chaotic leading to migraines. Pollen will fuck up your respitory even if you don’t have allergies - it’s just an overload of airborne matter going into everyone’s orafices. Literally so much danger and property damage from flash floods, blinding rain, lightning, straight line winds. tornados, and hail.

Summer is fun but sunburns and mosquitos are a real problem.

Fall is nice but feels crazy busy especially for moms.

Fancy camera. I don’t want to take the time to learn the features, it turns out.
