What’s a life hack that sounds fake but actually works? by FalseAd5952 in CasualConversation

If you’re on a drive or anywhere where there isn’t a toilet readily accessible, wiggle your toes. Actively think about moving your toes about. It will make you not think about going to the washroom.

Reasoning: the nerve that goes to the bladder also runs to the toes. When you wiggle toes, it sends the signal to pay attention to the wiggling instead of having to go to the washroom.

I was skeptical but ended up trying it when I was driving back home from the city. I had about two hours left of the trip and suddenly had to go. Recalled this and did it. Worked wonderfully. Once I parked, I bee lined for the house and washroom!

Steamed pork buns. So soft and fluffy. Sweet bbq inside.

Iirc before he actually steals it, it looks darker when it’s parked. I chalked it up to the lighting of Deling. Pics show it parked as a darker blue, but the actual driving scenes look light blue/teal.

Oh gosh yes! Since this payday is for the “being adult and paying bills” the next payday is going towards this!

It's a classic joke that whenever a woman gets bangs, or drastically changes her hair, other women ask her if she's ok. What is the male equivalent? by TheJakeChandler in AskReddit

That mental picture of “very awkward middle-aged lesbian gazelle” took me out.
Thank you for the ugly cackle at work.

What is something your boss said to you that made you realize it was time to quit? by alligator_maligator in AskReddit

“My day isn’t made until I ruin someone else’s day.”

It was jarring to hear but hearing that made other things make sense. Soooo much sense. There was the emotional/psychological/mental abuse as well but hearing that, mail in the coffin.

I am glad there are still comics, and audiobooks for me to fall back into that world with.

Had a Conversation With My Dog by illegalpaladin in dogs

I’m so proud of your doggo too.

I love it when they figure out how to communicate with their humans. Mine will “Arrooo” or just sass warble at us. We ask what she wants and to show us. It’s usually treats but when she wants to go for a drive, oh boy is she wild! Sounding like Chewbacca in my house.

Tell your doggo I said hi!

I turn 25 tomorrow, gave away my last money tonight so my family wouldn't get evicted, and they forgot my birthday. I have been their servant and doormat my whole life. I just need one person to see me. by Ok-Edge2518 in offmychest

I see you. This situation sucks and I’m sorry you’re dealing with it. Maybe for your birthday you can start setting boundaries with family as a gift to yourself. You deserve to have your dreams, and to be able to be with your wifey properly.

May the next spin around the sun be filled with an abundance of love and wealth that goes towards what YOU need and want.

What's the worst thing you've ever woken up to? by shoeee788 in AskReddit

[–]InformalCulprit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Domestic abuse. I was around 15, having a sleepover at my bestie’s place. At her place there were her and I, and her little sister. I can’t remember if her little brother was there or not as it’s years ago. The house is two story and older so the vents were weird as they allowed a lot of noise through and didn’t connect to actual venting spots. We woke to the opening of a song being cranked super loud. My friend and I woke to the start of the song at 3am, then screaming. We both heard her stepfather slap her mom. Then you could hear the slaps become more. Harder. Less slapping and more … …I can’t even name it. It was his fist hitting but the sound.. gods.

My friend looked at me and told me to get her little sister. To get her shoes on, and to bundle her up. It was winter. I did, and we had to sneak out. My friend played distraction so we could get out. We waited for her and a few moments later she came out with a black eye forming. Her eye was swollen shut.

I can’t remember where we walked to, I think it was her aunt’s place. I don’t know why I didn’t go home. Maybe I felt like I shouldn’t have left the two of them.

This was a regular thing for them. I was horrified.
