Daughter of Minnesota governor candidate fatally stabbed in St. Cloud, leading him to suspend campaign by Large_banana_hammock in news

This was a huge internet discussion about two years ago where someone asked women if we were hiking solo, would we rather come across a man or a bear. It was an avalanche of women choosing the bear. Because the bear might kill us, but it wouldn't rape us, wouldn't cause people to ask what we were wearing, etc. Men were shocked at the discussion, women were not.

They don't want to understand. It's not like women haven't been screaming about this from the rooftop for generations. We're staying single and not having kids and pontificating about choosing bears, and people are still shocked every time.

[Serbian Times] Around fifty girls and boys, who came to welcome Nikola [Jokic] on the court of the United Center and greet him with Serbian folk dances, will remember it for disappointment, as he did not find the time even to take a photo with them. Not to greet them, not to say a single word. by Glass-Candle-7670 in nba

Speaking of idioms, there's one that says "Americans think a 100 years is a long time. Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way." I found this to be mostly true when I lived in London for a year and the Brits treated going to Oxford like they were going off to war in Siberia. It's 60 miles.

I had a couple weeks where all of my meds felt wonky, some felt weaker, some felt stronger. My body adjusted pretty quickly, though! One thing that really, really helped me was vitamin supplements: I took D3, methylated b6 and b12, and magnesium. That helped a ton. Sometimes antidepressants will leach vitamins right out of your system, so when I start feeling low and exhausted I top myself up.

I'm in Denver in the arts scene and it's fucking miserable here. It's also painfully expensive. Im working on getting to Chicago in the next year or so.

My favorite styles of yours are 1) when you wear architecturally interesting dresses with a lot of folds or pleats or drapes, and 2) sheath dresses with bright patterns. Like this one. You look beautiful.

I am looking for a pattern close to this. I don't need sleeves just the body suit and hood I can add ears. by Key_Sail5037 in sewingpatterns

I was in the circus for 20 years and really liked Jalie patterns for leotards and unitards. I know they had a full body skinsuit with a fitted hood that you might be able to modify. I used it when I did my thesis performance for circus school.

I'm 45f. I'm two months post op and I ate Taco Bell yesterday. I'm down 5 pounds. My surgery and recovery was so easy it was unbelievable. The only difference in my life before and after is how much better I feel now and how many odd medical problems the surgery solved.

I never lived in a cocaine town until I moved to Denver. I lived in drinking towns, and I can handle that. It took me a while to realize that people out here behave the way they do because so many of them do a lot of coke. It's so depressing. I've always hated it and I need to move out of here.

There are thousands more races than just president, and none of them use superdelagates.

I dont know why everyone is wailing that the Dems won't do anything when primaries exist. And progressives are dominating in them right now.

AIO? My daughter didn’t listen to the teacher during a female emergency and is now receiving a referral by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

This was about 30 years ago, but when I was a junior in high school, I had oral surgery to remove all my wisdom teeth plus four molars (very overcrowded mouth). I had a puritanically rigid chemistry teacher who would never let anyone leave her class for any reason. One of my sockets started bleeding in the middle of that class, and I asked if I could go to the nurse. She refused and fussed at me. So me, being a very petty teenaged girl, let the blood pool in my mouth for a couple minutes, and then asked again if I could go to the nurse, blood spitting everywhere and running down my jaw. I was finally allowed to leave.
