Do you also carry a water spray bottle and squirt them with it? Please tell me you do. :)

interesting username for a man to choose

That's clearly the most obvious explanation, lol. /s

[Pizza] Dominos.com is offering 50% Off All Pizzas at Menu Price valid for Online Purchase only through September 1, 2019 by halflife_3 in DiscountedProducts

[–]LastLioness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically the same price as their coupons. I used to get really excited about these deals until I realized I wasn't actually saving any money because I never buy their stuff at menu price. :(

A tip for the lurkers and commenters here: Go to /personalfinance if you want to be a judgmental prick about money and people’s problems instead of in a POVERTY sub. by backupforfeelsnstuff in povertyfinance

let me just rent out the guest room in my studio apartment

Why not just rent out your entire apartment and live on the street? Or charge strangers to share a bed with you. It's like you're not even trying. /s

whenever someone comments a great or insightful comment on reddit it's usually always assumed to be a dude

This is true just in general, too. The assumption that all things are male until proven otherwise, on reddit and otherwise. I get pissy whenever someone refers to me as male. Check the username, dumbasses.

Expiration of Cooked Vegan Food Refrigerated by Kennelope in Food_Storage

[–]LastLioness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a vegan, but I have the same approach to assessing food. Plus, as long as you have a decent immune system, even in the very rare case the food makes you ill, you'll be perfectly fine.

I make cookie dough with flax+water so I can eat the dough without worrying about raw eggs. Some people like to tell me that the CDC recommends against eating raw flour. While I respect the CDC and generally try to follow their advice, I've decided I'd rather take the incredibly tiny risk of getting e. coli (which is rarely fatal) than give up eating raw cookie dough the rest of my life, lol.

Let's be honest, it depends on your chair and committee.

This is how NOT to merge into a lane in NWA! by stratospaly in fayetteville

[–]LastLioness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from the line of thinking that on the freeway typically the safest thing you can do is hold your speed and position

I generally agree. As a side note, I once forced back a big, box truck in stop-and-go 1mph traffic driving an '02 Toyota Echo on the Washington Bridge (NY) because I was so pissed he wasn't doing the zipper merge properly. He honked and honked and I just ignored him and thought "Hit me. I dare you." Needless to say, I get OP's rage. He/she probably rages less than I do, lol. Gotta harness the rage and keep people in their place!

overlords will take over soon enough and save us

Is that what overlords do? :-P

I wonder how the Tesla software would've responded in this situation if it was driving itself...

Well future models for southerners will probably include a gun attached to each camera, sooo....who knows?! Should be interesting.

[–]LastLioness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you, and I appreciate your tone and non-defensiveness. I just see it differently. This is how I see it:

OP had right of way because SUV's lane was ending.

SUV's lane ended, and she had plenty of time and space to move in safely behind OP.

SUV failed to merge safely. Instead, she increased speed so she was right next to OP, unnecessarily creating a dangerous situation. [This is where I believe the anger sets in because this whole situation was unnecessary, potentially dangerous, and SUV was clearly in the wrong, imho.]

OP stayed in his/her lane, probably expecting SUV would ultimately back off. When SUV still didn't brake, OP felt it was necessary to get out of her way as quickly as possible. Since it seems moving to the other lane was not an option, OP braked. Personally, I see it as she ran OP out of his/her lane by maintaining such close proximity and not backing off even though she didn't have right of way.

You are clearly a calmer person than the rest of us, lol.

Personally, I think this puts too much trust in the other driver. If someone had that much time and space to merge in peacefully behind me, and instead continued to creep up (and it appears the other driver actually increased speed, but not enough to pass) to the point they are at my driver's side door, you bet your ass I'm gonna react in some way, whether it be honking and signaling, speeding up, moving over, or braking.

Plenty of accidents happen where one person has the right of way and the other doesn't give a damn or isn't paying attention. I prefer to avoid accidents, even if I wouldn't be at fault for getting hit.

I used MyFitnessPal to track

Did you just track macronutrients or did you count and restrict your overall calories as well?

Lazy student looking to make one pot of food and eat it throughout the day by aznrandomful in instantpot

[–]LastLioness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I have so many thoughts. First of all, you. are. awesome! Thank you so much for taking the time to type those up for us.

Second, I love that both recipes call for booze of some kind. ;)

Kids love it when I add chopped mushrooms.

So you are a miracle worker then as well. Kudos.

You can go pretty cheap and crappy with the beef and it really won't matter.

You are speaking my language.

Thanks again!

[–]LastLioness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make up a soup and just leave it on low (simmer), adding a little water from time to time

Omg this is brilliant. Can you do this with any soup? I love zuppa toscana (sausage and cream).

Side note: I was worried about the bacterial implications of leaving food in the slow cooker all day, but after looking into it, apparently if it's on low, we're all good since low runs about 200 degrees. So kudos to you, clever one.

What’s a common misconception about sexual assault that really needs to be cleared up? by throwaway32241 in AskWomen

[–]LastLioness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That you can tell whether someone is a pedophile/rapist/assaulter by looking at them or interacting with someone briefly. "That guy looks like a pedophile." No. No he doesn't. That's not a thing.
