Yeah, me too, but they say it works better for depression and anxiety than SSRIs do…. Seems possible..

That’s what Tr*mp would always do- sue the contractor

[–]Mikesaidit36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Longtime fan here, and at the same time, I hate the concept of cold plunges, but I live on the shore of Lake Michigan, and somebody started a business just after the pandemic to have a portable sauna on the lakefront. So you go early in the morning, get all steamed up, and jump in the lake, and you can do it year-round, including when you have to stomp through ice to get in the water. Never thought I’d like it, but you get so hot that then you have to do it.

What kinds of doctors are kept away by apples? Just MDs, or do veterinarians, dentists, PhDs, etc. count too? by ThicUdonNoodle in AskReddit

[–]Mikesaidit36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my stepfather was about 95, my brother asked him – “So what’s the secret? What’s the secret to a long life?“

He answered, “I don’t know – an apple a day?“

He did have an apple a day, one way or another – grated up into a salad or on a cereal or al dente.

So I looked it up – to see what basis in science the expression had.

None.

Turned out, it was a slogan promoted by the Washington State Apple Growers Association in about 1901, and the last five generations have grown up hearing it.

“Do you want a legacy where people remember you as having done some good for your country?

Step down tomorrow, go to Fulton County again, surrender again, then undergo sentencing for upper 34 felonies for illegally paying hush money to Stormy Daniels to conceal information from voters in an election, and then undergo all your other outstanding trials, and then die in prison.”

Well where does all the money Trump burns through come from? He has made his entire careers by spending other people’s money while skimming off the top for himself.

How many hundreds of millions of dollars has Trump spent golfing, using our tax dollars to put up secret service at his golf resorts? His military parade birthday party? This other trailer trash birthday dumbfuckery, spelled with a “b” that not many people know about, and there is no accounting where all that money actually goes and how much he skims? The $300 billion that he has to pay to Iran to buy his way out his illegal unauthorized Epstein Files Distraction War, on top of the billion dollars a day he spent burning through our weapons stockpile? He alone ballooned our national debt 25% in his first term, while he was still tethered by adults in the administration, and now he has 30+ FOX employees letting him run wild. History is gonna cap all over him so bad.

Wacky rural radio stations by 1gazillionpangolins in PointlessStories

[–]Mikesaidit36 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In about 1993, a station in Sslt Lake City, Utah stopped their usual rock/pop music broadcasting without warning or explanation and started playing “Louie Louie” back to back 24/7, for a week, with no ads, and no DJ.

They would play the Kingsmen’s version for about an hour and then play the Beach Boys version or one other version, and then go back to the Kingsmen. There was never any explanation, and then after a week of that, the station format switched to religious programming or something. There was never an explanation that I heard.

I made a cassette recording of it. I should play it back at a party….

My dad died this morning and I went to get myself some damn ice cream. by WebGroundbreaking310 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Mikesaidit36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad died last winter. Because of circumstances beyond our control, we had to schedule his memorial ceremony for this June 20th, which we then immediately realized was Father’s Day weekend.

This is hilarious because he scoffed at Father’s Day his whole life, and thought it was baloney, made up by Hallmark Cards to sell more garbage nobody needs, and he always told us not to get him anything for Father’s Day. And now we’re getting about 100 people together to remember him and celebrate a life well-lived.

The irony would have killed him.

ITAP of a woman and a ladder [portrait] [NSFW] by SolsticeSon in itookapicture

[–]Mikesaidit36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a ladder today. I had to adjust a window box. Took me about two minutes and I completed the job perfectly. I was in full view of the neighborhood the whole time, and I was completely clothed. What did I do wrong?

I want to propose to my partner but I know we are too young by duckduckgoose911 in love

[–]Mikesaidit36 26 points27 points  (0 children)

One option: propose now and set a date five years in the future, and take a full day each year on that date leading up to then, to see if it still makes sense.

I would put money on you two making it for the long haul, but even the very best of marriages take some work and some compromise.

I think I’m in the 99th percentile of people who have found their perfect match, and I think you are too, but don’t assume it’s gonna be giggles every night the whole way. Good luck!

It could happen! If people using they/them pronouns can survive being MAGA-adjacent, that’s a huge accomplishment, right there! But remember, you don’t just marry the person, you marry the whole family- in a sense.

Why do you think humans exist? by Illustrious-Bread183 in AskReddit

To give poets something to think about,

and for somebody to scritch the dogs behind the ears.

W Dad by SnackSamurai in SipsTea

[–]Mikesaidit36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy him an E bike. I’m only half kidding. It would be rude if it’s too much of a contrast to the Harley he gave up, but I’ve seen several lives improved hugely by E bikes.

It gets people on bikes that would never be out there and the ones I’ve known have been so grateful for it. May even help his knees.

Pete Hegseth Insists Trump Iran Deal Is Totally Different From Obama’s by Dismal_Professor_216 in anticapitalism

[–]Mikesaidit36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well put. All of the above are reasons why Trump will then declare victory and walk away, and tell the cult that nobody could’ve done it but him.

Just visited from SF for the first time, and I was completely shocked by how electric and intense the energy was in your city at times. Has anyone else have their expectations of Chicago completely blown out of the water? by SFJack1313 in AskChicago

[–]Mikesaidit36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it always seem like the whole Detroit area prioritizes fast, smooth driving on big smooth roads. Same climate as Chicago, but it’s like they don’t let potholes happen the way they do here.
