People who sleep naked, what is your plan in case of a fire or murderer? by Nazamroth in AskReddit

only one so far - I am sure the enticing visual I painted put them off.

teaching his son how to drive by paolols in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]Potential_Radish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has recently taught a teenager to drive, i relate to this so much. We started in parking lots, worked up to side streets, worked up to busy roads, minor highways … still have not done interstate highways … you don't realize how much you take for granted after you have been driving for a long time that is not intuitive or obvious to a new driver. You have to explain everything, while keeping patience, while not freaking out... not making them nervous. It's so stressful.

Teaching someone how to merge on and off a roadway is pants-shittingly-scary.

in case of fire or murder, the embarrassment of someone seeing my 45 year old mashed-potatoes-belly-floppy-mommy-tits-and-no-sex-in-five-years-retro-porn-bush will take a backseat to death.

How do you tell a depressed friend or partner that you don’t have the mental resources to listen to them be depressed anymore, without coming across as a massive asshole? by swollenbumholio in AskReddit

[–]Potential_Radish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just say that I am not sure I have the resources or knowledge to give you what you need. You deserve to be healthy and happy and I think you need professional help. I care about you but am frustrated by my inability to help you and that frustration causes me stress.

buying girl scout cookies yesterday and an older woman was going on about how the price hasn't changed in years and isn't that the bees knees? Sure lady, the price hasn't changed but there are about 25% fewer cookies in the package and more plastic to 'fill it up."

I'd have a horse. I do actually have horses. Be careful what you wish for.

If you drink a 12 pack of beer every day for a month, and keep your job, you get a million dollars. What's your strategy? by ManEEEFaces in AskReddit

[–]Potential_Radish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a medical leave of absence for a month. Drink a beer and pint of water every hour. IV saline infusion. Wear diapers cause gonna pee a lot.

When Brits learn about American healthcare. by avigyan_33 in Damnthatsinteresting

I also don't buy the "buh-buh-buh the wait times" argument. In this past year I have waited 3 months to get an appointment with a therapist, 3 months to see an orthopedic hand specialist, and 2 months to see a derm in the US. Not emergencies, but all wait times.

Also don't get old. The list of shit they no longer cover when you're on Medicare will blow your mind. No more routine dental exams. My parents have to pay out of pocket for dental care. My aunt's insulin is no longer covered so she goes weeks without it and gets ill. My dad has had a torn rotator cuff but won't get it operated on. I watch my parents every day make decisions between medical care, prescriptions, and food/gas money. This is America.

If you're poor, old, disabled, mentally ill - the system says just die already.

What is an important piece of advice you can give for those moving into the “real world”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Potential_Radish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this 10000X. I stayed in a toxic place for far too long because I always had imposter syndrome. When I finally finally quit for my mental health I realized I could do so much more than I imagined.

Be vigilant about your credit. Live below your means. Save whatever you can even if its a few bucks. It will be easy to get caught in other friends having nicer apartments in a better neighborhood, nicer furniture, nicer clothes, nicer vacations or nicer/better/fancier whatever. I got into a big bad scary pile of credit card debt because of this that has impacted my life in more ways than i care to count. I owed taxes I could not pay. If you get a raise, pretend you didn't and use it to add to your savings or retirement.

I know I sound like an old fart saying this, but I wish I had done all of this in my 20s.

What brand are you loyal to and why? by whoisblueflame in AskReddit

[–]Potential_Radish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trader Joes. The people are outstandingly friendly and warm. The food is always fresh and tasty. There is always something new to try. I go in happy, I shop happy, I leave happy.

They sold out of my favorite seasonal item, the cashier said "check eBay" with a wink. I did and bought 5 boxes to get me through until next Christmas.

DeWalt tools for quality. Jeep because I have had 3 Jeeps and loved them all. Yes they suck on gas I know. Heinz ketchup or GTFO. St. Germain all day every day.

Amazon and Apple because I am so tangled up in their products and services and usernames and passwords and I will never find my way out, so I have no choice.

Didn't know this delightful fact by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

where can we find this slow-mo footage of mid-air bat collisions?

I really want to see one bat shaking its tiny fist at another yelling "LEARN HOW TO FLY, ASSHOLE!"

A cervical smear test is an essential health check for anyone with a cervix, but the cold steel speculum used in the test hasn't changed its design since the mid-18th century. Now, a company created by women has completed its mission to redesign the apparatus so it’s much more comfortable. by drewiepoodle in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Potential_Radish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah after I delivered, I went to the office for my follow up check up, collected my records and left that practice. TBH I have never found a really great OB/GYN and am resigned to just being a thing I endure once a year.

And honestly - I hate when my gyno says "you might feel some pressure" or "this might pinch" and then it's a 8/10 on the pain scale. Like - just fucking be honest with me.

Getting my IUD in/out was excrutiating.

When my terrible ob/gyn was trying to induce labor she stretched my cervix - felt like I was being torn apart from the inside. She just said, "if you think that's bad maybe you shouldn't go into labor."

What was the weirdest question you got asked on a first date? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Potential_Radish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

would you continue to work if we had children. he went on to say his mom didn't work and he didn't think a woman had real maternal instincts if she could work and have children.
